Officers said it was YaSume who
was responsible also for arousing
two other brothers, Eric, Is, and
Kazuto, IL, from their sleep and
taking them with her in her hight.
Constable Del Cam said Mishi-
ma apparently slipped out of his
bed about am. today and locked
the front and rear doors of the
house. He nailed a board across
another small door in the rear OF
the house and locked the windows.
Then, arming himself with a
handful OF neckties, he went to
his Wife's bedroom.
Mishima whipped a necktie about
his Wife's neck, knotted it behind
her head. Officers found her body

By WILSON HICKS Associated Press Executive Assistant in Charge Of
 News Photo Service

The news cameras function IS to tell a news story. The more dramatic the action, the more dramatic the picture and the better it is liked by newspaper readers The best news picture is a human drama in one static scene.
 Picking the best news pictures ot 1886 does not mean, therefore, se- lecting the pictures which best il- lustrate the most important news stories. It means, rather, selecting the pictures which stand on their own feet as the best narrators of incidents in life; pictures which make these who look at them feel as if they were present when the incidents occurred.
 The function of The Associated Press news photo service is to pro- vide an impartial camera record of worldwide events. It remains, however, that pictures, probably more than words, produce emo- tions in readers.
 Pictures Stir Emotions
 This factor has been taken into account in selecting the years best news pletures, because pictures are best when they stir the imagina- tion wildly and forcefully But snless news picture is meaning fuI to those who see it certainly it is not best picture.
 The second yardstick used in this selection is spontaneity. Many times a spontaneous news event reaches it's climax before the pho- tographer arrives. He then must do what he can to recapture the scene by recording it's remaining tangible evidence.
 Chance Plays Its na-t
 Once in 8 wnlIe, brilliantly, a cameraman is on the scene when a spot" event is in actual proc ess of happening. The photogra- pher knows we'll in advance that the President is to leave from Charleston for South America and is there to record a spontaneous event.
 But when som e t h ing occurs which no one could have predict ed, and the cameraman is there the picture becames a best on its own intrinsic merit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. It isn't true, the saying that you are for gotten when the dice roll against yoE or you move away to some other town.
 New York really misses its sons and daughters who, for various reasons, adopt other professions that take them out of the public eye. When the talk in a late hour coffee shop got around to this the other night, we remembered doz- Ien such ones-an author who runs a mission on the west coast, an editor who became a coffee mer- chant in Brazil,--people like that whose names and faces will always remain part of the fabric of New York.

 There is, off hand, Leo Casey, crack trial reporter, who went to Washington to become director of publicity for the COP. When I first knew Leo he was chasing af- ter five-alarm midnight fires. scrib- bling subway accidents. swearing ct false news tips. and interviewing financiers on the decks of ocean liners before they made up their minds not to issue statements to the press).
 It was the Hall-Mills case, with it's pig woman episode, that es- abolished Leo's reputation as trial reporting expert. The next thing New York knew he was authoring political editorials for the New York Evening Journal, which later loaned" him to the Republican party to help out with the late campaign.
 Now he has gone to Washington to see what can be done about a situation that is very. very bleak. Things" he snapped cheerfully, couldn't be worse, and when they get worse, they must get better. Don't forget the 16.000O00
