cause of the cruel fidelity with which screen

CEVERAL years ago when these newsreel
- close-ups of celebrities first became popular
was dismayed by the hang-dog air of our
distinguished citizens. A more palld shifty-
eyed set of statesmen and diplomats you never
They squinted, looked down their noses,
glanced uneasily this way and that, and never
once met the camera with honest, unflinch-
ing gaze. Ambassador X, uttering a few in
nocuous platitudes on foreign policy, looked
as guilty as any criminal in the dock Sena-
tor Y. discussing the tariff question gave an
excellent impersonation of a small boy
planning what became of the jam in the cup
board. On their faces you wouldn't have
trusted either of them alone with a silver
plated spoon. Yet they were typical Of the
men in whom We voluntarily reposed the high
est confidence.
But my faith in representative government

range of the lens; that accounted for the shift
ness of their gaze. Also, their unwholesome
pallor due not to dope and dissipation, but
to glarng klieg lights and lack of makeup.
And their remarks, in many instances were
supplied to them readymade by the men who
took the picture and knew what the public
wanted.
Thus the cameraman has become a political
force and a power behind the stuffed shirt.
But it is a kibitzer of conflict that he is at
his best The profusion of World War pictures
that have appeared lately indicates that there
must have been at least one snapshooter for
every sharpshooter. Photography is i'm
portant branch of warfare today-and it is
quite possible that the next will be fought
not in the air under the but in the dark
room.
For the real victor in any international dis
pute is no longer determined by territory
gained, spoils taken prisoners captured, but
by the postwar opinion of the rest of the
world. Snapshots are more potent than sta.
tistics in shaping popular sentiment. Just a.
a cinema audience looking at the slow motion
film of a prize fight can see fouls that the
referee overlooked, so posterity viewing scenes
Of mass combat in Photographic perspective
can draw its own conclusions
A BELLIGERENT nation will naturally hesi-
" tate to take the initiative knowing that
its aggressive tactics will be recorded by the
camera for future generations to deplore. Hence
the same propaganda which was once used to
foment war may serve to end war.
BY sheer force of numbers, photographers
have smothered more than one riot recently:
in fact, at riot outside the Amalgamated
Crutch- Tipping Works yesterday, the only ex-
citement was furnished by two rival photog-
raphers, who came to blows because they both
wanted to stand on the same fire plug at the
same time.
And If they continue to multiply at their
present rate, there is no reason why the next
great international conflict should not be waged
entirely by cameramen. They could of course,
hire few Hollywood extras in tin helmets to
work on as starter-but the real battles would
be for various points of vantage on which to
set q camera.
With shutters swapping bulbs bursting IN
air, powder exploding, plates smashing and
the fiashlight artillery advancing, followed by
the developing tank corps, the scene would
be equal to anything in "Creasys Decisive
Battles of the World"
And when the war was over and the last
snapshot had been fired, we would have q
nice collection of pictures-and no casualties
except possibly few cases of double exposure.
Perhaps, after all, the photographers little

tetween p.ckets ami policemen are common
pace events. The unemployed fighting
tC get work, the employed are fighting to keep
from working, and the ship of state has devel-
oped a list to larboard.
But there is peace in propect Judging
by the recent riot pictures in the papers, the
photographers are beginning to outnumber the
rioters. The latest snapshot from the indus
trial front depicts a photographer taking a
picture of another photogI arher taking a pic
ture of lone striker with bandaged brow.
This is an encouraging sign. When the long
dispute between capital and labor is settled,
credit will doubtless go to the various official
mediators and arbiters who arrange the final
details of adjustment. But when the laurels
are being passed around, the news photog-
raphers should not be overlooked. They have
been IN the thick of the battle ever since the
FIRST brick was hurled. They have stood fast
behind their tripods against advancing waves
of Guardsmen. etc; though blinded by tear
gas they have turned their cranks and snapped
their shutters calmly-for the cold round eye
of the camera never weepS.
1T is not for their bravery that they deserve
! the palm however, but for their psycholog-
ical effect upon the menacing malcontents
Recall some of the pictures published last
month when the excitement was at its height
Thousands Riot at Chilcothe Chilled Steel

which milling mob surrounded two disheveled
men. one of whom was hitting the other over

guests waiting for the banquet f1ashlight. Even
one of the CONFERENCE.-The one with the up
sciously, if wondering whether the folks
gravures next Sunday.
The ubiquitous cameraman has always had
soothing influence in times of strife, since
it practically impossible to pose and pum-
mel simultaneously. BY appealing to the van-
ity that is ever present in the human breast,
he diverts the mobsters from their mad pur-
suit for the moment. And in that moment
passions cool and the birds of prey develop
peacock propensities.
Occasionally, though not often, the presence
of the cameraman is resented by the belliger-
ents on both sides. But even then his pacify-
ing effect persists; the contending factions
unite IN pouncing upon him and smashing his
plates, and the original belli is forgotten.
BY the same token the newsreel photographer
serves as a check on extravagant oratory. Po-

campaign promises, for they know that every

Ward Leads
Michigan in
Big Ten Meet
HornboSteI Breaks Record
Which Had Stood
18 Years.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

EVANSTON, Ill, May 19.-Mich-
igan remained a favorite today to
retain its supremacy in Western
Conference track and field athletics
as the thirty-fourth annual meet
moved into the finals at Dyche
stadium.
Led by Willis Ward, husky Negro
star. the wolverines were expected
to stave off Indiana's bid and win
their third successive title and thir-
teenth since the meet was started
in 1901.
The opening days glory, however,
went to Indiana when Charles
Hornbostel, slim, bespectacled mid
die distance runner, stepped his
heat of the half mile in l minute
50 $40 seconds, breaking a Con-
ference record of eighteen years
standing.
Runs Mile Today
With weather conditions ideal and
only one race to run yesterday,
HornboStel Embossed his long stride
and wrote a new record in the books
to take the place Of one made by
Scott, Mississippi A. and M, in
1916 when schools outside the Big
Ten were allowed to compete in the
Conference meet. SCOTS mark was
1882: Hornbostel is the unoffi-
cial holder of the worlds half-mile
record at 1909.
Hornbostel is favored to retain his
half mile title today, but will make
his big effort in the mile and the
mile-relay.
Neither Michigan nor Indiana led
in qualifiers in the preliminaries
yesterday. Trials were held in ten
of the fifteen events and Illinois,
favored to take third place, landed
sixteen qualifiers, twice as many as
any other school,
1. U. Qualities Seven
The number of qualifers by the
other schools were: Michigan, 8;
Indiana, 7; Wisconsin, 7; North
western 5; Purdue, 5; Iowa, 5; Ohio
State, 5; Minnesota, 4; Chicago, g.
Ward, Michigan's mainstay got
off to a good start in the trials by
leading the broad jump quali1ers
with leap of % feet, "a inches
winning his heat of the 100-yard
dash in 10 seconds, and his heat in
the 120-yard high hurdles in ISL
seconds. Ward also is favored in
the high jump, in which no trials
were held
Indianas cause was hurt when
Caldmeyer was disqualified for three
false starts in the high hurdles and
