The plum is the private wire system of American cor poration which are widely decentralized and in need of intercommunications. Each side has wire setups. Each has electronic equip ment. Each is seeking new business and doing a big sell ing job. Western Union, before it entered the fray, automated itself with the latest in elec tronic communications, there by knocking out many a tra dition of old-the messenger boys, the roller-skating girls who ran the telegrams in message headquarters, the dot-dash, tick-tick of tele graph instruments, and the lean and hungry looking tele graph operator at the railroad stations. Nearly all the communica tions now are teleprinter cir cuits. A reperforator, new marvel of the electronics age, makes copies of messages where needed. Buzzeri are Gone Western Union has done away with the buzzers which fl ip s i 112 East Main Next door to Robinson Bros. We give S&H GREEN STAMPS SHOES ?

There still are some tele grams -even singing tele grams. Here Western Union uses its competitor's tele phone for delivery- Western Union is driving for the private wire systems Robert E. Dirkes, assistant vice president of the company and an inventor of note, has designed many systems for industry to link its many branch offices. 2,000 Private Systems Dirkes notes WU operates some 2,000 private wire sys' tems involving three million miles of circuits, sending bil lions of words a year and pro viding WU with some S40 million in revenue. And all this in addition to regular telegraph lines plus 35,000 desk fax devices. American Telephone's long lines department has 5,868, 760 miles of circuits for 5,527 services to industry in tele typewriter service. The field still is a broad one and both the giant com munications units are fighting for it. Western Union has just placed in service the first part of what will be a 25,000-mile network of private wires for International Business Ma chines Corp. This one links 150 IBM of fices and plants coast-to-coast. A second section is scheduled for Dec. 15. In full operation, the system will serve IBM plants, headquarters, and 245 laboratories, offices and parts centers in the U.S. and Can ada. Air Force Link The company is completing a U.S. Air Force private wire network linking all Air Force bases. The domestic part of the installation will be com pleted this year and the for eign next year. The AF domestic network includes 200,000 miles of cir cuits, linking 200 Air Force points, and is capable of han dling 2.5 billion words an nually. Western Union facilities also link up 473 General Elec tric offices and plants in a nationwide system; United Airlines offices; Blue Cross offices: Sheraton Corp. of fices; Clark Equipment offices and plants; a group of 200 nation-wide banks; several in surance company units, and some brokerage houses. Own Accounting System The company has automat ed its own accounting system, using its IDP (integrated data processing) system. This proc esses payrolls, inventories and other data. It also is operat ing IDP systems for private corporations. Western Union's vast wire systems are linking up wide ly decentralized American business companies for more efficient operation of their various functions and provid ing means of data processing for more efficent bookkeeping. ffllwooo fife T HMJJULlHHniJ ... ww fcf with imiWi hf - ISik wttfc t kmpm.

Unpredictable Antics of Arthur Godfrey Missed In New Variety Program By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York - (UPD - Arthur Godfrey returned to night time TV Tuesday with a kind of iceberg va riety show -only on-eighth of Godfrey Was visible above the sur face. G o d f r ey's new CBS-TV show submer ges the old William Ewald Godfrey in a sea of production. As produc tion goes, it isn't bad: Peggy King, a dish, dished out a couple of songs; the Axi- dentals attacked "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" with fair gusto; Jackie Cooper stop ped in to chin and sing and drum-and all of it had a sort of tacky gloss. Just Another Show But its trouble was it was just another variety show. Godfrey's forte has always been his casual impudence, his off-the-cuffiness. He has always been a barefoot boy with chic, a tousled slickster of an entertainer-salesman who operated with one foot in your door and the other in his mouth. Whether you liked Godfrey or not, it was a fascinating business watching him just to find out what the heck he was going to do or say next. Godfrey, the old Godfrey, was unpredictable. It's obvious CBS-TV is trying to iron out that unpredictability, But I, for one, will miss it. 7:30 pm 'Harvey' Leads The Channel Swim: CBS TV's "Harvey" racked up a 28.9 Trendex over its 90 min utes, outdrawing its opposi tion by a sizable amount. NBC-TV's "Alcoa Theater" notched a 14.8 and "Suspic ion" a 12.5. ABC-TV's "Polka Party" was swamped under with a 7.1. CBS-TV's Ed Sullivan will film shows in Tokyo and Ha waii this season.
