A considerable quantity or pola- tnes are still in storage in the Georgetown warehouse on the rail-

There was also some sug- gestion that the potatoes now in storage would have to be graded and transferred to smaller con- tainers. if this is necescary it would provide much necdnd om- ploymonl. for a number of men.

Quarrels between Congressmen have been more frequent, if not so disastrous.

The worst: In 1856 Senator Char- les Summer (Rep. Mass), is strong anti-slave man, made a epeeca attacking the Kansas - Nabraska Bill and its aiithors, Stephen A Douglas and Andrew P. Butler.

RPDl'FSOlllRilVG5 Preston Brooks of South Carolina felt this was a libel on his state and on Butler, it rela- tlve of his. He followed summer into the senate chamber and pounded him with a. cane until he fell senseless.

The bcnllng was so brutal Sum- ner was absent from the Senate ior three years

Recent congressional fights have consisted mostly of shoving and pushing Such as the brief but liv- ely engagement in 1949 between two representatives now dead, Gene Cox of Georgia and Adolphe Sab-tth of Illlnlos. Glasses got knocked off, and that was about all.

On the effective (lair. a flat rate rctlurlion given the W'est last November will be climlnalcrl and superseded by the new scale.

This five per cent reduction on the ceiling rates was ordered by the board as an lntcrim measure pi-nding its major decision. It was accompanied hv permission to tha- railwnys to pick up the revenue loss by increases up in 10 per cent in Ontario and Quebec. These increases also will be automatical-

ly eliminated. The new move Tuesday on the ceiling tolls -- known as "class"

rnles -- is to be followed up by subsequent rulings on other types of rates. some of which have been tinder slurly concurrently with the r'nss rates. Eventually. charges on about half of the country's freight business will he equalized as between different areas. Effects Of Ruling

For ihe time being. the regional effects of Tuesday's decision stack up this way:

1. The three far-western prov- E-ces should get the greatest re.- ductions In rates, though the per- cenlageilti not known.

2. The over-all level of rates for Manitoba will be lowered some- what, though not as much as the provinces farther west.

3. Rate: within Ontario and Quebec will be moderately higher.

4. There will he no-change on freight moving within the Marl- times and Newfoundland, since. the hoard ordered that full equalin- fion stop short of Atlantic terri- tory ln line with protection given the area through the Maritime Freight Rates Act of 1927.

5. On traffic between the At- lantic provinces and points west. there, will he increases on lint? port of the haul west oi the At- iantic. region.

Major change in the actual rale scale from the board's lenlafive 1952 judgment. is that it provides a sharper tapering-down of charges per mile on long hauls. This will lend to give the far-western prov- inces a better break on hauls in and from the central points oi market and supply.

The taper is sharper than in ex- isting rates but more is 1101 as much taper as in one submillcrl in the board by the Canadian Pacific Railway after the original judg- ment.
