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.

BOSTON, June 7. (P) Declaring
governments "conceived largely In
selfish ambition" cannot survlce, the
board of directors of The First Church
of Christ, Scientist, today asserted
Christian Science students had "a
definite responsibility" to preserve a
system of government which protects
the civil rights of the people and in
sures freedom of speech, the press
and religious worship.
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. Moffatt at his office In
the Medford Center building. The
tooth was found recently on Dr. Mof
fatt's ranch on the Old Stage road
about eight miles from Gold Hill.
Dr. Moffstt.- X-ray specialist, took
photographs of the tooth and sent
them to the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington. D. C. A letter from
the institution quoted Dr. R. S. Bass
ler, its head curator of geology, as
follows:
"The photographs Illustrate a fos
sil shark's tooth of the genus Car
charodon of the Miocene period dat
ing back some millions of years, rhe
large sise of the specimen is oj In
terest and we should be glad to have
It for our collection."
The letter was written by J. K.
Graf, associate director of the In
stitution. Enclosed In the letter was-
a government frank so that Dr. Mof
fatt might send the tooth to the
Institution without expense.
The tooth, Dr. Moffatt related, was
unearthed by Ben Tucker of Central
Point when he was digging a drain
age ditch on the Moffatt ranch. It
was not more than 16 Inches under
the surface, the doctor said.
The tooth yelgha ten ounces. It
Is heart-shaped, coming to a fins
point. At the base or roots it is
about 4 la Inches across. The Bid as
are about six inches long and through
Its thickest part It is about 14 inches.
The tooth is In a remarkably well
preserved state. Most of the enamel
remnlns. and the gum line Is clearly
visible.
' Dr. Moffatt was at first Inclined to
send the tooth to the Smithsonian
Institution, but after slicing with the
Mall Tribune he said he thought he
might retain It to lend to any mu;
seum that might be established here.
