Numbers War Rages In California
As Phone Users Fight Hew System
KEW YORK (UPP-Some de
termined and resourceful citizens
have been battling lor months in
growing California over the all'
number calling system planned
by telephone companies for their!
subscribers.
The dispute there and else
where has drawn attention both
from ordinary phone users andi
from officials of telephone com
panies. It has even given rise to
suggestions in some quarters that
had the overall problem of dial
telephone capacities been handled
differently some years ago, when
direct distance dialing was intro
duced, the current dispute might
have been headed off or vastly
diminished.
The switch ultimately would re
place the call number system
used in most communities at
present, an exchange name ab
breviation plus five digits, with
seven digits. More simply, it
would swap two letters and five
numbers for seven numbers.
Telephone companies say the
ANC system is an inevitable re

PGE Awards
Line Jobs
PORTLAND (UPI) Portland
General Electric Co. announced
Wednesday that ft has awarded
three contracts for construction of
an IS million transmission line
from the firm's Round Butte Dam
to Salem.
Receiving contracts to build the
230,000-volt, 99 - mile long line
were: R. C. Hughes Electric Co.,
Inc., and Power Line Erectors,
Inc.. of Spokane, $294,017, for part
of tho line between Salem and
Gates; Charles T. Parker Con
struction Co. of Portland, $1.481,,
122, or a 44-mile section of the
line across the crest of the Cas
cade mountains, and Rasmussen-B-E-C-K.
Inc., of Sunnyside
Wash.. $214,813. for part of the
line through the Warm Springs
Indian Reservation.
Materials and property acquis!
tion for the project were expected
to cost $5,895,048. A spokesman
for PGE said the contractors
were scheduled to complete their
job this year.
'Although the outer atmosphere
of tliesc planets may reach 200
degrees below zero, the surface
temperatures may be at life-support
level," Dr. Rainer Bergcr
told the nation's leading space
scientists at the American Astro-
nautical Society's annual meeting.
He said this condition could re
sult from a combination of a
"greenhouse effect" heat held
within a planet's atmosphere and
heating from a warm planet's
ulterior.
Bergcr said that of all the plan
ets, Mars had the best climate
to sustain life and "scorching
Venus one of the worst."
Seas of water and ammonia
also may exist and prebiological
reactions, such as occurred on
Earth billions of years ago, could
lake place in ine oceans oi tar-
off planets," Dr. Bergcr said.
These reactions, he explained,
could bo triggered by organic ma
terial produced in the atmosphere
by radialion or lightning, carried
downward and dissolved in the
seas.
Such processes may have oc
curred for the last several billion
vears and resulted in lile forms."
Dr. Bergcr said.
"There is no scientific evidence
to support Ihc Uiesis of intelligent
life anywhere in the solar sys
tern except Earth," he said.
However, he said the possibility
of intelligent life beyond llic snlar
syslom, say among the six million
worlds similar to ours in the
Milky Way, still remains
mvstcrv.
suit of growth. An estimated ai
million telephones ring more or
less frequently in the Uniled
Stales every day. At the end of
1961 there were 77.422,000, ac-
cording to their statistics, and at
the end of 1932 there were 45,636,-;
000.
Opponents argue that there
must be a better way to cope
with expansion of the need for
telephone numbers. At recent pub
lie hearings in California, where
opposition to ANC has been per
haps as well organized, vocal and
determined as anywhere in the
nation, they proposed a different
dial. They presented medical tes
timony saying that the seven-digit
numbers would be almost im
possible for some persons to re
member. .
But an article in the United
System Quarterly look notice of
the current hassles and raised
the question of imperfect timing
on the presentation of the ANC
system.
It said that some years back.
when direct distance dialing first
was introduced, "was the time to
revert to all-digit numbers and
thereby assure an adequacy of
numbers for years to come. But
Ihe telephone industry clung to
the exchange name prefixes."
The ANC plan was the "best
solution to an otherwise incvilablc
number shortage." it said.
Subscribers who oppose ANC,'
said the article, "do so only be
cause we telephone people have
(ailed to apprise them of its im
portance.

Civil War
Pay Asked
For State
SAN FRANCISCO UPD- The
stale of California asked the fed
eral government Wednesday to
pay off a $7.5 million claim on
money spent for defense during
llie Civil War at the urging of
President Lincoln.
State Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk
said 2j olhcr states have been
fully repaid for similar claims.
The last was Nevada, which got;
tlMO.OOO in 1929.
Mosk said the infant state of
California spent $4,420,891 to pay
militiamen at the rate of $13 a
monlh and to install 140 guns at
Ihe mouth of San Francisco Bay
and on Alcatraz Island.
Some of the troops were sta
tioned in the Los Angeles area,
where a strong pro-Confederacy
sentiment existed. Other units
were used lo put down a Con
federate uprising in Texas and to
reopen sections of the Overland
Trail which were closed by In
dians.
Mosk said the difference be
tween the money spent and the
$7.5 million claimed represents in
terest paid on bonds which
financed the state's expense. Cali
fornia still was paying interest on
some of the Civil War bonds as
late as 1945. '
The attorney general said Sen.
Clair Engle, D-Calif., was press
ing the claim and that prospects
for its payment are better now
than ever before. Mosk also urged
Sen. Spcssard L. Holland, D-Fla.,
chairman of a subcommittee on
efficiency and supplemental to
lake favorable action on the
claim.
It has been approved seven
limes over the decades by the
U.S. Senate, but never received
approval of both houses of Congress.

before the county's commissioners
today after the Oregon Racing
Commission called off a hearing
on the subject Wednesday night
Thaddeus Bruno, chairman of
the racing commission, announced
that the hearing would not be held
by the commission as scheduled
Friday and suggested that the
county commissioners look further
into the proposal. The action fol

These and many other specific
proposals for religious action on
racial problems emerged from a
lour-day meeting, unique in U.S.
history, at which 700 Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish leaders sought
to make religion a more dynamic
force in the struggle for racial
justice.
The conference was the first of
its kind ever held under the joint
sponsorship of the National Coun
cil of Churches, the National Cath

Synagogue Council of America.
Representatives of 70 religious or
ganizations participated.
The action proposals, unveiled
at the closing session of the con
ference today, were developed by
work groups which met behind
closed doors Tuesday and Wednesday.
They are not binding on any de
nomination or local congregation
but are simply recommendations
from the interfaith conference. A
follow-up committee was estab
lished to seek wide implementa

The conference was to conclude
late today with the issuance ol
"an appeal to the conscience of
the American people." Its text
was withheld from publication
pending debate and voting by the
delegates.
Musa Clarifies
Revision Stand
SALEM (UPI) Senate Presi
dent Ben Musa said Wednesday
he is not opposed to altering"
the Oregon Constitution.
However, Musa said he thinks
it would "be impossible to pass
the proposed revision" that has
been submitted to the 1963 legis
lature by the Oregon Constitution
al Revision Commission.
SpeakinR over stale radio sta
tion KOAC, Musa predicted the
revised draft will get a "rough
going over" because of individual
opposition to specific sections.
'Some changes should be
made," he said, "but they can be
made piece-meal and can be ac
cepted "
ters to the commission office and
the office of the chajrman," Bruno
said in a letter to C. E. Latour-
ettc, chairman of the Board of
Commissioners of Clackamas
County.
"In view of this opposition, the
commission suggests thai your
board may want to conduct a sup
plementary study to further con
firm or refute your original ap
praisal of the situation as it cur
rently exists in Clackamas Coun
ty." he said.
Bruno said that the racing com
mission would "accord this mat-i
tcr Us prompt attention" following1
action by the county commission
ers to his suggestion.
uavia F unK, w no heads a eroun
which plans to build the track
near Wilsonvillc. said he was "ex
tremely disappointed" that the
hearing was called off,
He said that "there has been
considerable support" for the.
project, "particularly in Clacka
mas County where this investment
is to be made. This support, both
in writing and person, will be de
livered to the racing commission
when it chooses to hold the hear
ing to which we feel fully entitled."
Opposition to the proposed proj
ect came from several state legis
lators at Salem including State
Rep. Ed Whelan, D-Portland. and
angry ministers at Oregon City.
Jap Fishers
Get Support
WASHINGTON' UPI Interior
Secretary Stewart L. Udall today
supported the decision by the U.S.
section of the International North
Pacific Fisheries Commission to
allow Japan to join the United
States and Canada in halibut fish
ing in the Bering Sea.
Udall, in a letter to Alaska Gov.
William A. Egan. said the deci
sion would only open the Eastern
section of the Beting Sea to
Japan, leaving 90 per cent of the
halibut fishery to U.S. and Cana
dian fishermen.
Egan had written Udall Dec. 2!
protesting the decision. Udall's
reply, made public today, said
that under the 1952 treaty there
was no alternative to opening the
Eastern Bering Sea to the Japa
nese. He said the United States
and Canada had been unable to
prove that the fishery was being
fullv utilized.
