   Thanks to all for the answers to my question.
   Did not ITT own the Telex system of international 
communication via teleprinter?  ITT also eventually took 
over the MacKay companies which included several undersea 
cable companies.  I am not sure of the connection of MacKay 
with WU but I think they had control of it after the Postal 
Telegraph merger. I have somewhere a copy of an internal RCA 
report on international communications made shortly after 
WW-2. I will have to look to see who sent it to me.  Its 
surprising just how many cables were operating.  RCA was 
easily the largest player in the radio link business with 
some fifty circuits to other countries. Communication 
satellites changed all this and now fiber optic cables have 
changed it again.
