Newspaper Page Text( I 2 B Hayward Reviews Plan for Medlord Business District Richard Hayward, Eugene, bureau of municipal research ' planning consultant, reviewed a public building plan for Mediord and a central Med ford business district plan at the Monday roundtable lunch eon of the Medford Chamber of Commerce. The plans, which were pre sented to city officials in ear ly June, were reviewed and maps were posted to illustrate projected plans. He explained that Medford has had federal assistance with planning since 1958 when Ned Langford arrived here from Eugene. He is now employed full time by the City of Medford for planning. So far Medford has spent $24,000 for planning studies, Hayward said, and added that $4,700 has been earmarked by the city for future planning. Future Improvements Future improvements with in the central business district plan are recommended on the basis that Medford will reach a population of 36,000 by 1980. He stressed that through traffic should be routed around the core business dis trict and local traffic mini mized. The plan for public build ings in Medlord centered on the library park with govern ment buildings grouped around it to the south. He added that Medford is ap proaching a size large enough to support a civic auditorium and convention hall, and three sugscsted sites were included in the plan. Hayward stressed that busi ness district improvements nni rhpan. The citv must find out its problems, then a group of business persons is needed to promote It. "You must sell yourself on the plan," Hayward contin ued, "then you must sell it to the public. Anything you do will reflect your group so get out and support the program from which all will benefit." He said Medford is the fast est growing area in the whole state and "it is up to you to keep up with it."

Appointments may TUESDAY, JULY 24. 1862 Bay Area San Francisco -H'PD-A San Francisco housewife picked up her telephone, dialed the operator and said with a sly smile: "I don't seem to be able to dial it. Would you please get me number three billion, one hundred seventy six mil lion, four hundred twenty nine thousand, six hundred eighty two?" If the operator was left confused - and who could blame her? - the housewife could claim another victory for the bay area forces who are in revolt auainst ANC, the all-number calling system that Bell System companies arc gradually substituting for letter prefixes across the na tion.

The telephone company un derstandably will not reveal all the indignities to which it is being subjected, but they are reported to include the payment of bills with an extra penny or two, just to snarl up the company's book keeping, or the punching of random holes in computer ized cards. Today 18 million of the 77 million telephones in the United States have ANC. The total will climb to more than 100 million by 1975. Boom ing growth is rapidly using up all the available letter combinations for name pre fixes, the company contends. In the opposite corner is the Anti-Digit Dialing League, a newly incorporated San Francisco organization dedi cated to halting "creeping numeralism." Continue All-Number Dialing Objections Prof. S. I. Hayakawa, noted scmanticist and a league founder, put it this way: "We have all numerals for our Social Security accounts and all numerals for our bank accounts: but we don't have to memorize our own. "A telephone number is dif ferent. It is an address and we have to keep addresses of friends and business con tacts in our heads. As psychol ogists have shown, the seven numeral system goes well be yond the average person's ability to memorize." Carl V. May, another league founder, said it's opposed to such "juvenile" means of pro test as harassing telephone operators or overpaying phone bills. "There are legal channels to voice our protests and we plan to use them," he said. "We arc getting a hearing be fore the state public utilities commission and we will tell MLDFGRD MAIL TRIBUNE. MtUrOHU, OHKGCN them that the company is not being realistic in expecting people to react like ma chines." The phone company tikes issue with the memory ob jection, declaring that in ti e short period of time between looking up a number and dial ing, it's about as easy to re Two Escape Death In Seattle (UPB - An Oregon man and his sister, return ing from a family funeral, es caped injury when their am phibian plane flipped over in Lake Washington Sunday during an attempted landing. The pilot, Robert Matthews, 34, a Coos Bay, Ore., logger, was giving his sister, Mrs. Carl B. Woolley, 41 of Renton. her first airplane ride. As her husband and children watch ed from the Renton airfield, about 500 yards away, the sin member seven numbers as two letters and five numbers. But it concedes that it may take a little longer to memo rize all-numerical numbers. By switching to ANC, the company is able to use all 10 numeral openings on the tele phone dial for the prefix in stead of the eight on which Crash of Plane gle-engine plane flipped over as it touched down on the water. Matthews and his sister clung to floating seat cush ions until a rescue boat picked them up. The plane sank shortly aft erwards while the two were being taken to Renton hos pital. They suffered multiple cuts and bruises and Mrs. Woolley received a broken rib and fractured elbow. letters appear. "This means that hundreds of new prefix combinations can eventually be made by using numerals in stead of letters." The Anti-Digit Dialing League said that it's possible to get 912 million different phone numbers with letter prefixes using present tele phone arrangements, and an astronomical 4.75 billion un der future plans. A telephone company spokesman brushed off the claims as incorrect. The Anti-Digit Dialing League challenged the phone company to debate the issue, but the latter stiffly declined. The league reports new ad herents flocking to its banner. Founder May said new chap ters were in the process of being formed in such diverse centers of revolt as Washing ton, D.C., Carson City, Nev Phoenix, Ariz., Bioomington, Ind., and Yakima, Wash.
