Telephone Company
Outlines Program
CONTINUED from first page)

However, he pointed out, even
after this tremendous installation
job, telephone waiting lists in Della
ware are only 2,125 lower than they
were on VI Day. This is because
OF the tremendous demand for new
service.
1--WE have been able to take 1850
names off the top of the waiting
list, but we have had to add 6,925 at
the bottom" he said. Needless to
say, the waiting list is our largest
present problem and there can be
no relaxation of our efforts to give
telephone. service to everyone de-
string it just as promptly as pOssi-
BILE.
Central office equipment, both
manual and dial, will continue to
be the greatest bottleneck for some
months to come" he said, in eX-
planning the necessity for telephone
waiting lists. "The Western Elec-
trio Company, supply unit of the
Bell System, has done a magnifi-
cent reconversion job and has man
ufactured and delivered hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of tele-
phone equipment. However, they
have been seriously handicapped by
continued shortages of copper,
lead, steel, lumber and virtually all
the basic raw materials needed for
telephone facilities.
Throughout Delaware we have
made many additions to equipment
in central offices and we have in
stalled thousands of miles of wire
in exchange cable since the end of
war. This has been a tremendous
job, but it is only the beginning"
Despite the tremendous volume
of business handled during and
after the war. Mr.. Freehafer said
that Bell System earnings were
subnormal in the war years and
from 1912 to 1945 averaged only 5 !
cents on each dollar invested in the
business.

broken down the traditional walls of isola.
ZIONIST secrecy that hid from public view the
Shame of the States that stalked the wards

tation for improvement in institutional psy.
chiatry, recently laid it on the line to a large
assembly of asylum superintendents at the
American Hospital Assn. convention in Phil.

turc of the vicious cycle inherent in the usual
reaction of public officials to published revc-
lations of bad conditions in public institu-

cycle, DR.. Fremont-Smith observed:
A denial of the charges. .,
Then an insistencc that the evils have
been exaggerated Gas they usually are when
an expose becomes necessary.
Finally, when the facts can no longer be
denied, it is blandly asserted that these un.
happy conditions have long existed and are
well-known to everyonc-so ''why all the

Questions and Answers
On Servicemen's
Problems
By DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON Veterans puz-
zled about some of their rights
have sent in the following ques-
tons:
OF they pass the bill emitting
all soldiers to a bonus, will the
veterans who bought homes under
the CT Bill of Rights miss out on
it?

ting worse, and I can't work all
Of the time. Can I get my pension
increased?

flee of the Veterans Admins
tration and apply for an increased
pension.
Q-Since eligibility + r muster
ing-out pay is based upon a maxi
mum pay level of about $4,000 per

Ain the limited public discus
sion of a bonus for World War II

mentioned, so far as the best in
formation available reveals.
Off a soldiers body is brought

A-The government will pay you
money for subsistence while you
are taking your apprentice train
ing, if the program is approved
by the state. See your nearest
Veterans Administration contact
officer.
O. served in the Canadian
Army during the war, but I am

PRESIDENT SIGNS
HOBBS LABOR ACT
Truntes Acts Over Objec-
tions-Uf Union Leaders:
Bars Interference

WASHINGTON, July 8. -(P-
Overriding union objections, Presi-
dent Truman Wednesday signed
the Hobbs bill-the first labor law
enacted in his administration.
1t makes it unlawful for union
lists, in common with anyone else,
to interfere, with interstate COM
merce by extortion O. robbery.
No Interference
The President and Attorney Gen
eral Clark issued assurances that
it cannot be construed to interfere
with strikes, picketing or other
legitimate union activities. The con-
tention that it could be SO con-
strued formed the chief objection
of the ALL, the CLIO and individual
unions and labor officials who have
fought it for more than three years.
The act, by Representative Hobbs
D.-Ala.), constitutes an amend
ment of the 1943 anti-racketeering
act. The Supreme court had ruled
in 1912, in a case involving the AL
Transfers union, that the act as il
stood could not be applied to al
legged %extortion committed by union
members.
Agrees With Detectives
A provision to subject unions to
the act, along the lines of the Hobbs
bill, was embodied in the Case la
Dor disputes measure. In vetoing
that bill June IL, Mr.. Truman
wrote that he is Sin full accord
with the objectives' of the section
but it failed to safeguard legitimate
union activities.
The Senate subsequently passed
the separate Hobbs bill, which the
House earlier had approved, anc
the, President declared that this
meets his previous objections. Mr.
Truman explained his action in g
message to Congress.
Does Not Interfere
"The attorney general advise:
me-" it said, 'that the present bill
does not in any way interfere witt
the rights of unions in carrying gu
their legitimate detectives. HI
bases this conclusion upon the
language of the bill, as a separate
measure, and upon the Legislative
history. -
