Phone Installations
Climb Far Ahead
Of Last Year
Seven-Month Additions
Are Triple Those of
Same 1938 Period
Special Dispatch to The Star,
NEW YORK, Aug. 30— New tele
phone installations so fftr this year
are triple those made in the corre- j
sponding period of 1938. according ,
to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. This high rate of gain
will hardly continue, however, as
comparisons will soon be with j
months of rising activity last year, i
Nevertheless satisfactory progress
is expected, and expansion in op
erating revenues will be more than
large enough to absorb higher wages
and tax costs. Relative freedom
from near-term political pressure
removes the barrier to stock market
reflection of income gains.
"During the first seven months of
the year the Bell System added
382.000 new phones, three times as 1
many as in the same months of
1938,” states the analysts. “The
months of June and July made the
best comparison, wdth increases re
ported this year as against losses
in 1938.
"American Telephone A: Tele
graph's net income may well reach
the highest point since 1930. Tire
system expects its investment in
plants and improvements to be the
largest in eight years, kesulting
increased efficiency will be helpful.
Additional benefit to net income
will result if expected refinancing
of high coupon bonds and high
dividend stocks of subsidiaries nia
j terialize.
"Equally as encouraging as the
prospective rise in earnings is the ;
sympathetic attitude of a large body :
of Congressmen toward the prob
lems of the telephone industry.
This attitude was clearly expressed
when the House Appropriations
Committee refused to vote the F.
C. C. funds which that commission
had held were necessary for a 'com
prehensive program of regulation.
Factors responsible for this senti
ment in Congress are both eco
nomic and political. In the first
place there is widespread opinion,
even among politicians, that the
Bell System is efficiently operated.
Secondly, the number of employes 1
and stockholders involved makes a
large voting body. Add to these the
arbitrary methods of Commissioner
Walker in his investigation, of which
Congress has been made fully
aware, and it becomes difficult to I
visualize any seriously detrimental
legislation at the next session.”

Virginia Farm Radios
Show Big Increase
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 30.—The
Virginia Co-operative Crop Report
ing Service said yesterday 72 per
cent of its correspondents have ra-"
dios, compared with 18 per cent in
1927.
In its annual compilation of Vir
ginia farm statistics, the service said
a larger percentage of crop reporters
have radios than all farmers, because
the 1930 census showed radios on
only 7.1 per cent of farms, while 35
per cent of crop reporters owned
radios last year.
The Joint Committee on Radio
Research reported that on Jan
uary 1, 1938, 56 per cent of all rural
families in Virginia had radios,
whereas 70 per cent of the crop cor
respondents reported radios that
year.

Foreign Exchange
NEW YORK, Aug. 30 uPV—The pound
sterling continued to Improve in foreign
exchange dealings today
The currency was quoted nearly 30
cents above the low of $4.12. reached soon
after the stabilization fund last week
temporarily ceased support and was 2%
cents better than yesterday's close
Bankers said transactions were the near
est to normal thus far in the week, noting
that commercial users of the currency
were again appearing in the market.
Evidence there was still considerable
nervousness over the outcome of the Dan
zig impasse, despite the more conciliatory
note apparent in foreign dispatches, was
seen in often wide disparity between bid
and asked prices.
News that Poland was calling more men
to the colors, one foreign exchange trader
said, caused immediate downward revisions
in several leading rates. The guilder, for
instance, sensitive as usual to political
news, dropped to a net loss on the day
of .16 of a cent In terms of the dollar
The French franc advanced .00% of a
cent, the belga gained .07 of a cent while
the Swiss franc was unchanged.
Canadian dollars rose .62% of a cent,
but money dealers said the rate was nom
inal.
