| Washington, June 6.---Unanimous decision to press legislation for repeal i of the wire control resolution despite Postmaster General Burleson's order returning the telegraph and telephone property to private operation was reached today by the Senate l. C. C. Chairman Cumn1ins announced that the bill would be called up in the Sen ate next week.
 After a further hearing, however, the committee amended the bill so as to continue existing telephone toll
 rates in effect for 90 days after the wires are turned back, instead of to days as originally proposed. MT Burleson today sent to Chair man Cummins letter declarng that his order yesterday had been miscon- strued: that he had not turned back
 the wires to private ownership, and plated. MT Burleson's letter follows: An order issued by me yesterday relative to the operation of the tele- graph and telephone systems has been construed by some as actual return of the properties to the owners No such
 action has been taken by me, nor is any contemplated.
 "This order simply dissolves the op- erating board appointed by me under date of December 13, 1918, and directs that the systems again be operated by
 the regular operating officials under government supervision. Responsibil- lity of the government to these sys- tems in no wise ceases. It being evil dent that these properties are to be re- turned in the very near future, it was necessary for the posmaster general to take steps immediately to set up the regular operating organization of the companies, so that when the prop critics are turned back it can be done
 without confusion or Interruption to
 the service which is the purpose of the order"
 Postmaster General Burleson's or
 der was attacked today by members of congress. some of whom charged
 that MT. Burleson had passed the
 buck" because of the threatened na-
 tion-wide strike by members of the Commercial Photographers union. Immediately after MT. Burleson's order was issued last night. S. J. 1 Konenkamp. president of the Tele-

Unusually Smart Fock-- Simble Lines
Blue Dotted Swiss, White
Net and Blue Ribbon Make
This Miss Frock.

A dress that will do what
any young Miss would like
to have a pretty summer
frock do, is offered in my
design today. 1t neither
commits itself for morning,
afternoon or evening wear,
though we would like to
favor the afternoon as more
gracious to receive its COM
pany. At luncheon, how
or country club, at after
ever. on Il city hotel plaza
noon tea where ever one
chooses. at an informal
dance or hotel roof in the
evening, it would make it,
self delightfully."- agreeable.
More simple lines for a
frock could scarcely be
imagined, but its effect is
obviously modish. This might
be credited to the very deep
collar, which shows indiVia-
uality not only in It's pro-
portions but in the way it
shapes its lower edge up to
a point on the left side. To
call attention to this feature
is a shall bow of ribbon
which tacks it to the main
portion of the bodice at this
point, while dropping the
most unreasonably long ends.
Though the wide crush belt
passes over them, they con-
,l,le undauntadly on till at
the lower edge of the tunic
they are caught up and re-
strained forever after. OF
dotted Swiss. white with
bright blue for the dots, this
frock would be adorable
with plain white net of fine
mesh for the deep collar and
overhanging band on the
lower skirt, and bright blue
MORE taffeta ribbon. Equal
ly pretty would be a bright
red dotted Swiss, or a white
dotted red Swiss combined
with white net or sheeres'
batiste, and red ribbon. Sci
dom is such a modish al
mosphere combined witt
such a naiVely gracetu
style.
