It permits a per cent hike in both coach and sleeping- p'arlor car mileage charges. It may be made effective five days notice to the public.

Commutation fares are not affected, but the upward revision in basic interstate passenger rates go to 3.376 cents per mile in coaches and 4.5 cents per mile in cars. This compares with 2-cent coach and 3-cent pullman rates in 1941. Four increases since then advanced the eastern rates jnore than 50-per-cent. Southern and western railroads in the samp period have made advances of about 20 per cent, the basic rates in these sections now 2.5 for coaches and 3.5 for The eastern lines, conceding that the new increase might divert tome traffic to competing, forms travel, estimated that the changes would yield them another a year, to help meet a continuing drop in passenger ser- vice revenues, which last year ahowed a record deficit of more '-than -ICC Chairman CTiarles D.

But then he jumped from three stories Up.

Prior to, his leap, Hale had fled from another courtroom and eluded police in a dash from the upper story, thence to the basement, and up again. would only be scratching the surface of the American market, congress was told. Mutt Up Export Drlvet "The participating countries must intensify their export drive to the dollar areas if they are to attain independence from extraordinary- outside assistance," the report went on. "This will require on the part of many European businessmen a reorganization of factory methods, installation of new and more efficient machinery in order to reduce costs, greater attention to merchandising and advertising, redesigning of products and packaging to suit American preferences, and a determination to serve American customers with the care and attention they receive from American producers." It also will be necessary the report said, for the Marshall plan countries to give their exporters incentives to enter the tough American market.

This will be done, as EGA Administrator Paul G. Hoffman has suggested, by letting the exporting companies keep a share of the dollars earned in export trade. The report covered EGA operations up to July 1 of this year. It also emphasized the warnings voiced by Hoffman two weeks ago before the council of Marshall plan countries in Paris: That recovery is imperiled by import controls and exchange restrictions which act as barriers to trade. Repeats Hoffman's Plea It repeated Hoffman's plea for the economic unification of Europe, noting some steps in that direction but declaring that progress "on the whole has been slow." With reference to the problem of high European prices, it was stated: "Devaluation of currencies was unavoidable if the gap between prices in the two parts of the western world was to be narrowed." On the more favorable side the report said: Industrial production in the Marshall plan countries reached a new peak in the second quarter of the year; the farm outlook indicated a probable record post-war production; foreign trade not in the direction of the United States; inflation continued to abate.

"Stable Democracies with a broad parliamentary basis have been brought into being and strengthened," the review continued. "The Communists have been put on the defensive throughout the free nations of western Europe."

Some supporters of the ordinance urged that the food and beer business be divorced, Deputy City Attorney C.

Russell Mattson advised the council it would require an act of the legislature to bar minors from taverns, but he uphold the 9 p. m. ruling on the grounds it is a modified curfew.

Girl Denies An Argument Joyce Crafton Says 'Slayer' James Heer 'Little Armorous' COLUMBUS, Nov. 15 A young woman who danced with James E. Heer shortly before he shot and killed a fellow student at Ohio State university has denied they quarreled on saying goodnight.

Joyce Crafton says Heer was only "slightly amorous." That was her reply yesterday to the statement of a Columbus detective that the shooting of Jack T. McKeown was an aftermath of a rebuff she had given the admitted slayer's improper advances. Miss Crafton had come from her Cleveland home last Friday to accompany Heer to a homecoming patiy preceding the Ohio State-Illinois football game. The shooting occurred early Saturday morning after the party, near the fraternity house where both Heer and McKeown lived. Through her attorney yesterday Miss Crafton told newsmen: "There were no improper advances.

There was no violent argument either at the dance or after it. He became slightly amorous while saying goodnight. That is all." A grand jury, probably next week, will consider a first-degree murder charge against Heer. The fact that Heer was bound over to the grand Jury on a first- degree murder charges does not necessarily mean he must stand trial on that charge. The grand jury can return an Indictment, based on facts of the case, for either first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter or assault and battery.

Detective Sgt. Lowell V. Sheets said yesterday Heer's action was a result of a combination of factors, including intoxication, a rebuff by Miss Crafton of his "improper advances" and criticism of him by fraternity members. Winchell's Mother Plunges To Death NEW YORK, Nov. 15.

Mrs. Jennie Winchell, 77, mother of Walter Winchell, plunged to her death last night from her room on the 10th floor of Doctor's hospital. Her private nurse, Kathleen Carton, said she had left Mrs Winchell's room for a few minutes to obtain the oatient's evening meal, and returned to find a window open and Mrs. Winchell gone. The elderly woman's nightgown clad body was found on the 87th street sidewalk below.

The official police report said she either fell or jumped. Mrs. Winchell was admitted to the hospital Oct. 24 for treatment of a heart ailment. A wind of only 10 miles an hour at a temperature of 40 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, can freeze exposed human tissue in one minute.

Tonite and Wednesday Hal Boyle Putitter Hal Boyle NEW YORK, 1 woke up this morning, I reached under my bed for my secret news ticker from Moscow. Its page was blank. The Russians had had a quite weekend. They hadn't used atomic energy to move a single mountain or change the course of a single river. Yawning, I reached under the other side of the bed and pulled out my secret news ticker from Washington.

It was completely blank, too. Nobody had resigned from the cabinet, and even the admirals were silent. What a dull world! "Quit brushing your teeth and get me my crystal have to look into the future," I called to wife. She obediently trotted to the closet, opened a hatbox and dragged out my old crystal ball the $3.98 model that department stores keep in stock for gypsies, happy mediums and unhappy columnists. 1 rubbed it to a high gloss with he bedsheet, shook it and peered nto it.

Deep inside the ball a message formed: "Notre Dame will through the season undefeated." Frances, who had been look- ng over my shoulder, laughed: "Ha, ha, that's no news. The sports writers have been saying that for years." I shook the crystal ball harder and looked again. It read: "It's Truman against Eishen- hower in 1952." "Ha, ha, ha!" chortled my mer- helpmate. "I read that already 27 other newspaper columns ast week, rover boy." I threw the ball away in dus- Then I began to" perspire. For I realized that I Had reached he dilemma that comes sometime every had noth- ng to say.

No no views, no nothing. Suddenly in this despair I recalled that a columnist of 40 wears' experience had told me once when I asked him if he ever ran out of ideas. this pulp-paper Plato had observed, "as long as sin and loison snakes are alive in this world a man of character and 'eeling will always have some- to write about." And so, today, we will take up he problem of poison and leave sin for another rainy day topic. As a matter of fact the subjects of sin and snakes are Intertwined, and have been since the first rep- 'ile sabotaged Eve with his fast alk that a girl has to eat apples to get her vitamins. The snake, like the devil, is a cosmopolitan traveler.

You can 'ind him everywhere in the world jxcept virtuous Ireland, progressive New a few oceanic islands where a snake vouldn't be seen for fear of los- ng his social standing. The last snake with a voice was hat scaly rascal in the Garden of Eden. Not one since then has lad a larynx, and all they can do drama critics. There are some 2,000 kinds of snakes in the modern world, of which, 600 are poisonous. Most will bite people on occasion, but civilized man only bites one kind back rattlesnake.

Anyway, these 600 different var- eties of poisonous snakes are creeping and crawling around the earth underfoot. And for one, don't intend to let another day pass without pointing out that icither the Republicans or the Democrats are doing a thing to re- orm them.

Thj (Unctr wti ted to nit Incomes Stay Up But Actual Earnings Dip Hidden Pay, Higher Prices Slash Average Man's Wage BY RADER WINGET NEW YORK, Nov. 15 lffV- Things are getting so complicated that it's almost necessary to have a statistician figure out how much money you really make In a week.

For instance, the average factory worker is making more money than he did even during the wartime his real earnings are less. That is, his week's work buys less goods. Total personal income so far this year tops all previous years except the average for 1948, which was the all-time peak. But even in that year nearly one-third of the nation's individuals and families made less than $2,000 a year in cash. Picture Complicated And the whole picture is being complicated further for the average man by hidden wages in the form of pensions and insurance paid for by the employer.

He never sees this money until he Is 65 years old, or until he breaks a leg and gets laid up. Death benefits, of course, help the family. The national industrial conference board, a non-profit research organization, finds that the average weekly earnings of production workers in manufacturing amounted to S54.60 in August, the most recent figure. That is 129 percent higher the average 10 years ago. Even the peak war year of 1944 when everyone was working overtime and getting premium pay, the average was only 93 percent above 1939.

Top pay, incidentally, was earned list average of a week. All of 1948 averaged $54.14 a week. The question is: "How much of that income is spendable, and how much will it buy?" In other svords, when you bring home your pay envelope minus income tax and social security -payments, what can you and your wife buy with it? The conference board says you can buy 33.5 percent more as of last August than you could 10 years ago, even though your gross pay is 129 percent higher toiSay than it was then. Back in 1944 during the war when there was price fixing and rationing your pay got you 48 ner- cent more goods than in 1539, even though you were grossing only 93 percent more then than you did in 1939. Prices Cut Earnings That shows higher prices cut back the enlarged earnings since the war.

But it also shows that the average factory worker is well ahead of the game so far as the comparison with pre-war years is concerned. The senate-house economic committee says some 16,000,000000 individuals and-families last year made less than in cash income both in cities and on farms. Their survey is pointed at the act. that these people would buy more if htey made more. The minimum wage law, which will become effective in January, was designed to step up such incomes a notch or two.

It raises minimum wages to 75 cents an hour from the present 40 cents. Already there are movements afoot to hike the minimum wage to $1 an hour. Transfers John Andrew and Doris May Allen to Henry and Alice Tiemaii, pt. It. 12, blk.
