Margaret Bomke White Brings Something Ne70 An old Art

roar of the starting 80 cars had
settled down to a steady drone.
and the oil fumes had be-

Miss Bourke-W White, attired in an
aqua marine sports dress and
high-heeled slippers, proceeded to
climb about over the barbed wire
fences and to snap pictures of
unsuSpecting Speedway-iteS who
had given in to old man Morpheus
and were stretched out on the
bottle Uttered lawn of the press
pagoda, in peace and comfort.
Unusual angles, characteristic
of Miss Bourke- Whites camera
work, were obtained at the Speed
way, not by intricate measure
mentS on a graduated tripod, but
merely by placing two empty film
boxes or an empty bottle under
the camera which was laid non
chdlantly on the ground.
COMETIMES, to achieve a diff
- cult angle, the brunette artist
would perch her camera on the
fence and take the picture almost
upside down. Taking perhaps a
dozen exposures of each subject,
Miss Bourke White works dexter
ously to get what she wants-and
she usually does.
During the seven years she
spent in various colleges, Miss
Bourke White never dreamed she
would be a photographer. Even

alities and motors and fences and
people at the Speedway. For her
more candid photos Miss Bourke-
White uses a not much smaller
camera.
Taking into consideration the
fact that Miss Bourke- White has
missed few of the jor events of
the past several years, it was not
surprising to see her at the Speed
way.
She rocketed to fame last year
when she returned from a flying
tour of the western drought region
with a sun-burned nose, and box
full of plates which turned out to
be front page camera paintings.
Indianapolis Times readers will re-
member them.
Faced with such subject matter
as dying cattle, sun-bleached ra-
vines where rivers used to be, and
hungry farmers tortured by the
thought of their blighted crops,
most photographers would have
taken a picture of Farmer Jones
and his family, given names and
addresses and let it go at that.
MOT so with Miss Bourke-
~ White, to whom a picture
is much more than a picture. To
her imaginative genius for Great
ing stories complete in every
detail within the frame of each

In asking money to build that
Palace of Justice, appeal was made
to Congress on the ground that
the courtroom in the Capitol was
not large enough" he says.
But it turns out that there is
no more room in the new court
room itself to seat the public than
in the present crowded quarters.
In fact, where the few privi-
legged persons who gain admit
lance are to be seated in the new
building isn't so great a space as
the dining room for the judges.
"THE dining room is where
Il these nine mighty men will
eat. There is another large dining
room for those of lesser rank, and
there are spacious quarters for
each judge and his assistants.
Putting men in such an envi-
ronment and paying them $40
900 year for life makes it
impossible for them to under
stand the pressing problems of the
average American who has to
hustle for a living, with no assur-
ance of an old-age pension of $50
a month.
THAT building is beautiful. But
it will isolate the court from the
people even more than it is iso-
lated now. Only a few will even
get a peek at them, and in such a
setting they will be portrayed as
Supermen.
After all, they are just like
congressman and presidents and
subject to the same mistakes. In
my opinion they should be sub
ject to the same criticism"

but take the offensive and fight
all the way down the line.
This militant element warned
against abandoning the NRA.
They cited the fact that the Labor
Department already was over
whelmed with complaints of wage
reductions and hour increases. IN
less the Administration acted with
vigor, they held, more and more
employers would make similar cuts
with the certain result of wide
spread labor disturbances.
At present, the militants argued,
the onus of killing the NRA is on
the Supreme Court. But if a
month or two hence nothing has
been done to counter the blow,
they argued that public resent
ment would be against the Ad-
ministration.
To this school of thought the
President gave complete agree
ment. After listening to Johnson
eXpOund CneSe views, ne remarked:
Hugh, it's good to find one of
my advisers who still has fight in
him."
1t was Mr.. Frankfurter, Har-
ward law expert on the history of
the Supreme Court, who explained
to Mr.. Roosevelt the long series
of opinions which it had given in
the past to block child labor
abolition, minimum wage and va
rious reforms.
This was the background to the
Presidents militant action.
The consensus now is that the
Supreme Courts mutilation of the
NRA has been the biggest BOOM
erang in Roosevelt's favor since
the beginning of the New Deal.

will spend a half hour merely
studying her subject, looking at it
from all angles, crawling about it
on her hands and knees, stopping
only when she has exhausted
every approach.
She takes a picture of every
angle she feels worthy of atten-
ton. Quality, not quantity, is
her motto.
Miss Bourke- White is a free
lancer. She has done work for
Newspaper Enterprise Association,
Fortune Magazine, and locally, for
L. S. Ayres & Co.
Her first suggestion to begin

from getting nervous when taking
pictures. She emphasizes this
point by telling of the nightmare
she had the night before she
took her famous masterpiece OF

1.-TWO steel-frame houses have been erected in
4 Bethesda suburb of Washington, d. u IN
four weeks time The steel frame for each mouse
was erected in slightly more than day by ere"
Of five men. ,
The houses known as Berloy steel frame houses
make use of a system designed by the Berger Manu-
featuring Co. Canton, o, a subsidiary OF the re
public Steel Corp.
Unlike other ventures in the field, where the at
tempt is made to replace all building materials with
steel or to make of some combination OF steel
and concrete or steel and glass, the Berloy houses
use only frames of steel. The exterior can be
finished in stone brick wood, and any building
materials desired may be used in the interior.
The steel frame is erected from series Of units
which have been designed that each unit can De
handled easily by one man. This makes IL I'M
necessary to have any erection machinery the job
All units or frames are three feet wide and OF
the desired ceiling height Frames for doors or
windows are interchangeable with those for SOLID
blank walls.
A FTER the foundation has been put down, the
n steel frames are simply bolted to the founda-
ton and to each other, forming rigid and continue
Gus steel frame for the house.
1t is possible to build the house to any desired
size and in accordance with any desired floor plan
In addition to making the frames, the company
has completely fabricated plumbing stack or chace
and heating and air-conditioning ducts which can
be bolted into place within the steel frames.
In the Washington houses. the heating unit
occupies about the same amount Of space
ordinary kitchen stove and contains furnace, hot
water heater and air conditioner.
The space in the steel frames is used as part Of
the heating and air conditioning system, the air
returning to the furnace through it. The walls are
insulated and this system is said to eliminate chilly
walls and floors.
TINE design Of the plumbing stack eliminates the
l. necessity of running pipes through the walls.
In addition there are no exposed pipes running
from the fixtures into the walls or floors.
Each of the houses built in Washington contains
q living room, 12x18 feet: a dining room. l2xi2

DUT Roosevelt refused to take
- this defeatist view of the sit
uation. Dropping everything else,
he set about finding a solution.
From early morning until late
at night, by long-distance tele-
phone, telegraph and personal in
terviews, he talked with poll
ticians, labor leaders, editors, le-
gal experts and business men,
seeking suggestions and ideas.
Within "a hours he talked to
more than so people.
Among Administration leaders
two schools of thought developed
as to the course that should be
pursued.
A group of conservative SOUTH
ern chiefs on Capitol Hill-who
had never been sympathetic to-
ward the NRA-counSeled the
President to sit tight and do moth
ing.
They argued that it would be
good politics to let the NRA go
by the boards temporarily, mean
while gauge the reaction of the
country. If popular demand de-
veloped for a new NRA. Mr..
Roosevelt could assume the role
of leader and propose another
NRA plan 10 Congress.
Taking advantage Of the
strait jacket nature of the Su-
preme Courts decision. these con-
greSSional leaders also advised that
the controversial features of the
banking. holding corporation and
social security measures be aban-
doned. They also wanted to junk
the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill
plus the IVA and AAA amend
ments, thus making possible a
quick wind-up Of Congress.
CTRONGLY opposing this advice
