Reynolds blocked in tourist rate case fight
Charlies A.

He had planned to travel to Washington, D. C., to present the case, with Oregon and the state expected to share costs. The fight centers on reducing Chicago to San Francisco tourist rates by equalizing charges across routes. If the state cannot fund his trip, commercial organizations backing the cause may step in to cover costs.
