more picture stories showing
the cost Of ornaments and
the advantages Of disarma-
ment were sent to all posts.
A total Of 1900 prints went
out on these three stories
alone.
The features section assisted
with selected materials, in
GLIDING reprints Of illustrated
articles on disarmament by
widely known authors. Quo
tations from the speech also
were incorporated in articles
by star members. The speech
was still alive a year later
when the pamphlets unit
shipped out the text for
Peace Is Still More Than a
Word" to mark the anniver-
sary Of its delivery.
Turning attention toward
atomic energy a few months
later, the features section sent
out 40 articles, picture stories,
science briefs and articles
from January through May.
Also from the section went a

tial source Of power.
The atomic energy speech
was given fast news coverage
in the same way as the ASNE
speech and similar pictorial
coverage. More than 5000
photographs, plastic plates
(ready to : use reproduction
plates for the provincial
press), and negatives were
sent out the first week after
delivery, and the stream con-
tinues, with at least two
features going out each week.
Plastic plates have played
a great part in getting pic
lures to rural newspapers
because they require no ex-
pensive processing for publ
cation. In all Of the Pred-
dents speeches played up by
the information agency, 20
subjects have been converted
into $4,000 plastic plates for
distribution to 80 overseas
posts which service upwards
Of 10000 foreign newspapers.
Feature photographs Of these
same subjects have been made
into 1000 prints and sent to

The two speeches by the
President that have received
most overseas attention were
the April, 1858, Highway Of
Peace" address to the Amer
lean Society Of Newspaper
Editors, believed to have been
"the most publicized speech
in history" and the peaceful
uses Of atomic energy speech
last December to the United
Nations General Assembly.
Nearly 5 million pamphlets
have been distributed in SO
languages on the first speech,
and on the latter, 1894 05,
most Of them illustrated.
Copies Of the Highway Of
Peace" speech were In the
hands Of the information
agency before its delivery, so
that the wireless file was able
to start transmission without
delay. Also sent out by wire
less were the material for a
two-page handful on the
speech, a backgrounder PAM
phlet. and suggestions for
four posters illustrated with
pictures already in overseas
files.
Three posters were trans
mitted by radiophoto on April
II. Photos Of President Essen
hover delivering his speech
were air mailed to all USIS
posts 10 hours after he spoke.
Then the picture story and
features sections started a
steady stream Of materials
implementing many phases of
the speech. In less than a
week, the former section
rushed a 2S-picture story COW
ering chronological highlights
of the speech to the Philip
pines. There it was used in
four USIS magazines pub
hshed in 10 languages and
distributed throughout the
Far East. Several days later,
the same picture story was
sent to all posts around the
