that the investigation will run

that the committee will report on

Berlin Communists
Lose Round Three in
Battle of Phones
BY the Asseeioted Press

BERLIN, April 12.-The Com
munists lost round three in the
battle of the telephones today.
Round one started weeks age
when the American radio RIAS
set up a system whereby any
subscriber could dial "23"-even
in the Soviet sector-and his tele-
phone was connected with West
ern news broadcast.
Soviet sector engineers blocked
of miles of lines, removed some
telephones entirely from circula-
ton and finally managed to break
the link.
RIAS and the West Berlin tele-
phone network then developed a
new number, "2-4000," which au-
tomatically pipes the broadcasts
into Communist territory. OFF,
cials said today the East sector
would just about have to shut off
all connections with West Berlin
to destroyed the effectiveness of
the new number. The only alter
native. they said, is for the East
to rearrange its entire network,
