(ASSOCIATED PRESS WTREPHOTO) Passenger fores on an rail Hnaa of the eastern division of Caairal Passenger association territory will be increased Aug. 20. Only round trip rates are affected. Increases on rates from Decatur will amount to nearly $7 on coach fares to New York City and to $6 for first class. Both increases are figured with the tax.

Rate increases without the tax amount to $4.35 and $8 for the previously mentioned classes to New York, the first listed' for the first-class fare and the second for coach. At present the fare with tax to New York City from Decatur is $93.78 for first class accommodations, $59.23 for coach. The fare boosts will make the rate $99.79 and $68.13. RATES TO Washington, D. C.

another mecca 'for travel -rs also be several dollars harder to get to. Present first-class fare to the national capital from Decatur Is $80.44 and with the Increase it will jump to $84.81. Coach fare. which takes the biggest increase at all points, is now $51, but with the Aug. 20 deadline will be $56.93.

The rate increases apply only to round-trip tickets and only in the area lying east of Danville, HI. and north of the Ohio river, allowing, of course, for the fact that the Ohio doesn't extend to the Atlantic coast. This means that passengers buy ing a ticket in Decatur for Danville will pay the same fare as at present, but those buying tickets to Lafayette, will pay an in crease on that part of their travel which is beyond Danville.

United Auto Work ers President Walter Reutber. There was no immediate reply from the union chief. Ford's parts plant at Monroe, Mich, employing about 2,000 men, was closed Thursday by a strixo over a worker's disciplinary layoff.

Management said an "irresponsible minority of workers' was to blame. ACROSS THE NATION Ford em ploys approximately 110,000 production workers. A wildcat strike at Chrysler's Dodge main plant idled 22,500 men. Another 10,000 remained idle at Hudson in the month-old ''strike or lockout" At both, the union has charged illegal "speed-up." Managements have denied it Reuther's intervention was asked by Ford in a telegram warning that all its plants in the country might have to close.

He did it by crossing buffalo bulls and Indian brahma cows, and the freakish-looking critter he has de veloped may be the forerunner of a new breed of quick-growing range cattle.

He calls it the brahmaIo." When Pete Rosander started his project nine years ago his fellow ranchers told him it was a foolish waste of time. "But when people try to tell you that you can't do anything, you get your back bowed," said Pete. Crippled from years of ranre riding, Rosander bought a private herd of 33 buffaloes in 1942. He slaughtered all but nine calves. Then he decided he would cross breed buffaloes with rugged bran ma cows.

"I began to think my neighbors were right The Brahmalo has a brahma-shaped body, and the head and fur of a Buffalo. At two it now is as big as a four-year-old range steer.

Today the rancher has a herd of 13 brahmaloes, and the neighbors who scoffed at him are now trying t- buy them. But Pete won't sea He Wants to go on breeding and experimenting. Knowing nothing of textbook genetics, he asked a scientist in the U. S. department of agriculture what he should do next He got this answer: 'IF A MAN is dumb enough to try to cross a tropical cow with a buffalo and then goes ahead and does it I wouldn't say he couldn't do The same scientist then told Pete he had done more 'in seven years in this line than the government had in 75 years.

And he helped get the rancher 10 more buffaloes to continue his work. Whenever I go to Pete laughed, "they ask me more questions than I ask them." The 54-year-old ex-cowboy and broncho buster is the number one man in this particular quest for cheaper meat for the American din ner table. He finds it flattering that scientists all over the world now write him for advice on animal cross-breding. But he figures his brahmaloes won begin to pay off for at least another 10 years, and he isn't satisfied yet that they are the best he can do. Army Cancels Big Contract Washington.

The average cost of an evening of fun in Paris has gone up 20 per cent in the la.t six months. This latter will cut deeply into the size of the crowds of tourists and Parisians who normally spend sunny Sunday afternoons in the suburban parks.

WITH ITS 2.000TH birthday party well under way, Paris is extracting record numbers of dollars from record numbers of tourists. The general attitude of the city seems to be: "They come here, for fun, and they'll have it Only this year fun just costs a little more. If a visitor is tempted to end it all in a swan dive off the lofty Eiffel tower, he would find that even the high cost of committing suicide is getting higher. The fee for -an elevator ride to the top of the tower just went up from 40 to 70 francs (14 to 20 cents). At night the fee is 200 francs (57 cents).

The daily production at the Phila delphia mint now operating on a 60-hour week, is: in dollars; $50,000 in quarters; $72,000 in dimes and $30,000 worth of pen nies.

They're not making even i nickel's worth of nickels. "We don't have the money," Dressel ex plained. He went on to say that to turn out the daily quota of the other coins the mint is currently working on "borrowed funds" since the fiscal appropriation has not yet been ap proved by Congress.

The end came yesterday when the House passed and sent to the Senate a $1,045,940,115 appropriation bill financing the State, Jus tice and Commerce departments and the federal courts for the fiscal year which began July 1.
