One Phone Company For Johnstown Soon
One phone company for Johnstown would form a single network by linking the Pennsylvania Telephone Corporation and the Bell Company. The Bell Company would keep its central office and toll lines including the Bedford-Ligonier cable and Altoona-Ligonie cable, with laterals to South Fork and Johnstown, plus Johnstown-Indiana toll lines and teletypewriter gear. Officials note current Johnstown subscribers cannot reach Bell service, and the merger aims to end costly competition and enable all subscribers to communicate across the combined system.

Margiotti weighs recall to speed Mona ghan case
Margiotti announced a personal inquiry into Mona ghan's death on September 12. He says the hotel man was barbarously and brutally beaten to death while questioned about a separate stabbing. State troopers and county detectives have been charged with murder by the coroner. Recalling the grand jury could bring the case into the November session. Margiotti conferred with county judges and with former county prosecutor Wade K. Newell, who may become special prosecutor. A Bertillon room inquiry, blood-stain tests, and possible further arrests are noted amid claims of desperate efforts to wash away evidence.
