eleven months of linotype work
and eight complete proof-readings.
The directories were frozen" last
January 4th so that the final page
proofs could go to the printer with
the listings Of all number changes
and new numbers up to that date.
Substantially increased in size,
the new directories have 996 pages
in the blue-covered alphabetic
volume and 852 in the yellow class
flied book, as compared with $40
alphabetical and SIG classified
pages in the present directories.
Combined, the two new volumes
weigh five pounds and nine ounces,
with the classified section slightly
the heavier.

Two Simple Actions Puts Your
Phone In New Number Readiness:
New Books Ready For March a Use

ing plan is completely in effect,
this is how it will operate:
On a keyboard especially de-
signed for the purpose Cleveland
long distance operator punches a
code of three digits, such as SOB,
which takes the call to the zone Of
the called party.
Next she presses the buttons
for another three-digit code, which
takes her into the central office
which serves the called subscrib-
er. Then all that is left to do is
to press the numbered buttons
which correspond to the digits in
the called subscribers telephone
number.
Actually, the process does not
recognize towns-only zones and
central office and in that case
the town and the central office
are one and the same.
The maximum number of dig
it's for which the operator must
punch keys is eleven. The first
three digits take the call to the
zone, the next three to the CEN
trail office and the next four to
the line of the called subscriber.
The eleventh digit is required if
the called person is on a party
! line.
In addition to Cleveland, direct
dialing by long distance operators
is now in operation in many parts
of the country in a modified form
and will continue on that basis
until the uniform nationwide
numbering plan is in full opera
ton.
The other reason for the 100000
number changes in the Cleveland
metropolitan area is due to the
community's unprecedented tele-
phone growth, which requires the
addition of another digit to those
already in use. The five-digit num-
bering system is in effect in New
York, Philadelphia and other large
metropolitan areas.
Delivery of the new directory
will be the elimination of the most
complete and extensive telephone
directory planning job in Cleve-
lands history, a task which re-
quired about year, according to
Mr.. Wiles.
The magnitude of the directory
delivery, the most extensive in
Cleveland's history, is indicated Icy
the fact that it required 143 trucks
to bring the nearly $4,000 copies
into Cleveland from the printer in
Chicago.
More than year ago the Ohio
Bell directory department started
a revision of the Cleveland alpha
betical and classified directories
made necessary by the coming
March 4th number changes. Each
of the more than half-million list
ings was checked four times before
the material went to the printer tc
insure complete accuracy.

The 100000 number changes in
the new Cleveland telephone direc-
tory which $500 distributors are
in the process Of delivering in
the Cleveland metropolitan area
are necessitated by two different
Developments uniform nation
wide numbering system and Great
er Cleveland's extensive telephone
development.
The two volumes Of the direc-
tory, the blue-covered alphabetical
book and the yellow classified sec
ton, each have at the bottom of
the front covers q notification to
subscribers in large red letters
that the directory is not to be used
until after midnight Saturday,
March 4, when the new five digit
numbers will become effective.
"There are only two actions
required on the part of the SUBJ
scribers when the new numbers
become effective" said Mr.. Wiles.
Zone is to destroy the old direc-
tory and put the new one in its
place. The company does not in
tend to have the old books picked
up. The other action is to remove
from the telephone the yellow
mask over the number plate, thus
revealing the new number under
meath"
After the directory delivery is
finished the company will tele-
phone about 100000 subscribers
to verify delivery, so that some
subscribers on every distributors
route will be contacted.
The uniform numbering sys-
tenn is now in it's early stages of
being extended throughout the
country, according to D. B. Wiles,
division commercial manager for
The Ohio Bell Telephone Company.
at is a necessary part of the
Bell System plan for nationwide
dialing of long distance calls by
the operator straight through to
the called party in the distant
community without the assistance
of intervening operators. This
method is already in effect be-
tween Cleveland and many other
points"
AS to Cleveland's telephone de-
velopment, Mr.. Wiles said it is
reaching a point where the pres
ent numbering system of a two
letter prefix and four digits will
become inadequate to handle the
increased number of telephones
and volume of calls and must be
replaced by a two-letter and five
digit system.
In the uniform numbering plan,
93 zones are set up, including nine
in Canada and four in Ohio. Of the
48 states, each of 81 will be served
w it's own numbering plan zone,
/ Il by two or more zones and three
will be incorporated in contiguous
areas of adjacent states. The four
zones in Ohio will have Cleveland
Columbus, Toledo and Dayton as
their central points.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
East Clevelanders should be
thankful for their municipal Judge,
Stanton Adams. Time and again
he let's people know that East
Cleveland is city Of law abiding
people who want their town kept
clean and neat. His handling of the
malicious destruction Of street
signs by college men, who by age
and intelligence should use better
judgment, is just the signal for
any others who get fool notions,
to carry them out elsewhere. East
Cleveland wants none of it. Con-
gratulations to Judge Adams, an
East Clevelander.

~ the Assoeiotsd Prsss

Senator Malone. Republican. OF
Nevada said today that the State
Department has deliberately
selected" American industry "as
the victim in the cold war"
With the connivance Of our

up the shipment Of their products
to our markets" Senator Malone
said in a statement. He added:
This is called closing the dol
lar gap The real. but undiSclosed
purpose Of our State Department
is to open up the American mar
ket on a free trade basis to the
products OF the world ."
Such action, he said. will resul,
in complete elimination Of the
floor under wages and investments
in this country"
Senator Malone said:
If those in our State Depart
ment who devised these plans are
on the side Of Americans they are
simply stupid. If, on the
other hand. they are on the side
Of the Reds. they are extremely
