FILMING THE NEWS
 FOR MOVIE FANS
South Church Brotherhood
 Hears How It Is Done

The vast amount of work entailed in running motion picture news service was detailed last night at the meeting of tho South Congregational church Mems Brotherhood by Le- land Stowe, representative of the Pathe Picture Corpn A staff of 50 or 6O cameramen Is maintained by Pathe in this country, while between 75 and 100 more are located at for eign points.
 Newspapers are scanned in the New York office every morning and telegrams and cablegrams dispatched immediately to the cameramen near the scene of any occurrence of in- terest. The cameramen then hasten to the spot and take whatever they can, noting down what pictures have Leen shot" This information Is teegraphed 10 the central office and sub-titles of a somewhat general character are made up at once, so that when the film comes In 1t can be developed, printed, titled, and sent out for showing without loss of time. In the case of the Inauguration of President Coolidge, Mir. Stowe said. the titles were ready weeks before the event occurred.
 There was much competition in taking this event, and Pathe had ten cameramen on the job. obtain ing duplicate pictures from each Of five vantage points. One news weekly hired a special train to trans port It's film, but the ceremony was delayed and the train left on time. Pathe sent Its inauguration pictures by sirplane, and they were shown in many cities that same night.
 The positions of cameramen to se- cure pictures of the round-the-world flight were as carefully mapped out as was the route of the aviators, men being stationed all along the route and shooting the planes when they arrived. On the evening that the circummundane f1iers arrived at Nit chel field they were treated to a spe- cial showing of film depicting the high spots of the flight which they were just completing.
 Many hazards attach to the work, A cameraman went through to Nome to get pictures of the arrival of the ant-diphtheria serum, the negative being sent back on the same dog sledge which transported the anti-toxin to the stricken town. Films are frequently transported by air, and the employees in charge of them wear parachutes with order to jump if anything happens to the plane and to continue their trip by any means found available upon landing.

 Testifying in regard to federal at torney appointments, the witness said she had protested against the appointment of man by the name of Littleton as special assistant to the attorney general to try prohibit ton cases In western Pennsylvania. He was appointed, she testified "at the request of Secretary Mellon" to prosecute certain bribery cases, and after one case had been tried and lost he had moved that the others be nolle pressed.
