TINE worlds largest aerial camera will be given a

for the United States Coast and Geodetc Survey by
the Fairchid Aerial Camera Corp.
Lieut.. o. S Reading, chief of the surveys section
Of aerial Photographic topography, experts Of the
United States Bureau of Standards and engineers
of the Fairchild company, are cooperating in the
development.
The camera will have nine lenses. The largest
aerial camera in has five lenses and takes
picture shaped like Maltese cross. The additional
four lenses in the will fill in the corners
left vacant with the ive-lens camera.
1t is anticipated that the new camera will be

THE niue-lens camera Lieut.. Reading states will

territory covered by four exposures of the ve-lens
camera or 20 exposures by a One-lens camera.

THE development of the nine-lens camera was
Il made possible by the recent progress in astro-
nomIcal telescopes, Lieut.. Reading says. The con-
StructiOn OF such camera was delayed in the past
by the fact that cameras Of practical size required
focal lengths too short for high altitude work.
The camera has focal length Of 81 inches.
The lenses are arranged so that their axes are
parallel.
one Of the problems was to arrange method for
opening and closing the shutters all nine lenses
simultaneously. For this purpose. system of shut
tiers actuaed by electrical Soenoids is used. These
shutters. developed by the Army Air Corps and the
FairChild engineers operate at specs Of l-5o and

The science OF aerial mapping is known as
photogrammetry and a society called the American
Society Of Phoogrammetry has been organized.
There are 200 members in the society

the advantage of speed and low cost.

It contains so much ad-libbing
from Marie or Emelie, Yvonne,
Annette or Cecile, that no first
morninger has yet been found

That is the show I had just
seen.
Provincial Constable Wesley
McCord, young and handsome,
had let us in. Madame Louis De
Kiriline, chief nurse, had opened
the door, explaining with regrets
that size couldn't be in the nur-
sery because she had a cold. She
stood with me at the large win
dow into the nursery, where
visitors were allowed to view the
quins before the visitors became
too numerous.
"THAT'S little Marie" she said.
Il She's a little behind the
rest in growing. But she learned
to pat cake before Emelie and
Cecile."
There lay little Marie, slight
understatement of her sisters
physically, but soon to catch up,
in Madame De Kiriline's opinion.
She was doing some new exercises
that had just occurred to her A
wiggling routine that Gilda Gray
would have praised. Then she
started kicking, up and down, one
two, one-two. Weary of kicking
she looked up, saw Madame De
Kiriline and began to smile.
Annette is the easiest. She made
impudent faces at the doctor,
grinned at him, patted his face,
until the doctor, white gowned
and professional, dropped his pro-
fessional air and his poker-face

permanent cut in production Of
mines no longer thriving.
GALLUP was started when the
" railroad penetrated the area,
and rich coal deposits were
opened. From a single mine, the
number increased, and in 1900
after sporadic minor walkouts
there came the big strike" which
put the field on a definitely open

a town of 5000, largely as trad

Here the present troubles center.
1t was an eviction case that
touched off the present trouble.
Victor Campos was one of sew
eral hundred "Squatters" who oc-
cupied houses built on land once
owned by the Gallup-American
Coal Co. For years they lived
there, paying small ground

Many let their rent lapse, but
the company did nothing about it.
Then the land was sold TO State

demanding that the people who

GALLUP, n. NJ, May 27.
Ever since a box-car
station was placed here in
1881 on a siding of the old
Atlantic & Pacific Rail
road, there has been inter-
mittent labor strife in Gal
lup.
Today this isolated out
post on a transcontinental
highway, railroad and trad
ing center for a wide Indian
country waits for the next
break" which it knows
will come.
The asserted kidnapping on May
of Robert Minor and Ravid Lev
inson, who came to Gallup to aid
miners accused of murder in con-
nection with a riot, startled the
whole country.
But it caused little stir locally
compared to the shooting to death
during a riot of unemployed on
April of popular young Sheriff
NJ. r. Carmichael and two unem-
ployed men, identified locally as
former radical strike leaders.
And little compared to the Bit
ter mine strike of 193334, when
National GuardSmen patrolled the
streets and vigilantes went back to
the law Of the Winchester.
The nucleus OF Gallup's troubles
lies in a group of perhaps 400
miners who will probably never
return to the mines. They are

boom times, employed about 300
men, half miners. Decreasing
markets due to oil and gas COM
petition, and depression conditions
cut that number of 500 on part
time, and it is unlikely that the
peak will be reached again.
The 400-odd miners stranded by
bad times at this and other mines
are largely of Mexican ancestry.
Many speak no English.
Perhaps half are descendants of
hardy pioneers who followed
Coronado in 1910 to the tabled
land of Cibola before the Pilgrims
touched Plymouth Rock.
1t is likely that trouble will con-
tinue to plague Gallup until some
means is found of rehabilitating
these stranded miners into an
other kind of life. Until then,
Gallup, with its finger on the trig-
ger, waits and watches for the
next move.

Another reason is the necessity
to trim political fences in prepar-
alton for the 1886 campaign. AS
continuing chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
jim will give all mis- time to this.
Then there is the very impor-
tant reason that Jim has become
something of a political liability
in the New Deal Cabinet. Re-
sentiment against him is consider
able in almost every part of the
country. A lot of people think
there is real smoke behind the
Huey Long charges.
And finally, Jim is just plain
tired. He is tired of taking the
rap for a lot of things for which
he is not responsible. He is tired
of being the President trigger
man.
The man who is first in line to
succeed Jim is his good friend
Frank Walker, now head of the
National Emergency Council.
Frank never liked this job much.
He is too placid. too generous,
overflows with too much of the
milk of human kindness. But If
he wants the more restful Post
Office job he probably can get 1t.

IA Borah what he thought
about the renewal of political &C
tivity on the part of eX-Presl-
dent Herbert Hoover.

doughty Idahoan, with a CLINT in
his eye. "of the story about the
Irishman who was taken to see
the tomb of Daniel Webster. On
the tomb were these words: I
still live.
Hmm, he remarked, you'd
think he would have enough
sense to know he was dead"
CENATOR TYDINGS' plea for
- an international conference,
by which the United States would
cancel war debts in return for
European disarmament, was not
a haphazard gesture.
1t had been carefully timed to
click on the same day Hitler
made his startling revelation that
Germany was ready to diSarm If
given a revision of the Versailles
Treaty.
Tyding's views also had been
scanned carefully by the State
Department in advance. And
while Secretary Hull and his adj
visers could not get up nerve TO
make the proposal themselves,
they were 100 per cent behind
Tydings.
