    Page. 29 HARVEY DIEDERICHt Will you have enough help if this new man is hired? DON ENGLISH* I would say to get us by the next few months, HARVEY DIEDERICH* In addition to the new man, you?╟╓d need extra help to get you thru the convention season, right? DON ENGLISH* Not to do creative work, but to do the load that?╟╓s ex- pected of us right now, LL| .FISHER* ?╟≤r, Cahirman, I was on the phonej I think the record showr that there has been in the last three or four years practically /^*\a1j$oubling in the amount of photographs and with this, the captions I Liana the writing that exists today and with nog too much a bigger force and that it?╟╓s apparent to all of us that there is not an up-to-date news reel on this community! they?╟╓re not up to date in color trans- UJparencies that a News Bureau would normally be required to have! V?╟Ñythere's not a bank of up to date black and white stills on the entire community which this community would expect to have* MS ? 'fit FREEMAN* I disagree to that, Mr. Fisher, LEE FISHER* They don?╟╓t exist to my knowledge and I have discussed it with several fellows on the committee, and they agree that it doesn't 's*/ exist and that the reason it doesn't exist is that they are so involved in doing the work that they?╟╓re called upon to do; I?╟╓m not going to B criticize anybody on what they?╟╓re called upon to do for this community but there just aren?╟╓t enough people in the organization to permit them to go for the creative projects that are very important to us all. HANiCiKOVILLt: eliminate? In the eyes of these people, do they think they can HARVEY DIEDERICH* That?╟╓s what I was hoping to determine. HANK KOVELL* I, whenever possible, when we had the contest, called the news papers, and you know what newspapers tell us, they tell us the photographer is busy and tied up and they epa.it spare one, and we can?╟╓t tell them that they(re lying, when they say a photographer isn?╟╓t available, even though we may be pretty sure they can send one, so we call the News Bureau and a lit of the things that we do down there certainly cannot be classified as news wofcthy, nationally, but neverthe- less the people we work for want photo coverage and they want it in the Las Vegas Sun and in the Review Journal and I can for one, and cannot hire a commercial photographer as long as we?╟╓re paying these funds to the News Bureau, I think, of oourse, that there?╟╓s a lot of bonus features that you get out of the News Bureau and the Chamber above the mere taking of pictures and the Fremont uses it probably more than any- body downtown. But still we cannot hire a commercial photographer and we will have to continue to call on them to take pictures which are strictly local. And we cannot ever get two miles out of this town.
