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

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.

The cabbie demanded and
got $100 each.
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."

thony J. 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.
