' . - Throughout the company's S3'stem, some 297,000 instru ments were added, for a total of more than 5,300,000. Mark R. Sullivan, president of the company, reported that each telephone in the system aver aged more than five calls a day, for a total during the year of more man b,Uuu,uuu,uuu calls handled by the company. Sullivan's annual report said 1954. was a year of great progress. Much Construction Pacific Telephone's gross con struction in 1954 amounted to $231,000,000. Its construction has averaged $3,500,000 a week f 01 the past nine years. "During 1955 and 1956, we shall need close to $275,000,000 of new money from investors,' Sullivan said. "With it, we can keep pace with growth. In ad dition we would use it to better our plant, to provide margins to keep us on a ready-to-serve basis, and to get ready for an extensive merchandising program to serve all the needs expressed and un expressed of the people of the Pacific West." .-' Sullivan observed that . the facilities and manpower for this expansion are available. The needed investment dollars de pend on earnings which make the ' investment worthwhile to those who have capital to "in vest. ' .; Taxes Paid '. Pacific Telephone's total taxes amounted to $33 per telephone for the year. In addition to pay ing . $109,000,000 of operating taxesfederal, state and com munity the company collected $60,000,000 in excise taxes for the federal government. Operating wages and related costs for 77,000 employees con sumed half of the company's total revenues. Wages were the biggest single item of cost. They amounted to nearly $1,000,000 a day, and totaled $334,000,000. Sullivan looked forward to the time when people will be able to dial their own long dis tance calls direct to any tele phone anywhere in the United States. Much closer, he said is the day when all operators will dial long distance calls direct.

Japan will vote Sunday in a second decision on its commitment to the West and semi-isolation from neighboring Communist China and Russia. About 37,000,000 persons are expected to cast ballots in nation-wide elections for the House of Representatives. This lower house of the Diet or Parliament is the dominant government body. It elects the prime minis ter who forms the government. Second Election It will be the second national election campaign since the end of the Allied occupation and the restoration of Japanese inde pendence. Despite chronic economic ills at home,- foreign policy issues dominate the campaign. "Normalization of relations" with Moscow and Peiping, still technically at war with Japan, and "independence" from Amer ican influences are the recurrent phrases. By using these slogans deftly, caretaker Prime Minister Ichiro Hatoyama and his new Demo cratic Party are cutting into the strength of the Liberals of . his predecessor, Shigeru Yoshida. At the same time Hatoyama is stealing the political thunder of the Socialists who oppose re armament. Co-Existence Advocated Hatoyama advocates peace and co-existence with every body. But this is qualified by a clear declaration that Japan's foreign policy should give top priority to close cooperation with the United States and Britain. It is fairly certain that the two conservative parties the Democrats and Liberals will win a clear majority and Hato yama will probably be elected premier. What is not so certain is whether they will win that all-important two-thirds of the seats. , maybe there highway Not any more! The Motoramic Chevrolet for 1955 has changed all that. In fact, it's stealing the thunder from the high-priced cars on their own home-grounds out on the highway. - . Talk about excitement!
