It excluded Way's authorization higher rates for grain, iron, steel scrap and iron, saying increases in those ratei must remain at the 3 per cent rate set last June. Trie ICC saM its f.nal decision will be made later. Meanwhile, it said, it will permit the higher rate BOW because "of a critical need en tie pact of the railroads for additional revenu; to offset increased operating costs." Ths railroads filed petitions for rate Increases last March. The 3 to 10 per cent selective increase would provide an estimated $566.2 million in additional revenues.
Tis ICC said the increases can take effect on one day's notice but are subject to an automatic refund if the final decision determines the schedules are unwarranted in whole or in part.

--4 Chronicle Stiff Photo SPOKANE (AP) The 1969 Washington legislature is expected to get a controversial bill allowing of California vims In Washington grocery stores. The 3l-mmbtr Legislative Council gave iti stamp of ap- roval to the measure during an 11 day meeting In Spokane.

"In view of the testimony we received in our hearings," tha senator said, "very serious questions about the cost of the plane have been raised. For example, there is'some evidence that poor management on the part of the contractor may be a significant cause of the increase in cost." Earlier this month the Air Force said the price of the CSA could run billion over original estimates of $3 billion for the first 120 planes.

The C5A is designed to carry roops as well as big equipment like tanks and (rucks.
