ATTORNEYS SPLIT

Earlier Report, Urges
Classification.

The. proposal to bring under civil
service thousands of exempt positions
has split into two camps Govern
ment attorneys who would constitute
one Of the principal classes to be af-
fected.
This developed last night when a
special committee from the Federal
Bar Association recommended clas-
sification for the lawyers in q report
that took direct issue with earlier rec
concentrations from another group
against the blanketing-in contem-
plated in President Roosevelt's order
of June "a.
The report against civil service was
drawn up last month by q number
Of legal oficials from both old line
and new agencies. 1t said present
civil service methods of selection are
unsatisfactory" and favored the meth

administrative officers choose their
own men.

mittee was headed by Thomas M. Ross

under civil service-and the report was
described as embodying a two-year
study, which summed up the views of
legal oficials in five departments and

ExamlnaCIOn, however, revealed

ach. There were some indications
Of disorder in the endocrine glands
and a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa
was made.
A long series of interviews re-
vealed the situation that she did not
like two sisters who lived at home
and got on her nerves by teasing
her. Her mother also worried her
by fussing about her.
Such unfortunst ties must be treated
partly by mehCal cement.
She was persuaded to eat more and
more food at each meal, and attend
ants talked her out Of the idea that
the food caused any abdominal dis
tress.
At the same time, administration
of some of the ductless glands, par
ticularly thyroid extract, was help
full. She gradually gained her
weight back, and even passed her
original mark of rs pounds. When
in few months both Of her sisters
got married and left home, she was
completely cured. y
The treatment and outcome are
typical of many cases in which the
diagnosis is often of organic disease,
such as cancer or ulcer Of the
stomach. ri

unusual are turning again to the PIN
hole camera. Basically. this instru-
ment is merely box with film at
one end and pinhole, instead of

The fascination of pinhole photog-
raphy lies not only in its simplicity;
such a camera has certain properties
that many snapshooters consider a
distinct advantage over most types of
sharp-cutting lenses. 1t provides. for
example, a notable softness of defini-
ton which contributes considerably
to the artistic quality OF picture. 1t
also admits highly desirable control

over the angle of view, and has an un-
limited depth of focus - that is, any
object within its field is in focus, re-
gardless of its distance. This presents
the entire picture in its correct perspec-
tive, without any blurring of closeup
or distant objects.
Consider the accompanying photo
graphs. The one at the left was made
with a regular roll-film camera from a
distance of about 100 feet lat slight
clevation>. To take the one at the right
with the pinhole camera, it was possible
to approach to within twenty feet of
the tree and still include the same part
of it, incidentally avoiding highway
fence in the foreground. Note that the
general character of the background
and the perspective of the entire scene
are greatly improved in the pinhole
photographs; that the softness and
simplification Of detail are more in keep
ing with good artistic representation.
The pinhole, as its name implies, is
simply very small hole (about l-lOO
inch in diameter) through piece of
thin, Opaque material - black paper is
excellent A pin or needle is pierced
through the material, and the burr at
the back is removed by careful slicing
with razor blade The sheet with the
hole in it is either placed over the lens
of camera or - preferably - over the
opening left after the lens assembly has

been removed. Or again, you can easily
make light-tight cardboard box your
self. The pinhole is at one end; at the
other is film-pack adapter, held in
place with rubber bands. The .pinhole,
of course, is kept covered when not in
use.
If you use bellows camera, the film
to-pinhole distance can be varied to suit
the subject If you construct your own,
the distance should be about half the
normal for the size of film you use. The
angle embraced may be judged by
sighting along the top of the box, from
the edges of the film through center
point above the pinhole. The closer the
film is to the pinhole, the wider the
range of view.
Owing to its small size. the pinhole
requires quite long exposure - about
Is seconds in bright sunlight with fast
panchromatic film. This, of course.
makes the use of tripod or other firm
support essential.
In landscape photography it is always
desirable to create an illusion of depth.
This is best accomplished by including
in the scene some foreground object -
such as the tree in these pictures - and
by choosing viewpoint that provides a.
pleasing relationship between the near
objects and the distant ones. Often a
conventional camera does not permit
one to retreat far enough to include

scene.
There are many interesting peculi-
arities to pictures made with a pin
hole camera.
During the long exposure any mo-
ton in the scene is smoothed out.
Water ripples disappear, imparting
velvety sheen to lake or river Pedes-
trians may walk in and out of the
scene before the camera without
registering on the film. -
Clouds, if moving away from or
toward the camera fast enough. will
produce a queer raylike effect that
sometimes is very picturesque.

Lamour, Fonda, Raft Star in Play Filmed Recent

In the tangled lives of four in- habitants of a remote Alaska fish ing village is mirrored the heroic struggle for existence in America s last frontier region in Spawn of the North" Paramount's surging drama of people who live danger ously and die courageously. which picture, only two weeks ago, had it's world premier in Seattle, comes so the screen of the Coliseum Theatre tonight.
 George Raft, Henry Fonda and Dorothy Lamour head an all-star cast in brilliant screen version of Barrett Willoughby's famous novel, playing against the sweeping back ground of Alaska, and it's breath taking scenery and rugged people, where life often depends on few feet between a schooner and an iceberg and the law holds only when there are men strong and determined enough to enforce it.
 Raft and Fonda are excellent in the chief roles, as the two fishing comrades who find themselves on the opposite sides of the law when the inhabitants of the region or ganize to stamp out the pirates who have been raiding their traps and imperiling h cir livelihood. Miss
