MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, August 7, 1958 7A Cost of Covering Middle East Uprisings Expensive (Editors note: This dispatch ws requested by a United Press International client. This editor, following day-to-day develop ments In the Middle East crisis, became intrigued with tPI Cor respondent Dan Gllmore's tazicab ride across the desert, the flow of I PI correspondents into the crisis area and the wordaee re quired to report events. He wanted to know something about cosu. London (LTD The cost of covering war and crisis is an expensive business today. A 600-mile taxi ride across the desert ... a chartered airplane ride . . . telephone calls at $3.40 a minute . . . $100 "urgent press" rate cables . . . they all add up. These were some of the Items involved in covering the Middle East flareup in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Railroad Worker Wondering If He Will Be Next in Cutbacks (Editor' note: Much has been written about the financial plight of the American railroads, but less about the men who run the the trains what the future holds for them, how they feel about the situation, and what railroad management is doing to enlist young men to revitalize the In dustry. The following dispatch from the nation's rail hub deals with these questions.) By LARR1C MORRONE UPI Correspondent Chicago (UPD The railroad worker of today wonders whether, he'll be next. He's seen employment al ready cut to a record low of about one million persons. He's seen the colorful gandy dancer replaced by an auto matic spike machine. He's seen the legendary towerman replaced by a board of push buttons. And, in the railroad indus try's desperate struggle to get over its financial sickness, lie's seen the diesel engine push the steam locomotives ff the rails. He's watched the roundhouse disappear. 'He's witnessed the consoli dation of small-town rail de pots that once gave even the tiniest hamlet a link to the outside world. So the railroad worker na turally wonders when his time is coming. A Dying Business Engineers, conductors and brakemen interviewed by United Press International said that as far as they're concerned the rail industry is a dying business. They gave their names but asked that they not be pub lished. A 65-year-old veteran engi neer said: "The railroads of today and the railroads of yesterday are complete strangers." Trucks and planes have tak en over from the trains, said this railroader of 42 years' service. "The railroads are hanging on by their teeth. Now we are just waiting to see what happens to us." He said 'the industry no longer offers the opportunity to young men that it once did, adding: "If I had a son that wanted to go into railroading I'd do everything in my power to make sure he didn't. The hours are irregular, the pro . motion slow and the pay too low for the responsibility." Little Opportunity A conductor for a leading rail line said he also felt that the modern day railroad of fers young naen little oppor tunity. "Years ago," he said, "there were more jobs to shoot for. Sure the seniority was there but at least the jobs were, too. Now, with the automa-i tion and consolidation, they don't have half the jobs avail able." A 56-year-old brakeman for another large line said that if he had it to do over again Theyll Do It Every a ilN&LE ONE THdT IT) CAUL PRETTY IF SOU ASK ME. THE OWLV THIN THEVVE GOT 15 NElvVE A Dpnwpn GIRL WOULDN'T BE C4 LIGHT DEAO SHOWING HERSELP OFF UKE TH4T YAW 1111 Business for Wire Services Immediately after the Iraqi revolution July 14, Daniel F. Gilmore, United Press Inter national Rome manager, and Dieter Hespe, UPI photogra pher normally based in Frank furt, were ordered iiom Bei rut to Baghdad. The problem was: How to get there. There was no Beirut-Baghdad air, rail or ship service. They hailed a taxi. The cabbie took them from Beirut, to the Lebanese-Syrian border and then quit. They hitched a ride on a potato truck to Damascus. In the Syrian capital they found another cabbie who was willing to risk the ride over the desert when the only roads are cow paths and the bleached bones of animals re he would not go into- rail roading, "and if I had son who wanted to go into the industry at any level I'd give him a good paddling." Railroad management, on the other hand, wants young Boy, Thought Dead Shows Recovery Greenville, S.C. UPD A 10-year-old boy who had been given up as dead recovered to day from an appendectomy. The youth, Warren Crosby Hagood of Greenville, was found prostrate behind a serv ice station Tuesday, authori ties said. Station attendants, believing him dead, sent him to a funeral home. Members of the mortuary staff detected signs oft life and summoned police. The youth was rushed to a hos pital. Doctors found the boy was suffering from acute appendi citis and operated immediate ly. His condition was reported "fair" and medical attendants said chance of recovery were good. Even Flower Show No Longer Sacred London (UPD A British housewife complained today not even the cozy ' world of the village flower show is safe from infiltration by the gro- tesqueries of modern art. Freda Rick, in a letter to the National Federation of Women's Institutes, demand ed whether anything is sa cred. "I have found myself con fronted with flowers arranged in old boots, top hats, and on one occasion an old skull . . ." Mrs. Rick said. "I do not recall anything so shatter ing, however, as a solitary rose clutched Carmen-fashion in a pair of dentures. Albany Youth Dies As Wreck Result Hood River (UPD A 19-year-old Albany youth died Wednesday night from in juries suffered Sunday when a car in which he was a pas senger went out of control and rolled over several times near Cascade Locks on High way 30. The youth is Leland Dale Plogg, son of Mr.- and Mrs. Carl Plogg Sr., of Albany. Two other teen-agers who were in the car, one of them the driver, escaped with minor injuries. Survivors include the par ents, three brothers and sister. Time WUO EVE THE. IflDV THEY X BLACKSMITHS I 7 PLAY UP TO .

The correspondents bought water jugs, filled them with lemonade and started out. But the time they reached Bagh dad, the 620-mille trip from Beirout had cost the two UPI men 'a total of $272. Then there was the prob lem of getting the story and pictures of the revolt out of Baghdad uncensored. Routine dispatches were filed under strict censorship and were delayed from 24 to 36 hours. While Gilmore worked for two days reconstructing the story of the revolution and Hespe took and bought pic tures, UPI correspondents An- men. At the' executive level railroad men think one of the things wrong with the indus try is the lack of young blood, and they've begun to invade the college campuses, for bright young prospects. Willard Dinnella, employ ment supervisor for the New York Central railroad, said it's high time the industry started to compete for its share of the cream of the col lege crop. "Railroads have been miss ing the boat in this respect for years," he said, adding that as a result the industry is finding itself top-heavy with older men in high level jobs. He said the situation stems from a period extending from the depression to the end of World War II when the rail roads did very little hiring at management level. Seeking Certain Types "Now, years later, the In dustry is realizing it has few young men to take up the slack," he said. George Gillully, personnel director for the Rock Island lines, echoed that opinion. He estimated that more than 40 per cent of the Rock Island's supervisors were 50 years of age or older. Gillully explained that the railroad is seeking certain types of men. "We'd prefer the type that has a definite interest in rail roading," he said, "a young man who as a boy always wanted to be a railroad engi neer or had a basement full of model trains." Railroad recruiters are hav ing their problems there, too. Several placement directors at colleges throughout the country have said that young men are reluctant to embark on a railroad career. Fred L. Hefferon, business placement director at North western University, said young college graduates seem to hesitate because they fear the well-known stiff seniority system of the railroads and the publicized financial weak nesses. Chance lo Move Ahead "The young graduates seem to have more confidence in the booming industries espe cially the aviation field," he said. "They feel that they have a chance to move ahead faster in the other fields." Gillully said it is the job of the railroads and the purpose of the campus interviews to show young men that the in dustry is interested in having them and that there is a real future for them. "Railroads are here to stay, he emphasized. "It is the job of the railroads either to find young men within their own companies or go out and compete with other large industries for their share of potential management." .By Jimmy Hatlo SPE4KNG OF BE4LTTV JUDGES- HIRES THE ONE-HORN, OMEH PURPLE PEOPLE CHE4TERS WE HAVE IN THIS JOINT ? ?

Cavendish and Larry Collins were working to help them back to Beirut. They chartered a private airplane to make a single trip to Baghdad and back. The cost including liberal "gifts," ran to S2.350, but because other newsmen went along the UPI share was $850. The "UPI special" return ed to Beirut- the same day carrying Gilmore's uncensor ed dispatches and Hespe's first pictures. -Telegraph Circuits Jammed But the telegraph circuits between Beirut and London, the main relay point for news bound for the United States, were jammed with stories about the Lebanese insurrec tion. So in the interests of speed, Gilmore's dispatches and Hespe's pictures were air freighted to Rome on the first available commercial air lin er. From Rome, the news stor ies were sent to London over the UPI European teletype network and from London by radio teletype to New York at 60 words a minute. Hespe's pictures were radioed from Rome to London and New York. Thus, from the time Gil more left Rome and Hespe left Frankfurt until their stories and pictures moved on wires in the United States, it cost $764 for their transporta tion, $850 for the plane char ter, $9 for air freight charges, $54.30 to radio one picture to New York and London and $123 for five days at hotel rooms. That bought the total to $1,800:30 not counting their salaries, incidental expenses and special insurance taken out by UPI. An Expensive Insurrection Few news stories have equalled the Lebanese insur rection in terms of propor tionate cost to new agencies A 500-word dispatch from Beirut to London at the reg ular "press" rate cost $35 7 cents a word. But after the U.S. Marines landed in Beirut July 15, the flood of correspondents in and the flow of copy out became so great that telegraphic serv ices between Beirut and the outside world began to bog down. Reporters, who cannot wait up to 10 hours for their copy to be delivered, began to use "urgent press rate at just under 20 cents a word. When urgent press began taking several hours for de livery, they resorted to the telephone at $3.40 a minute to London. "Connections frequent ly were so bad. it could and did take 20 minutes $68 or more to dictate a 500-word dispatch. And UPI correspond ents in Beirut have as many as a dozen dispatches a day Correspondents in Beirut also called Paris, Rome, Zur ich, Frankfurt and New York trying to clean communica tion difficulties. Sometimes it took calls to three points to clear a single message. JUST LIKE A HUSBAND Tulsa, Okla. (UPD Wil liam S. Clark forgot one de tail when he raced off to the hospital in his car after his expecting wife got the mes sage Wednesday. Halfway to the hospital, he realized he had forgotten Mrs. Clark. He went back to get her, and their seven-pound boy was born at the hospital. The gigantic Krupp steel and- munitions industry in Germany began as a small iron forge in 1848.
