Eisenhower to Meet President
Of Tunisia on Warship at Sea
By United Press International
President Eisenhower, like
many travellers before him
over the past 400 years, is
steering clear of Tunisia on
his Mediterranean tour. For
travellers of old, the reason
for skipping Tunisia was the
Barbary pirates. For Eisen
hower it's lack of time.
Ike will meet Tunisia's pio.
1 man in a warship on the
sea Tunisian pirates once
dominated. Like those pirates,
President Habib Bourguiba
knows exactly what he wants
and to devil with the risks.
Bourguiba, S3, was educated
by: the French, outlawed by
the French, imprisoned by the
French, elected when Tunisi
ans threw out the French.
What he wants is Tunisian
prosperity, dignity, authority,
complete independence.
Nation of Farms
So far, he has only a thin
lice of all of this. Indepen
dence from the French' be
came a reality in 1957, but
only, a political one. Prosper
ity is still a dream.
Tunisia is a farming nation
In 1956 it had 9,794 tractors
and 201,400 horses, donkeys,
and mules. It has more metals
than it can use (phosphate de
posits are "practically inex
haustible"), but nothing for
fuel but dreams of oil. . It ex
ports wine, olive oil and min
erals and imports practically
everything else.
About half of Tunisia's 3,'
800,000 Moslems are under 20
years of age; the birth rate is
nearly three times the death
rate. The Louisiana - sized
country is half Sahara Desert,
half fertile Mediterranean
country.
Phoenicians colonized it;
Carthage, the second city of
the Roman Empire and "prob
ably the most corrupt city of
the West, was born and died

East-West Barrier
Tunisia has been an inter
national pingpong ball for a
thousand years. Italy's Andrea
Doria once led a fleet for
Spain's Charles V against the
Turks who ruled it. France
took it over in 1862 to keep
Italy out, and in return for
giving Britain a free hand in
Cyprus.
Halfway between Gibraltar
and Suez, Tunisia forms the
barrier between East and
West in the Mediterranean.
Its personality ' is suitably
split: Arabis is the official
tongue but French "is not con
sidered a foreign language."
It tossed out French troops
last year but had to let them
keep the huge naval and air
base at Bizerte.
Arab in the cities, Berber
in the mountains; piratical by
history (when the Deys and
Beys of Tunis unleashed their
Barbary Coast pirates to ter
rorize the Mediterranean) and
earnest and ambitions for the
future. ' That's Tunisia, and
President Eisenhower will
hear but not see - this time.

In the Day's News
- By FRANK JENKINS
From New York: i
Two networks say their
technicians in New York
"dubbed in" some of "the
crowd noises heard in televis
ion coverage of President Ei
senhower's recent trip to
Europe. The American Broad
casting Co. and the Columbia
Broadcasting System acknowl
edge that in a few instances
recorded crowd noises were
used where the real sounds
were lacking or failed to fit
in with other film. The Na
tional Broadcasting Co. says
it used only the sound which
actually accompanied the
President during his travels.
An ABC spokesman ex
plains: "When Mr. Eisenhower
was traveling into Bonn (in
West Germany) from the air
port by car, we had only a
man with a hand-held camera
riding in a truck to cover him,
where before he had natur
al sounds of the crowd. You
obviously can't suddenly go
into dead silence. So you use
a little crowd noise or per
haps a little music.'

LET'S put it this way:
A show is a SHOW.
A news event is a news
event.
They are quite different.
The purpose of a show is to
entertain. The purpose of a
newscast, whether TV or ra
dio, is to INFORM. So it is
reasonable that the techniques
of the broadcasters, whether
radio or TV, should vary ac
cording to what they are
broadcasting.
T70R example:
A An important element of
President Eisenhower's visit
to Europe was HOW HE WAS
RECEIVED. If he was receiv
ed by the crowds with wild en
thusiasm, it was one thing. If
the crowds listened to him in
silence -if, to use the patois
of the reviewers at a show
that fails to catch on, they
"sat on their hands" -it was
something quite different.
That is to say:
The spontaneous and ob
viously genuine enthusiasm
with which the crowds .in
Europe greeted President Ei
senhower was a vitally im
portant part of the story. If,
through lack of proper equip
ment or failure of the equip
ment being used, the broad
caster had failed to include
the sound of the cheering and
his broadcast had conveyed
the impression that our Presi
dent was being received in
silence, it would have amount
ed to DISTORTION of the
news.
If, on the other hand, there
had been NO cheering and
the broadcaster had "dubbed
it in" just to make a better
show, be would have been
equally guilty of distortion.
ANOTHER example:
Suppose a candidate for an
important office-say the Presi
dency of the U.S. is making
a speech. Suppose he is re
ceived by the audience with
obvious enthusiasm. Suppose
in the middle of his speech,
just as he has made an im
portant statement on a highly
controversial issue, the sound
truck or the transmitter broke
down, leading the hearer to
believe that his statement was
received in stony silence.
In that event, the broad
caster would be justified in
dubbing in" canned applause.
In fact, he would be subject
to criticism if he didn't, for he
