Description
Original camera footage edited for broadcast for KNTV San Jose Channel 11 news. Includes national, local, and sports coverage. The broadcast script for this date has not survived.
Reel 1 (silent): Shots of the town of Alviso, near San Jose. Church, small shopping area, ramshackle houses, houseboat, fields, junk piles, many houses, the Alviso railroad station, railroad tracks, Day n nite club, restaurant, gas storage tanks, San Francisco Bay, T & D Enterprises Welding & Fabrication.
Reel 2:
Segment 1 (sound): Man in suit interviewed in his office. "Well, if we were to have a strike at Western Electric, it wouldn't affect telephone service to the subscriber at all." Reporter: "Do the people at Western Electric feel that this strike is in fact pending?" "Well, it's very difficult to say at this stage of the game. We are still bargaining, and there's always a possibility of a strike when you're in a bargaining situation." Reporter: "Has there been a feeling of discontent in this particular area regarding wages for telephone installers?" "Uh, I don't believe so. No more than you'd normally get at the expiration of a contract."
Segment 2 (sound): Man interviewed in his office. "Bob, as of now the hospitals that have been confirmed as being represented by me are as follows: San Jose Hospital, Alexian Brothers Hospital, Campbell Community Hospital, Community Hospital of Los Gatos-Saratoga, The Doctors General Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, Wheeler Hospital of Gilroy, the Sarah Medical Hospital, and O'Connor Hospital. I presume there will be others, that I will be representing one or two or more, but as of yet they have not been confirmed. I will let you know as soon as there are others, but this it eh present confirmed representation." Reporter: "What is the general feeling in the hospital administrators going into tomorrow's meeting?" "Unanimous, my complete understanding of their feeling is they feel a very sincere and a very deep responsibility in this matter. It's a matter that's new to them, that's foreign to them, in that they've never been really involved in a labor negotiations-type program. As a result, they are certainly going into this thing with their minds completely open to hear what the proposals, demands of the nurses are. They feel this responsibility to the nurses, to the medical profession itself, the doctors, the patients, and of course to the people of the community of Santa Clara County."
Segment 3 (silent): Exterior of one-story hospital building, with sign in front listing all of the departments inside. Cut to interior room where a small group of nurses are seated in folding chairs listening to another nurse speak to them, each of them holding typed papers in their laps.
Reel 3:
Segment 1 (sound): Group of women performing a Hawaiian song and hula dance, in what appears to be a suburban fenced yard. One of the women is playing the guitar or ukulele, and others are playing the ipu. They are all wearing a variation of traditional hula dress.
Segment 2 (silent, color): Color footage of the hula dancers from Segment 1.
Segment 3 (silent): Divers jumping off a pier in front of General Fish Corp., possibly in the Monterey area. A man in a boat reels out a long hose to them that is connected to some sort of floating device. Water geysers shoot up from the floating devices, higher than the nearby pier. (Possibly a test of using sea water for fire hoses?)
Reel 4:
Segment 1 (sound): Several people on horseback with the Blossom Motel in the background [3550 Monterey Road, San Jose]. One of them, an older man, speaks to reporter. "This is to draw attention to the shortage of trails in the western United States, and particularly in California." Reporter: "How long do you think the trip's going to take?" "Another 2 1/2 months." Reporter: "Where did you leave from originally?" "I left from Mexicali on May the 1st."
Segment 2 (sound): Man interviewed in office. "The advantage to the city of San Jose if we can arrive at a fair price is that we can increase the square footage of office space that we need at relatively no cost to our taxpayer -- and this is the most significant part of the whole argument. It means that rather than have to go back to the people for additional money for public buildings, we can postpone that for another 10-12 years by going through this maneuver. That's the first instance. The second thing is that San Jose's major facilities would all be together. We have our auditorium, we have our library, we have our theater company. This would put our city hall in the same complex. Then of course hopefully a sports company coming in the future. So this would give us a complete integrated beautiful setup in the heart of downtown San Jose, and talking about money, we feel that there's nothing wrong with downtown, at least I don't. I have great confidence in downtown. But it again is like any sector of our economy. It needs new blood, new development, and we think that this would start urban redevelopment going full blast, and in turn the values created, the assessed valuation in downtown, rather than having continuous slip [skid?], would readjust itself and start back upward, and this would be a great value to all taxpayers in this community."
Segment 3 (sound): Man interviewed under tree outside. "Presently, age 55 is the minimum retirement age, and it's the hope of the organization statewide to propose that a 20-year retirement regardless of a person's age, they would like to concentrate on a 20-year basis." Reporter: "Would this be retirement at full pay?" "Yes, it would be. Full retirement pay."
Segment 4 (silent): Teachers leading young children outdoors to blacktop area outside their school. Many of the kids appear to be Latino, and some are seen holding up toothbrushes. One of the children is shown by an adult how to brush teeth. Inside classroom shot, with children at their desks looking at the camera.
