Ambulance Drivers Often Risk Own Necks in Dangerous Jobs By VERLA RANSTROM Ambulance drivers frequently risk their in an effort to save other lives, Vern Savage, o'vner of Focatello's ambulance service, said today. In this side-line business for three years. Savage has two ambulances anrl some eight persons who are on call at specified hours. Savage and his employees hold other jobs, but their hours are such that two persons are on call 24 hours each day.

Requirements for an ambulance driver are that he have Red Cross first aid training and renew that training periodically and that he have a driver permit from the city. The-pay is low, and Savage says Networks to Substitute News After Far Eastern Fireworks By CYNTHIA I.OWRY AP TV-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) with the toughest jobs in television are the ones who must plan its news coverage. It is not exactly coincidental that the medium does its best reporting of events which can be anticipated far ahead of time and which go through on schedule. Thus, when events fail to follow their planned course, the situation is likely to get slightly hysterical. At this writing, it looks as if the cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit to Japan will increase TV's Far Eastern coverage --particularly its coverage by in- than diminish Both networks already had planned special news shows covering the President's Philippines and Formosa visits over the weekend, and these of course will be edited to provide room for developments in the Japanese demonstration situation.

(AP) A TraiUvays bus bound from Los Angeles to Miami, left Highway 80 during a rainstorm Friday and overturned. First reports said Ihe bus was attempting to avoid collision with another vehicle and about five cars it ran together. Six ambulances from Jackson sped to the accident scene between Clinton and Bolton, and brought about 25 persons to Jackson hospitals. There were no immediate of fatalities.

Turks to Encourage Foreign Investments ANKARA, Turkey (AP) Finance Minister Ekrem Alican said Saturday Turkey's new military government will do its utmost to encourage foreign invtsements as part of a new economic belt-tight ening. Alican announced that new stringent economic measures woulc be taken in the wake of huge debts incurred by the regime of ex-Premier Adnaii Menders. special news scheduled to report the Prcs ident's globe-trotting will be mon concerned with the place he didn' visit than with the places he did CBS was well prepared to covei he troubles in Japan: It sent 3C lours of tape ahead to Tokyo sc its cameramen could, catcl climbing in and out of ever plane.

Thursday, instance NBC's Frank Blair on the "To day" show chose to give us th report of events in Japan with telephone report from Cecil Brown The connection was so bad thi viewer could understand nothin Brown was saying and wishe Blair would just read us Ihe news ic business i more than breaks ven. It usually takes two or three min- tes from the time a call is re- eived until a driver is in the mbulance ready to move. Savage 'mes many calls and keeps a Iicck on the lapse of time. Once, said, it took exactly four min- tes from the time of a call until had traveled from his home at Willard, Alameda to Main and -enter in Pocatello. "It has never taken more a ivo minutes to get in gear," he aid, "except on cases we're call- to transfer where no lime clement is involved." Speed, a hazard in itself, has wrought many narrow escapes, but Savage says his drivers arc expert and have learned to watch out for other traffic which too of- en "pays r.o altcntion to a red ight or a siren." Calls are erratic, Savage says, and at times they may be swamped and at others will have hardly any.

His most memorable call was about two years ago when he delivered a baby for a passenger. He doesn't remember whether it was a boy or girl. Although Savage is the father of five children, ages 13 to he always had been the floor-pacing at-hirth father, and had had no experience to prepare him for his unusual task, "Everything turned out fine," he said, "and the doctor told me he didn't know whether (o pat me on the back or sue me." The largest percentage of calls, Savage says arc heart cases. Savage operates a service station al Fifth and Oak, and the ambulances an; housed there, lie entered that business when the previous owner, who warkd at a local mortuary, decided to sell out.
