SECTION 2. PAGE 3 • PLA1NPEALER-HERALD. FRIDAY. JAMJAR\ 11. 19iS Nation/World / be a media event ByJoanHanauer UPI TV reporter NEW YORK - The three net­ works will offer live coverage of the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan -- an inaugural coverage custom that began when Harry Truman was sworn in by Fred M. Vinson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, for his second term on Jan. 20,1949. - It was estimated that 10 million people watched Truman's swearing-in through a special hookup between the East Coast and the Midwest. Beyond that was the wilderness, television-wise. For that first year of live televi­ sion coverage, Bryson Rush an­ chored the proceedings for ABC, although the term "anchor" was yet to be invented. He was described by Broadcasting magazine as the "video and aural announcer." Among those assisting him were Pauline La Concierge could well be a dying breed By Virginia Isbell United Press International ' , 1 PARIS -- Disguised as a clean­ ing lady, she is a professional spy. She may be a cook, a babysitter, a mailman or a traffic cop -- but is best known aSsa friendly snoop. She is "Lsr Concierge," and she's in trouble. The concierge, a special breed of live-in apartment building superintendents and once the guardian angel of all French households, seems doomed under the pressure of new social laws, electronic doorbells and modern cleaning services. A quarter of Paris's concierges ve died or deserted the profes­ sion in the past 20 years. It's a trend, especially in aris, which has more than half of the nation's 130,000 concierges," said concierge union President Jacques Simakis. The concierge traditionally scrubs hallways, delivers mail three times a day, puts out gar­ bage and screens and directs visitors. Because of, her rroles as con­ fidante, sno*|> or gossip;' police and taxmen seek her out as a source. But the concierge peeping out into the lobby to buttonhole suspicious-looking types is va fading institution. Electronic doorbells and inter­ coms provide cheaper security. Cleaning companies paid by the hour are progressively wiping out her last chore. Modern buildings do not even in­ clude the concierge's "loge," an apartment off the main lobby that was traditionally her only pay­ ment, and laws mandating regular wages have further cut in­ to the ranks. "They started paying me after 16 years' service," said Marie- Felicie Delafosse, 83, a concierge who retired last year after 40 years of duty. "I didn't ask for anything -- it was fun, keeping the children, knowing all the families. Now there's no concierge and I'm just a tenant." A new type of concierge has emerged, for whom the job is a short-term survival ploy rather than a calling. Many are young unemployed people or transient immigrants who never establish intimate ties with tenants. "The woman who was once like a member of the family, a nanny, an in-house soup kitchen, a kind of social worker for the whole apart­ ment building, became just a janitor," said the concierge union's Simakis. \ Paris's 35,000 unionized con­ cierges have threatened to clog ci­ ty streets with garbage this spring in a demand for more pay and defined hours. "We're paid a pittance, 60 per­ cent of minimum wage," said Jeanne Crocfer, a novice con­ cierge. "It's downright exploita­ tion. They call it a part-time job, but you have to be there all day, watching and doing chores." "They say it can all be done by machines, but they can never take the place of a person doing the job," said concierge Claudine Poudenas, a former real estate agent. Statistics do prove her point. Buildings without a cbncierge have higher crime rate. "Their presence is indispensable, ir­ replaceable," said a government spokesman in charge of security. Haudine Poudenas, a former real estate agent, looks after a 544- apartment complex. She, like other new concierges, took the job because she had to. "I needed a home for my 4-year- old *son," she said in her sophisticated Paris accent."After 18 months of unemployment 1 couldn't afford to look any longer- Frederick, in her pre-NBC days, and Martin Acronsky. Doing the honors for NBC that first television inauguration were Ben Grauer and John Cameron Swayze. At CBS, tlte man in charge was Douglas Edwards, who recalls spending a lot of time talking about the weather. Inauguration day this year will come on Jan, 21, because Jan. 20 -- the traditional date -- falls on a Sunday. President Reagan will have a quiet, untelevised swearing-in on Sunday as well. Coverage of the Monday events will be a lot more extdnive than in the early days of "aural" an- uncers. ABC alone will use 21 news correspondents and 37 cameras in Washington and around the nation and the world. One of them will ride in the in­ augural parade in the convertible carrying ABC White House cor­ respondent Sam Donaldson. The network will employ 120 telephone lines in Washington, leading into four control rooms, two of them housed in trucks so they can be mobile. The presidential timetable calls for Reagan to leave the White House shortly after 11 a.m., with the swearing-in ceremonies at noon, to be followed by the in­ augural address. Reagan will lunch at the Capitol, then return to the White House for the inaugural parade. Ttje parade is expected to last abouhwhour and IS minutes. On ABC, Peter Jennings and David Brinkley will anchor from Washington, with help from ^Donaldson, commentator George Will, senior political correspon­ dent Sander Vanocur Washington correspondent Brit 4lume, chief Pentagon correspondent John McWerthy and ABC congressional correspondent Charles Gibson. They not only will cover the in­ auguration and inaugural parade, but will fill in the gaps with reports and reaction from all over, discussing what is expected of President Reagan in the next four years, what problems he faces, what he can hope to ac­ complish and how he will go about it. Coverage will begin at 11 a.m., and is expected to end at about 4 p.m. Tom Brokaw will preside at NBC, starting at 10 a.m. and runn­ ing until 4 p.m. John Chancellor will join Brokaw for the morning ceremonies and Connie Chung will step in for the afternoon parade. Morning coverage will assess how Reagan delivered on his 1981 in­ augural promises and how the cabinet and White House staff will shape up for the next four years. After the swearing-in, a laundry list of correspondents -- Chris Wallace, Andrea Mitchell, Marvin Kalb, Irving R. Levine, Carl Stern, Ken Bode, Fred Francis and Lisa Myers -- will report on foreign policy, the economy, the future of the judiciary, Reagan's political problems, the Pentagon and Congress. Reports also will originate from around the country and overseas on everything from the outlook on farming to the views of our allies. At CBS, coverage will begin at 11 a.m., anchored by Dan Rather, who will be joined by Bill Moyers, Bruce Morton, JBpb Schieffer, Lesley Stahl, BUI Plante, Susan Spencer and Phil Jones. It also will last through the inaugural parade before returning to regularly scheduled programing. The CBS Morning News, NBC's Today show ahd ABC's Good Mor­ ning, America all wUl originate from Washington on Inauguration day, and CBS plans coverage of some of the balls and other festivities on its 2 ^a.m.-6 a.m. Night Watch.
