Government ownership urged for telephone and telegraph lines
Washington reports Postmaster General Burleson urges immediate government ownership of all telephones and telegraphs after the war. He cites war experience proving ownership sound and practical and calls for congressional action to place these networks under the postal system for public service rather than profit. The annual post office figures show a large surplus, expanded air and rural delivery plans, and proposed new facilities to boost efficiency.
