PUC Plans Truck Rate Out Hearing
Sixteen Youngstown area truckers lost the first round in their protest against a rate cut on shipments handled by A A Trucking Inc between Youngstown and Mansfield. They claim the reduction benefits the Westinghouse Mansfield plant and plan hearings to challenge the order. Their attorneys say the move will force them to lower their own rates to stay competitive. The PUC refused to delay the effective date but will schedule hearings soon on the case. The dispute concerns the entire Youngstown steel rate structure amid rising costs.

Exports Cut Wheat Surplus Declines Amid High U S Exports
The Agriculture Department said record wheat exports reduced the domestic surplus to just under the one billion bushel mark, with a 1967 crop down and exports likely to stay high. The 1956-57 year saw 547 million bushels exported, far above 1955-56, aided by export subsidies and foreign aid. Domestic use fell to 587 million bushels, the lowest since 1921-22, due to reduced feed and seed use.
