The pictures and newsfilm showed the stricken British freighter Ambassador at sea UPI refused a Coast Guard re quest to pool-the film on the ground that the "stringer" cameraman was the only news man on the scene ready to fly on the story, that there was room aboard the plane for rep resentatives of other media had they arranged or desired to be there, that.the "stringer" cam eraman was not authorized to sign any such agreement,-and that the agreement was con during rescue efforts. Theyjtrary to customary policy in were made by a "stringer, non-staff cameraman, hired by UPI for the assignment and dispatched from Montreal to Halifax where he boarded a Coast Guard plane.

UPI then decided to release the pictures and film to com peting services, but under protest. Upon learning that UPI was releasing the film for pool dis tribution, Anderson did not file the order and no hearing was held. At a conference later in the afternoon in Anderson's office attended by Coast Guard and UPI representatives, UPI said that although it had agreed to release this particular film for pooling, it was doing so without prejudice to its position that media not represented at the scene when government facili ties are used are not entitled to access to material gathered and produced by media repre sentatives who are there.

"At the moment when officer Jesse Kedziora fi nally slipped up behind Reiswitz and snatched the shotgun," Geil said, "I was too worried about keeping him talking to see ex actly how it happened.
