No Formally Attends Turnback.-
Mackay Will Again Hold Place
From Which He Was Removed

Washington, May 3.-American cable
lines taken over by the government In
November We're restored to private
ownership and operation at midnight
last night by direction Of President
Wilson. The turnback was without
formality. since Director Newcomb
Carlton. president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, has been
directing head of the cable service by
appointment of the postmaster gem
eral.
Beginning today, however, Clarence
H. Mackay, president of the CONNER
cial Cable company will resume his
former duties with that company. Mr.
Mackay was removed by the postmas-
ter general because of his refusal to
cooperate in government efforts to
unity all transatlantic service.
The postmaster general has given
ont a statement saying he would rec
ommend that the telegraph and tele-
phone service be returned to private
ownership, contingent, however, upon
financial protection to be obtained
from congress.
Postoffice department officials who
have ;fided in control of telegraph and
telephone companies have said that
few of the companies could weather
the financial storm If the properties
were turned back without remedial
legislation. Some officials said that
while the properties must be returned
in the same physical condition in
which they were taken over to do this
low. without added revenue to meet
wage demands and increased cost of
operation, would wreck the industry.
