VOLUME 1 RIDGWAY CHARGES REDS WITH FAKE BOMBIHG Rail Rate Hike Causes Rise In Price Os Meat • WASHINGTON (OP)) Rail roads boosted freight rates today, bringing higher pric es on meat. At the same me consum ers were warned of a new in flation spiral coming this winter. Immediate effect of the new freight rate Increase—nine per cent In the East and six per Cent in the South and West—was permission for meat packers to raise their wholesale price ceilings. The new meat ceilings will take into account the freight increases, and at least part of the higher prices was expected to, be passed on to the housewife soon OTHER RISES SEEN Prices also may go up on other goods such as automobiles, which are shipped FOB Detroit with transportation charges extra. The ’freight rate Increase was approved by the Interstate Com merce Commission to days ago. It created the paradoxical situation of one government agency contribut ing to price increases while Eco nomic Stabilizer Eric A. Johnston complained that the Defense Pro duction Act didn’t give him enough power to hold prices down. The ICC, however, granted the rate Increases because of a boost in materials and labor costs to the railroads since the last freight rate Increase two years ago.

Addition of the new front, which replaces an old familiar landmark erected here about 1900 by the late J. M. Lee, completes an extensive and progressive remodeling program by the Dunn bank. The new front was designed by engineers of the High Point office of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com pany. This modernistic front was achieved with a blend of silver cast aluminum and sclentifloaily-made glass brick. The aluminum has a soft finish with plenty of eye ap peal and the glass brick are built to reflect light onto the building in a scientific manner. WILL ADD LIGHTS The name of the bank is also constructed of cast aluminum let ters and lights will be added In the background for a.i outstanding lighting effect at night. Acoustical tile which cuts out 75 per cent of all noise has been in stalled on the walls and ceiling of the bank by the Charlotte office of Johns Manvllle Company.
