FEC Asked 10 Grant
Phone Rate Boosts
For Long Distance
BY the Associated Press

The Bell Telephone companies
yesterday filed with the Federal
Communications Commission re-
vised long-distance telephone
rates which would increase by
about 8 per cent the present
$3.50 million annual revenues
from interstate long distance
service.
No changes were proposed in
the basic three-minute initial
period daytime rates.
October 1 Would Be Date.
The companies proposed in
creases, however, in most of the
initial three-minute period night
and Sunday telephone rates and
in all overtime charges.
The rates filed will become
effective October / unless they
are suspended by the FEC pend
ing a hearing.
The revised rates plan calls
for increases of cents in the
charge for each one-minute over
time period on station-to-stati
and perSon-to-person interstate
calls involving most distances
above "a miles. Increases of 5
to 10 cents are provided in the
initial three-minute period rates
for night and Sunday calls in
Volvlng most distances between
Al and 1900 miles.
The Bell system companies
told the FEC earnings from
interstate services had been
decreasing for the last several
years and are now at critically
low level. The increased reve-
nues and net earnings would
help provide prompt relief
which is urgently needed" they
said in justification of the rates.
First Since 1919.
Interstate operating results
from the 12-month period ended
June 80 this year indicated a
return of 4.83 per cent on claimed
net investment, the companies
stated. 1t was estimated that
had the proposed new rates been
in effect during that year the
return on net investment would
have been about is per cent
more.
The American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. said in a state
ment that aside from a few
minor up and down adjustments,
this is the first increase in long
distance telephone rates since
1919"

Mr.. Reuther. in a telegram to

Services Committees. declared:
"It has been confirmed that
the Maryland National Guard
has made available to the Ches-
apeake & Potomac Telephone
Co., some 800 cots and blankets
for the aid and comfort of

Mr.. Reuther questioned the
right and authority" of the
National Guard to place its
facilities and equipment at the
disposal of the company.
He asked an immediate in
veStigation, adding that "the
Maryland incident suggests that
the National Guard is reverting
to it's former status as the armed
servant of tight-fisted en-
ployers."
MIR. Beirne demanded, in a

Wilson. that the military officers
responsible "be disciplined"

Senator Mccarthy, Mr.. Cole said
he believed the GPO loyalty
board, which cleared Mr.. Roths-
child in 1949, acted to the best
of its ability with the informa-
ton it had at the time.
Later, when Senator Mccarthy
asked the new public printer if
he thought the clearing of Mr..
Rothschild was evidence of "the
most dismal incompetence" Mr..
Blattenberger replied:
I'm afraid I have to agree
with you"
Mr.. Cole, on the other hand,
insisted a great deal of informa-
tion is now available on the
RothSchild case that was not
available to the loyalty board
four years ago. Senator Nc
Carthy challenged that state
ment and said the only differ
ence was the loyalty board did
not call all the witnesses.

Senators 10 Choose
Big City in Probe Of
Juvenile Delinquency
By the Associated pr.,.

Chairman HendrickSon said
today a Senate Judiciary sub
committee will probably start its
Nationwide investigation of
juvenile delinquency with hear
ings in some big city, but is not
overlooking small town prob
lens.
Senator Hendrickson said in
an interview he expects the
committee, voted $44, 900 by the
Senate to finance its operations,
to launch public hearings about
November l into all phases Of
juvenile delinquency.
I'VE intend to cover every-
thing from the operation of mar
cotic rings. which sell their
wares to high school students,
to the baby adoption racket,
which has grown out of juvenile
delinquency" the New Jersey
Senator said.
\ Sees Law Changes.
Senator Hendrickson said he
expects some concrete recon-
mendations for law changes to
come out of the inquiry.
AS an example, he said it had
been called to his attention that
in many communities, including
the District of Columbia, youths
could order liquor delivered by
telephone although they could
not buy it in stores.
That's the kind of thing we
ought to put a stop to-" he said.
Senator Hendrickson said the
subcommittee already is being
flooded with offers of cooper
alton from civic and religious
groups.
Small Towns, Too.
"These offers come from every
State and indicate the wide
spread interest in efforts to solve
the juvenile delinquency prob
lem" Senator Hendrickson said.
ITO my surprise we have been
asked to investigate conditions
in small towns, as well as the
big cities.
Juvenile delinquency doesn't
appear to be confined to any
particular area or to any par
ticular size of city"
Senator Hendrickson said the
committee probably will select
for it's opening inquiry one of
the larger cities where staff
members believe conditions are
particularly bad.
The New Jersey Senator said
FBI records show 1873 per cent
of IL million arrests reported
from cities with more than u.s.

Treasury 10 Offer
Higher Interest in
Securities EXCHANGE
By the Assoeiated Press

The Treasury is again offering
investors inducements to lend
the Government their money on
long terms.
It announced yesterday that
holders of a 10-year, 2 per cent
Treasury bond maturing Sep
tember Is may exchange it
either for a 1-year certificate
paying 25s per cent or a 3h-
year Treasury note paying ga.
The 27s per cent rate is the
highest ever offered for Treas
ury notes.
Cash Available.
Holders of the maturing bonds
may also get cash if they want it.
The maturing issue was put
out originally during the third
World War II loan drive. 1t was
sold then to non-hank investors.
1t was later reopened in a $1,250,-
100000 refunding of a maturing
issue and at the same time
banks were allowed to buy the
bond. Present ownership, ac-
cordlng to Treasury records, is
about the following:
$3,730,000.OO held by CONNER
cial banks.
$850,000,000 held by the Fed
eral Reserve System.
$3,400, ,000, 900 held by corpora
ton and other non-bank in
veStorS.
Opens September 2.
The Treasury announcement
said subscription books will open
Wednesday, September 2. The
announcement did not say how
long the exchange would remain
open.
Regardless of the extent to
which the bonds are exchanged
or presented for cash, the
Treasury's debt limit situation
will not be altered much. What
ever amount of the maturing
bonds is cashed will reduce the
debt. now within So billion of
the legal debt limit of $275 bill
lion. But the Treasury would
probably have to borrow new
money to make up the amount
paid out, so within a short time
the debt would be about as it
was before the exchange.
