the June issue under surveillance, and that we respond with a 'No Comment' when other members of the press called to ask why AT8tT had confiscated our magazines. But once again Ma Bell may have done herself more harm than good. The editors of the nationwide monthly have become so outraged that they are establishing a war chest to regulate AT8tT journalistically by revealling the ways in which it cheats and defrauds it's captive customers who are forced to rely on it's systems. Already, the contributions are coming in. Last July 29th, phone phreaks from all across the nation migrated to the Basement Ballroom of New York's lavish l-lotel Diplomat to take part in Youth International Party Line's Phirst Phone Phreak Convention. YIPL, which is a self-proclaimed anti-profit organization, was originally supposed to hold it's gala gathering in Miami during the Democratic Convention, but postponed it, and moved it to the massive metropolis where organizers claimed, the laws against phreaking are full of loopholes. Workshops were held concerning circuits, legal hassles, and the general strategies of lVla Bell. Master of ceremonies, Al Bell, distributed mimeographed sheets containing instructions on how to build a Black Box simpler than the one described in the June issue of Rampartsi' The Blue Box workshop leader displayed charts of several different circuits familar to the most famous of all phone phreak devices and recommended a book by David Talley Callgd Basic Telephone Switching Systems. But some of the most interesting information was the coming attraction hints for what was about to be published through YlPL's upcoming newsletters. For well over a year now, YIPL loperating out of room 504,152 West 42 St., NY, NY.l has been the phone phreaks' official disseminating outlet for new information, schematics, and general correspondence. Yippie PR man Abbie Hoffman, who was an active participant at the convention, said that future YIPL newletters would soon feature circuits for scramblers, bug detectors, and a new device lwhich consists of an oscillator of 2.2 KC, switched on and off electronically, just like a single slot pay phonel called a Red Box. After commemorating the first transcontinental telephone line between New York and San Fransisco, on July 29th 1914, the assembledge ended the convention by re-running a 20 minute black and white celluloid film feature which displayed pay phone phreaking techniques and included a ten minute portion on a guy who expresses his hatred of the phone company by eating lVla Bell equipment. it l YlPL's August letter says that sel undercover agents from the P Kompanyu showed up, and advert, that the now infamous 20 minute 'fl is available for rent. But of ni importance are the schematicsl plans contained within the sl yellow Augest newsletter. Comri information on the constructi tuning, and operation of a Blue Bl Line earpiece with foam, and tj it to the mouthpiece tightly, pan the operating instructions direct. H' smartest phone phreaks seldom ci their unit with them, but rathtl cassette recorder, which they el after making their call. Also included in the August issue the addresses of companies thatn' the needed parts recommendations of certain bn names that have presumir performed well for phone phreakil the past. Even Telephony, the magazine off Telephone lndustry, report: plugged YlPL's New York addresst company executives, ladvising tl not to reveal their new identities vw writing YlPLl. YIPL answeredl article, which they claim is bla with finger upheld congratulated the trade magazine the ridiculous accuracy of t' name. All names, places, and eve in this article are completely fictitici Any similarity whatsoever completely unintentional.
