PAGE EIGHT 1\ RATEHIKETO UPSET PRICE (ONTROL, OPS WASHINGTON, June 26—(P— Freight rate increases proposed for the Alaska Steamship Company would “have a very great bearing upon the stabilization program in its relation to Alaska,” the Office of Price Stabilization said yestcrday. | OPS representatives, appearing before the Fedgral Maritime Board, gave this as one of the two reasons the agency opposes the rate hike. | The OPS also feels the increases would be passed on to the consumer, | spokesmen said | The steamship company told the board rates must be increased to match increased wage and operat- ing costs. “Without the benefit of increased | rates,” the company said, “the car-| rier's property wili be subjected to public use without compensation.” LOCAL OPS REPORT Appearing before the Federal Maritime Board in opposition to freight rate increases sought by the Alaska Steamship Company, OPS| representatives declared that any advance in rates would be passed on to the consumer with resultingy disruption of the price control pro- | gram; - This is according to- word | received by the Territorial OPS dn Juneau. r A The steamship company, which has’ petitioned thé board to vacate an rorder delaying scheduled in- creases until September 21, ‘con- tended ‘that without the benefit of increased rates the carriers’ property will:be subjected to public use with- out compensation. Selected Rate Increases On behalf of the director of the Office of Price S.abilization, Joseph | Fitzmaurice of the Transportation Public Utilities and Fuel Division of | § the OPS declared while it is recog- | nized that the Alaska Steamship Company has applied selected rate increases rather than an across-the- board increase, it is submitted that selected dncreases can be just as; inflationary as an acrpss-the-board increase. Edward J. Friedlander, price exec- utive of OPS Reglon 14, which has | jurisdiction * over territorial price control, pointed out that under | Geiling ‘Price Regulation 9, applic- able'to the territories, the territorial sellers’ are authorized to pass on to their . consumers any increases in freight charges. AlS0 opposifg the 'proposed rate increase was Trwin Silvermann, chief attorney for the territories; A. J Fuge, business analyist for OPS Re- gion 14, and Edwin L. Davis, Re- gion 14 attorney. 'The steamship epmpany was represented. by Stan- ley B. Long’ of Seattle and Ira Ewers_of Washington, No date for a decision was set but may be ‘expected in a few weeks, counsels said. PRES.
