Telephones for All Senator Rankin's Aim
Canberra Oct 22 Senator Anna Belle Rankin in her maiden speech urged the Postmaster General to provide telephones in every home at a nominal annual cost and to introduce a family and social letter mail class at minimum price. She argued the postal service could fund this without greatly affecting profits and noted women, now 3 percent of the population, should have access as a right to save time and worry.

Commonwealth to centralize fleet for non pleasure use
Melbourne Ort reports the Commonwealth will run departmental cars from a central transport pool to curb pleasure motoring. Initiated by Prime Minister J. B. Chifley, the pool will oversee hundreds of cars across states within the Munitions department. Senior officials may lose regular car use as the move aims to cut costs in running, garaging and maintenance through a jobbing service, a weekly car and driver hire, or driverless weekly hire in select cases.
