BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY'S
ANSWER TO +. c. C., NOV. 10


Some of the highlights of the
Bell System answer to the Federal
Communications Commission which
on November 10, ordered the Am
erican Telephone and Telegraph
Company to show cause why long
distance rates should not be sub
stantially reduced, follow:
"A reduction of rates for long
distance toll service. would stimu-
late traffic at time when such
stimulation would be contrary to
public interest.
ANY stimulation of traffic . .
unless accompanied by correspond
ing increases in plant which are
now impossible, would result in
congestion and delay. This would
interfere with successful prosecu-
tion of the war"
"A reduction in rates which would
thereby stimulate the traffic to be
handled by the already heavily
burdened plant would be contrary
to the declared purposes of Con-
gress in creating the Federal Com
munications Commission. These
purposes were defined as being to
regulate interstate communications
service so as to make available, so
far as possible, to all the people
of the United States, a rapid, eff
cient, nationwide communications
service with adequate facilities,
and for the national defense. Under
existing conditions, stimulation of
traffic by rate reduction is con-
trary to the public interest. 1t
would impede essential war activ-
ity."
"In its order, the FEC charged
that the earnings of the Long Lines
Department of the A. T. and T.
Company were too high. To this
the A. T. and T. replied "by reason
of various causes, among them reg
ulations by federal agencies acting
to further the war effort, together
with increasing costs of operation,
including taxes, and rate reduc-
tions heretofore made, the earnings
of both the Bell System as whole
and of respondents Long Lines

Navs Story Of What Occurred at Pearl abo December 1874
Text of Con1munique

The tollotDing is the tert OF a release by the
Nduy Department telling the tuH story OF ,Dhat
happened at the time OF the sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor by japanese planes on December
OF last year.
On the morning of December 7, 1941, Japa-
nese aircraft temporarily disabled every battle
ship and most of the aircraft in the Hawaiian
area. Other naval vessels, both combatant and
auxiliary, were put out of action, and certain
shore facilities, especially at the naval air sta
tions, Ford Island and Kaneohe Bay, were
damaged. Most of these ships are now back
with the fleet. The aircraft were all replaced
within a few days and interference with facilities
was generally limited to a matter of hours.
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor
two surface ship task forces of the Pacific Fleet
were carrying out assigned missions at sea and
two such task forces were at their main base
following extensive operations at sea. Discount
ing small craft, 86 ships of the Pacific Fleet were
moored at Pearl Harbor. Included in this force
were eight battleships, seven cruisers, 20 de-
stroyers and five submarines No United States
aircraft carriers were present.
Eight Battleships Damaged.
AS result of the Japanese attack, five battle
ships, the Arizona Oklahoma, California, Nevada
and West Virginia; three destroyers, the Shaw,

1t is understandable that Mrs Shrady, who
has had 10 become her own breadwinner by
working in a department store might be a
little annoyed TO pick up a paper and turning
to the society columns, behold a picture of
her impoverished husband obviously enjoy
ing himself in lavish surroundings.
Mr.. Shrady's answer, in effect. is: Can 1
help IT If the best people keep inviting me
places?
Il do attend the opera on occasions" he
confesses, when social acquaintance who are
boxholders invite me there and this does occur
several times during the season, but assuredly
am in no position TO afford either the main
tenance of a box or the purchase of an in

Mr.. Shrady is undenaby popular but il
is not popularity alone that enables him TO
keep his right foot in Mayfair. while his left
is somewhere in Bohemia In a way he in
herited the ability from his father. who was
not only famous sculptor but also a socially
irreproachable lawyer
Moreover, his paternal aunt is the widow
of Edwin Gould, fabHleusl. wealthy son of
Jay Gould. That, of course, means connec-
tons, and connections are what hold MAYFAIR
together.
1t was when the pillars of the solid world
of dollars and cents were shaking from the
great stockmarket crash Of 1929 that Mr.
Shrady decided to give up all--or almost all
for Art, with a capital a. Before that he
had been compromising on the commercial
variety with weekly paycheck of SIS.
Inevitably his decision led him TO Paris.

The reader would do well at this point not
to forget about that man who had sent the

does not state, but the scene she credits him
with staging suggests that he might have

10 average, solid citizens, II seems
a strange one. not unlike the place where
Alice (of Alice in Wonderiand') found her
self after stepping through the looking glass
For in il everyday things are apt to appear
in reverse.
Money. for example instead of being held
in proper respect is openly sneered at and
even done without; a well-balanced palette is
more highly esteemed than a Unbalanced
diet, and all too often the home that bulwark
Of modern civilization. is looked on merely as
place 10 hang a canvas.
AS the son Of a famous sculptor, as well
as a painter Of some distinction in his own
right Frederick Shrady belongs to this topsy-
turvy world. But unlike most OF his artistic
brethren Mr. Shrady is also firmly established
in an altogether different sphere, that Of the
Social Register.
And the result. according TO the charges
and counter-charges filed in his wfes recent
suit for separation is sort of surrealist
double exposure.
on the artistic side he is typical Of many
young and struggling painters His COM
bination home and studio is on the top floor
Of New York loft building, which, he
says, ordinarily would be used for manu-
featuring purposes"
There used TO be fur factory under him.
but that moved out and now the only other
tenant is a carpenter Mr. Shrady has to walk
up three fights of stairs TO get to his quarters
And, once there, he says he cooks his own
meals, bathes in cold water tthe management
does not supply hot and since the building
is unheatedf used a kerosene stove TO keep
warm.
Thousands Of artists live in similar sur
roundings, and for the same reason, which he
explains as follows:
During the year 1910 gave art lessons
for he I2,tT fhot
must be deducted $40 which I spent for
models. materials etc which left me a ques-
tionable profit of S45 My weekly average
from my picture sales is SIS OF that 50 per
week must go for rent, gas and electricity
and this leaves me with a balance Of Sc a
week for food"
And he rounds out his shabby half Of the
picture with another touch, equally familiar
in artistic circles: that of the irate landlord
the dispossess notice and the judgment for
back rent, dangling like a sword of Damoees
over the ex-tenants head.
Mr.. Shrady says he has twice suffered the
humiliation Of being tossed out onto the streets
and that right now there are several people
waiting to collect $500 from him as soon as
he gets it.
However, while there are few painters to
whose eyes these details would not bring
reminiscent CLEAN, there are fewer still who
would understand the ones pertaining TO Mr.
Shradys Social Register side.
The latter naturally enough, are the de-
tails Mrs. Shrady stresses in her plea for
$1,000 counsel fees and $3.50 week almony
for the support Of herself and her son.
1t appears that after a cold bath and a
meagre meal of scrambled eggs, cooked over
the kerosene stove, Mr.. Shrady will change
into white tie and tails, climb down from his
garnet and attend the opera.
Or, perhaps, he will join a gay party of
cafe socialites for a round of night clubs, or
