Printed Pattern Iff r o e, ?'Vr mV v KM0' United Press, INS Merger Marks Biggest Move To Date In Newspaper World Editor's Note: Here is a review of the role of the United Press in world journalism for use in con nection with the consolidation of UP and INS. NEW YORK (UPD-The biggest development in the press associa tion business in the last 50. years was the consolidation last week of United Press and International News Service into a world news gathering organization known as United Press International. The other major American press association is the Associated Press, a cooperative type of or ganization. After the late E. W. Scripps had founded the United Press 50 years ago last June he said: "I consider the most valuable service I have rendered to my country has been the thwarting of plans of greater, abler and richer men than myself those plans be ing to estaonsn a monopoly ot news and hence a dominating in fluence over all the newspapers of the United States." Consolidation of the United Press and International News Service now has intensified the competitive coverage of the world news by bringing the two great American agencies into balance in terms of clients and resources. That is a matter of extreme im portance because a press associa tion probably influences the pub lics knowledge and opinion of what is going on in the world day by day more than any other single source. Press associations are in busi ness because few individual news papers have the capacity to sta tion newsmen in all the newsmak ing areas of the world. Only a press association can supply such coverage and make it available to newspapers, radio stations and other media of information. The AP was founded in 1892, the United Press in 1907 and the International News Service in 1909. From the outset, the United Press combatted monopoly and cartels in the gathering of its news. A man who made an im portant contribution to the young organization was its second presi dent, Roy W. Howard, who was given carte blanche by Scripps to run the service without interfer ence. The Associated Press shortly af ter the turn of the century had made agreements with a number of foreign press agencies such as Britain s Reuter, France s Havas, Italy's Stcfani, Germany's Wolff. They exchanged the news gath ered in i their separate countries and agreed not to sell news di rectly outside their own areas., Kent Cooper, general manager of AP, ended AP's alliance with the European news cartel in 1934. England's Baron Reuter had ap proached Howard in 1912 to dis cuss a switch of the exchange of news from Associated Press to an exchange between Reuter and United Press. Howard decided against it, rea soning that it would hamstring United Press and limit its growth. Instead he pushed ahead with building up a bureau network throughout Europe independent of foreign viewpoints. When World War I came in 1914. newspaper publishers tied in with the exchange cartel found them selves severely handicapped by the severing of news contacts between the German blocs and the Euro pean allies. They also found they were getting government "view points, not objective news. The independent UP bureaus meanwhile were rolling with their own coverage. The agency already had introduced and popularized the "interview" story with promi nent figures. To boost staff morale and give its stories more personal identity, the UP began putting by lines on its dispatches. By the use of legitimate "color" the service achieved freshness and readabil ity in its dispatches which set them apart. When Howard resigned in 1920, he was followed as UP president by his long-time friend and asso ciate, W. W. Hawkins. Within three years Hawkins went with Howard into the newspaper pub lishing business. He was succeeded by Karl A. Bickel who spurred the UP to an even stronger position. In the book, "Deadline Every Minute," written by Joe Alex Mor ris and published by Doubleday last year on the 50th anniversary of United Press, there is this passage about Bickel: "Bickel was always selling the United Press on his ramblings around the country but he was also infecting many of the editors he saw with something of his boundless enthusiasm for seeing the daily news report in the broad framework of history. "He never lost an evangelistic fervor about what the news of the day meant in the political and economic history of the world: and he never lost his firm conviction that any interference with the free flow of news throughout the world was a deadly blow to the progress of society." Hugh Baillie was the next UP president and for years this ag gressive and driving newsman di rected UP operations which reached their height of complexity and skill in the coverage of World War II and the Korean War. It was also during Baillie's tenure that the UP pioneered the supply ing of news to radio. As Morris said in his book: "Nobody ever mistook Baillie for what would later be described as an egghead. He approached the news and most other affairs dramatically, by action, by prod ding and striking out in many places where he could be reason ably sure of stirring a good story out of the bushes. 'Baillie was no armchair brass hat. He had the experience, the craftmanship and the drive of the good reporter, and as president he demonstrated a remarkable ability to turn up at the scene of action. If the world was enthralled by a king's decision to give up his throne for love, Baillie might be found collecting comment outside the palace gales. If there was a war on, Baillie studied the prob lems of reporters by putting on a tin hat and going to the front." Describing Frank H. Bartholo mew's taking over of the UP pres idency in 1955, Morris writes: Like earlier president's of the company, he was a newsman at heart as well as a skillful writer and editor. Unlike other presi dents, he had never worked in the New York office, and that fact was of importance in his climb to the top-management job. The Pa cific Coast Division, which he had directed for 30 years, was large, varied, and, in practice, more in dependent of New Y'ork headquar ters than any other United Press Division. The mere fact that he was comparatively remote and less di rectly under the domination of whatever strong personality was in the home office gave Bartholo mew greater personal identity and more room for executive growth. "Bartholomew fully understood this expanding pattern and was well equipped to direct it. He could and sometimes did handle any job in the service, but he had, too, a skill for coordinating the work of his subordinates, an ability to put the right executive in the right spot witn tun com mand of operations, a keen sense of client relations, and a knack for keeping an eye on many boiling pots. He emphasized that the first responsibility of management was to accent quality in tne news re port. He also launched a program designed to. release the full po tential of his executive statt.
