...idea that TTS might lead to more standardized news," says Santa Rosa (Calif.) Press-Democrat General Manager Dan Bowerman, "is a phony bugaboo. Papers have been getting leased-wire news for years, and they seldom do any fancy editing on it anyway, except for a local angle here & there." A.P. Traffic Executive Harry Montgomery ran a test of dailies taking TTS, found they not only played their stories differently, but had more time and manpower to concentrate on their own state and local news.

...cheers died away, Old Dan Reed was on his feet demanding a showdown. "I'm not surrendering!" he shouted, shaking his fist. "Let's get the vote now and see where you stand. Stand up like men!" The House stood up and cheered honest, stubborn Dan Reed. The Democrats, who appreciated the trouble he had caused the Republicans, cheered the hardest...
Enormous Save. But Dan Reed did give an all-important inch. Right after the session adjourned without a vote, he acknowledged that he would call another meeting of his committee, after all. He would do it in his own time-probably July 8-and it would not be a meeting about EPT. But Dan Reed knew, as Joe Martin knew, that once the Ways & Means Committee was in session, any member of the committee could move that EPT be taken up. And Joe Martin had enough committee votes in his pocket to send EPT to the floor over Dan Reed...
