[[newspaper clipping]] THE WASHINGTON POST Thursday, August 5, 1948 11 [[Article]] Gen. Cox Inspects National Guard Camp; Materiel Shortage Report Still Under Study The report on initial material shortages among District National Guard units training at Camp Pendleton, Va., yesterday was reported still "under study" by the Army Department. Compiled by Col. Merle Thompson of the general staff, the report was submitted to Maj. Gen. Harold Bull, chief of the division of organization and training two days ago. Yesterday Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, commanding officer of the District Guard, whose staff had been under fire from Col. Charles M. Myers, training officer at the camp, over what Myers had termed an "utter failure of supply" made an inspection tour of the camp. The General inspected troops, equipment and sleeping quarters and expressed himself as pleased with the state of training and satisfied with the living conditions generally. The troops' noon meal of Swiss steak, fresh vegetables, ice cream and lemonade looked "so good," the General remarked, that he sat down in the 260th Gun Bn., mess-hall and demolished a trayful. Later the General, accompanied by Colonel Myers and Col. Leroy S. Mann, commander of the encampment, viewed ack-ack firing with toy balloons as targets. General Cox will visit Dover, Del., Sunday where members of the Air National Guard are in training. Special ceremonies are planned. [[/Article]] [[article]] Truman to See Press Pres.

[[/article]] [[article]] Legion Boys Warned of 'Red Swindle' Delegates to the American Legion boys forum yesterday were urged to "protect" themselves against Communistic "swindlers." Karl Baarslag, research specialist for the Legion's National American Commission, told some 90 boys at American University: "It is a duty of citizenship for you boys to protect yourselves against swindlers, and Communists are a new type of swindler. They are after your country and your liberty." He charged that the old American Youth for Democracy is now "fading into" the Young Progressives of America. "There are the same faces, the same game but new suckers," he declared. Later, delegates to the third annual forum visited the Senate and inspected the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Today, following an early morning visit to the Federal Bureau of investigation, graduation exercises will be held at 11 a. m. in Hurst Hall. James F. O'Neil, national commander of the Legion, will preside. At 2:50 p. m. The boys are scheduled to visit the White House and Pres. Truman is due to receive them at 3:30 p. m. After that the forum adjourns. [[/article]] Army Mules May Lose Their 'Bray' By the United Press The Army medics have a new hush-hush project underway, it was disclosed yesterday. They are going to take the bray out of Army mules. Army veterinarians observe a strong silence when questioned about the project. But other officers said an exhaustive staff study has been made and orders will go out soon to "debray" mules before they are sent overseas. It seems that the Army horse medics are worried about possible objections from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The SPCA kicked up a furore over the "debarking" of dogs in New York City in recent years and had the practice abolished as inhumane. But Army officers say they have good reasons for wanting to take the bray out of mules. They said brain can often reveal the presence of United States soldiers to the enemy. Furthermore, the officer said, the operation is painless. The mule would get his voice back later, when he wouldn't endanger the lives of his masters and brother mules. The whole job could be accomplished by a simple injection. A few old mule skinners have protested against the "de-braying." They said the braying of a mule can be very useful at times.

Leahy announced last night that Washington will have 15 boards to conduct the new draft of 19-to-25-year olds. The decision was made at a meeting last night of the board of directors of the Selective Service Association, an association of local World War II draft officials. Leahy, who directed the last draft, is its president. Also decided at the closed meeting, Leahy said, with the names of those who will be nominated to head the draft boards. The list will be submitted to the Commissioners Monday for transmission to the White House, where the appointments are made. Leahy said it is hope that all 15 boards can be housed under one roof. As in the last draft, school buildings and other convenient locations will be used for registration, which will run from August 30 to September 18. The last draft required 25 boards. Leahy said the greater number of registration days this time presents new problems in numbers of personnel needed. Other details of registration, classification and draft board personnel are still being worked out, Leahy said. [[/article]] [[article]] Employment Rights of Active Reservists Armed Forces reservists who went on active duty after last June 24, start of the new Selective Service Act, are eligible for full reemployment rights along with all draftees, the Labor Department said yesterday. Robert K. Salyers, head of Labor's bureau of veterans' reemployment rights, pointed out that the draft act extends reemployment rights to all persons who enter active duty "in response to an order or call." He said reservists must also apply for reinstatement in their work within 90 days afttr release.

The rule persists today with many snapshooters who do not feel well enough informed about photographic lighting to change from this sure but monotonous lighting. Do your snapshots have eyes blacked out with underexposed shadow areas? Do long nose and chin shadows ruin your portraits? Then move away from this direct lighting line and make your subject turn from straight sunlight and you'll find summertime sun will brilliantly side-light your pictures. The eyes will be more natural too, for it is rare to find a person who can stare into direct sunlight without squinting. With the harsh summer sun you may find the lighting contrast between the highlights and shadows is too great even for modern films to compensate for. Notice this before you click and move to areas which reflect light into the shadows such as near concrete walks in walls, light colored buildings will also do the trick. A newspaper held three feet from the shadow area will throw sufficient light to build up shadows. The morning and evening sun is not nearly as contrasty as the high-noon period and will allow you to work without artificial means. On your exposures involving bright sun and shadow be very accurate. Use your meter to get readings of both brightly and dimly illuminated areas and split your exposure between them with any favor of additional exposure favoring the shadows.

A further report on my new Frigidaire dehumidifier — The first night it drained 3 quarts of water out of my darkroom which is in a basement and is 21 by 12 by 8 feet in size. The less moisture in the air, of course, the less the machine will drop into the bucket. Over a normal day's operation I estimate it will drain three to 4 quarts of water from the air in my darkroom. The machine is made to operate in areas up to 8000 cubic feet. I am now in the process of boiling up all my rusted machinery and cleaning mold from bellows and leather camera cases hoping at long last this problem of damp dark rooms has ended. The first double frame 35-mm.camera with a fully automatic film transport and shutter wind, permitting either single exposures or bursts up to 15 frames in rapid sequence is the Foton, a 35-mm. still camera developed by Bell & Howell. Release is scheduled late this year. The Cine-Kodak Special Camera — Kodak's top-quality 16-mm. movie maker — now features a new type lens turret and improved reflex, I-level and peepsight viewfinders. One of the best movie machines available this camera is also priced high — $860 plus tax. Collier's Magazine is seeking good color pictures suitable for cover pictures. They want photographic slices of American life — of young people in striking story-telling situations against natural realistic backgrounds. Young men and women, children, animals and pets are high on the preferred list. Transparencies smaller than 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 will not be acceptable.

There was found to be no validity to the charge that bulbs are apt to ignite prematurely due to radar or other high frequency radiation. Shipment of bulbs henceforth will be accepted when in original cartons and properly identified. American Eastern, Northeast, United, Western, Mid-Continent, Monarch, TWA and Pan-American are among those who have already lifted the ban.
