SYKESIg Chairman of New Commi** sion Should Find His Job aft Easy One By CHARLES P. STEWART (Central Press Staff Writer) Washington, July 18. — Investigation of the country’s telephone and tele graph system ought to be a simple matter for Chairman Eugene O. Sykes of the new Federal communications commission, after the experience he has had in radio regulation— which al so is included, as part of his present job. There is a tangibility about wire communication that doesn’t go with communication by radio. Phones aDnd the national telegraph ic net work, by good rights, should be owned and operated, in my opinion* by the government, under the post master generals jurisdiction— as they are in every civilized /country the world over except this. Such a sug gestion sounds radical here, I’m aware, but it isn’t so considered anywhere else. We’ve been deliberately educat ed to think that It is; that’s all. Manifestly telephony and telegraphy are as much public services as the transmission of letters oy malt. Still, a telephone or a telegraph line, or a combination of the two of them, is a bit of actual material property for the management of which it la possible to prescribe rules with a cer tain amount of consistency and under standability.
