3 OF CABINET
FOR UNLIMITED
WIRE CONTROL
Baker, Daniels and Burle-
son Give House Com
mittee Their Views.

The issue of permanent govern
ment ownership Of the telegraph and
telephone lines Of the country was
injected sharply yesterday into the
discussion by Congress OF the Pres
ident's request for authority to take
possession Of the systems. 1t over
shadowed all other considerations
in the controversy as to whether or
not the Presidents wishes shall be
quickly complied with or whether
Congress shall give up its plans for
a recess and stay here to fight It out
all summer.
Three members of the Presidents
Enthusiastically Baker. Secretary
Daniels and Postmaster General
Burleson-told the House Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, which
is considering the Aswell resolu-
tion, that control of the systems by
government should be permanent
Immediate seizure of the lines was
urged as a war necessity, but per-
maneRt operation of them was as
strongly recommended as a public
policy.
Committee Opposes.
A majority of the members of the
committee opposes this form of un-
limited tenure. They will insist
upon having the resolution amended
so that the lines shall be returned
to their present owners within six
months after the ending of the war.
The resolution probably will be re-
ported to the House in this form.
Similar action is looked for in the
Senate. where members of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee are in
sisting that a limitation on the pc
riod of control by the government
be fixed.
Overnight consideration by mem
bers Of Congress of the Aswell reso-
luton has brought to the front a
number of other objections to the
resolution:
1. The question as to whether or
not government control will bring
about cheaper rates for telephone
and telegraph service. Postmaster
General Burleson told the commit
tee that he believed the improve
