PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. .TUNE 7. 1938 WOULD PUT WIRES Senate Committee Told Tel egraph Service Part Of National System Similar To U. S. Postal Service. WASHINGTON, June 7. ;p Wll lard Bliss, a spokesman for a C.I.O. union of communication companies' employes, suggested to a senate com mittee today that the government take over telegraph companies and operate them as part of the postal service. Bliss, vice-president of the Amer ican Communications association, tes tified at an interstate commerce sub committee's hearing on a resolution by Senator Neety (D.-W.Va.) for an investigation of "monopolistic tend encies" in the telegraphic communl cations field. When Bliss urged the committee to approve the resolution, Chairman Bone (D.-Wash.) said a decision prob ably would be delayed until next session. "The telegraph industry la becom lng more restricted and tends to be a dying Industry." Bliss said. "The only solution is for the government to take it over." "You would not want the govern ment to take over a losing business would you?" asked Bone. "No. but telegraph communications are part of the national economy and definitely a public service similar to psotal service." Bliss answered. Neely's resolution proposes an In qulry sIbo Into understafflng, em ployment conditions and wages. Jane Smith, slim, bobbed -ha I red blonde from New York City, testified that Western Union teletype opor- ators had faced a "speed up system" during the past two years which had Increased their average from 60 mes sages an hour "to 60 and as many as 130 messages." "This has caused nervous break downs of some of the operators." she said.

WINTER ROAD DAMAGE IMPROVEMENT PLANS Due to the 16,000 d ft mage last winter to Jackson county roads, the county court has been forced to abandon several proposed road Im provements and to curtail others. It was announced today. In order to remain within the budget, the $15,000 damage must be eliminated from other Items such as oiling and construction. The gen eral road fund contains but 91.000 for emergency purposes. It was stated that the road Im provements eliminated from this year's program would be given pri ority and preference next year. The county court and county en gineer are studying the problem, but have not determined what projects will be eliminated. Work will be started on roads that seem the most necessary, and wherein they have the co-operation of property owners benefiting by the improvements. The county court holds that more roads should be Improved, while at the same time realising the budgeted amounts can be exceeded under no circumstsncea.

City Sanitary Service. BOSTON, June 7.

In a statement Issued after the an nual meeting, the directors declared: "While wo should not magnify er ror 'or become unduly alarmed by the present day suggestions of war and disaster aggressively presented through many channels, we must be keenly alert not to allow a false sense of security to lull us to sleep and make us Indifferent to situations of national and International character which, unless corrected, are destined to affect our Interests as directly as if the scene of their action were with in the bounds of our own commun ity." The directors announced the elec tion of Ralph Hastings Knapp of Needham as president of The Mother Church, to succeed Judge Clifford P. Smith of Newton. Knapp is a member of the faculty of Mechanic Arts high school, Boston. C. Augustus Norwood, manager of the - committee on publication, as serted: "Medical regimentation ap pears well entrenched, Mrom the League of Nations down through nat-, ion al-state, county, and local health I departments; and the public In gen- ' eral was never more apathetic with regard to It. "Our position Is a strong one. We never interfere with the rights of others to enjoy whatever method of healing they may prefer; we ask sim ply that our right to rely on spirit ual means for healing bo not inter- ! fered with." i Tooth of Ancient Shark Found on Valley Ranch A ahark'i tooth millions of years old was today In possession of Dr. Francis J.
