Just who will make the call is unknown at this point. But the Bell sys- tem thinks that whoever he is, he’ll be making history. It will be the first time that anybody has ever made a real long-distance call without dealing with an operator —and without waiting for the operator to put the call through. The fellow had better have something fitting and proper to say when he starts talking. This new turning point* in communications history |= coincides with the 75th an- niversary of the telephone. The American Telephone and ‘Telegrah company is mighty proud of it.

These are the same pro- posals made by MacArthur himself, and which presum- ably led to his dismissal as Far Eastern commander. MacArthur told the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees today that on January 12 the joint chiefs of staff made the same proposals he gave to Congress April 19. He told the committees that, sinee he was never al-| lowed to carry out the rec- Summer Tourist Business To Be Discussed Here The development and pro- motion of summer tourists business in Key West will be discussed by t-e member- ship of the Key West Cham- operators — technological| er of Commerce ata meet- Rane inbieut ana f 1], img tenight in the Court- ommendations of the joint, ploy te reom of County Courthouse. jchicfs, he assumes they that.
