DUT Luis did not hear. Bundles
~ of money continued TO fly over
the wall and thump-loud as

around. frantically kicking the
bundles under every object in his
office.
Just as he booted the last one

Then the yops gaze another
turn of the serew Of their Viss.
They pushed Luis entirely out
Of the camp grounds, closing
his office. And they broke up
our food smuggling system.
Luis moved his office to the gym
building. We used the gymnasium
itself as quarters for 800 OF our
elderly men. But the gym was
cut off from the part of the build
ing where Luis set up his new
Office, and he was compelled to
use a separate entrance which
gave him no access to us.
TyHEY couldn't beat Luis that
l. easily. He decided his new Of
fee needed remodeling. When he
finished. heavy drapes covered
one wall. Behind the drapes was
a hole one foot square, camou-
fiaged with wallboard panel. On
the gymnasium side of the hole
was Just above the cot of FIR. DAILY,
an interned Catholic priest.
That hole was our lifeline to the
very end-and was one Of our best
kept secrets.
II was hard, in those hungry
days, to have to keep such things
secret from the others-eSpecially
because almost all, the $500
Americans, the 1000 British and
300 Of other nationalities. were
such courageous and patient peo-
pie.

7HE .DOB AHEAD

OA
The news that made August IA never-to-
be-forgotten date in history has been fol-
lowed by glorious days of rejoicing and
thanksgiving.
Now, as we enter the long-awaited era of
peace, we face new tasks, new response
bilities-neaV opportunities. Immediately
ahead is the job of swift reconversion to
civilian production.
Your Telephone Company has its reconver-
sion problem, too. For Michigan Bell has
been on war footing through all the A
months since Pearl Harbor. The needs of
war took over the raw materials and man.
ufacturing facilities which normally would
have allowed us to expand. At the same
time, the armed forces and war industry
required a vastly increased use of the
telephone.
Under those circumstances, there was just
one thing for Michigan Bell to do-take
care Of war needs and essential civilian
needs first All of them were met But in
many instances we were unable to provide
telephone service to others who asked for it.
The patience and understanding Of the
public throughout the war has served as a
constant encouragement TO our 1000
employees and has helped them maintain a
traditionally friendly and courteous service
under trying circumstances. We are CRATE
full for the tolerance of those who have had
to do without telephone, or have had
service from us that was not as good as
we wanted it to be-
Now we mean to remedy conditions just as
fast as we can. We are tackling the job
with all we have.
Even in the dark days when victory seemed
far away, Michigan Bell engineers were
busy designing postwar program. Their
plans call for spending $780, 100000 for
expansion and improvement in the next
five years-to provide all needed service
to catch up With normal growth and assure
safe margins for future development-to
utilize scientific improvements-to extend
the rural telephone system.
The program will include the erection in
Michigan of 46 new buildings and major
additions to present buildings the purchase
and installation of $50,OOO,OOO worth of
switchboards and other central office
equipment, the placing of long distance
cable containing $4,000 miles of wire, and
local cable containing 212 million miles of
wire-enough wire to encircle the earth a
hundred times.
We recognize as our first obligation the
supplying of service to 125,000 Michigan
'.
Detroit evening times., 1945-08-21

families whose orders have been held up
because of war. But this part of the job,
too, will take time.
Bell Systems Western Electric Company
manufacturers of vital communications
equipment for both Army and Navy,
makers of 100000 military telephone sets
for war use, biggest producer of radar
systems-is already reconverting its huge
factories to the production of civilian tele-
phone equipment to speed relief of the
serious telephone shortage.
Nearly half of the waiting applicants can
be served as soon as enough telephone
instruments roll off the production line
a matter Of months. But telephones are
only part of the need. To fill the other
orders, cable must be produced placed and
spliced; complex central office equipment
must be engineered, manufactured and
installed in telephone buildings. Much of
this manufacturing and installation in
wolves hand-soldered onnections-millions
of them-and it must be done in close
quarters where only one or two men can
work at time. It's long, slow process
Many of the projects in our postwar pro-
gram are already engineered and the equip
ment ordered. The job is started. 1t will be
accelerated as rapidly as manufacturing
facilities, materials and trained men be-
come available.
We already are hiring and training mex
perienced men and we hope to have back
with us soon our $500 experienced employ
ees still in the armed forces. The expansion
program will mean jobs ultimately for
about 1000 new workers in addition to our
own returning veterans. Thousands Of
other workers employed by contractors and
suppliers will also benefit from Michigan
Bells program.
While the work will be pushed forward
with as little delay as possible, we still must
ask your cooperation and your patience.
The magnitude of the manufacturing and
installation job is such that many of those
now waiting will not have telephone service
for long time. 1t may take as much as
two years before telephones can be installed
generally without delay.
We intend to keep the public advised as to
the progress we are making, not only in
meeting immediate needs but in moving
toward our long-range detectives. And with
every confidence we look forward to the
day when we again can provide good tele-
phone service whenever and wherever it is
wanted.
