Hassle develops over films of stricken British ship
NEW YORK (UP!) United
Press International made its
exclusive pictures and news-
film available to the Associated
Press and television networks
under protest Thursday after
being threatened with a re
straining order which would
have prevented UPI's distribu

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.
When UPI learned that a
Coast Guard plane was expect
ed to touch down in Halifax
early Wednesday. morning, the
Montreal cameraman was sent
to Halifax and arrangements
made with the Coastguard for
him to board the plane. Before
he was permitted to board, he
was required by Coast Guard
officers in Halifax to sign an
agreement to pool his product.
He signed without knowledge
of UPI headquarters.

Attorney Eugene Anderson,
UTI for the first time reached
the cameraman by telephone
after he returned from Halifax
from a second flight. He con
firmed that he had signed an
agreement to pool.
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

access to material gathered
and produced by media repre

Fulbright sees
need to bloster
5. Vietnamese
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen
J. William Fulbright, D-Ark.,
said today the United States
should do what it could to bol
ster the new regime in South
Viet Nam before considering
any long-range plans for South
east Asia.
Fulbright, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, told a reporter the
main hope for the latest Snigon
regime lay in full support and
encouragement from the United
States.
Otherwise, he said, it would
have Wile incentive to try to
bring stability and order to the
war-torn nation
Fulbright declined to com
ment on Senate Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield's pro
posal for full consideration of
neutraliznlion as an eventual
solution in Viet Nam. He left
little doubt he regarded neu
tralization as no solution for
the present problem.
Mansfield's proposal touched
off nn airing of the Vietnamese
situation in Senate debate.
It drew fire from Senate
GOP Leader Everett M. Dirk
son. 111., and Sen. Jacob K.
Jnvits, H-N.Y., Thursday.
Mansfield replied that he was
not advocating neutralization
but said, "wo should at least
consider the proposal."
Mansfield, in a speech
Wednesday, said the neutraliza
tion proposal of French Presi
dent Charles dc Gaulle should
not be rejected out of hand.
He said Do Gaulle's plan
should bo considered as a pos
sible "new approach" to the
over-all problem. Mansfield
also suggested the United
States think nhout the possibil
ity of withdrawing its forces
from South Vict Nam.
Dirkson told a news confer
ence thnt neutralization had
produced a "bitter experience"
In Laos and a "kick in the
face" for tho United States in
Cambodia.
Jnvits told tho Senate: "The
American people back what is
being dono In South Viet Nam
they are not In any mood to
back away. If they are, they
should not be. We are taking
casualties, but the alternatives
are far more dire."

School in Milwaukee held

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPI) -The
footsteps clicked down the
long, steely quiet corridors ot
Audubon Junior High School
Occasionally they stopped in
front of a door. Then they
moved on again.
It was one of the longest
hours of Principal Phillip H.
Geil's 63 years as he matched
step for step with an angry
young man waving a shotgun.
And during the whole trek of
terror, Gcil placed himself be
tween the young man and the
classrooms to protect the chil
dren inside.
For that hour the entire
school was paralyzed, class
bells turned off, doors locked,
halls echoing to the footsteps of
just eight men as Robert Reis
witz, 18, Milwaukee, held the
principal and six policemen at
bay.
Demands Girl's Release
The terror began when Reis-
witz walked into the principal's
office with the gun and demand
ed that his 15-ycar-old girl
friend be released from class so
he could "drive her to California."
Ceil refused. The youth lev
eled the shotgun at him and or

side the school office.
Other school personnel called
police, shut off the dismissal
bells and on the public address
system broadcast an alarm and
warning to lock classroom
doors. Geil and the boy paced
the corridors, the boy peering
through windows in search of
his girl.
At one point school authori
ties brought the girl out to plead
with Reiswitz to surrender.
When he refused, she was taken
away.
After the ordeal, Geil, who
headed six schools before tak
ing over Audubon when it
opened five years ago, said
simply:
"My job was to see he
couldn't get anywhere he could
harm -the kids."
He said the youth "was wav
ing the gun around at the police
like this stuff you see on tele
vision."
Kept Reiswitz Talking
"I was able to get him talk
ing," he said. "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. He was
nervous and kept fingering the
trigger."
Gcil said he was not threat
ened by Reiswitz personally, al
though the boy shouted at police
"stay way from me," and cov
ered them and Geil with the
ffun.
Reiswitz had pleaded guilty
to burglary charges in nearby
Waukesha County and been
brought into the city Wednesday
night by deputies to show them
where he allegedly cached loot.
He made a break for freedom.
Thursday he said he stole a car
from a relative and showed up
at the school. Two rifles and
shells for the unloaded shotgun
later were found in the car.
Milwaukee police planned to
bring charges against him to
day. Waukesha County charged
him In connection with the es

Sen. Kennedy
doesn't believe
LBJ is shoo-in
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sen.
Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, D
Mass., disagrees with many
prominent Democrats who feel
President Johnson is a shoo-in
for election. He believes John
son will win, but not without a
fight.
Cautioning against over-optimism
by his party, Kennedy
said today there will be a
"very strenuous, a hard cam
paign" regardless of whom the
Republicans nominate to op
pose Johnson.
Some Democrats have pre
dicted that Johnson will win
handily over any GOP con
tender. They include Senate
Democratic Whip Hubert Hum
phrey, Minn., and Sens. Wayne
Morse, Ore., Harrison Wil
liams, N.J., and Abraham A.

brother of the late president,

Saturday George Washington's
Birthday., He is up for re-election
this' year but observers
doubt he will have any trouble
holding on to his Senate seat.
Asked if he agreed with fel
low Democrats like Ribicoff
who said Johnson would win
an "overwhelming victory"
Kennedy said only that he was
"hopeful about the outcome."
"I feel the Democrats will be
successful," he said.
Without venturing a guess on
the name of the GOP nominee,
Kennedy said "There never is
an easy Republican candidate
and any Democrat should as
sume that."

carried the late President into
each campaign "running

Kennedy was asked how he
felt about the possibility his
brother, Atty. Gen. Robert F. i
Kennedy, might be the vice
presidential nominee on the
Democratic ticket.
"Bob's whole life has been
devoted to public service as
the President's was," Kennedy
said. "He wants to continue to
be active in public life, serve
the party and carry out the
ideals of the President in any
way that will be helpful."
Whether this would entail ap
pointive or elective office, he
said, "only time will tell."
