ICC Freight Rate Changes Would Aid South and West
Washington AP The Interstate Commerce Commission pledged final steps to equalize freight rates for manufactured goods east of the Rocky Mountains, with reductions up to 15 percent for the South and the Mississippi to Rockies region. Western and Southern interests had long complained of eastern bias, and a uniform coast to coast classification overhaul was ordered, simplifying thousands of classifications into about 30 classes.

American Plant Makes Newsprint Of Used Stock
Gary Indiana AP reports Cary Paper Mills, Inc. operates a $2,000,000 Gary mill producing 26 tons daily of reprocessed newsprint for 11 newspapers. It uses cold water to remove ink from old paper and pulp it to create new paper, a method distinct from hot water processes used elsewhere for cardboard and wrapping paper. Newspapers value the recycled stock despite higher costs of about $58 per ton over Canadian newsprint due to limited Canadian supply.
