636 New Telephones
Added in Medford;
Many Calls Made
A total of 636 new telephones
were added to the Medford ex
change of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company during
1954, according to Manager Jack
Creager. ' . -
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.
The west now has three big long

stallations, among 27 of a poten

Japan Prepares
To Vole Sunday
On Foreign Policy
Tokyo U.P.) 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. ,

Not any more! The Motoramic
Chevrolet for 1955 has changed
