Senate Vote Makes
Tariff Cuts Sure
WASHINGTON, UP) — A 75-13
Senate victory for President Ei
senhower’s foreign trade bill on
Thursday assured him of the first
new tariff-cutting powers grant
ed a chief executive in 10 years.
The bill, passed by the Senate
Wednesday night, now goes to
conference with the House to re
solve differences. But the two
versions both contain the key
provisions sought by the Presi
dent.
Thus he is assured of a three
year extension of the reciprocal
trade law to June 30, 1958, plus
new authority to reduce tariffs in
5 per cent stages in each year of
the extension. These reductions
are to be in return for trade con
cessions from other free world
nations.

ICC Urged to Hold
Alaska Hearing on
Rail Freight Rates
WASHINGTON, Secretary
of the Interior McKay Thursday
urged the Interstate Commerce
Commission to hold a hearing in
Alaska on rail freight rates af
fecting the territory.
McKay announced that both he
and Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman
of Alaska are giving strong back
ing to the request by Edmund T.
Mansure, administrator of the
General Services Administration,
that the ICC investigate freight
rates on carload shipments to and
from Alaska.
The complaint said it is a rail
road practice to maintain a dual
set of freight rates for the trans
continental rail haul of commod
ities destined for Alaska and Ha
waiian ports.
it contended mgner rates snown
in domestic tariffs are applied to
goods shipped to and from Alaska
while export rail rates, which are
substantially lower for many
commodities, are applied to ship
ments to Hawaii and most for
eign areas in the Pacific.
McKay said he and Heintzle
man both believe ICC action to
abolish the alleged discrimina
tion would “produce a sufficient
reduction in transportation costs
to contribute in an important de
gree to the further development
of the territory.”
He said reports from Alaska
show widespread interest in the
outcome of the case and added
that a hearing in the territory is
believed necessary to secure a
representative cross section of
Alaskan viewpoints.
