Description
Reporters scramble for the phones after White House Press Secretary Charles Ross (not pictured) announced that the Swiss had not as yet received a reply from the Japanese. During the rush, one of the first reporters to reach the door fell, and the others narrowly avoided piling up in the doorway. From the scrapbooks of Matt Connelly, Vol. 1.
