Washington, .March 30. General re
vision of freight rates on fruits and
veee tables from Southern States to-
J Northern and Middle Western mar
kets in order to bring rates to a parity
with those from other producing sec
tions, were approved today by the In

Carload and less than carload rates
on about 48 kinds of fruits, melons
and vegetables from every section of
the South to Kansas City, St.PauI,
St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louis

cities, are involved. In the case of tne
cities mentioned - 447 rates are in
creased, 332 rates are reduced and 37
rates left unchanged.
The commission found that most of
the railroads' proposals for a read
iustment of rates were justified, but
that in certain specific instances the
proposals were disapproved.
Disapproval Included proposals to
increase rate3 on potatoes from points
Arkansas, Oklahoma Missouri and
Kansas:, to increase rates on fruit
from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mis
souri, and to increase rates on can
teloupes and muckmelons from Ar
