Everything was going smoothly in the press room. The press had started. At 2:25 Editor Eugene Shore had a phone message of great importance, namely a confirmation that the threatened strike at the Owens-Corning Fiberglas plant would not take place. This message, vitally concerning hundreds of people in the area, was considered by John Biddle and Gene Shore to be of sufficient importance to be delivered to as many readers as possible the earliest moment possible.

So while Biddle typed the BULLETIN to be set in type, Gene notified the shop foreman, Geary Bunn that a new front page would be necessary. Then the emergency activity of the change began, with a sequence easily and rapidly executed by the veteran newspaper force. The sequence was logical and the coordination perfect, every move thoroughly understood from long and expert in the day's work," and all, believe it if you will, with no more than five minutes lost by the great rolling presses!

But to the eyes of the uninitiated it appears miraculous. One of the D.aily News staff said, "Emergencies in a newspaper office are routine." But to the eyes of a newcomer much of the taken- for-granted force of the "teamwork" in the business is wonderfully evident in such a routine emergency! New York, Feb. gained few cents on average, enough to lift the market to a new high since last March 27 in the morning dealings today.

The presses were allowed to continue to run, for the papers going to subscribers at a distance must leave on schedule by train and truck. While the first several thousands of papers were being printed, the creation of a new mat for page one began. Messrs.

Biddle and Shore estimated the space to be required by the new headline and bulletin. The publishing force went into speedy action. That waiting form full of type was brought back for a reset. Compositors rearranged columns of type, shifting whole columns around to allow mote space on column one, the "spot" of page one.
