NBC FEATURE January 22, 1964 NBC NEWS NOTES Welles Hangen, NBC News correspondent in Bonn, tells this anecdote, widely circulated in Western Europe, as an indication of the conditions of the railroad industry behind the Iron Curtain: "A Bulgarian railway man couldn't take it any more, and decided to end his life by lying down in the path of a scheduled train. He died of over¬ exposure. " * * * Whenever Jim Hurlbut, NBC News reporter in Chicago, views that natural phenomenon called the "northern lights," or, more technically, the Aurora Borealis, it brings back memories of his boyhood and, particularly, the circus. "There was one circus act," Hurlbut recalled recently on "Emphasis" (series of comment heard 40 times weekly on NBC Radio), "that consisted of a lady who flitted about, waving a vast quantity of diaphanous veils in fluttering, undulating ripples, highlighted by vari-colored spotlights. She called herself Rorie Borie Alice." * * * Bob Butterfield, a member of the NBC News crew assigned to cover Pope Paul's trip to the Holy Land, celebrated what will no doubt be the longest birthday of his life on Jan. 7. That was the day he embarked on a flight back to New York from Tel Aviv. On the flight, he picked up seven hours, giving him a 31-hour birthday. o PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10020
