The Interstate Commerce Com-; mission said today that national defense factors played an impor-' tant part in its recent decision to! continue present freight rate levels through the end of 1955. The commission noted it had been called upon to act on the matter at a time when there was a division of opinion on whether the country would continue its pres-! ent high level of prosperity indefinitely, run into a substantial recession, or level off at some un-determined economic middle ground. However, the ICC said It had a clear mandate from Congress to keep the national transportation system in shape to meet any emer-1 gency, and for that reason had; decided to keep in effect for two' years the temporary 15 oercent rate increases granted to the railroads and domestic water carriers last year. The two-year extension was announced late last month, and the formal opinion was issued today. "Our experience in the task." the commission said, "indicates that our transportation system' may, without extensive notice, be1 called upon to make extraordinary exertions in behalf of national de- i fense.

"There should be some insurance against any possible slowdown or breakdown in transportation service and that fact may well resolve some doubts about the propriety of increases in rates which might otherwise prove insuperable." 1LM CMIIW fKiuioniu CSNTKAL CITY STORE AT 1203 MARKET STREET DON'T MISS Today's Luncheon Special at Longchamps!

A centultatien sprawling New York-New Jer- sey waterfront. Mr. Eisenhower interrupted his vacation to drive to his summer office at Lowry Air Force base to sign the measures. He then went trout fishing in the mountains 40 miles southwest of here. The White House announced the President would break his vacation briefly next week for an overnight trip to New York to register for the fall municipal elections and participate In the dedication of a housing project on the lower East ASKED BY GOVERNORS The waterfront legislation was i proposed by Gov.

Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, and Gov. Alfred E. Drlscoll, of New Jersey, after long investigations of waterfront conditions. The bistate waterfront compact provides for a special commission empowered to set up new regulations for employment of waterfront labor.

Driscoll and Dewey will name the two members of the commis sion, with the appointments sub ject to confirmation by their own State Legislatures. The bill was signed into law only a day after the AFL suspended Its International Long shoremen's Association until it could clean house. The I LA declared today it would do all in its power to win full acceptance by the AFL again. REFORMS OUTLINED Under the law signed by Mr. Eisenhower, the commission will establish a special register for longshoremen, set up a comprehensive system of-employment in the port area and license pier superintendents and hiring agents.

The commission also has authority to ban longshoremen with criminal records, subversive records or those who posed a danger to "public peace or safety." Before leaving on his one-day fishing trip, the President approved 10 Federal recess appointmnts, announced two direct Federal appointments and issued a proclamation declaring the week of Oct. 4 as Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. Most of the bills signed by Mr. Eisenhower were of a private re lief nature or measures of a rela tively minor nature. Army Solution Xo Contract And Xo Fuss WASHINGTON.

Aug. 12 (UP). THE ARMY said today it had settled a controversy over where to buy gas masks by buying no gas masks at all. The Army had awarded a contract for gas masks to the Firestone Rubber plant at Fall River, although the Pennsylvania Rubber Co. of Jeannette, was the low bidder.

Fall River at the time was classed as a more severe unemployment area than Jeannette. and Firestone was given a chance to meet the low bid. Later Fall River was reclassified to the status of Jeannette and Rep Augustine B. Kelley Pa. protested the contract.

The Army, however, held it was binding. But last week Comptroller Gen eral Lindsay C. Warren ruled the contract, which called for 1954-55 deliveries, was invalid because it was not based on current requirements. As a result, an Army spdkesman said the whole procurement contract was being dropped and no new bids would be sought. Have yo hoard?

The workers are up in arms over Lanier program to pare the Government payrolls of surplus civil servants and effect more economies by Juggling with the age of retirement a sensitive subject in security-conscious France. Laniel insisted tonight he would not be pressured by any special interests into revoking his economy decrees. In a nationwide radio address he said he would oppose the strike movement to the finish.

The organs of the State aYid the public services are sacred in the I degree to which they symbolize the indispensable solidarity of the body social." Laniel declared. "Face to face with the strike which seek to paralyze everything, Tthus icaiegoncaiiy answer no. I say no to me strike, I say no to the pressure moves, direct or Indirect. i which have been imposed on the Uovernment; I say no to the accumulation of discomfort which i those who are striking forget they are inmcung on the more numer-lous who are not on strike." amices are crippling gas and electric supplies, railroads, coal mines, shipping, health, services, subway and municipal bus systems, and postal, telegraph and telephone services.

They will not represent the men at arraignment, when pleas will be entered, said Thomas D. McBride. chairman of the Civil Rights Committee of the bar association. WONT ALLOW DELAYS For that reason. Judge Grim announced the arraignment would take place at 2 P.

M. Aug. 24. He told the defendants that if they did not obtain counsel by that time, attorneys would be appointed by the court. "I am not impressed by the statement that these defendants can get counsel better if they are out of Jail than if they are in," the Judge said.

A week ago Judge- Grim post poned arraignment until yesterday when the seven defendants said neither they nor their wives or friends had been able to retain lawyers. Appearing with McBride for the bar association were former City Solicitor Joseph Sharfsin and Wil liam J. Woolston, who recently served the Attorney General's office as a special investigator of City Hall rackets. DAVIS HAS OWN LAWYER David Cohen was retained as counsel for David Dubensky, 46, of 1725 N. Creighton also known as David Davis, former member of the Communist Party's National Committee and business agent for an electrical union thrown out of the CIO in 1949 far being Communist-controlled.

Opening the session. Judge Grim asked if the defendants were represented by counsel. McBride replied: "They are represented by counsel not of their dwn choosing. There are three lawyers who are here willing and able to give as sistance to the court and the de fendants alike in an effort to set reasonable bail." Judge Grim, asked each of the seven defendants individually if he was satisfied with the volunteer attorneys. Each replied in the affirmative.

PRESENT FOR BAIL ALONE McBride handled the over-all case for the seven defendants. Sharfsm spoke in behalf of Benjamin Weiss, 39, of 5268 Parkside Walter J. Lowenfels. 56, of 4510 Regent and Samuel Gobe-loff, 44, also known as Joseph Roberts, of McClelland st. near 6th.

Woolston spoke for Nabried, Kuzma. Irvin (Chick) Katz. 35, of 2709 S. 9th and Sherman Marion Labovitz, 29, of 3022 Euclid st. Judge Grim asked the three attorneys if they were "prepared to represent these defendants all through the proceedings." "Not at this time, your honor." McBride replied.

"We are here in connection with the bail alone." Hildenberger inserted: "It was within the discretion of the court to fix bail and to take into con sideration precedents established in the five previous years." The prosecutor 6aid the defendants "are top functionaries of the Communist Party in this area embracing Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware and operate under the Central Committee." Find 5 Children Dead in Icebox WEST MEMPHIS, Aug. 12 (AP). Five children were found dead in an icebox at Proctor. tonight. A funeral home at West Memphis said the victims were the children of Mr.

Maple Pecan the Pennsylvania aress Manu-, facturers Association announced here today. Abraham Glassberg. president of the association, said members of his organization had ratified an agreement granting a 6 percent. wage increase to the garment workers, members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (AFL). FACTORIES SHUT DOWN The strike started Monday and shut down dress and waist factories in Hazleton.

Easton, Wllkes-Barre, Scranton and Olyphant. Ratification of the settlement was announced by Glassberg after union and jnanagement reached an agreement in New York last night. 35-HOUR WEEK David Oingold. northeast department director of the ILGWU, said the new agreement, in addition to the wage increase, included: A work week of 35 hours instead of 40. Extension of other terms of the present contract until Jan.

31, 1955. A nine-cent hourly boost for time workers. Glassberg said 20,000 workers had quit their Jobs in 160 plants. This was denied promptly by Gin-gold, who said that no more than 12.000 were employed in the Pennsylvania factories and that 4000 of these had been requested by the union to remain at, work. Carpenters Quit AFL in Protest Continued From First Fage ecutive Council meeting due to end Friday.

Maurice Hutcheson said his union ws immediately discon tinuing its payment of per capita dues to the AFL. The Executive Council's "no-raiding" recommendation must be placed before the AFL convention at St. Louis next month for ap-1 proval. Hutcheson, however, told council members their action indicated! "that they are more concerned with the affairs of the CIO than they are with those of the Federation." Charging that the AFL has failed to control "its own affiliates." he spoke of "disruptive conditions" within the AFL and said for many years the Executive Council failed to act on complaints filed with its Building Trades Council. He said his union had no objection to a "no-raiding" pact as such, but saw no reason to remain in the AFL as long as it was not settling its own problems DOCKERS PLEDGE CLEANUP Earlier the International Longshoremen's Association, union accused of harboring racketeers and criminals, promised the Executive Council it would do everything possible to stave off an imminent suspension from the AFL.

Meany, however, indicated he was skeptical of the ILA's latest cleanup pledges. "It's quite plain we want action and not promises of action," he said. The ILA Executive Council was reportedly torn into several factions on what to do in response to the decision reached by the top I AFL leaders to recommend the ILA's suspension. This recommendation also will be acted upon by the AFL convention in St. Louis next month.

Some ILA leaders reportedly wanted to quit the AFL; others to demand the resignation of Joseph P. Ryan, ILA president, himself under indictment charging misappropriation of more than $10,000 in ILA funds. But a faction favoring knuckling down to AFU cleanup demands apparently, won out, and the ILA leaders as a group issued the statement promising to do everything possible to accomplish the cleanup before the AFL convention meets Sept. 21. mnm All Wool Gabardine SLACKS blue grey brown tan cocoa Ideal for real comfort Smartly tailored Designed to hold press Pleated and zippered Cuffed free Sizes 29 to 44 GERMANTOWN Chelten Greene Open Friday 14-es nlp.95 Volu II Xdkl 101 SOUTH STREET T21S MARKET STREET Pianos To Rent WITH OPTION TO IUY AS LOW AS MONTHLY Phono Rl 4-3777 LESTER PIANOS.
