FREIGHT RATE HIKE EXPECTED BY EARLY FALL Rail Heads See Approval for 15 Per Cent Boost; Net Increase 10. By United Press NEW YORK, June 12.—Having agreed that a 15 per cent blanket increase In all freight rates and charges Is necessary to lift the nation's railroads out of their present financial depression, carrier officials were confident today that Washington will be forthcoming with the necessary relief by early autumn. At a meeting of executives of all the important carriers in the country Thusrday, members of the eastern, western and southern railroad groups adopted a unanimous resolution to ask for the increase and authorized a committee consisting of the chairmen of the three groups to prepare and file a joint application with the interstate commerce commission and the state commissions. While an increase of 15 per cent in rates will be asked for, some of the commodities affected will not be able to stand this much of an advance, and in these cases the roads will make downward revisions, making the net result, if the 15 per cent rise is granted, about 10 per cent after allowing for some rates to be unchanged. Belief has been expressed in railroad circles that the administration will look with favor on an increare in freight rates, as it would obviate the necessity of wage cuts, and some opinion is that the interstate commerce commission is likely to speed the matter through as an emergency measure such as was passed in 1921.

NEW $4,500,000 FORD PLANT IN GERMANY OPENS Cologne Celebrates as Work Officially Gets Under Way. By United Press COLOGNE, Germany, June 12.

sentathes of the Prussian provincial administration. The plant was a rush job. Begun in October, 1930, it was pushed rapidly despite winter weather and difficulties with marshy land on the bank of the Rhine, where part of the foundation had to be reinforced with cement. The Ford quay will enable shipment of machinery and parts by an all-water route from Detroit to the Cologne plant, with transshipment at Rotterdam. Last year Ford sold more trucks than any other truck manufacturer in the country. Total sales were 13,500 units. For most of this year only assembly will be carried ojf at the new plant at the rate of 150 units

per eight-hour day—3oo units a day in all. Two thousand German workmen, directed by America superintendents, will be employed at the start, and 500 engineers, clerks and members of the business staff. The number gradually will be worked up to 3,000 and 600, respectively, as the new plant feels its way. Company executives plan to employ only as needed, seeking to obviate possible later retrenchment. For days during May the doors were surrounded by thousands of workers from early morning, applying for jobs. Cologne built two special roads to facilitate transportation. On May 1 the first machine left the plant and the event was hailed by the city.

PLAN TO MARRY; FORGETUCENSE Society Nuptials Held Up by Oversight. GREENWICH, Conn., June 12.-*-The familiar joke of the bridegroom who forgot the ring is as nothing compared with the plight of Charles Arthur Moore, socially prominent New Yorker, who planned to marry Miss Rhea Logan Munroe of Greenwich, Saturday. With 3,500 invitations extended,

the bishop engaged to perform the ceremony and train and steamsh. > reservations for the honeymoon made, the couple discovered they had forgotten to apply for a license five days in advance. The only hope of holding the ceremony as scheduled seemed to rest today in the decision of At-torney-General Warren B. Burroughs as to whether the Connecticut marriage laws would permit waiving of the five-day law.
