The front axle and wheels were torn from under the truck which rolled on its top and stopped 40

feet from the impact point SE of the intersection. Hindbaugh told state trooper J. W. Reese that he did not see the ! truck. Borst driving the truck tried to avoid the crash.

Friends of his in this area have received cards from him. He has also sent home a number of photographs he has taken in Brussels, Belgium, and in Berlin, Germany. He made a trip behind the Iron Curtain into East Berlin by bus. A number of his photos show the grim wall built by the East Germans. Byrd plans to motor to Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Paris, France, before returning to the United States. He plans to bring his car home with him. Direct Dialing In Sidney By 1963 The building to house new dial: central office equipment at Sidney has been completed, according to C. J. Lohman, division manager of General Telephone. Equipment to provide Sidney customers with All Number Calling and Direct , Distance Dialing will be installed ■ and in operation by the fall of 1963. - f. Equipment to allow individual ; party line ringing also will be Installed. 1 : All Number Calling (ANC) or seven-digit dialing has been 1 brought about by the explosive! growth of the telephone industry and the increasing use of the tele- : phone in everyday life. With 17, : 000 telephones being added daily : iri' the United States, capacity of the present numbering system is ' being used up rapidly. Seven-digit I numbers give the telephone indus- ■ try hundreds of new dial combin- ’ i ations with which to work.. Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) I ( will allow customers to dial directly thousands of communities around the country without the assistance of an operator. Mr. Lohman explained erection of the new building is only the first, and probably most simple step in this project. Installation of the equipment comes next and is a much more complex and time con- , suming task, and will take months to complete. The final step in the project will be cofnplete I testing of lines and outside plant I equipment to make certain Sid-1 ney’s modern telephone exchange , will be ready for prompt and effi- . cient customer service next year.
