Muttipurpose Communications
in the Sky—for You
Microwave systems, as we use them in the telephone
business, transmit Long Distance communications by
radio signals in a high-frequency range (4,000, 6,000
and 11,000 megacycles), amplifying them at intermediate
stations. Via a network of towers 40 to 360 feet high,
spaced 20 to 30 miles apart (each with its own trans-
mitter and receiver), your telephone calk, TV shows,
radio programs and business data are relayed from
point to point until they reach their destinations, riding
invisible voicepaths in the sky at the speed of 186,000
miles a second.

Like their big brothers of the nationwide Long Distance
networks, these new Short-Haul microwave systems can
be “slice" electronically to accommodate television
shows, radio programs, reams of business data and
thousands of telephone calls—with wirephotos and
fast-breaking news stories thrown in for good measure.
This year, we’re building more and more of them to
bring the benefits of microwave to more people and
more places. It’s part of our biggest construction pro-
gram ever. An intensive effort to give you even faster,
easier communications and make your telephone service
more useful, convenient, dependable and valuable seven
days a week in foul weather or fair. Another 1965

But the UEA changed tactics.
The National Education Asso-

stay out of Utah. Many busi-

business because they put un-
certainty into Utah's public ed-
ucation.
It was an election year and
the UEA buckled down to help
elect a governor and state legis-
lature more sympathetic to its
cause.
Some educators ran for the
legislature — and won.
Newly elected Gov. Calvin L.
Rampton asked and got more

ture this year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Defense
Department says all of the 53,400 Ameri-
can military men in South Viet Nam
will be eligible for 655 a month in com-
bat pay, unless they are specifically ex-
cepted by local commanders.
Until now, combat pay went only to
those in Viet Nam who spent at least
six days a month in areas where they
were subject to hostile fire.
The Pentagon also said that about
27,000 Navy men aboard U.S. 7th Fleet
warships off the Viet Nam coast may
also become eligible if the U.S. com-
mander in the Pacific rules they should
be.
