"When the story is in Bandung as it was last week we were able to have half a dozen men on the scene from Cairo, Washington, Tokyo, Manila and Hong Kong. News Chain Reaction "Almost every big story this year has set off a chain reaction of other news. London, Wash ington and Tokyo react quickly to something said or done in Paris, in Moscow or New Delhi. "Foreign news editor Phil Newsom and his staff keep con stantly in mind their responsi bility to make this news .under standable and interesting. "Thou sands of words must be com pressed into dispatches that fit the space and time specifications of newspapers and radio, v Johnson noted a gradual re laxation of consorship restric tions in Russia, but regretted failure so far to get an Ameri can reporter into the .Chinese Communist capital of Peiping. The "best team job" of report ing in recent months, he said, came on the resignation of Win ston Churchill. "Our London staff, under the guidance of bureau manager Gene Patterson, anticipated the news impact of this historic event," Johnson said. "Their ad vance copy, for release when Churchill stepped down, caught the ,epic sweep of the occasion. "For most of it, they allowed Churchill's own words, gathered from over the years, to tell the story, and they told it well." Harry R. Flory, general man ager of the U.P. communica tions, reported that radioprinter circuits established two years ag now supply news to 78 cit ies in 48 countries and territo ries.

Approximately 50,000 words daily, almost en tirely in Spanish, are sent simul taneously on this circuits to 44 cities in 19 countries and terri tories, he said. Joseph "L. Jones, vice-president and general European man ager, came the report that the U.P. has more television clients on the continent than all other agencies combined. The U.P. telephoto network also is the largest of its kind in Europe, he said. He said that the easing of re strictions on the other side of the Iron Curtain had made it possible for the U.P. for the first time to supply pictures from in side Russia, Hungary and Yugo slavia. : ; ' , Asiatic Clitnti ' Earnest Hoberecht, U.P. vice president and general manager for Asia, reported the U.P, now has clients in every country in that area outside the "Bamboo Curtain."

Curran, vice-president and general manager for South America, said the first city-to-city teletype circuit in Argentina ' was established in March. It runs between Buenos Aires and Mar Del Plata, where the daily La Manana now re ceives national and internation al news direct from U.P. head quarters in Buenos Aires.
