UPI's Earl Johnson would go along with a limited amount of "pooling," but added flatly that wire services have to cover to serve many individual papers. (In this, they parallel the networks which have to bring the story to affiliate stations country -wide on tv and radio.) Said Earl Johnson: "It was not the number of reporters who were present which permitted Jack Ruby to shoot Lee Oswald. It was the fact that the police permitted Ruby to be there. "
Fortunately, the slow grind of the democratic processes will also allow time to pass before a final judgment is rendered, when the various press, broadcast. Bar associations and law-enforcement groups finally agree on what should be done. Last week, too, the President's Committee on the Warren Report had its first meeting on ways to carry out the Warren Commission 's recommendations. The committee says it will not announce meetings or make comment until after summary report to LBJ.
Not so fortunately, the prospect of an inaugural only a few months away, coupled with intensified jitters about presidential safety, could bring on some sort of interim curtailment via pooling of news coverage. It would be only human for the FBI and the Secret Service, both scolded for ineptitude in protecting President Kennedy, to pass some of the grief on to the news media.
Another conplicating factor is the lingering hostility engendered at the national political conventions — when print media accused the broadcasters of snagging the best accommodations, and blocking press reporters with their equipment and flying squads of cameramen and. walkie-talkie reporters.
About two weeks ago, before the Warren Report broke over news media heads, there was a quiet tussle here between press and electronic newsmen over accommodations for the inaugural parade in January.
Richard C. Crutchfield, chief of design and engineering of the District of Columbia's Department of Buildings and Grounds, heard requests from both sides at separate meetings. NBC's Bill Monroe let off with a request for even more room at the coming inaugural, than in I96I because NBC will cover in color, and color camera equipment needs more space. CBS and ABC spokesmen immediately demanded the same amount of rooraj they, too, plan color coverage.
The Pre-Inaugural Committee has granted the requests for increased room. But network pleas for a pooled-camera space within the presidential stand itself, for over-the-shoulder shots at presidential visitors were left in some doubt. Press photographers have been allo'/red in the out of the stand for visitor shots during past inaugurals — but space for a tv camera setup will depend on final plans for construction of the stand, which are selected on conpetitive basis.
All of the plans are subject to final decision by the Inaugural Committee . They may also be subject to the findings of the President's special Warren Report Committee.
