CHAMBER EXPECTS INCREASED DEBATE Trade Group Sees Indication Congress May Show More “Independence.” By the Associated Press. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States said yesterday it saw indications that the new Congress might break away from “the previous disposition of the lawmakers to await the ‘green light' from the White House.” Saying there was “an apparent wide divergence of opinion” between the President and congressional lead- ers over the need for a constitutional amendment broadening the Govern- ment’s power to regulate business, the chamber added: “What this portends does not yet | appear.” | The business organization asserted that “‘must' and ‘emergency’ will THE SUNDAY § Courting Cat-Astrophe very likely be less frequently heard | @ as descriptive of lepislative proposals and projects.” Number of Proposals Noted. Noting that the number of pro- posals bobbing up in Congress “bids | fair to break all records,” the cham- | ber continued: “This fecundity might be inter- _preted as a symptom of a resurgent | legislative continuation of the previous disposi- | tion * * * to await the ‘green light' from the White House and then going full speed ahead. “Then again it may not.

Discussing the business outlook in | relation to economic regulation, the | & chamber said that “at present there | seems a disagreement among the | doctors as to just what the patient needs. although they most all voci- | ferously assert he needs something to | hold in check too rapid a con-| valescence. | “Here and there is a lone voice in initiative rather than l‘ - the wilderness suggesting that what | %% he needs is to be let alone, and let his own recuperative powers assert themselves.” | These views all were expressed ln the chamber’s fortnightly Washmgton review. The chamber also issued a rom- mitfee report on the Robinson-Pat- | man anti-price discriminating law. It | suggested suspension of the law's provision authorizing suits for three times the damages claimed as a re- | sult of price discriminations.

In a surprise move, the Nation's railroads asked the Interstate Com- merce Commission yesterday to restrict current hearings on proposed freight rate surcharges to tariffs affecting basic commodities. At the same time they requested & decision “as early as possible.” ‘The request was construed in some quarters as seeking a “test case” on the commodities which would bear the bulk of the proposed’increases. If the hearings are limited, and the decision adverse to the carriers, these quarters suggested the roads might abandon their entire fight for an up- ward readjustment of the freight rate structure. The roads are secking higher rates on a specified list of freight as a means to recapture a substantial portion of the revenue they say they have lost through Government termination of emergency freight surcharges last De- cember 31. Spokesmen have estimated this loss at $10,000,000 monthly. Yesterday’s request, made by R. V.
