HALLECK LEADS FREIGHT DEBATE

Clashes With Full Southern Group Over Fight for Rate Differentials. By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) clashed with the entire contingent of southern Democratic Congressmen rece ently in a bitter debate over the long-fought freight rate differentials for the South, : Rep. Halleck charged that “this matter is politics as usual with no thought about defense.”

The debate was on the Senate amendment to the 10-billion dollar

defense appropriation bill, providing $246,000 for investigation of rate differentials between southern and

proposed to be made by the newly formed board

for Snsportation vegan and research

Charges Disctimiation Rep. Halleck found in the Senate hearings that Senators Kenneth D. McKellar (D. Tenn.) and Johh H. Overton (D. La.) had insisted on

the board should go into the mat- | ter of freight rate differentials be- | tween the North and South.

| As a member of the House Inter-|

|state and Foreign Commerce Committee, Rep. Halleck insisted that this study was being made by the Interstate Commerce and that the new board had no power to conduct such an investigation. “I just want to point out what is going on here. That so-called sectional discrimination is a mere |myth which southern politicians | have conjured up for politicial pur- | poses,” Rep. Halleck said. | With that the Southerners arose almost en masse and on “Will the gentleman yield?”

“Protests Ignored

But the Republican dean from Rensselaer refused, saying the time was short and he wanted to get them told. “The House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee went into this matter of rate discrimination at the instance of the Southern Governors Conference,” he continued. “They floundered ‘around and found that their actual evidence | was so weak that they asked that | the whole mater be turned over to | the ICC. I just do not want this | new board to be used to duplicate

ticians from the South.” Once again came a roar of protest from the Southermers, but the | Hoosier continued to harass them. | “This is an inter-territorial squab- | ble without anything but a political foundation,” he continued. “As | a matter of fact the rates are fair, | when a study of traffic density, ter- | Fain and the like is included in the | findings.

Arkansan Shouts Back

“I 4m sure that the ICC decision in these matters will be fair and reasonable.” Rep Clyde T. Ellis (D. Ark) re- | fused to remain silent longer. “If this is a matter only for the | ICC,” he shouted, “why did the State of Indiana appropriate money |to fight against the rate changes?” “The answer to that is very Rep. Halleck replied. “My

| priation” With that thrust Rep. Halleck resumed his seat and the Senate amendment was adopted without further protest. The only amendment not approved by the House was the $4500 special secretaries for Senators. In the Senate, Senator Frederick Van Nuys (D Ind) had voted for and Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) against this.
