 HAS NEW CHARGE

Washington, March 19-(UP)- Communications Commissioner Paul Walker today called upon the federal bureau of investigation, department of justice, to investigate what he termed the connection of the Aneri- can Telephone & Telegraph Go. with horse racing gambling interests.
 The communications commissions hearing now in progress into opera tions of the A. T. & T. revealed that the $6,000, 100000 corporation ob- tained $43,000 a month from horse race news services, which installed the companys teletype machines in pool rooms and bookmaking estab- lishments in hundreds of American cities.
 Walker said he had no authority except to call attention of the de- partment of justice to the situation, but that he considered the evidence warranted investigation.
 Walkers action marked the second time that the G-men had been called by the federal communica- tions commission to conduct an in- vestigation. Previously the FBI de- tectives had been asked to inquire into charges of alleged bribery re- ports and politics among the com missioners themselves. The bureau of investigation on that occasion gave the unnamed officials of the commission clean bil lof health.
