Supreme Court Test
OF Dies Committee
Raids Expected
Judge Orders Arrest
Of Two Investigators
In Philadelphia

The legality of Dies Committee
raids appeared to be headed for
Supreme Court test today in the
wake of court action in Philadel-
phia yesterday when Federal Judge
George A. Welsh issued an order
for the arrest of two committee in
vestigators and a policeman charged
with conspiring to deprive a Com
munist OF civil rights.
Judge Welsh, according to the
Associated Press, made it clear he
wanted to create test case when
he directed issuance of warrants for
Police 1t. Albert Granitz and the
investigators-George F.. Hurley and
Chester Howe-who were accused
by Carl Reeve, Communist candi-
date for the United States Senate,
and other Communist leaders of in
vading their constitutional rights
In a raid on Communist headquar-
ters Tuesday in which truckload
Of material was seized. Candidate
Reeve said he was denied the right
to summon a lawyer.
Declaring he would be "very
happy" if the Supreme Court re-
ceived the case as quickly as pos
Slble, Judge Welsh said:
II hope we will not sacrifice free
dom and liberty on the altar of
patriotism. Tolerance on all sides
is necessary today. The men who
conducted this raid might we'll and
honestly have been doing their duty.
I don't want this to degenerate into
a one-man decision"
Action Against Dies Refused.
Judge Welsh rejected a sugges-
ton from counsel for Mr.. Reeve that
some action be taken against Rep
resentative Dies and members of his
House committee.
"Disciplining of Mr.. Dies, if that
be necessary, lies elsewhere" he
commented.
At another stage in the hearing
the judge remarked, I'VE all have
to admit that it the committee) has
done some very good work"

grave matter, and it is to be re-
gretted that Government agencies
could not adopt some other method
Of getting facts
Mr.. Reeve declared none of the
material confiscated by the raiders
was subversive to the Government.
With counsel for the International
Workers Order, whose Offices also
were raided, he asked for return of
the material. but Representative
Dies said it already had been placed
in the committees records here.
Dies Appeals to People.
In counter-move, Chairman Dies
last night appealed ito the people
of this country" to decide whether
his anti-Communist drive was right.
Mr.. Dies, who has said he would
try to send every Communist leader
to jail unless they revealed their
party membership lists, issued a
statement saying that, according to
the press, Judge Welsh has assigned
as his reason for the issuance of the
warrants his belief that this issue
should be passed upon by the higher
courts"
Il think" he added, that the
entire question as to whether or not
agents of foreign dictators, who
claim constitutional rights and
shirk constitutional duties, can le-
gally conceal from the Congress and
the American people their true
names and un-American activities
must be Immediately decided by the
people of this country"

p RAvE you tried any snapshots in
color yet? Well, you'd better
take third mortgage on the
old homestead and get going! Espe-
cially if you have a growing child in
the house - the ideal subject for
color stuff. Your wife, your brothers,
sisters and your parents come in this
category. too. For while you probably
have some speaking likenesses" Of all
of them in black and white. you'll
never appreciate what breathing

color snaps.
Nor is the field limited to portraits

cry. especially with good blue skies
and clouds. just beg to be recorded
naturally. and no holiday trip can be
complete any more without at least
some color records of the high spots.
For those who like still-life work. the
field is wide open. In fact, anything
you do in black and white can be done
more dramatically in color with very
few exceptions. Night stuff is one field
that is largely out. yet even that has
its exceptions. l got some night shots
at both the San Francisco and New
York Worlds Fairs that are joy to
my heart. for any such riot of colored
lighting as is found in carnival at
mosphere is made to order for this
new medium.
There are few simple differences
between black-and-white and color

however. First, the lighting for color
work must be fiat: if you're using
artificial light the lamp should be right
beside the camera: if you are outdoors
the sun should be directly behind the
camera.
The side or the back lighting that
adds 50 much sparkle to black-and-
whites will get the color beginner into
lots of grief. Sunlight is not essential.

Indeed, some of the finest color shots

day when the lighting was soft but
perfectly fiat.
Another factor you must remember
when working indoors with color is
that the background must be illumi-
mated as we'll as the subject, or else its
color will look artificial. If the subject
is more than one foot away from the
background it is necessary to use
another light to illuminate the back
ground itself.
About the only other important
departure from usual black-and-white
technique is that your exposure
must be right on the head with color
film or you're sunk. Black-and-white
films have so much latitude that you
can under or overexpose quite a bit
and still get good print. but you can
make up your mind right now that
you have no such leeway with color.
Hence, if you don't own a meter, then
get one of the color-exposure guides
that are sold in all camera stores and
you'll have no trouble.
Color film is naturally slower than
black and white. but plenty fast
enough for snaps at l rs of second
at f8 or III in bright sun. And indoors
you can make instantaneous shots at
+ 8 with one No. IL flashbulb at six
feet from the subject. So you don't
need an expensive camera or costly
gadgets for color snaps: the camera
you have now and the lens you have
now can be used for color, for there is
no essential difference between this
and snaps in black and white.
You don't even need a minicam
taking IS nm. film. for today you can
get virtually any popular-size film in
one or the other of two standard
brands of color film in rolls or cut
sheets as you prefer. Color film will
cost from four to five times what you
pay for your particular size in black
and white which. frankly. is amazingly
cheap considering the results you will
obtain.
In any case, order that mortgage
and get going!

Church-goers of Alexandria should

So ruled Judge James r. Duncan

of violating State Sunday blue laws.
Thus, according to Judge Dun

by members of President Roosevelts
