TELEGRAPH co.
 MERGER URGED

Continued from Page D | well settled trend, and there Is no indication of improvement under ex- isting conditions.
 "There Is every indication that un. sound management policies have contributed to existing unfavorahle conditions. Probably the most iIi- portant factors contributing to present conditions are the develop. nlent of competing forms Of com. munication, such as long-distance telephone and air mail, and destruc. tiv ecompetition with the industry for the remaining diminishing vol- tune Of telegraph business,
 "some of the more important causes underlying this situation are: (A) Decline of telegraph as most important intercity communications service; (B) Leased private lines of Bell system and, other competitive services; (C) attempts to retain or recover business, and (p) Duplica. ton of facilities"
 It said that 1t would Do possible to superimpose the entire telegraph trafiie Of the two companies upon existing facilities of telephone com- panies, but cautioned congress that "such Q radical change in national legislative policy with respect to monopoly aB c public servant would Do fraught with serious corSe. guences."
 "etrenuous efforts by the two companies to prevent diversion of telegraph business to other forms of communication through c Teduc- ton in rates" the commission said, have proven to Do intellectual.
 'The available capacity, including substantial duplication Of facilities, cannot be effectively or profitably utilized with the trafiie available under existing circumstances" All groups affected in the present situation, the employees, the creds itoFs and the stockholders, are faced with the problem of adopting the course which Is designed to reduce the maximum benefits or cause the least losses" the commission said,
 "This eommission," 1t added, "ls under Q duty to consider the inter- eets of the telegraph using public and. the needs of national defense as well as tho groups mentioned,
 "rhe fewer separate and distinct communication enterprises there are in operation, tho more readily they can function as part of the national defense system when occasion arises"
 It expressed belief that eonsoli- dalton, If properly safeguarded, would maintain for the telegraph public the benefits inherent in com. petition in the communication field and result in the rehabilitation of on industry which ct present offers little security for It's employees"

Tgacklng snow on Saturday found South Britain huntsmen on the trail 0l fox and deer. motorists slipping around out of control. and the kids breaking out their sleds. Whenever snow comes to the Pomperaug coun- fly, everybody in South Britain
 thinks of Ira Hawkins and the fox hunts that he used to stage. Mir. Hawkins ran the trapshop. He never heard of mass production or efn- ciency, but he made the best traps on earth and won Q place in the hearts of men. Fox hunting was Q sort of religion with Ira Hawkins, just as religion is Q burning prob- lem with Quakers, Sandemanians and Baptists. Foxes were enshrined in glory when Mfr. Hawkins sighted down the barrel of Q l2.gauge double and touched of the trigger. Sometimes Ira wouldn't shoot at all, but would just lower that gun and laugh at the old buck fox as he took distance. He got more fun out of fox hunting than just the fur. Hawkins passed on his love for the chase to all his employees, too, If a man wanted time of, during fox hunting time, all he had to do was Co tell the boss where he was going But that was before the days of snass production and eficiency in manufacturing.

 There is c vast difference, he said, between keeping out of war and pretending that this war is none of our business, explaining that with- out going to war we can, at least, strive with other nations to eneours age the right kind of peace.
