   .'~ I told the triLunal at Nu-
    remberg. I did no, know that
    Hitler was a Nazi. For yeare I
    thought he workad for the
    phone company."
    
   A few of you have written us asking if
    the Esquire article is factual. It is.
    However, some numbers have been changed
    to protect the ~nnocent. For example,
    the loop numbers have been changed by
    the telephone company. And they may
    change others because of the article.
    But the box works, and the explanat~on
    the Esquire article gives is correct.
    Including when they say that calling
    information from a home phone and using
    a box is not wise. If you ~ant to make
    a box l~ke &ilbertson's, see letter's
    column.
    
    Some readers have been having trauble using
    the blne box tones on pay phones. One reason
    is that an intercepting operator might hear
    the tones and suspecting a malfuc
    the tones and suspect a malfunction in the
    equiptment(a common occarence). She then cuts
    you off. You don't however, always run into
    an intercepting operator. If you dial long
    distance information(area code, 555-1212) or
    ~f you call late at nite you usnally have a
    better chance of getting throngh. Also realize
    that the fucked-up phone system cennot handle
    all the calls in the U.S. on certaing nights.
    Fr~day, Saturday' Sunday, and Monday all suck.
    Expact to get a busy signal or operator record-
    ing on these ntghts.
    A box works better on a home phone, bot it is
    of course more dangerous that way. Next time
    your relat~ves invite you over, call from there
    and they'll never get hassled for one call, if
    the phone company even manages to trace it. An
    old coupie won't be charged with using a box if
    yon connect onto their wires in an apartment
    building basement. Always use an 800 number,
    like 800-243-llll when calling on a non-pay
    phone. B~t please, don't call on your own
    line. That's asking for trouble.

    Dear YIPL,
    
    Just got your newsletter today, far facking
    out. I hope you keep up the good work. A
    good way to fuck up a pay phone is as follows;
    Take the pin off the back of a YIPPIE' button
    and turn the dial all the way araund, stick
    the pin into the little hole (see arrow),
    press down hard on the pin and turn the dial
    clockwise, and the dial comes right off.

    Dear YIP[,
    Here's a suppiement to that pay phone diaL
    ripoff. Heat the pin point for about 3-5
    seconds with a lighter or match; It will make
    it simpler to push thru the hole. And instead
    of removing the pin from the back of the bot-
    ton simply bend ~t up and use the button as
    a handle. And when you get the dial off put
    all kinds of revolutionary slogans on the
    paper number disc or make up your own.
    Herets an idea for all the beginning YlPLis.
    Check the obituaries in the local papers for
    dead single people, then find their phone
    number, and call like crazy giving the deceas-
    ed's phone number to the operator. Make sure
    the stiff doesn't have a famity. They have
    enough to worty about without being bugged
    by the phone company. If a person dies after
    the phone bills come out you have a full month
    before the company catches on. Fuck the System

    -Good ideas. Also put working credit card
    numbers on the dial paper to help out peeple
    who visit tbat booth. You might also want
    to write YIPL's address down.
