HIGHER PHONE RATES ASKED IN 46 STATES By the Amociated Press NEM YORK, Dec. 2- Higher telephone bills are in the works for millions of Americans. many of whom already have had their rates increased. The American Telephone and Telegraph Co. says its Bell System subsidiares have applications pend- ing in 29 states for $240,000,000 a year in rate inncreases to cover their own higher cost of doing bus- iness. These are in addition to $140,000,- 000 a year in rate boosts already granted since the war in the first general increase in more than 20 years. Up 14 Per Cent Already Reduced to percentages, com- pany officials term the increases very low in comparison with their own increased costs and with the higher prices of other things the customer buys. They estimate the increases al- ready in effect at 14 per cent of the total telephone bill of customers for local service and toll calls with- in their state. The percentage would be even smaller, they de- clare, if inter-state long distance service-which hasn't gone up- were included, If the pending applications should be granted in full, they add, the post-war increase would then aver- age about 22 per cent- or if long distance service is included, about 17 per cent. Increases now have been granted or applied for in 46 states. The exceptions, Nevada and Delaware. probably will be added to the roll call soon, » Among recent applications where no increases previously had been asked are those in New York for $49,00,000 or 14 per cent and Penn- sylvania for $25,000,000 or 18 per cent. Recent applicatious for additional increases include $34,000,000 or 16 per cent in Ilinois and $35,000,000 or 13 per cent in California, Rate boosts have also been asked in the past few weeks for Maryland, West Virginia and Washington state. More Applications Seen A. T. and T. spokesmen say still more applications will be made by companies whose »rates bave not yet been adjusted to meet present cost: levels, : Services Warned To Show Dividend And Save Rating WASHINGTON, Dec. 2- Senator McKellar (D-Tenn) advised the armed services today their financial rating with the new Congress may rest on whether they can show a unification savings dividend. member, said in a separate interview that he favors a \liberal appropria- tion for the armed services.\ He did not indicate how \liberal but he recalled that just prior to World War II Congress was sharply criticized for holding down the size and funds of the armed forces. \We won't have time to build them up if war comes again,\ Thomas said, Opposed By Tydings T Opposition to boosting Mr. Tru- man's defense fund ceiling was voicedlast week by Senator Tydings (D-Md) who said the taxpayers \must survive.\ He is a member of the Appropriations group and is slated to become chairman of the Armed Services committee.

The vast (struggle for China's heart surged into a sector only 100 miles from the capital as the gov- ernment admitted the virtual fall of the great FaW and arms center of Suchow, farther north. Won't Quit Capital Some 400,000 of the government's finest remaining troops were trap- ped and fighting desperately to es- cape from two Communist pockets- ons immediatély below Suchow and the other in the Subsien-Kuchen are.., closer to Nanking. (In North China, meanwhile, the Communists were reported in a Reu- ters dispatch to have thrown three new armies into a fresh offensive aimed at the inner Mongolian Cap- ital of Kalgan, northwest of Peip- tng.) Despite the increasing peril to Nanking, the Chinese government informed, all foreign envoys it does not intend to guit the capital.

Congress Brown, a member of the 12-man commission on organization of the executive. branch of the govern- ment, told the 53rd annual Con- gress of American Industry spon- sored by the National Association of Manufacturers: ''Without divulging too much in- formation as to what the commis- sion will recommend, let me sug- gest that you keep your eyes open for some interesting developments in our greatest federal service ag- ency- the post office department.\ N. A.M. estimated that nearly 3,000 of the nation's top industrialists and businessmen are attending the three-day session, which ends to- morrow night with a speech by Secretary of Commerce Sawyer. Sawyer hinted in Washington Tuesday he might disclose some details of the anti-inflation pro- gram President Truman will give to Congress in January. ' Former President Herbert Hoover heads the government organization commission that was set up by Congress. It was Congress's intent, Brown said, to promote economy, efficiency and improved services in the execu- tive branch of the government by: 1. Limiting expenditures. 2. Eliming duplication and overlapping of s ces. 3. Consolidating services, activities and functions of a similar nature. 4. Abolishing unnecessary services, activities and functions. 5. Defining and limiting execu- tive functions, services and activi- ties. ''We have found many peculiar governmental situations,\ Brown said. \For instance, there are over 42,000 postmasters throughout the United States who report directly to.the postmaster general in Wash- ington rather than any regional or state supervisor, Barkeeps Seek New Work Week By Intefmationa) News Service NEW YOR.

Seventy miles southeast of Suchow, an estimated 150,000 government troops of Gen. Huang Wei's 12th army group were trapped between Kuchen and Suhsien.

HUSE INS Staff Correspendent PARIS, Dec. 2- Israel warned today that it may not cooperate with the United Nations if Anglo-American proposal s that it yield either part of the Negev or Western Galiley are adopted. The warning was issued by Israeli foreign minister Moshe Shertok to the U.: N. Political committee as Israeli hopes of becoming the 59th U. N. member state faced seeming defeat in the Security Council. Shertok told the political com- mittee that the British-sponsored, U. S.-backed resolution would com- pel Israel to accept an unsatisfact- ory settlement. He declared: But all four states were believed to be backing the US.-supported Brit- ish resolution calling on Ismae! to yield either conquered territory, or \Israe! would find it difficult to) some of the land allotted it under cooperate.\ Five Votes In Sight Shertok spoke as Israel faced de- the Partition Pian.
