12, The Illinois Bell Telephone today asked for rate Increases which would boost present bills of downstate residential custom- All other prices would be Increased, Including private switchboards, mileage charges, service connection charges and miscellaneous items of equipment. On the shorter distance station- to-station calls which were increased in 1947, no rate increase would apply; others not raised bo- ers by 75 cents to $1 a month, i wm 1(1 severally be upper 5 cents, and the Initial talking period on 15, 20 and 25-cent toll calls would change from five to four minutes. There would be no Increase on calls to any points outside Illinois, Two motorists incurred facial lacerations and contusions in a motorvehicle collision at 6.47 a. m. today at the intersection of Broadway and Alby, and both were taken to St.

Joseph's Hospital for emergency treatment. Police listed the victims of the mishap as Leo Jones, 48, of 517 Ridge, who was driving west in Broadway in a coach on-his way to work at Mississippi Lime Co. plant, and Vincent Bussen, 32, of Michael, who was driving east in a pickup truck en route to work at Western Cartridg eCo. Plant in East Alton. The mishap occurred a scant block from the police station, but police received first word of the accident in a radio message from I 1 ire Chief Lewis' who chanced to be nearing the Broadway-Alby intersection when the collision occurred.

The new rales proposal, filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission, requested a 16 percent increase in the Bell's total Income to be spread among 1 all customers in the 323 Illinois communities served. The Increase on business tele- phones In the downstate area would range from $1.25 to $2 a month. The commission set the or to Illinois miles. points beyond 65 Proponed Alton Present monthly rates and the petition for hearing Nov. 24 In class of Service Chicago.

proposed rates In the principal classes of service for Alton arc: There would be no increase on long distance calls to points beyond 65 miles or to points outside Illinois. In Chicago, main business service would be boosted $2 a month and main residence service SI a month. The company proposed small decreases in some cases In the monthly allowance of message units or calls, and some increases in the charge per unit for additional messages. Bell spokesmen said they did not know how much additional revenue the overall 16 percent proposed increase wbuld produce. They said more than 40 percent of the requested Increase would be paid out in state and federal taxes.

Last year the company was granted rate boosts which meant $25,378,000 a year in new revenue. A company statement said that operating costs since 1040 had risen at a faster rate than Income. Because of "continued inflation," the statement added, "the present return on plant'investment, after giving effect to the third round of wage increases, is at a lower rate currently than It was in 1946." G. K. McCorkle, Illinois Bell president, said the company needed "immediate relief from inflationary pressures." "The company has delayed filing these rates as long as possible," McCorkle said.

"It presents them now only after the actual operating results demonstrate the clear need for that action and its urgency." The Bell company serves 1,500,000 customers in Illinois. On Chicago suburban service, toll calls which were Increased last year would not be raised again. But on short haul out-of-town calls that were not affected by the last Increase, the company proposed a boost of 5 cents. This applies to present 5 cents special rates from outlying Chicago neighborhoods to adjoining suburbs which would be replaced by the standard 10-cent rate. The initial talking period on 15, 20 and 25-cent.

calls would be changed from 5 to 4 minutes. This change and certain other toll changes woijld not apply to customers in Chicago and suburbs who pay on a monthly basis for the extended area message unit service. Their message unit charges, however, would be increased somewhat. Business private switchboards, extensions, miscellaneous services and service connection charges would be increased to some extent in the entire state.

Copies were mailed yesterday to the commission's 17 members, who will meet Nov. 29 In Chicago to discuss the survey and begin formulation of a road program for presentation (o the legislature in January.

Communists, pro-government, newspapers said, withdrew in disorder, leaving 37,000 dead and wounded. They had tried to break 135,000 Tsinan veterans across the canal for an attack on Suchow's left flank, 30 miles east of tho government bastion. (The Communist radio heard In Pciping, said tho reds were annihilating the Seventh National Army Corps east of Suchow and had cooped up the Second Army Corps west of the town. The rod radio said two National divisions went over to the Communists on Monday north of Suchow). The fight at the canal was bloody.

The Nationalists were credited with turning back more than 20 red charges. The reds, reports said, were using what the Chinese call "human sea" Indies of men charging almost shoulder to shoulder. Automatic weapons and low flying strafing planes took a heavy toll. The newspapers called it. a major victory observers agreed that at, best it might only delay tho red timetable by three weeks at most.
