Osaka newspapers during the last few

National City Bank of New York be
forbidden to take photographs of busi-

The newspaper articles, which orig

pictures taken were of establishments
which would probably be targets for
air bombers in the event of war. They
expressed fear that the photographs
might be placed in the hands of Ameri-
can military authorities and insisted
| the photographing was undesirable from
the viewpoint of national defense.
There are no regulations forbidding
such picture-taking.
For Educational Purpose.
Officials of the bank explained that
the pictures were taken in accordance

headquarters and were intended to pro-
