Walter Clifford Says Report
Sent Congress Presents
"Much That Is Not True"
And Prepared with Same
Unfairness" That Has
Characterized Inquiry

Washington, April 1-(AP)-Fed-
eral CommuricsJ i0ns Commissioner
Paul Walker, informed Congress to-
dav that the Bell Telephone Company
could reduce its rates % percent by
eliminating unnecessarily high COSTS
These costs, Walker said in a pro-
posed report on the telephone inves-
tigation directed by the commission,
result from manufacturing, engineer
ing. depreciation, bookkeeping and
other policies for which the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company il
responsible.
walter Clifford, president of the A.
T. g. T., said in a statement released
simultaneously with the report that
if a summary available to him cor
rectly reflects the report, it presents
much that is simply not true AMI
had been prepared with the same un
fairness that characterizes the inves-
tigation proceedings.
Clifford, asserting that a full copy
of the report had not been furnished
him, declared that Bell System earn
ings have never been excessive, and
that a suggestion that rates might be
reduced 25 percent by changing po-
licies and practices of the system was
absurd"
The A. T. & T., Walker said, has
complete control of the Bell system.
and the latter includes 80 percent or
more of the telephone industry. Walk
er recommended that the Federal Com
munications Commission be given
jurisdiction to review, approve or
disapprove all Bell System policies and
practices promulgated by the central
management group of the American
company"
Chairman Frank McNinch said
Walkers findings did not constitute
a commission report, but was sub
mtted to the commission as the basis
for full report which the commits
sion will submit to Congress.
Pending delivery of the full COM
mission report to the Capitol, Walk
ers findings were submitted to the
Senate committee and the House In

Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the F.

basis of judgment as to the ability of
the obligor or debtor to repay the OBJ

And some people wonder why bust
ness is confused and uncertain! In this
case the banker is in the dilemma of
being told by Mr.. Jones that if he does
not liberalize his judgment on loans
the government will go into competi-
ton with him-while Mr.. Crowley tells
him that if he does and any of his
loans go sour he will be held to strict
accountability.
But, of course, the most significant
aspect of this whole business was the
disclosure that the private bank in
Houston, Texas, which Mr.. Jones con-
trolls, has been more than usually eau
tious in its loan policy. Banker Jones,
it seems, does not entertain the same
