American Phones
A Real Bargain

To earn the money TO pay for a
home telephone, a man in Stock
holm has to work half again as
many hours as a citizen of the
United States. A Londoner must
work twice as long and Partisan
five times as long as we do, to pay
for his telephone service.
These figures might not be true
to the very last penny as you read
this. due TO the changing times, but
they do go to show that telephone
service is one of the best ba. gains
in the American family budget. In
general, the cost Of a telephone
here is the lowest in the world.
compared with the money q man
gets on pay day.
Furthermore. service here has
broader reach. Many more people
friends, relatives or customers
can be called: many more can eaIl
you. Your telephone in America is
high In value--low in cost.

LOCAL OPERATORS

Whenever you make q long dis

dial service, you may be using
the services of an amazing new
development called operator toll
dialing.

long distance calls is being made

numbers without going through
other operators.
You are familiar, if you make
long distance calls, with the regu-
lar manner in which your call is
handled. You get the long distance
operator first. You tell her where
you want to call, say Chicago. She
then calls a routing operator to
determine the best route. If it is
direct, she is then connected with
a Chicago operator, who connects
her with the telephone she is call
ing. If the direct circuit is busy,
she may be routed through num-
Der of operators along the way.
Under the new method, IL she
is calling Atlanta, Chicago or any
of q number of other major cities

first dial an appropriate code
number followed by. the telephone
number she is seeking. Almost
Immediately The distant telephone

equipment automatically selects
other routes until an open one
is found.
According to Key West manager,
C. A. Cold, the telephone customer
can help to make this more rapid
system effective by keeping a re-
cord of numbers frequently called
and by providing the number to an
operator when placing call.
An even more startling develop
ment is now being tested by the
Bell System. This will enable tele-
phone users to dial direct "any-
where in the United States" A
countrywide numbering plan plays
a key role In the new system.

Big Three Conference
Ends, Leaving Talks on

BY the Associated Press

| LONDON, June 28.-The three
western foreign ministers today
concluded their round of confer
enceS which left the question of q
four-power conference on all
German elections in the laps OF
the Russians.
i Western diplomats were divedeo
on whether Russia would accept
their strictly limited offer to talk
about free elections.
I None of the Western Big Three
believed the conference, if held
would bring any result.
French See Hard Shedding.
But it was decided to make the
offer so as to smooth the path of
ratification when the Paris pact,
putting Western Germans in
European Army uniforms, and the
Bonn Peace contract with the
Western allies come up in the
French and West German parlia-
mentS.
The French in particular felt
the treaties would have hard sled
ding unless they could point out
that one more effort had been
made to agree with the Russians
on the preliminary steps to re-
uniting Germany.
The Western diplomats were
acutely aware Of the danger that
a wide-open conference on Ger
many would turn into a propa-
ganda marathon. One such mara
thon in Paris last year lasted Is
weeks, with the four-poWer dep
uty foreign ministers unable to
agree even on an agenda.
Inclined to Wait and See.
During such talks few nations
in Western Europe would go ahead
with ratification.

everyone to say. Let's wait and

That is why. an informed source

TOKYO, June 28.-Japanese
Communists, tipping their hand in
recent riots, now are. known to
number approximately 100000 but
their influence appears to be on
the downgrade.
Their leaders have stayed in
the background, but rank and
file Reds have come out in droves
since the Japanese peace treaty
became effective April %. That
was just what Prime Minister
Shigeru Yoshida wanted.
| The government learned that in
addition to the Communist Party
members there are about 400, 900
Ipro-Red Koreans in Japan.
That is less than one per cent
of the population, but a trouble
some one per cent.
Communist Ranks Swell.
The police have chosen to meet
the Communists on a common
ground of bone crushing, fist
swinging tactics. 1t has paid off.
In 1945, when the Pacific war
ended, there were 10000 known
Communists in Japan. In occu-
pied Japan that number swelled
to around 100000. Gen. Mac
Arthur cracked the whip and they
went underground.
When Gen. Matthew B. Ridg-
way took over they still were si-
lent. Their number was not known
accurately, even by Allied intell-
Iigence-the same intelligence of
f1cerS who insisted that the Chi
nese Reds would not enter the
Korean war late in 1850.
After the peace treaty, the
Reds, hoping to jar loose a lot of
things, came out fighting. But
their best efforts only produced a
minority which got cuffed about
by the small but able Japanese
police force.
