A Florida car bearing a screaming
child was being hunted by Montgom-
cry County police today on the theory
that the child might be the kid
naped "Skeegie" Cash, abducted S.
year-old son of James B. Cash, Prince
ton, Fla. business man.
Police said Mrs. Kidwell of Cabin
John saw the machine, a tan Ford
parked on Wilson lane, near Cabin
John this morning and said that the
driver was attempting to push a
screaming child down in the seat, out
of sight. The child was sitting be-
tween the driver and another man.
When Mrs. Kidwell stopped her car
IN an effort to get the license number
of the car occupied by the two men
and child, police said, the driver threw
the machine INTO gear and sped away
in the direction of Bethesda. Mrs.
Kidwell. however, did manage to as
certain that the car bore Florida tags.
Montgomery County police radio
cars were Immediately assigned to
search the area, but failed to locate
any immediate trace of the machine.
Mrs. Kidwell, police stated, could
describe the driver of the car only
as a tall, thin man."
G-Men Dubious.
Notified of the suspicious car seen
in Montgomery County, officials at
headquarters of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation dispatched agents to
make an inquiry. 1t was indicated,
however, that the bureau had little
hope of connecting this car, if found,
with the Cash kidnapping.
1t was pointed out it was highly
improbable the kidnaper would drive
North without first removing Florida
license tags from his car.

Sary Of tae found ng Of the states first
telephone exchange and the issuance Of
lis first telephone directory, both of
which occurred in Detroit in the early
fall of 1878
Sixty years ago there were less than
lOC telephones in the state, all of Them
in Detroit: there~were only a few hun
dred in the entire world, all of them
in this country.
Today, there are nearly $3.50 in the
WyandOtte exchange, alone. Michigan
today is served by three-quarters of a
million telephones. of which the Michi-
gan Bell Telephone Company operates
66O.OOO in 2j2 towns and cities. The
lines Of the Michigan Bell and of the
Bell system make available to every
local telephone. connections with 35,-
100000 others in 20 countries.
Here, as at Detroit, the first tele-
phones were thought of, perhaps, much

years agO-an interesting experiment.
Therefore, at f-rst, telephone service

Activities of the company were con-

construction of private telephone lines
rather than exchanges. The two or
three telephones on one line could not
be connected with those on another.
Single iron wires that extended over
the roofs, or were attached to trees,
were used. Messenger boys were EN-
plOyed as operators. but in 1880 were
replaced by girls because of the latters'
greater patience AMI general adapt
ability" And the first telephone direc-
tories contained no numbers, calls be-
ing placed by the names of the called
parties.
