Walker of the federal communications commission said teL ephone rates in the United States could be reduced 35 per cent without reducing the net earnings of the Bell system. His report was forwarded to congress by the FCC, which later will make recommendations. Walker charged W. S. Gifford that unnecessarily high costs of telephone service have resulted from depreciation policies of the Bell system and other practices involving the cost of manufacturing telephone apparatus and equipment, standardization policies, license contract payments, and of plant revenues and expenses. The report drew a sharp retort from Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephom and Telegraph company. Gifford described the investigation of the big telephone system as one sided from start to finish, and added: If the summary of it correctly reflects the report.
