Further Action Uncertain
On Telephone Rate Rise

Further action by the Federal
Communications /. Commission in
connection with the increased
charges for interzone telephone calls
being made by the Chesapeake a.
Potomac Telephone Co. was in doubt
today.
The question of FEC jurisdiction
was discussed at a conference yes
terday, attended by company on
cials and representatives OF the
commission and District, Maryland
and Virginia regulatory agencies
No decision was announced.
An FEC spokesman said today no
further conference had been sched-
uled.
The commission originally ordered
the company to suspend the new
rates pending FEC study and later
scheduled a public hearing. The
hearing was held in abeyance, when
the company questioned the FCC's
jurisdiction. The firm argued the
State agencies which granted the
increases after public hearings had
authority to do so independently OF
the FEC.
