Personal Mention Suffers Cuts In Accident At Li SEVEN DIGIT TELEPHONE NUMBERS When dial telephoning comes to Humboldt we Fear those seven digit numbers will become something to wrestle with.

Since when does the human mind hold seven digit firmly while taking tHe teceiVer off the'hook, dialing the number, and remembering what the message was to be? On the west coast, and, in fact, many other localities throughout the nation, there is continuing resistance to the seven digit number. Jn one locality the telephone subscribers have shown their resistance to such long numbers by saying, "seven million, six hundred and thirty-five thousand; four hundred and fifty-three." Just why the Bell Telephone who employs the best electrical talent in the world, can't come up with a more simple way to dial a number is beyond our feeble intellect. If they can help create those electronic marvels that control the missies and apace ships so well it seems to us they could simplify dialing. We'll wait with anticipation, and alarm the day we have to become.a computihg'mitc'hine to dial 'a number. RESISTANCE Administration spokesmen, following an old tradition, have said that the defeat of major Administration domestic measures attribute'd to the power of in- trenched selfish interests along, with pure finagling which cynically disregards the public interest.

But there is another and very different side to the coin. Walter Lippmann, who has observed the national scene for a great many years and certainly no hidebound conservative, summed it up in these words: "1 do not see how it can be doubted that the resistance in Congress, which involves about a third of the Democrats and about all the Republicans, rests on powerful and stubborn feelings among the voters." This resistance is to the further extension, at enormous cost of the Welfare State. Among other things it made itself felt in the votes that defeated the creation of a cabinet-level department of urban affairs, and the medi- care plan tied to social security payments. The medicare matter is especially significant. It is reported that members of Congress received more than 1 of mail in opposition to it.

Of the 20 senators from the 10 states with the highest percentage of elderly people, 1.7 voted against the final, amended version of the bill. They certainly knew the sentiments of their constituents. Every government, like every family, must at times come to grips with a problem as.old as society. It amount- to choosing between what it might like to have, and what it can afford. We more Welfare Statism, without running incalculable risks.
