NATIONWIDE DIRECT DISTANCE DIALING

On April Is, all telephones in these COM
munities will have new 7-numeral telephone
numbers. The new system is called All-Number
Calling (ANC), because no letters of the
alphabet are used-but only numbers.
ANC provides many more number COM
binations than the 2-letter, 5-numeral method.
So it helps telephone service keep pace with
the growing population For this reason it will
eventually be in use on the entire North
American continent.

ply: "Insincerity. People try

less of a person to say you

people who seem to be shin
ing at the time. I like for

I'll say Amen to that.
MRS. JACK LANAI AN,
young Washington hostess,
had a complaint about a very
current topic in the news in
reported attitudes of Ameri-
can foreign policy-makers.
MY pet peeve," said the
daughter of F. Scott Fitzger-
aid, "is all this talk of hard
and soft lines. 1t seems to
me that creating a foreign
policy is just like raising a
family, and that what works
today doesn't necessarily
work tomorrow. Sometimes a
lollipop is better than a
spanking and vice versa"
said Scottie, putting foreign
policy in general in about the

we could do it. They keep

outside of that, said
John Tower, he didn't have
a single peeve.
MRS. Angler BIDDLE
DUKE, wife of the Chief of
Protocol, was at no loss
whatsoever in naming her pet
peeve. 1.-THE telephone" said
the beauteous blond Robin.
II hate It! When 1t rings I
tighten UP and hope 1t isn't
for me. I can't stand it. I
think it's a hangover from
business. or perhaps it's re-
lated to something that hap
pened in my childhood"
In New York, she said, when
you telephoned you contract
ed whatever business you had
to do and then you said
goodby. But in Washington
there are a lot OF people who
talk interminably, go into
endless details, and talk
about what someone wore
last night, etc"
II write hundreds of notes
because I never call up q
hostess to thank her for a
party. It's easier to write, be-
cause the telephone is the pet
peeve of my life," said the
busy Mrs. Duke who hasn't
got any time to waste any
how, what with running a
household and q family and
taking in two to four Of
fetal parties daily.

who call up to sell you some
thing over the telephone

les: Would you like to buy
some face cream2" mo" she
says, my face is already

And Senator Fulbright's pet
peeve, said his wife, is to sit
next to a pretty woman and
have her ask him what he
thinks of scrapping the Sky
bolt or of RuSsia's interior
ence in Cuba. 1T spoils my
filet mignon," says the chair
man of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. i.
Alas! The female thinks she
must talk to a man about
