International News Service
The Federal Communications
Commission today opened hear
ings on the activities Of the A. T,
and T., and picked the Bell Tele'
phone System as the first corpora
ton to be heard.
Samuel Becker, commission
counsel, said the Bell System is
conducting its business through
more than 200 corporate forms,
that it enjoys a national monop.
oly'' in the field of telephone com.
munication, and is major factor
in many industries.
In addition, he said, to engaging
in the ordinary business Of furn'
ishing facilities for telephone
communication, it furnished pri'
vate wire communication, wre ser.
vices for the dissemination of
news, for transmission Of pictures,
for radio broadcasting, and soon
for 'televiSion.
Other Activities
Becker said it manufacturers
and sells telephone equipment,
equipment for producing and
showing motion pictures, for max
ing phonograph records, public
address systems, and various elec-
trical devices. He said:
"The Bell System engages in
activities that might not inap-
prOpriately be designated as in
vestment or private banking on
a not insignificant scale, in be-
half of persons and corporations
in which it claims no interest.
"Such a vast and varied
public enterprise requires
thorough study before effective
regulation is possible. 1t is mani
festly impossible, however, to ex.
anime, Oh present in detail all
the facts concerning its activi-
ties.
LIMIT INQUIRY
$50 we are compelled to limit
our inquiry by confining our &C.
tivitieS, at least for the PRESENT,
to some of the major problems
presented by the telephone and
by exploring these problems
fully, revealing the essential
facts in their proper perspective.
"A full and fair disclosure of
the affairs o. this public institu-
ton, which is the largest private
business enterprise in the world,
is the only approach to effective
and reasonable regulation of the
telephone industry by Federal
and State Commissions"
CLIFFORD CALLED
The first witness was Walter s.
Clifford, president of the A. T. &
T. lie testified the Bell company
owned 99.42 per cent of the stock
of the Western Electric Compay y.
He said the reason it had acquired
control of this company was to
control the technique of telephone
instrument manufacturing and
also to control the price of equip
ment so that 1t would be reason
able"
Clifford said his company was
giving teletype service to business
houses, Government department ,
banks, brokers, and the major
press associations.

NEW TIRE. ADDS SAFETY

1t is a well stated maxim that
automobile brakes stop the wheels
of the car, but the tires stop the
car, according to Mr.. Wilson Bal
ley, U. 8. Tire distributor. Mr.
Bailey explained his remark:
"In building . tire that will
provide the mental and physical
comfort so vital to complete mo-
tOring enjoyment, the tire en-
gineer must produce q tire that
will stop the car as fast as the
brakes stop the wheels and do It
on any one of the more than
"a different road surfaces COM
mon in the United States today,
whether they are wet or dry,
sandy or muddy, icy or snowy"
One of the most important
safety developments to be offered
motorists for some time has just
been announced by the United
States Tire and Rubber Company
their engineers having developed
the new tire ~. S. Royal Master" ."
Mr.. Bailey said
This new kind of antiSkid tire
stops q car in twO-thirdS
of the distance required
by ordinary antiSkid tires on
roads. Of the worst type. In
addition, this tire tremendously
reduces all side skid and Swerv-
ing when brakes are applied,
even in emergency stops. The
construction Is the embodiment
of an antiskid principle based
on the use of narrow, flexible
ribs, which are de-Skidded. The
