For this selection, I had to turn back through over 360 pages of TAPs which
|
|||
|
|
represent the results of over 13 years of "subversive" work by several dozen
|
|||
|
|
people. I have tried to reproduce it as accurately with possible since there
|
|||
|
|
are a few diagrams. As for the format it was a four page booklet (the same
|
|||
|
|
format that is still used 13 years later) -- It was typewritten except for the
|
|||
|
|
larger print which was handwritten. Today, TAP looks a little more
|
|||
|
|
professional than it did in its former days. Also, TAP has become extremely
|
|||
|
|
"conservative" compared to the days of its youth when the newsletter was run
|
|||
|
|
by anti-war/anti-government/anti-everything yippies. Now, onto issue #1.

THE YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PARTY LINE'S FIRST ISSUE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We at YIPL would
|
|||
|
|
like to offer
|
|||
|
|
thanks to
|
|||
|
|
all you phreeks
|
|||
|
|
out there. Most of you who are now
|
|||
|
|
receiving this met us in Washington on Mayday,
|
|||
|
|
where we distributed 10,000 promo flyers. So far
|
|||
|
|
we have received over 50 responses, complete with
|
|||
|
|
contributions, encouragement, and spirit. We may
|
|||
|
|
not have done well percentage-wise, but the fact
|
|||
|
|
that there are 50 people all over the country willing
|
|||
|
|
to fight back speaks for itself. We are sure that from
|
|||
|
|
the spirit of response, YIPL membership will really
|
|||
|
|
skyrocket. However, more important than our numbers,
|
|||
|
|
in our opinion, is the feeling and motivation for this
|
|||
|
|
movement. The disappointment we feel toward Amerika has
|
|||
|
|
turned to hatred as we saw the futility of the movement
|
|||
|
|
to improve it, and to frustation as our outside efforts
|
|||
|
|
were repressed and forbidden. But we did NOT turn our
|
|||
|
|
backs on the movement for change. YIPL believes that
|
|||
|
|
education alone cannot affect the System, but deucation
|
|||
|
|
can be an ivaluable tool for those willing to use it.
|
|||
|
|
Specifically, YIPL will show you why something must be
|
|||
|
|
done immediately in regard, of course, to the improper
|
|||
|
|
control of the communication in this country by none
|
|||
|
|
other than the BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So if your friends want to get in on the fun, let them
|
|||
|
|
read your newsletter, and you might want to research your
|
|||
|
|
own questions in your local library, and help to start the
|
|||
|
|
education of your community of the phone company's part in the
|
|||
|
|
war against the poor, the non-white, the non-conformist, and in
|
|||
|
|
general, against the people. Show your neighbors, friends and the
|
|||
|
|
representatives of your area how the Bell System and the Amerikan
|
|||
|
|
government are co-conspirators. If your friendscan't subscribe to
|
|||
|
|
YIPL, that; is cool, is convenient for our small staff, and is right on
|
|||
|
|
if they can send a buck as a donation and read your newsletter. We also
|
|||
|
|
need stamps, letters, and envelopes, which maybe they can get from their
|
|||
|
|
office at work. Because we are already sending out issues to people short
|
|||
|
|
on bread, we really do need this kind of help. We will report on all of our
|
|||
|
|
finances from time to time, and if you can dig it, we will probably need some
|
|||
|
|
kind of bail fund set up. If any YIPL busts happen, we'd like to ask you all
|
|||
|
|
in advance to work extra hard for the cause. People, thanks again. Love
|
|||
|
|
|

THE CREDIT CARD CODE
|
|||
|
|
The 1971 Credit Card system works as follows: The telephone number (7 digits)
|
|||
|
|
of the number to be billed is followed by the secret number for the area
|
|||
|
|
code of the number. They are listed below for several cities. At the end
|
|||
|
|
of the number comes a letter that matches the sixth digit of the telephone
|
|||
|
|
number. Many people look up the number of a large Company in the area and
|
|||
|
|
use their number, cause using any old number might lead to THAT person
|
|||
|
|
refusing to pay, and the Phone Company's hasseling the person to whom the
|
|||
|
|
call was placed. They should say that others use that phone, and they don't
|
|||
|
|
know anything. Fraud is illegal, so WE don't think you should make free calls.
|
|||
|
|
This Code has already been printed in many underground papers, as you know.

TECHNICAL INFOMRMATION
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As long as you're paying a bill, the phone company will tend to let you be.
|
|||
|
|
We all know that you might have extra phones you want connected as freebees.
|
|||
|
|
Not Western Electric phones, of course. Remember, the phone company "frowns
|
|||
|
|
upon" hooking them up yourself, so wwe suggest you have a friend do it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On-hook voltage:45V
|
|||
|
|
Off-hook voltage:4.5V Your telephone line is usually a red and a green
|
|||
|
|
Ring pulses: 90V wire. A yellow is sometimes used for ringing. Un-
|
|||
|
|
screw your storebought phone on the bottom and
|
|||
|
|
you will find a box with a bunch of screws on it. Connecting as in the
|
|||
|
|
phone will keep it a secret from "Them".

|
RESISTOR
|
|||
|
|
Flickering a switch up puts the phone on that number. Flicking it down puts
|
|||
|
|
that number on "hold". The center position turns the first number off. The
|
|||
|
|
resistor keeps the line "off the hook" electrically, so if it is on hold,
|
|||
|
|
you will not be able to receive phone calls on that number. You line would
|
|||
|
|
would appear "busy" to callers. Simple enough?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yippies have been know to fool around with shit like this from time to
|
|||
|
|
time without the permission of their local telephone company and even
|
|||
|
|
though they usually get away with it, we at YIPL would never think of
|
|||
|
|
advocating that thype of irresponsible activity. You should always check
|
|||
|
|
with your local phone company to pay them any extra money that you might
|
|||
|
|
be responsible to them for, before ever fooling around with your phone.
|
|||
|
|
The phone company is our friend, and they are here to help you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dear phreeks,
|
|||
|
|
I'm a phreeks in need of information, so I can balance the score between the
|
|||
|
|
Bell Kompany & the people. I enclose a dollar. Your brother in the movement-
|
|||
|
|
H.M., Jamestown, N.D.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My dearest sirs:
|
|||
|
|
Nothing pleasure me more than ripping off Mother Bell. Please send newsletter.
|
|||
|
|
Encloses is $1 U.S. Also-a question...A few friends of mine make long distance
|
|||
|
|
calls free from pay phone booths by holding the mouthpiece of the phone they're
|
|||
|
|
using up to the phone next to it so the operator hears the change jingle and
|
|||
|
|
makes the connection. I've tried it here in D.C. and the operator says the
|
|||
|
|
cash hasn't registered (which of course it hasn't). Please tell why. Thanks a
|
|||
|
|
lot. B.S., DuBois, Pa.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In our nation's Kapital there are the shiny new pay phones that work
|
|||
|
|
electronically, instead of the ding (5c), ding-ding (10c) or dong (25c).New
|
|||
|
|
ones have only one slot for depoit, and oon old ones your trick works, but hold
|
|||
|
|
the handset CLOSE to that phone!

Editor
|
|||

Send me the shit and don't rip me off (please) S.M., Winchester, Pa.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dear Y.I.P.L.,
|
|||
|
|
I thought you might be interested in a movement started here in Lancaster. The
|
|||
|
|
movement is to have people who wish to see our troops out of Vietname this year
|
|||
|
|
call their local phone company manager and have their phone removed. The
|
|||
|
|
manager must be told why if it is to have any effect.Hopefully enough people
|
|||
|
|
will feel strongly & give up phone service to begin showing up on the profits
|
|||
|
|
of the phone company. This would push the phone lobbies to speak out (Bell
|
|||
|
|
especially) to end our continued involvement there. If you can assist in any
|
|||
|
|
way by encouraging this to take place in other areas it would be appreciated.
|
|||
|
|
Thanks! J.G., Lancaster, Pa.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hi People,
|
|||
|
|
Here's my bill, send me shit on fucking the Bell System. Man do I need info on
|
|||
|
|
this kinda shit thanks D.B., State College, Pa.

OUR FRIENDLY PHONE COMPANY...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Our example of eavesdropptin that touches a vast number of Americans was
|
|||
|
|
related to the Subcommittee by Joseph Beirne, President of the Communications
|
|||
|
|
Worker of America. He revealed that the phone company does not limit its
|
|||
|
|
invasions of privacy to assisting the FBI an other government tappers. He
|
|||
|
|
pointed out that " as part of its training program, and as part of its cont-
|
|||
|
|
inuing close supervision of its employees, the telephone industry has developed
|
|||
|
|
equiptment for monitoring its operators, its service assistants, its commercial
|
|||
|
|
office employees-in short, all of its employees who deal with the customer.
|
|||
|
|
Such monitoring means, of course, that the customer is, in effect, monitored at
|
|||
|
|
the same same time."
|
|||
|
|
"An alert snooper is sometimes able to obtain the information he needs simply
|
|||
|
|
by calling the telephone office and posing as a telephone repairman. Or, if
|
|||
|
|
the tapper is a law-enforcement officer, here may be able to secure the
|
|||
|
|
outright cooperation of the telephone company in the placing of his taps. In
|
|||
|
|
Kansas City, the existence of just such an arrangement between the telephone
|
|||
|
|
company and the chief of police was reveled."
|
|||
|
|
The above two quotes were made by Senator Edward V. Long.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the office we call it "The System", and use of the word "the" means dog-
|
|||
|
|
matic finality. The wall comes up pretty fast when you start tampering with
|
|||
|
|
the way things are done within The System, and you either slow down and do
|
|||
|
|
things Bell's way or knock your brains out.-AT&T junior executive,spring,1967

In April of 1966, as the government was excalating the Vietnam war, Congress
|
|||
|
|
passed a law raising the Federal tax on telephone service to 10%. "It is
|
|||
|
|
clear," said Rep. Wilbur Mills, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee,
|
|||
|
|
"that Vietnam and only the Vietnam operation makes the bill necessary".
|
|||
|
|
-Congressional Record,February 23,1966.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The War Tax Resistance is showing people how to refuse to pay this war tax. In
|
|||
|
|
most cases, the IRS will come to collect with 6% interest but your phone
|
|||
|
|
service will continue. But the more it's done, the more it costs Them in time,
|
|||
|
|
trouble and embarrasment for Uncle Sham. Do it, and tell your friends,
|
|||
|
|
relatives and neighbors to do the same. Include a letter to this effect to the
|
|||
|
|
phone company and your congressmen:

|
BECAUSE OF THE BRUTAL AND AGGRESSIVE WAR the United States government is
|
|||
|
|
conducting against Vietnam, the amount of federal excise tax, $.............,
|
|||
|
|
has been decucted from my payment of this bill. I have opposed this war and
|
|||
|
|
protested against it in many ways. Now I must testify to my opposition by
|
|||
|
|
refusing to pay this tax.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The telephone excise tax was raised in April, 1966, only in order to help
|
|||
|
|
pay for the war in Vietnam. Paying the tax means helping to pay for outright
|
|||
|
|
atrocities, for the murder of innocent women and chidren. It means helping to
|
|||
|
|
pay for the indicscriminate bombin and napalming of defenseless villages. It
|
|||
|
|
means helping to finance the shipping of American boys half way around the
|
|||
|
|
world to die defending an unpopular, totalitarian and corrupt regime.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I am sorry for any incovenience my tax refusal may cause your office and
|
|||
|
|
hope you will understancd that this protest is not directed against the
|
|||
|
|
telephone company. I hope also that you will soon join me and the many others
|
|||
|
|
others who have decided that it is now necessary to oppose the war by refusing
|
|||
|
|
to pay the telephone exciese tax that helps finance it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sincerely in peace,

IN NEED

|

How do we communicate with our people serving time in Nam? WPAX has a way.
|
|||
|
|
They're putting rock and sould and rap and education tapes on the air through
|
|||
|
|
Radio Hanoi, who is donating free air time to broadcast these "subversive"
|
|||
|
|
sounds, now banned by our government's stations. But WPAX need YOUR blank and
|
|||
|
|
recorded tapes, and of course, bread. Send what you can. If you want ot
|
|||
|
|
record your own show to be aired, ask them for details and they'll be happy to
|
|||
|
|
supply them. WPAX, Box 410, Cooper Station, N.Y.,N.Y. 10003

GETTING PAST ISSUE OF YIPL
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Obviously, as the people join up later on, they're going to want info that was
|
|||
|
|
already published. So we'll have a stock of past issues, available at the
|
|||
|
|
ridiculous (?) price of 50c each. This MIGHT start to erase our deficit, but
|
|||
|
|
we'll lover the price if we can get enough contributions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IN OUR NEXT ISSUE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We will have more letters, info, shit, and our man on the scene, Al Bell, will
|
|||
|
|
have some INSIDE INFO on the "Blue Box' that people all of the country are
|
|||
|
|
using on Ma Bell. Plus a dialouge with Russel Baker and Abbie Hoffman on Fones
|
|||
|
|
