19 Per Cent Drop in
U. S. Auto Deaths
Washington. (UP)—T h e
census bureau has reported a
drop of 19 per cent in the
number of automobile deaths
in 127 major cities during the
first six months of this year,
compared with the first half
of 1937.
Deaths 4 totaled 3,709, com-
pared with 4,591 in the corre-
sponding period last year.
Austin, Tex., July 11. (UP)
—Hearings called in Texas by
the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission reminded the state
railroad commission sharply
last week that state rights are
small so far as transportation
rates go.
The Texas commissioner re-
fused to order, within Texas,
advanced freight rates on
some of the commodities for
which the L C. C. ordered ad-
vances over the country gener-
ally.
All the Texas commission
can do is show why it refused
to raise the rate. If the I. C. C.
remains unconvinced, the in-
creases become mandatory.
Texas fought to the final
court years ago against I. C. C.
right to force rates within the
state but lost the “Shreveport
rate case,” so now must bow to
the federal authority.

Spirited battles are being
waged by the present rail
commission to prevent similar
federal control of motor truck
and bus matters, and federal
control of oil production. Local
courts so far have sustained
the state commission’s rights
to refuse permits for interstate
bus and truck traffic if the
