Return Ticket and Mileage No Good Under New Rates
Washington reports that return tickets and mileage books bought before the higher fares will not be valid when the new schedules take effect. The Interstate Commerce Commission is working out how to handle tickets purchased before the change for use after the effective date. Officials say travel at old prices will not be permitted once the new levels begin, with refunds possible for unused mileage or return coupons or passengers allowed to use them upon paying the additional charges.
