Equipment Shown
AtCIinic Here
Methods Demonstrated
By Anton Boumonn
At Willard

New methods In photo-micrographv
and three-dimensional photography
are being demonstrated by Anton
F. Baumann, internationally known
miniature camera expert, in a three
day Photographic clinic in parlor G
at the Willard Hotel.
Lady Lindsay, wife of the British
Ambassador here, and several Gov
ernment scientists were among those
seeking advice On their Photographic
problems and inspecting equipment
on display at opening of the clinic
yesterday.
On exhibit for the first time in
washington was an ortholux micro
scope, with a simplified, built-in
lighting system and arrangement
Tor quick attachment of a immature
camera. Mr.. Baumann explained
that this equipment eliminated
many Of the technical problems in
volved in making photo-micrograph
that magnify the subject up to 200
or 1.500 times.
Another display that created con-
siderable interest was the stereoly-
polaroid system for three -dimen-
sional projection in color This sys-
tenn projects in screen at
stereoscopic picture, which, when
viewed through spectacles with
polarlzed lenses. seems almost to
live.
The exhibit and clinic will be open
from l pm. to 10 pm. today and
tomorrow.
Mr.. Baumann will return to Wash
1ngton in April to give an illustrated
lecture on color photography at the
Departmental Auditorium.

upon conquest and military domina-
ton. We will not refuse the op-
pressed governments any aid that
we may legally give them, short of
war.
I'VE will, unafraid, resist any en-
croachments upon the rights of our
citizens under any treaties with us
by every legal means at our COM
mand, short of war, relying upon
this power which. in my opinion, is
sufficient and will avert war. .
I'VE are not frightened, however
by the circumstances that the ne
slstance may cause some other
country to declare war upon u.s."
AS for attempts at appeasement,
by giving way to demands of die
tator States, the Senator declared: !:
Evening star., 1939-02-21

THE policy of appeasement has
not only been unsuccessful and ulti-
mately destructive, but has been
immoral. 1t is evident that a per-
son can die but once, and the period
of life is limited, and that it is far
better that he die a few days earlier
for Christianity, justice and liberty
than that he live little longer in
coWardice and degeneracy."

Recognition Of Union
On u. 5. Ships Studied

The Maritime Commission will
hold a special meeting Monday to
consider further the question of
union recognition on its ships by
obtaining its personnel through
union hiring halls. Members of the
commission and its officials and a
group of union leaders, headed by
Harry Bridges. West Coast C. I. o.
leader, conferred for two hours yes
terday.
The commission insists that as
governmental agency it cannot
recognize union membership as a
prerequisite of employment and
therefore obtains its personnel from
the United States shipping COM
missioners who are required to
maintain rosters of seamen. 1t has
been suggested by the commission
that union lists might be SENT to
the shipping commissioners from
which the men would be picked, but
the labor spokesmen resist this on
the ground that favoritism might
be shown.
While the commission does not
now operate any ships on the Pa
cific, negotiations are under way
for the establishment of a Seattle
Orient route, under a management
contract. using four ships now on
the Atlantic.
1t is the stand of the commission
that the seamen on its ships are
civil service workers, but it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Bridges contends
that they are exempted from these
rules because they do not have
permanent tenure which other civil
service employees enjoy.
Union representatives will have
another conference with the COM
mission after the Monday meeting

Compromise Is Sought
On Flood Control Bill
Nv the ASSoci tod prexs

By the Associated Press.
House leaders strove yesterday to
effect a compromise with rival fac
tions seeking substantial increases
in the amount President Roosevelt
has recommended for flood control
and river and harbor Improvements.
To forestall bitter fight
when the bill reaches the House
floor Tuesday, President Roose-
welt authorized his lieutenants in
the House, 1t was learned, to say
that he was willing to set aside
$50, 900 900 of relief funds for flood
control and river and harbor work
provided the blocs did not try to
boost the total of the War De-
partment non-military appropri-
alton bill.
Leaders of the flood control bloc
conferred with House Majority
Leader Rayburn, Democrat, Of
Texas and Representative Snyder,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the subcommittee in charge
of the appropriation measure. but
said no conclusions were reached.
Members Of the fllod control bloc
said their group had gone on record
as believing that $3.50, 0,000, 900 was
the minimum that should be pro-
vided for flood control. The Budget
Bureau recommended only $110,-
600, 900.

Farm Bill Will Get
Approval Next Week,
Senators Predict
WhoIeheurted Bockino
From Southerners and
Midwesterners Seen
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Leaders of two farm blocs from
different sections of the country
predicted today that the Senate
would approve the record-breaking
81 ,216,00O, 900 agriculture appropri.
alton bill next week.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Of
Alabama, leader in the cotton
group, said the bill would have
nearly unanimous support Of South
ern Senators. Senator Lucas, Demo-
crat, Of Illinois, chairman Of the
bloc from corn, wheat and dairy
States Of the Middle West, likewise
was optimistic.
Senator Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia, in charge Of the bill, said
only three Senators on the Appro-
priations Committee had voted
against major increases in the
measure-$225 100000 for parity
payments to farmers and $113,000,-
600 for removal of farm surpluses.
Parity payments are designed to
raise the purchasing power repre-
sented in the farm products to the
pre-war leveD
These items accounted for most Of
the 1881 900 900 added by the COM
mittee to the bill, which carried
1886 100000 as approved by the
House.
Publication of testimony before
the closed sessions of the commit
tee disclosed that Secretary Wallace
had opposed the increases unless
Congress found some way to offset
the burden on the Treasury.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
Republican leader, asked Mr.. Wallace
If he opposed dipping into the Treas.
ury to provide for parity payments.
Mr. Wallace said:
! Il feel it would be exceedingly un.
sound to take out of the Treasury
Of the United States the additional
parity payments, as a permanent
proposition"
Such step, Secretary Wallace
added, would require "a very unusual
emergency"
The Secretary advocated a pro-
cessing tax on farm products to help
offset Government outlays.
Secretary Wallace said that about
100000 farmers, or "85 per cent of
all farm families" now shared In
Government benefit payments.

Lincoln Statue
Mystery Deepens

Mystery of the fate Of the Abra-
ham Lincoln statue which disap-
peared from the Federal Building
at the New York Worlds Fair deep
ened today as reports sharply con-
flicted as to whether it was intact,
or had been smashed with sledge
hammers.
Denying reports that the statue
had been demolished, a statement
from the Washington Office of the
United States New York World S
Fair Commission here said the
statue was not destroyed. 1t was
removed just before the opening of
the fair, an official explained, and
has been placed IN storage without
damage.
On the other hand from other
sources 1t was charged today that
definite reports had reached Wash
ington that the statue had been
smashed to pieces with sledge ham
mers and carted away in trucks" !"
On the floor of the House yester-
day, the charge of waste" was
hurled as Representative Edward
H. Rees. Republican, of Kansas dis
cussed the mystery of the disappear
ance. He told his colleagues that
the incident constituted waste of
s4,00O-enough to buy an average
Kansas farm-dumped in the rub
bish.'
Declaring that Congress already
had appropriated several million
dollars for the New York fair, and
that there were prospects of fur
ther requests for more appropria-
tions, he attacked alleged destruc-
ton Of the statue.
Meantime Edward Bruce, chief OF
the Section of Fine Arts of the
Treasury Department, said he had
received threats" from Edward j
Flynn, United States commissioner
general to the Worlds Fair, warning
him not to discuss the matter. Bruce
was indignant at the threats" but
declined to make further comment
Yesterday he had said he could not
understand why anyone would want
to destroy the statue so ruthlessly.' ,
