Gifford Tells Stockholders' Much Harm Done by Purge
Walker's Findings Incor
for Trivial Reasons Is
Finding Spring Grain
Sowing Behind Last Year
rect and Misleading
Phone Gain Is Reported
IfTW YORK, April 31. fAP)
Walter 8. Olfford, president of
American Telephone A Telegraph
company, repeated to stockholders
at their annual meeting today In
stronger lAruruagfl his recent criticism
of Federal Communication Commis
sioner Paul Walker's "one-man" re
port on the Investigation of AT. & T.
Olfford described tha report In
, which Walker bad said telephone
rates could be cut 25 percent "with
out Interrupting existing net earn
ings" as "Incorrect and misleading."
Ha satd:
Facts Ignored
"The Investigators, in attempted
support of unfair or erroneous as
sertions, employed selected facts
while Ignoring other and controlling
fa-eta; they Imparted to tentative of
fice memoranda prepared for pur
poses of preliminary study or dis
cussion the authority of final dec
larations of company policy; they
related documents to circumstances
other than those under which they
were prepared or used or to which
they were addressed; they drew and
stated utterly unwarranted Infer
ences and professed and urged Illog
ical and unfnlr conclusions."
Olfford said that although the
company had assumed they would
have the right to erorw-exnmlne wit
nesses, they were not permitted to
do bo and that although they had
been called upon originally to pro
duce Information they were not al
lowed to "present evidence of ours."
He added;
Itcport Inaccurate
"The record of ' the Investigation
la a record, not of Impartial Invest
locators, but of partisans and prose
cutors. Ths Information assembled Is
neither accurate nor comprehensive."
He pointed out that the full com
mission of seven members has not
yet returned Its formal report to
congress.
Despite general slowing up of busi
ness. Olfford told the .stockholders,
wb continue to gain In the num
ber of telephones. During the first
two weeks of April, we have gained
14.000 telephones, but the number
of toll and long distance conversa
tions continue to be somewhat less
than the corresponding period of a
year ago.
"With wages snd tuxes higher
current earnings ore somewhat lower.
Bell system earnings for the three
months ending February 28. were
at the annual rate of 17.70 per share.
Earnings for the 13 months ending
February 28, were $9.31 per share"
Afton S. Hay ward, a Brooklyn
stockholder, asked Olfford whether
earnings could be maintained If
rates were reduced by 28 percent.
The commissioner (Walker) ssya
they could," Olfford replied, adding
after a round of laughter:
"There would be no earnings."
MOSCOW, April 31. flV-The sov
iet purge of collective farmers was
ordered stopped today.
An order signed by Joseph Stalin.
a secretary of the central committee
of the Communist party, and Vya
chelaff Molotoff, chairman of the
council of people's commissars, de
clared much harm had been done by
mass expulsions of peasants from
farms for trivial reasons on the pre
text of purging the farms of hostile
The communist leaders accused pro
vincial officials of bureaucratic high
handedness and warned them they
would be tried as criminals unless un
warranted expulsions cease.
Means Narration
Outslng of peasants from collective
farms means tarvatlon, the order aatd.
adding that such action only created
hostility to the Soviet regime.
Two other orders, Issued with thn
apparent Intention of Inspiring col
lective farmers to strive for bumper
crops, promised them better condi
tions. One required that at least 60 per
cent of the cash Income of farms
must be distributed among the farm
ers. The other ordered tax evasions
by Individual peasants stopped.
The government found that collec- 1
tlve farm boards had been sp-ndlnfT
funds excessively on buildings and
other capital investments, as well as
for administrative purposes.
Grain Saving Lag
As a result farmers In some prov
inces failed to receive any cash In
1037. Others received only 28 to 30
per cent of their farms' cash Incomes.
This caused peasants to seek won:
elsewhere, which In turn forced the
collective farms to hire workers from
outside.
Spring grain sowing is lagging morr
than 13,000,000 acres behind the are;
planted last year.
Although the anti-purge order fnl
ed to mention this lag, It was believe
Intended to speed up the sowing, a
well as to hasten other preparations
for the 1938 crops.

What
IS
Kilowatt?
The kilowott-hour is a meosurt of electncny. It is
really o giant unit. It is the energy of a horse
working for 1 13 hours. The horse con do more
than the muscle work of 10 men. So o kilowatt,
hour is equol to the combined muscle work of 13
strong men in an hour. A kilowott-hour is 1000
watt-hours just os one foot is 12 inches. A wott
hour is not so small that we should sneer of it.
When o 100 pound woman walks from the cellor
to the first and second floors, ond then to the attic,
she is tired, yet her work equals only I wott-hour.
She would have to moke'the trip from the cellor to
the attic' 1000 times to equal the work one kilowatt-hour
of electricity does. The average cost
of o kilowott-hour used in the home in the United
States is nearly cents, the average for this
company is much less than that. Would you wolk
from the cellar to the attic 1000 times for less
than 4 cents ?
