American Association have an
nounced they no longer win
seek q major league berth and
will get entirely out Of baseball
If q satisfactory purchaser OF
their properties comes forward.
Rebuffed in their efforts to

Fort Worth issued the following
statement yesterday:
I've are so disappointed over
recent events that left our area
out Of National and American
League expansion we have de-
cided no good purpose will be
served by continuing our efforts.
We still believe this is the finest
big league territory outside OF
the major leagues, as they were
constituted during the 1860 sea-
son, and will give our enthusi-
astic blessings and support to
anyone who comes in to reap Its

franchise for one season. in a
directive to produce teams on

Los Angeles for 1861 or face
congressional action.

to do something about It as
chairman Of the House Judici-
ary Committee which handles
legislation concerning profess

Frick said. II think they have
quite q problem, but if they
can do it. God bless them"
Frick cautioned both leagues
to function in the future on a
basis Of mutual understanding
and trust.
Baseball can't afford not to
let its right hand know what
its left hand is doing" Frick
said. That can only lead to
serious trouble. Fellows start

status of our country as we begin
the decade of the COS. Economic
development and expansion con-
sistent with the requirements of
our dynamic free enterprise sys-
tenn must be vigorously encouraged.
In this connection it is to be hoped
that labOr-management disputes
and especially those which affect
our basic industries will be avoid
ed or settled promptly when they
do arise. Certainly the impact of
work stoppages on both labor and
management and their long-range
effects create difficulties and ad-
versity seldom if ever completely
removed. 1t is likely that Congress
will examine this issue in the
months ahead just as it will such
other problems as agriculture and
the nations financial status.
Predictions at the start of a new
year are an old tradition, but / am
not sure a wise one to follow.
Rather, it seems more sensible and
prudent to express the hope that
both the legislative and executive
branches of our Federal Govern
ment, despite the increasing pol
itical pressures sure to arise as
the weeks go by, will exercise the
highest possible motives in reach
ing decisions which affect the in
terests of the nation as a whole.
And so as we look to our own
people and our responsibilities to
them as their elected representa-
tives, we must also keep in mind
that leadership of the free world
clearly vested in our hands can
not be allowed to vacillate nor
weaken for should that occur grave
consequences may quickly result.
We face the dual obligations of
promoting strong and effective
policies in matters of both domes-
tic and foreign concern.
AS in the past, 1 shall earnestly
welcome the continued expressions
of interest and guidance with which
the people of Delaware during
these last eleven years have so
generously favored me, and 1
shall look forward with great an
ticipation to a continuation of our
mutually pleasant association dur

Diamond State Files
Revised Tariffs

The Diamond State Telephone
Company Monday (January a filed
with the Delaware Public Service
Commission revised tariffs to be-
come effective February 7 provid-
ing for the adoption of a new and
more accurate method of milage
measurement for toll message tele-
phone service, teletypewriter ex-
change service and inter-exchange
channels within Delaware.
Rates for these services will re-
main unchanged and charges for
regular exchange services in the
state will not be affected by the
revisions.
The new milage measurement
method, known as the VII System
because it uses vertical and hori-
zontal coordinates developed math-
ematically from the latitude and
longitude of rate centers, replaces
the less accurate and less efficient
method of using maps which are
subject to distortion and are un-
satisfactory from the viewpoints of
maintenance and administration.
Adoption of the new VII System
is part of rate decrease package
for interstate service announced by
the Federal Communications Com
mission last July after discussion
with the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
A reduction in interstate rates
went into effect on September 10
and, since that time, Delaware GUS
toners who call interstate points
for which rates were reduced have
been billed at the lower rates.
The Bell System companies also
filed revised tariffs with the Fed
eral Communications Commission
today providing for the new milage
measurement method to be effect
i've for interstate services on and
after February z, 1860.
Villages measured on the new
VII basis will in most cases be the
same as before, but in some cases
will be shorter and in other cases
longer than previously.
The resulting alterations will
cause some changes in the charges
for services on certain routes. Most
charges will remain the same, some
will be lower and some will be
higher. No change in message
charge. however, will be more than
five cents.

S. S. Pensioners
Please Take Notice

Persons receiving social security
benefits can save themselves a great
deal of inconvenience if they report
promptly when they change their
address, according to Stewart J
Thomas, manager of the Helena So
cial Security Office.
Our country is on the move; the
latest figures show that one out OF
every five families will relocate at
some time each year. Many of these
are folks who are getting social Sc
curity benefits.
If you are getting benefits, you
can assure prompt delivery of your
monthly checks by reporting a change
of address as soon as you move. Pre-
addressed postcard forms are furn-
ished to each social security appli-
cant. This card may be completed to
make the change. If you have mis-
placed the card, a signed note or a
postcard to the nearest social secur-
ity office, showing your name, social
security number and your new adj
dress will do. You may, of course,
call at any social security office and
fill out a change of address form if
it is more convenient. Telephone calls
will not do for changing an address.
The Social Security Administra-
ton is only interested in addresses
of those who are getting benefits
so if you are not getting monthly
checks, do not send a notice of change
of address.
On all correspondence to the Social
Security Administration, your social
security number should be shown. The

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
LELAND Odds, So, former chairman
of the Federal Power Commission
whose strong views on public utilities
and their adequate regulation made
him highly controversial person dur
ing the past several years, died al
Washington Clinic here last Wednes-
day after heart attack.
A longtime supporter of public
power and rural electrification, and
one of the first persons in this coun-
try to advocate giant power grid
system, Odds leaves a long record of
dedicated public service and battles
fought in the peoples interest.
He was born in Rochester, N. Y, in
1890, and was graduated from Am
herst College in 1912. Olds did post
graduate work at Harvard and Co
lumbia.
In 1918 he became statistician for
the Shipbuilding Labor Adjustment
Board, and later examiner in charge
of the administration of awards for
the War Labor Board.
He also served in the Army during
World War I, and later became active
in the early days of labor union
growth.
Odds became assistant to the chair
man of the New York State Power
Authority in 1881, and was later
named executive secretary of that
agency. In 1889, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt appointed him to the
Federal Power Commission. He served
as chairman of that body from 1910
until 1914, and from 1916 until his
second appointment expired in 1949.
While with the FPC, Olds became
the object of violent attacks by the
powerful utility interests because of
his efforts to see that these organi-
cations were properly regulated.
When President Truman renomi-
mated Odds to the FPC in 1949, the
powerful natural gas and commercial
power Hobbies went to work. During
hearings on the nomination, President
Harry Truman said, "Mr. Olds is
nationally recognized champion of eff
ective utility regulation he has
abored diligently in the service of
ii the people and has earnestly
ought to protect the public against
he narrow interests of special
roups."

If the American labor movement
were more Madison Avenue oriented
they could spend at least one-fourth

have done for this country by way
of the annual vacation provisions IN
labor contracts.
In fact if they put their minds to
it they could extend their propaganda
efforts to goodly time before and

The immediate gain in pleasure and

time is of Unreasonable human value,
but the side effects in terms of the
economy are staggering when you
start enumerating them.

High Wages and Exports

WASHINGTON = (AFL-CIO) -
Big businessmen say high wages pre-
vent them from expanding their over
seas markets. That argument has just
been dynamited by DR.. Laurence
Dowd of the University of Michigan,
director of the Michigan Business
Executives Research Conference.
Dowd points out that while Michigan
has the highest average wage rate in
the u. S., it originates the largest
volume of exports. In an article pre-
pared for the Journal of Marketing,
he notes that some of the largest ex-
porters are the highest-wage indus
tries, such as coal, tires and tubes,
and metal working machines.
