File 1 - June 1971.

First issue of the Youth International Party Line, published June 1972. The issue indicates that the Youth International Party held a protest on Mayday of the same year and handed out 10,000 flyers for the publication. The YIP cites their disappointment in 'Amerika' as a reason to publish this newsletter to help people understand and dismantle the telecommunications monopoly of the Bell Telephone Company. They ask readers to share their copy of the newsletter with friends, and to donate money if possible, or envelopes, paper and stamps from their workplaces. They also make note of a probable need to set up a bail fund.

The first article teaches how to fake credit card charges for long distance phone calls, by using the credit card code for a major company. There is also an article about how to illegally hook up an extra phone to your phone line. There are letters to the editor that ask about topics such as new payphones in Washington, D.C. no longer being able to be fooled by the sound of change in a payphone, and a movement asking people to cancel their phone lines in protest of the Vietnam War. There is a template from the War Tax Resistance to indicate to the government that you will not pay phone taxes that go to fund the war, and information on WPAX a radio station broadcasting to troops in Vietnam.
