TIDEWATER AND
LAKE GULF WAY
TO BE ARGUED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 GP.--Renew-
al of the long smoldering oratorial
warfare between the astern seaboaro
and the Mississippi valley over the
relative merits of the st. Lawrence
tidewater project and the Lakes-to'
Gulf waterway promises to develop
one of the most vexatious problems
of the forthcoming short session Of
congress.
The character and intensity of the
pre- session maneuvering presages a
struggle which may evolve a fill
buster affecting the entire legisla
tive program Of the three months
session.
The rivers and harbors bill, passed
by the house in the last session, is
the special order Of business in the
senate for December IA Under a
SPECIAL rule approved last July it
may not be sdetracked save by
unanimous consent.
Although the same special rule
curbs fllibustering by limiting each
speaker to one hour, opponents tc
the crucial Mississippi river project
still have the right to offer amend
ments in such numbers as might keer
the question before the upper cham
Der long enough to menace Other
! important legislation.
Besides the complex economic con.
,siderations presented in the conflic,
between advocates Of hetwo water,
way proposals, the house bill en-
bodies a clause touching upon the
lprotracted controversy over Chicago's
drainage diversion from Lake Mich"
igan. 1t contains, in addition, !.
hftterly contested proposal to au
thorize purchase by the federal gov
ernment OF the privately operated
Cape Cod canal.
Although the sponsors of the bill
erpress confidence that the senate
amendments will be offered which
may force the measure to conference.
There, the conflict may again be re-
newed, with possible deadly effect,
The principal opposition to the
Mississippi valley channel centers iG
the Great Lakes states, excluding
illinois. 1t is directed principally
against Project 20, which would mod
ify existing war department plans
in the Illinois river SO as to pro
vide a nine-foot channel 200 feet wide
from the southern end of the Chicago
drainage canal, near Utica, ILL.,, to-
the confluence of the Illinois and
Mississippi rivers, near Grafton, Ill.

Developing of Movie
Film Delicate Task

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 4 H9.-The
life of the celluloid strip in which
is confined pictured comedy and trag-
edy passes through it's critical pc
rod in the virtual darkness of the
studio laboratory.
In the hands of one man. whose
workshop is a small room illumin
ated with two or three red lights, is
the destiny of millions of feet of
film drama that issue annually from
big motion picture studio. His
job IS the development of the film
and its preparation for printing.
tpon his skill depends the attrac-
tiveness of the images that later
will animate the screen
Baths Most Important
Hundreds OF cans of exposed mega
tive are brought to his workshop
each day. An average of $4,000 feet
daily is sent TO the laboratory Of
one Of Paramounts studios
In the dark room, the negative is
wound racks in 200 foot strips,
and soaked in tanks of cold water
for cleaning and softening. Next is
the most important step-the Inn
niersion of the still unborn drama
in a 800 gallon chemical bath that
gives it l.fe and permanence
With the aid Of red hand-light
the laboratory man examines the neg
ative as the yellow opaque emul-
sion wears off and the image begins
to appear. His knowledge of the
time required TO develop various de-
grees of exposure, such as sunlll
exterior, dim night scene or &
closeup, determines the length of
time the negative shall be left il.
the tank for proper development.
Cut and SLICED
Another dip in cold water, fixing
! in chemical solution that arrests
further development, and still anoth-
er washing complete the process
that leads to the drying room, which
is kept at high, dry temperature
to prevent deterioration of the Mega
tive.
Leaving the developer the film
goes into an assembling room where
/ it is cut and spliced in accordance
with numbered sequence. 1t is re-
w in 200 foot rolls and sent
to the printing room, marked with
the length of time each section should
be exposed for the first printing.
In the printing room the mega
tive is exposed against raw positive
stock, which eventually will pass
through the projection machines iK
theaters. The positive print is sent
to the director for cutting, sub-titling
and assembling. Then master print
is made from the original negative
followed by thousands of copies that
are distributed to exhibitors.
