JUSTIFIES WIRE SEIZURE
BY CONDUCT OF THE
POSTAL COMP ANY
Assistant Postmaster General Tells
House Committee Government
Business Was Switched and Not
Expedited in Time of Stress.

Washington, June ,5.--The conduct
of the Postal Telegraph Company in
handling government business at
Washington in the trying period of
war was enough to justify the taking
over of telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS, Assistant Postmaster General
ICONS told the House interstate COM
merce committee today at hearing
which closed just before issuance Of
orders by the Postmaster General re
'ineuishing operation of the wire
properties. Mr. Rooms made no men
ton at the hearing of the intention
Of the Postmaster General to turn
back the wires for private operation.
Mr.. Rooms declared that if other
wire companies had adopted the same
policy as the Postal it would have
strangled the government in the con-
dut of the war.
Might Have Stranged Government
81 do not know what was in the
mind of the President or what facts
were before him." Mr. Rooms said,
Eat the time the properties were tax
IN over. But the country was en-
gagged in war and because of some
facts recently come to us as the re-
suit Of an investigation by post
office inspector, the actions, in my
opinion of the Postal Telegraph Com
1any alone in handling government
business out of the capital city and
at other places in the United States
at crucial period through which this
country was passing, have justified
the taking over. of these properties.
Had other companies or the other wire
systems assumed the same attitude
.oward the government business and
handled it in the same way / think
would have absolutely strangled the
-cvernment in its conduct of the war.
Dodged Government Business
Mr.. Rooms charged that the Postal
wooded government business, made
special effort to handle it, and
transferred to the Western Union
'arge numbers of government mes
ages filed with it for delivery in
ties at which it maintained offices.
Information upon which the charges
were based, he said, was obtained by
inspectors from the records of the
company. There was no evidence,
however, to show intentional delay
by the Postal, he said.

TO PULL NATION OUT OF MUD.
National Highway Council Proposes
Wise Expenditure Of Millions.

Chicago. April lo-The whole
country is going TO be pulled out of
the mud during the reconstruction
days If plans laid down Tuesday by
the federal highway council, launched
at the Congress hotel. are carried TO
Irritation.
The new organization, which il to
act in an advisory capacity TO civic
and government bodies in all states
OF the union starts with the indorse-
ment of representatives of $40 agen-
cies which have been urging the build
ing of hard roads.
The first concerted drive to arouse
the country to the proper pitch viii be
the backing of the Townsend bill now
pending in congress. II provides for
an appropriation OF $425. 000, 600 for
national highways. This sum. If set
aside by the national lawmakers, is to
supplement the state and local bodies
which have been working on a scheme
Of coordination that will link the whole
nation in big highway building drive.
The Townsend bill appropriation
alone would build two sets of high
ways in every state in the union in ad-
dition to the construction work now in
progress under state and municipal SUI
pervision. BY hooking up all these
efforts and working to a general plan
the hackers of the new council believe
that the United States. in a very few
years, would have the best highways
system in the world
OF almost as great Importance AS the
highways themselves just at this peri
cd would be the opportunity afforded
to more than 30. 900 workers of the ma
tional plan alone, The scope of the
undertaking would afford positions for
this many employees for a period Of
several years, and would add that
much to the general scheme of supply
! ing employment to returning soldiers
and sailors, and thus help to relieve
the pressure on the labor market.
A nation wide propaganda will be
launched at once and then the council

Detzler holds a captains commits

bushmen prefer human flesh above all
other kinds. When an Australian

Detzler was overlooked.
