a. m. has been set by the State
Public Service Commission as a
hearing date in the Delaware
Sports Service case
Attorney General Januar d.
BOve, Jr., and Diamond State
Telephone Company are seeking
an order for removal of telephones
on which Sports Service receives
and sends horse race results from
its Office at COL Tatnall Street. c
Wilmington. The state and the
telephone company contend the
service mainly benefits profession
al gamblers.
Henry A. Wise, Jr, attorney for
Sports Service, is expected to ar
que that removal of the phones
would be an unlawful interference
with interstate commerce and that
Sports Service has as much eright
to transmit race results as press
wire services and other media.
The PSC has ruled that it has
jurisdiction of the case, despite
the interstate nature of the busi-
ness, because of its power to reg
ulate telephone business
