TRANSCRIPT
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSIONadopted on June 15 the recommended reportand order of Examiner Edward L. Boisseree,that the southern ports foreign freightcommittee’s application to amend its agree-ment under Section 5a of Part I of theInterstate Commerce Act, which authorizesrail carriers to form cooperative ratebureaus to publish rules and charges fortransportation. The proposed amendmentswould change the Southern Ports ForeignFreight Committee’s Articles of Organiza-tion and Procedure as follows: "(1) Estab-lish an Executive Committee as the govern-ing body with power of review over actionsof the general committee, (2) Provide thatCommittee action applies for account ofall lines, (3) Redesignate the TariffPublishing Agent as a Tariff PublishingOfficer, (4) List the current tariff pub-lications, (5) Name a new individual Chairman and Attorney-in-Fact for thecarrier parties, (6) Revise the list carriers currently signatory to the agree-ment, (7) Change the Territorial Applica-tion to reflect abandonment of lines,(8) Substitute the General Freight TrafficCommittee-Eastern Railroads fcr the nowabolished Central Territory RailroadsFreight Traffic Committee, (9) Amend theindependent action provision to cover finalaction of the Executive Committee, and(10) Make other incidental changes neces-sary to clarify or effectuate the describedchanges."
The area of controversy primarily thesubject of protests by the Gulf FortsAssociation and the Houston Fort Bureau,along with other interested parties, wasthe establishment of the Executive Com-mittee as a review committee. It was con-tended that this establishment would delaydecisions regarding the proposed changesin freight rates. The Southern Ports ForeignFreight Committee has operated without anyappeal committee for the last sixty years.Examiner Boisseree concluded that "It isimpossible to determine with any certaintywhat the amended agreement actually pro-vides," and he held that the provisionsare "indefinite, ambiguous, and conflict-ing" with a "conflict between the explana-tion offered in the instant application
and the provisions in the agreement itself."He recommended that a provision for appealby interested parties, other than carriermembers, be instituted; that the provisionsthat votes may be taken by members priorto receipt of shipper objections is un-acceptable, and there is no standard forthe five day vote by telegram; that noprovision is made for publicizing certainamendments that may affect interestedparties; and, that there is no provisionfor mandatory public notice of independentaction proposals. Examiner Boisseree sug-gested that the proceeding be held opento afford the applicants an opportunity tosubmit revised amendments. The proceedingwill be held open for three months, begin-ning with the May 15th date of his order.
THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT Court for theDistrict of Colorado has granted a tem-porary restraining order in the case ofAdmiral Merchants Motor Freight, Inc., etal. vs. the United States of America andInterstate Commerce Commission. This orderprevents the Interstate Commerce Commissionand the United States of America from en-forcing or attempting to enforce the orderand requirements of the Interstate Com-merce Commission entered in its Docket No.34971, requiring the refund of overchargesresulting from an increase in freightrates in the Middlewest territory whichthe Commission found to be unreasonableand ordered cancelled.
THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN Railroads hasannounced increases in demurrage chargesfrom $5 to $i0 for each of the first fourdays, and from $I0 to $20 for each of thenext two days instead of the next fourdays, and from $15 to $30 for each subse-quent day. In addition, Saturdays, Sundaysor holidays were to be considered aschargeable days when the last day of freetime began at 7 a.m. of the day immediatelyprior to the Saturdays, Sundays or holi-days. The National Industrial TrafficLeague will seek suspension and investiga-tion of these charges.

The Military Sea Transportation Ser-vice was formed October ], 1949 as acentral organization to co-ordinate allDeFense Departnlent shipping. Its prede-~’essors were the Army Transport Ser-vice and the Navy Transport Service.

The Port of Houston is visited byupwards of 150,000 seamen yearly com-ing in on ships from more than fortynations. Lying as it does some five milesfrom the heart of Houston, the Porthas offered little in the way of recre-ation for these visitors from overseas,other than waterfront bars and bang-outs. Points of interest are far awayand transportation is difficult and costlyand, as a result, seamen ow~r the yearshave not found Houston an attractiveport of call.
