The merchant cruiser then slipped
through the British blockade and
landed her prisoners In occupied

long-Disfance Rates
OLA. 7. & 7. Will Be
Reduced "a Pct.
New Schedules Effective
July 10 to Sove Public
$4,000, 900 Annually
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

ny WILLIAM j. WdEA1LEI.
The American Telephone a. Tele-
graph Co. has agreed to a reduc-
ton in its long distance telephone
rates of approximately IA per cent,
an estimated saving to the public
of s14,000,000 annually, the Federal
Communications Commission an
nounced today.
In addition to the percentage
reduction in initial rates, and in
cost for time beyond the initial
period of a call, the new schedules,
which go into effect July 10, will
eliminate the report charge" on
uncompleted person-to-person and
reversed charge calls.
Of the reductions proposed, the
commission said $12,500,0OO will ap-
ply to long line rates of the A. r.
& T. and STATS 900 to reduced in
terstate rates of the 21 associated
companies in the Bell system.
The suggestion of a negotiated rate
reduction was originally presented
to the commission by Walter S. Gif-
ford, president of A. T. & T, follow
ing the commissions order of April
l directing the company to show
cause why its Longtime rates should
not be reduced, and a subsequent
order directing that formal hearings
begin next week.
Time Inopportune for Quiz.
The company suggested that be-
cause OF its efforts to expand its
services as part of the national de-
Tense program, the time was inop-
perfume for long drawn out public
investigation.
1t also was pointed out to the
commission that a pattern for sep
aratlon OF costs and charges be.
tween the various companies
should be established before the
system could present accurate fig-
ures on operating costs. AS a re-
suit the commission announced it
would continue studies pertinent
to the rate base and the cost of
furnishing telephone service. Other
related subjects, including methods
OF separation, depreciation, prac-
tices, rate of return, original cost
and Western Electric prices will
also be studied.
The commission announced it ex-
pected A. T. & T. to assume all
reductions in revenue brought about
by reductions in interstate sched-
ules IN which Long Lines Is a par
tlclpating carrier and that arrange
ments should be made with asso-
