Basketball Star, Dies
By the Associufed Press

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 90
Howie Black, one of Temple Uni
versity's greatest basketball stars,
died last night at the age of 35.
Black, who was the big gun in
the Temple attack that led the
Owls to the 1888 national cham
pionship, had been i'll for long
time.
Perhaps his greatest court
achievement came on December
20, 1887, when Temple played
Stanford before sellout crowd at
Convention Hall.
Howie, opposed to the great
Hank Luisetti, held the Stanford
sharpshooter to five field goals
and a foul-11 points. One Of
Blacks five field goals put Temple
ahead in a 1881 upset over the
Coast quintet.
Black also was widely known as
a baseball player. He starred as
an infielder on the college team
and later played for Mobile, Ala. !;
Columbia, S. c., and Rochester,
N. Y, in the minors and at one
time was signed to a contract by
the st. Louis Cardinals.
He abandoned his baseball ca
reer after he entered the Navy
in 1943. $50

Long-Distance Rates
OF Telephone System
To Be investigated
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Federal Communications
Commission has ordered hearings
to determine II long distance tolls
of the Bell telephone system are
unjust and unreasonable and un-
duly burdensome on the public"
The FEC said earnings of the
Bell system companies are running
at more than 7 per cent and are
climbing.
The FEC directed yesterday that

graph Co.. and its % affiliates in
the United States file statement
with the FEC before March %.

pany of the Bell system.
May Order Interim Cut.
The commission said it will de-
eide, on the basis Of the response,
whether to order an interim cut
in long distance rates while it
carries out proposed general in
vestigation. It called for initial
hearings beginning here April %.
A. T. & T.'s vice president in
charge of long lines, H. T. Killings
worth. said in statement last
night:
1T is difficult to believe the
commission has taken such action
in the face of Bell system need
for greater revenue to meet in
creasing demands for communica-
tons service so vital to the de-
fense of the country"
Says Rates "Inadequate."
Mr.. Killingsworth said "long
lines rates have been inadequate
over long period of time" He
said increased use of lines since
the war in Korea brought about
some Improvement but not
enough to start a rate hearing
based on abnormal circum-
stances"
The FEC said that for the 10
months ended October 81, 1850,
the Bell system showed earnings
of 1872 per cent on the reported
net worth of telephone plant de-
voted to interstate and foreign

the systems earnings rate. after
taxes, was 6.08 per cent. The

Dr. Bennett Resigns As Chief of U. 5. sos;
 New Head Appointed

Chas. W. Wilson, Territorial Soil Conservationist announced this week that he has been noti- fled of the appointment of Dr. Robert M Salter, nationally prominent soil authority, as new Chief of the U. s. Soil Conserva- tion Service succeeding Dr. H. Fl. Bennett. who has headed the con- servation agency since its crea- tion by Congress in 1895.
 Dr. Salter, Wilson said, has been Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering since l942-a bureau within the Agricultural Research Administration of the Depart ment. He has been directly en- gagged in all aspects of soil con- servation for more than quarter of century and has spent most of his professional life working in the field of soil science.
 Wilson reports that Secretary of Agriculture Grammar praised Dr. Salter highly in announcing his appointment as successor to Bennett. "In his present posi- ton, Dr. Salter has demonstrated outstanding ability as an admin istrator of agricultural programs and devoted much effort to fo- cusing public attention on the de- clining trend in inherent soil pro- ductivity of the Nations farm lands," Brannan said.
 Before his appointment as >Chief of Bureau of Plant Indus try, Soils, and Agricultural En- gineering, Salter was head of the Division of Soil and Fertilizer h. vestigations within the Bureau. In 1940 he was Director of the North Carolina Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station. For 20 years preceding that he was in soils work at Ohio State University.
 Bennett To Be Adviser
 In announcing Dr. Salter' ap- pointment, Secretary Brannan also announced that Dr. Bennett was being asked to remain tenn porarily on the Secretary's per sonal staff as an adviser on con- servation matters, Wilson said. The Agriculture Secretary termed Dr. Bennett's wide and rich eX- perience" as a valuable asset to him and said Bennett's appoint ment as a special assistant to him was "the greatest honor he could bestow on a distinguished public servant rounding out 48 years of achievement for American farm ers-and farmers in other parts of the world which have had the benefit of Dr. Bennett's imagina- tive work with the most basic of all resources, the soil.'
 Tt will be a privilege, the Secretary commented, "to work even more closely with the man who awakened this country to the need for stopping depletion of our soil and pioneered in get ting us on the track of conserving our precious land for future gen. erations.
