and widows School teachers and
professors Business men and

-. Telephone subscribers and those
who are waiting for telephone service
-. Telephone company employees -.
The people who will put up the money
for the Bell Systems two billion
dollar expansion program, of which
ours is part.
The same sort of people as the $780,
600 who have invested their savings
in the stock Of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
They're small investors. The aver
age number of shares held by each
of them is 20. More than half of them
have held their stock for 10 years or
more. Not a one of them holds as
much as one-half of one percent of
the total stock.
There you have the answer to where
the moneys coming from.
BUT WHY?
Because people have faith in the fu-
ture of the telephone business, in it's
integrity and progressiveness, in its
stability, and it's ability to continue
to safeguard their savings and to earn
enough to give them reasonable
return on the money they invest.

Gen. Morgan Expected
To Fly From Reich
ToIondon Today
Ry the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. Sit. Gen. Sir
Frederick Morgan, asked by UNRRA
to resign as head of the organiza-
tion in Germany, presumably will
be deprived of his authority and
dropped from the payroll If he per-
sists in his refusal to quit, q spokes-
man for the relief agency said
today.
Gen. Morgan, under fire for ex-
pressing belief at Frankfurt news
conference that 4 secret Jewish or
ganization was responsible for the
mass exodus of Jews from Poland,
has been instructed to return to
London. An UNRRA public rela-
tions said, however, that reports
that Gen. Morgan already had been
dismissed were exaggerated.
Gen. Morgan said yesterday that
he saw no reason why he should re-
sign.
UNRRA regional headquarters
said Gen. Morgan was expected to
fy from Germany to London "as
StOll NO tllC WCdtlACA 10 ClCdi CllVu6A,
probably tomorrow or Monday"
Gen. Morgan's deputy. Brig. VIII
liam Arthur Macdonald Stawell,
will succeed to the post temporarily,
the spokesman said.
The War Once said Gen. Morgan,
who served as deputy chief of
staff to Gen. Eisenhower during the
war, had been made available" to
UNRRA, but is still on the Army's
active list and is eligible to return
to duty.
In Frankfurt, Gen. Joseph T. Nc
Narney, American commander in
the European Theater, asked to
comment on the controversy, re-
piled that Gen. Morgan is an hon.
est, conscientious and efficient ad-
ministrator and he will be extremely
hard to replace" He said he did
not care to comment further, be-
cause the matter was the sole re-
sponsibility of UNRRA.

to Reuters service"
Mr.. Chancellor: IT do not know of
one single case of any newspaper in
any country In the world being in
nuenced to subscribe to Reuters in
the way suggested by DR.. McMahon,
and submit that DR.. MacMahon
has not one shred of factual evid-
ence whereon he bases his generali-
zatiOn ."
DR.. MacMahon: "As to Reuters.
1t is denied that this agency receives
any government subsidy" A footnote
quotes Guy Ray. second secretary at
the American Embassy in Mexico
City as saying, in September, 1914
that the editor Of the newspaper El
Universal told him of signing a con-
tract with Reuters at q price so
cheap that he could not decline the
offer"
Australian Minister Quoted.
Mr.. Chancellor: No editor was In
on the negotiations. The price was
$618 q month.
1t. MacMahon: Quoted Nelson T.
Johnson, American Minister to Aus
tralia, as writing in October, 1914,
that American news received in
Australia goes first to London and
is thence transmitted throughout
the Empire conditioned by such pro-
cesSes Of selection and manipula- =
ton aS the British news agencies
such as Reuters give it."
Mr.. Chancellor: Quoted: A tele-
gram from r.. A. Henderson, chair
man OF the Australian Associated
Press, saying Mr.. Johnson's state
ment was demonstrably false so far
As Australia and New Zealand were
concerned. The telegram said the
Australian Associated Press SUBJ
scribes to the Associated Press Of
America, that Reuters have never
covered American news for the Aus
tralian newspapers, and these pa
pers never have drawn their Amer
ican news through London.
DR.. Mcmahon: Cited q letter from
Aauncion, Paraguay, In November,
1914, saying There is reason to be-
lieve that the Reuters News Service
which is allegedly sold to one local
newspaper, is, in fact, being given
to that newspaper free Of charge"
Beirut Report Cited.
. Mr.. Chancellor: Reuters allows
the newspaper Ell Pals to take down
an abbreviated service sent from Rio
de Janeiro without paying for it.
In return, the paper acts as Reuters
correspondent in Paraguay for which
Reuters makes no payment.
DR.. Mcmahon: Mentions an owl
report from its representative in

2. Identification OF the auspices
Of the material issued by them.
Differentiation Urged.
DIR. MacMahon urged q differ
entiation between the standard of
conduct that should be prescribed
for privately owned and govern
mental information agencies.
Otherwise broadly drawn guar
antee, assuming 1t were obtainable,
might confer on governments novel
and unwise extraterritorial privi-
leges," he said.
DIR. MacMahon said there are
limits to the pressure" which the
United States could afford to ap-
ply to foreign countries in seeking
drastic agreements for literally un-
restricted as well as equal access
to information and the right of
publication"
He proposed that both govern
mental and private agencies be
allowed substantially the same
access to information and trans
mission facilities" Z
Other Steps Suggested. -
Other steps which DR.. MacMahon
suggested rs likely ito help news
gathering" were:
/. Elimination of censorship Of
outgoing dispatches.
4. No barring, molesting or in
timidating" Of correspondents.
;. Abolition of discrimination as
to rate, priorities and other aspects
Of communication service"
DR.. MacMahon did not comment
specifically on suggestions by Ameri-
can newspaper leaders that CORES
pondents be granted special inter-
national immunity as protection
against interference with their work.
He commented. however, that such
an immunity, If granted, should
not be contingent on the existence
Of diplomatic relations. ut might
be precisely at the time when dip
plomatic relations between the two
countries had been severed that con-
facts through the press should be
maintained"

ters publicly with British propa-
ganda activity" He quoted tele-
gram from Reuters manager for
Palestine, Syria and Lebanon which
said Reuters Beirut Office was closed
December 81, 1945. because it had

Mr.. Chancellor said this was a
cast iron example of the fact that

parently sneered at by DR.. Mac
Mahon-that news must be paid for
