The American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., is finding out
if it didn't know already-that
some people resent change.
Despite a careful program to
get the public educated ahead
Of time, a switch to all-num-
ber calling is drawing fire in
letters-to-the-editor columns
cartoons and other media.
In Washington, chief city OF
yak as far as telephones go
(83.1 phones per 400 people,
highest ratio in the world, a
quick way to get an argument
at a dinner party is to men,

berS.
In defense of the change. the
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Company's public rela.
tions department points to a
survey of customers made last
September. Only a small pro-
portion grumbled about the all
number system, spokesmen
said.
Whether the rublic COM
plains or not, apparently the
change is inevitable. When
C&P Tel began in 1878 in
Washington, the number of
subscribers was so modest that
only one and two-digit num-
bers were needed. (You got the
White House with No. /, and
the Star with No. 27.)
Numbers Stretch
But the growing population
has been making the numbers
stretch out. It's estimated
there are IT'S million United
States telephones BY 1870 ac-
cording to AT&T board chair
man Frederick r. Kappel, the
Nation will run out of telephone
numbers, using the present ex-
change names.
There are now $40 usable ex-
change names plus some 200
potential area codes. "This is
not nearly enough for the
years ahead" according to Mr..
Kappel. Some letter combina-
tions won't make a word
