INTERNATIONAL MERGER
CABLE &. RADIO SERVICES.
AMERICAN ADMIRAL’S TESTIMONY.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 6.
Rear-Admiral Hooper, appearing before a Senate Inter-State and Commerce Sub-Committee, which is considering legislation authorising a merger of domestic telegraph companies into one system and the consolidation of international communications into one system, urged that Congress should give the Navy Department veto power over any communications merger. He contended that the Federal Communications Committee had little knowledge of military requirements and the principles involved. Admiral Hooper disapproved the merging of international radio communications with cable companies, asserting that thereby Europeans Would once again Control radio, in addition to cables.
