Shivers touts telephone growth in Texas cites record connections
Governor Shivers in a talk with Commissioner Curtis noted Texas telephone service expansion outpacing population gains since V J Day. He claimed it took only three years and two months to connect the millionth instrument, and that in five years since the war's end as many telephones were added as in the previous 67 years. Mrs Mathews, wife of an Army sergeant in Japan, called home via a fast connection, while Mr Mathews in Kyoto spoke of the toll call costs. The ceremony included M J Williams and A O Thomas representing the telephone company See PHONE-Page 4.
