By Associated Press

Savannah, May 1O.-President E. J. Maniop's report was the chief business before the Order of Railway Photographers in convention here today.
 Among the recommendations presented by the president was that a pension de- partment be established to take care of aged members. A cooperative bank to be located at St. Louis was also recom- mended.
 The president urged that the name of the organization be changed to the Order of Railroad Photographers, Dispatchers, Station Agents, Towermen and Telephon- CTS.
