MEETS PRESS - Air France stewardess Francoise Authie,
who survived history's worst airplane crash Sunday when a
Boeing 707 jetliner crashed and burned on takeoff at Paris,
killing 130 persons, is shown as she conferred with news
men. Miss Authie, 23, was still in a bad state of shock. She
suffered only minor cuts in the disaster in which she and
another stewardess were the only survivors. (UPI)
Radioactive Clocks
Give Man New
Sense of Antiquity
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
Unittd Press International
Washington (UPI) Radioac
tive "clocks" have given man
a new sense of his own an
tiquity. They have provided "a new
sort of yardstick." according
to Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, "by
which we can measure how
fast and how far we have
come in our ascent from the
swamps and the caves of our
remote ancestors."
Radioactive materials decay
at known rates. By measuring
the quantity left in once liv
ing matter, it is possible to
fix the time when this matter
ceased to absorb radioactive
materials in the ordinary
processes of life.
Seaborg, chairman of the
Atomic Energy commission,
said radioactive dating had
enabled the British anthropol
ogist, Prof. L. S. B. Leakey,
to determine when certain an
cestors of man lived, made
tools, and hunted game.
Remains of Creature
' In the Olduvai gorge of
Tanganyika, East Africa,
Leakey found remains of an
ape-like creature which had
"learned the fundamental art
of making crude tools of
Hint."
Scientists using radioactive
dating techniques established
"that these early men hunted
and lived and died over 600
000 years ago." Seaborg said.
More recently some .other
bones found by Leakey have
been dated as being at least
1,750,000 years old. This
comes close to doubling the
previously estimated age of
man s ancestors.

another possible ancestor of
modern human beings. This
creature, "more man-like than
ape-like," was 14 million
years old, according to the
radioactive evidence.
It is humbling." Seaborg
said, "to recognize that our
span of recorded history is
only about one thousandth of
the entire length of time that
men, or man-like creatures,
have walked on the face of
the earth.
Ready To Cross Void
"Yet today we are getting
ready to cross the void, tak

us, to explore yet other
worlds In space."

They also have established
the age of some of man's most

England were erected, it has
now been determined, about
1,500 B.C.
The Code of Hammurabi,
the great law-giver of ancient
Babylon, was carved on stone
slabs nearly 3,700 years ago.
We have also learned,
Seaborg said, "that Jericho
may be one of the oldest cities
in the world. Parts of the deep
ruins of the city date from
the period of 8.000-6.000 B.C."
At that time, Seaborg not
ed, "the Ice Age had not yet
ended in northern Europe."

Aroused Citizens Plan Action
Against All-Digit Telephoning
San Francisco -flJPD- A tiny
band of aroused citizens is
forming a skirmish line of
protest against the "numbers
game" of industrial automat
ion.
They are convinced a "re
volution of sorts" is necessary
to preserve the dignity of
man.
The battle, as yet joined
only in angry phrases, would
be, . they say, against the
eventual reduction of all good
and treasured things to num
bers - just because machines
function more efficiently with
numbers.
The unofficial general of
this people's army is renown
ed scmanticist S. I. Haya
kawa, who urges all citizens
to balk against the plan of
American telephone compan
ies to substitute digits for
names in their telephone ex
changes. Names Significant
Many exchange names have
historical o r geographical
significance and most are
pleasing to the ear. But the
phone companies eventually
intend a sweeping change to
digits corresponding to the
first two letters of the ex
change because they can get a
more varied combination.
Thus Edgewater 2-2345,

332-2345
One outraged San Francisco
newspaper columnist has ex
horted his readers to sabotage
the telephone company's auto
matic accounting system by
overpaying three cents on
their bills.
Another suggested that
when an operator asks for a
number it should be given
in this manner; "three mill
ion, three hundred twenty
two thousand, three hundred
forty five.1'
Already,' 13 million sub
scribers have the new seven
digit numbers.
Battles Trend
To Hawakawa, the expert
on words, the battle would be
against a steamroller trend of
making everybody and every
nice detail about him into a
Social Security number.
"The t passive t acceptance
of creeping mechanization
has gone far enough," he said.
Besides, he said, the use of
exchange names gives you a
clue as who has been calling
you and "helps you decide
whether to call the guy back."
And further, Hayakawa
said, exchange names make
numbers easier to remember
On this, he was supported
by a psychology professor.

of California at Berkeley. He

impersonal I said more than half of the
population isn't bright enough
to remember a seven-digit
number.
As for telephone companies'
intentions, George Brunn, an
attorney, bitterly said, "We
have a new word-'telephony'
-to apply to reasons given by
a phone company when it
doesn't have any."
Running Out
Actually, the telephone
companies give a rather sim
ple reason. They say they are
running out of numbers.
According to them, the na
tion now has 75 million tele
phones and will have twice as
many in another 15 years.
When exchange names are
employed, an area code num
ber can accommodate about
600,000 telephones. But under
a seven-digit system, an area
code number can include 800,-'
000 phones.
Brunn says the present 105
area code numbers could be
expanded to as many as
1,000. But the companies
reply that in population cen
ters this might require you to
dial an area code to be con
nected with somebody nearby.
So what are Block, Brunn
and Hayakawa going to do?
They told a news conference
that they don't know yet, but
they will work out their plan
for revolution soon.
