They are requiring all operators who raise from the ranks to another gig to view several interesting films including one where wittle itty bitty animated pencils talk to one another about "My operator didn't care for me, she chewed on me and I won't last too long", but the general gist of the films is that you can and will be fired for illegal possesion of ONE Ma Bell Pencil, and that the official communications secrecy act can get you shipped off to Siberia for telling anyone little things about the phone company or it's equiptment. Real big brother indoctrination techniques. Another interesting thing out on this coast was that after they spent an ungodly sum to a mathmeti- cian to develope that "aew" credit card code the Barb had it printed in about 2 weeks. One phone VP stormed around the SF office swearing and talking about getting even with that "hippie newspaper". Good luck, and may you have a cheap but good attorney. S,F,,San Fran.

L.A, Inward Operator-KP 213 121 ST. Catalina Inward- KP 213 036 121 ST. Friends at YIPL, This Black Box detector is probably just bullshit that Bull System is putting out to scare phreaks away. If they have a tap on your line they sure as shit can tell though. I've never heard about any way to detect a black box without direct connection to every phone line, and at $35 per line....and 7 mil- lion phones in N. Y., that's 245 million bwks. Even capitalists like Ma Bell don't waste a quarter billion to save a couple million. Ii phone phreaks want to get in touch with each other, try these Colorado loops. THEY ARE NOT FREE, SO DON'T CALL FROM A HOME PHONE CAUSE THEY! RE LONG DISTANCE, Area code 303 343-0009 & 343-0068 One of each pair has a 355-8414 & 355-8424 tone, which will stop if 758-0009 & 758-0000 someone then calls the other number, and then you and they can talk. We suggest not giving out numbers because they are monitored, but exchange info if you want. And don't stay on long. INFORMATION YIPL, I've heard of the curdler(YIPL, no. 12); apparently they're considering dropping the entire matter after it proved powerful enough to "destroy" all the cats and monkeys in an animal room at a large university. S. Gentlemen: There once was a guy from Mass Who trusted not A. P,,U. P.L,or Tass. He took dollars two And sent them to you Because he wanted to subscribe to YIPL. R.R., Mass, Dear YIPL, Tassume you already know that some telco's are using KP-2 which is 1300+1700. Fuck Ma Bell. E. HCA. KP-2 is "transit keypulse" as opposed to KP-1 which is terminal, meaning point of destination. With KP-2 you can call France via England. This is primarily done on overseas calls where direct access is not provided. In order to stack, or add, your calls up by a long chain, a certain procedure is used which requires the use of blank codes, which allow one to call a number( that is not a customer) in area A and then call again to area B, going through A in the process. If this is of any use(which we doubt) we will publish codes sent us. Dear YIPL, Could you tell me where I can get ahold of some information on how to usea blue boxon pay phones. Every time I beepoffan operator cuts in, so I've been limited to usiag my friend's phone lines. And because I don't like the idea of making a habit of using a line very often I've just about run out of available lines. B. P., Md. In many areas, operators manually place 800 (Wats) calls, and think you are signalling them when you beep and their switchboard lamp winks. So when that happens try calling long distance information instead. Often the operator(local) stays on a second, so ask for a name, & when you hear local operator leave the line, beep off. i. een ee oo Lea ee which way is it facing? If any of you still have doubts about Ma Bell, J. F. Doherty and his merry band of infected pork, this should clear them up. The above document was re- cently sneaked out of the AT&T Pentagon especially for YIPL. Examine the second paragraph. Being the smegma that they are, they cleverly used the word "obtain" for what is really coerce. What they do is to scare people they catch by saying they'll press lighter charges if they fink out on their friends or YIPL. We'd love to tell you they lie, but the fact is that when the Government promises immunity they grant it. So we consulted our lawyers and have discovered something very interesting. The Phone Co. has its own law- Fraud by Wire. You break it, and they don't have to press charges, because it's a federal law. But their scheme backfired this time, because it also means that they cannot make any promises about pres- sing charges. If they do, and this is what makes this stolen memo important, they are BREAKING THE LAW, OUTRIGHT. And they do it, too, because people don't understand all the facts. They are, exactly: If you are approached by the phone co., do not tell them a thing, but try to find out what they want, and after they ask you that first question, kick them out. Refuse to say.a word, They are not police. They cannot arrest, subpeona, question or even ejaculate. Speak to a lawyer, one who you can relate to. Even if they come with police or campus officials, you do not have to answer any questions or let them in, if they don't have a warrant to search or arrest you, which they usually won't. Too many people have been screwed by trying to outguess or lie to them when they come to talk, so DON'T TALK, TELL THEM YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO THEM, AND THEY SHOULD GET OUT, This infuriates them more than anything. Make sure your friends read this issue, and understand that when you deal with pigs, you're bound to step in it. a Greetings; Could you tell me if there is any truth to the rumor that the phone company is installing voice-tracking devices to catch people making illegal credit card calls? R.L.,N.Y. There has been a recent court decision allowing voiceprint evidence in a gambling case, however not to our knowledge for credit calls. Often they tape the call if it sounds suspicious, and play it back to the parties involved while threatening them. So if you don't sound like a businessman or woman, or tell your friend over the phone that it's a phony card, they might hear. Don't use names or phone #!s, and you'll never be hassled. Always dial the call from a pay phore, dial direct with a 0 first, say "Credit card, 253-9921--050A". You may be asked the # of the pay phone you're at. Tell her, and change the last digit or two. She may try that number and come back on, if so hang up and change phones. Always sound middle-aged, and in a hurry and pissed at operators, but willing to give her one chance. =<. Friends, Here's a recipe that tastes great and is the cheap- est source of protein. Nothing is cheaper than canned mackeral. It costs 23¢ to 29¢ per pound! Mackeral doesn't plug your pipes with fatty acids the way hamburger does. Add 1/2 can of mackeral to 1/2 cup of Crunchy Granola to 1/2 can mushroom soup. Stir & heat till it just starts bubbling. Or use mackeral as a sandwich spread. For ing- redients use salad dressing, chopped onion, chopped celery, a little vinegar, mustard, salt and of course mackeral. Mix well.Go to your day old bakery and get rye, pumpernickle, wheat at half price or less. But avoid Wonder Bread & Hostess: this is an ITT subsidiary. Day old bread makes great test. If you want to freshen it, put in your refrigerator over night. It will taste fresh & you won't have to toast it. Service to the People! M,T. , Kentucky Not to mention what they put in Wonder Bread! ITT 's credit card no. is 893-5579-001D so make sure never to use it. By showing them how bene- volent we are, they may stop supplying war mat- erials to kill people, they may stop putting chem- icals that affect your body in Morton frazen foods, and wouldn't that be great?

The legal fees for the trial and any appeals are substantial, and John is not exactly loaded. This is an important test case for all of us, because without support, Ma Bell will win the right to wiretap illegally and get away with it. Many of you have sent money and we all, including John, appreciate it but he needs much, much more.
