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."

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

residents have developed oth

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

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

her first airplane ride. As her

about 500 yards away, the sin

But it concedes that it may
take a little longer to memo

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

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

Phoenix, Ariz., Bioomington,
