NBC NEWS BROADCASTING’S LARGEST NEWS ORGANIZATION LOUIS HEPP IS APPOINTED MANAGER OF NBC NEWS' PARIS BUREAU Louis Hepp has been appointed Manager of NBC News' Paris bureau, replacing Paul Archinard, who has retired. The appointment was announced by William R. McAndrew, Executive Vice President in charge of NBC News. Hepp was formerly assigned to the NBC News bureau in Nairobi, Africa. He has been associated with NBC News for the past 10 years in various assignments as a newsfilm photographer. Born in Athens, Greece, on Feb. 23, 1925, Hepp was educated in Athens and Vienna. He became interested in film work through his father, a film cameraman who still is active in movie production in Greece and occasionally for NBC News in Athens. Hepp has done motion picture work for German, Italian and Greek studios, and was cameraman for the activities of the royal family of Greece, before he joined NBC. He has ducked machine gun fire in Katanga, crawled through the brush filming rebel attacks in Angola, and stood up to threatening cannibals of the Baluba tribe, in his various news-gathering film assignments for NBC. He once spent an afternoon with African President Tshombe, teaching him to say "I do not speak English very well," for Tshombe's use in communicating sparingly with reporters. Hepp speaks Greek, Italian, German, French and English. He covered events for NBC News in the Congo, from the death of Lumumba to the downfall of Tshombe. Two years ago he took over the NBC News desk in Nairobi. (more) PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA NEW YORK, N. Y. 10020
