Through a local photographer to take photographs of the trophy- presentation, and try and get these photographs on the AP and UPI wires. c. To obtain local coverage of the presentation in the Las Vegas area. The following is pertinent information concerning the presentation, and the personalities who will be present: Bruno Tortl. the American representative for Martini & Rossi who will make the presentation, will arrive in Las Vegas at noon on Saturday, November 12. He will stay at the Stardust Hotel. The race will be on November 13, and the story will be for release late that day. I suggest you contact Torti when he arrives. It might be best if you introduce yourself to him as the local representative of Ruder & Finn, since Martini & Rossifs ad agency here in New York is working with us. If there is some local dignitary whose aid can be enlisted for the presentation, it might prove helpful. 1*11 leave that to you, however.
