AUFS Expert: Reporting Is 'Tough'
"Being a foreign correspondent is like being a bus driver, you have to keep moving to get paid," a veteran correspondent said yesterday.
Albert Ravenholt, American Universities Field Staff expert on the Far East, yesterday told members of a journalism class you have to be able to take the "gaff."
RAVENHOLT, WHO served as a correspondent in World War II and since 1948 has been a correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, said it is no job for a woman.
Strains and stresses on the correspondent are tremendous and only the physically and mentally conditioned can take it, he said.
The AUFS representative said that one year, he spent only weeks at home.
THE JOB IS ALSO hazardous, he said. During World War II, 16 per cent of the war correspondents were killed. Ravenholt said he had contracted malaria 18 times in the Far East and he could no longer get insurance.
Ravenholt said an opportunity to be in on history in the making is the one reason why foreign correspondents maintain their position.
RAVENHOLT ALSO EXPLAINED his formula on how to become a foreign correspondent.
First, he said, attend a journalism school, gain newspaper experience, learn to write well and learn the importance of news.
Second, learn to write so that anyone can read and understand your story.
Third, he said, you must develop a curiosity than never loses its spark. That spark, he said, will be needed to work 18 hours a day, seven days a week.
AUFS Staffer Stresses New Philippine Press
A major revolution in mass communications is developing today in Southeast Asia, Albert Ravenholt of the American Universities Field Staff said last night.
Ravenholt, who spoke on "The Press and Mass Communications in Southeast Asia" at a meeting sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, emphasized the rise of journalism in the Philippine Islands.
Ravenhold said that the Philippine Islands are the most developed in Southeast Asia. "They are at least 25 years ahead of the other countries." he said.
THE AUFS FAR EAST expert said that a major revolution is developing in the Philippines in readership and listenship. Ravenholt said this expansion is essential to the progress of regional and community development in all Southeast Asia.
He stated that the press became important in the Philippines with the arrival of the American soldiers on the Islands. After World War II the English language became common in most of the Philippine newspapers.
TODAY. THE PRESS is most influential around Manila, he explained. He said that there are six English newspapers in the Philippines and three in the Islands' native tongue. Ravenholt added that advertising is dependent a great deal on the Philippine press.
He said the development of tran-

sisters brought on the revolution in radio improvement in the Philippines. He called radio and television in that area "the newspapers of the air."

Ravenholt said he feels communications are beginning to open up, not just in the Philippines, but throughout Southeast Asia. He said that "We can expect that this revolution will move steadily ahead."
HE ADMITTED the communications in Southeast Asia are still inadequate. He said a low standard of reporting and a poor newsprint industry are mainly responsible for this.
Also, he said, the economic situation, especially in the Philippines, is a major concern. Their economy is primarily agriculture.
Ravenholt stressed that the press still holds an important position in Southeast Asia, especially among political figures. "There are very few men of consequence," he said, "who do not turn to newspapers to find out what is happening."

BONN — (UPI) — Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has postponed for one week his visit to the United States scheduled for Tuesday, it was announced today.
Crisis Postpones Adenauer Visit
The visit will take place Nov.14 and 15, the government information ministry said.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT did not give a reason for the postponement, but authoritative sources said the main reason is without doubt the crisis in Adenaauer's coalition government caused by security police last week against the news magazine Der Spiegel.
The German press charges the police action violated freedom of the press. The magazine, a frequent critic of the government, has been charged with treason for printing material allegedly obtained from military personnel for money.
Free Democratic members of Adenauer's coalition have threatened to walk out of the government if they do not receive a satisfactory explanation why their party was not told beforehand of the action.
Adenauer promised to announce his decision today on whether to accept the resignation offer made by Justice Minister Wolfgang Stammerberger. The justice minister offered to quit because he was not informed of the police move on defense ministry orders.
Authoritative sources said the latest developments in the Cuban crisis also played a part in causing the postponement. But internal troubles in Germany was the major cause, they said.

Soviet astronomer Nikolai Barabashov, writing in the Communist party newspaper Pravda, said the "seas" of Mars were "full of vegetation."
"They became green in spring and summer, brown in autumn and gray in winter," he said. "If the seas were not full of vegetation, the yellow dust of deserts would quickly fill them in and they would become the same color and brightness as the continents."
