"If I had my- way about It such an order would be issued. Kerrigan de clared, "but I doubt very, much that either of my colleagues could te per auaded to stand with ma oiv such a mOve. especially in view of today's action by the . federal court setting aside our. emergency order , reducing telephone rates effective December 1.7 Neither H. - H.
