the house National Labor Rela-
tions Board inquiry, indicated to
Attorney Genera) Robert H.
Jackson Wednesday that the
committee may seek to curb
lobbying by goverr.nantal ag-

Smith wrote Jackson after the
attorney general refused to give
an official opinion as to wheth-

on Texas telephones
Eneh day this Texas telephone man
flips keys and watches sensitive in-
dirntors as he searches far a clue to
)K>ssib1e trouble on Texas telephones.
He fully appreciates the wisdom of
a stitch in time in finding and fixing
troubles—or weak spots that might
result in trouble. That is one way we
safeguard your teleplione service in
Texas. And on: result is that despite
the increasing complexity of telephone
equipment, telephone customers re-
port troubles on their telephones only
half as often as they did 10 years ago.
A stitch in time saves nine. These
words in action contribute their full
share to the accuracy, dependability,
and low cost of your teleplione service..
