AN ENGLISH SOUTH COAST
TOWN. Oct. 4-The first group OF
American members of Britain's new
Civilian Technical Corps" to work
on the radiolocator have arrived In
England and found themselves sub
iect to military discipline, even
though they are carefully classified
as civilians.
Most of the Americans, whose ar
rival was permitted to be disclosed
today as they were formally well
coined by Air Marshal Sir Philip
Bennet Joubert de la Ferte. will start
helping to man Britain's radioloca-

They and a few others who are

there after major details Of the

FEC. Begins Hearing

Brood Attack Against
Commission Authority
Is Indicted
By WILLIAM ]. wHEATLEY.

The Federal Communications
Commission tomorrow will begin
hearing oral arguments attacking its
rule prohibiting any one from oper-
ating more than one radio station
serving substantially the same area.
More than a score of individuals and
corporations which have been Ii
censed for yearS.to operate more
than one radio station have filed
briefs and appearances which indl-
cate broad attack not only on the
rule. but also on the commissions
authority to promulgate such a
rule
The rule was one of several which
was an outgrowth Of the long in
vestigaCion of alleged monopoly in
broadcasting, the report on which
already has had a preliminary air
ing before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. The effect
OF the new rule. 1t was said, Is to
declare a monopoly the operation Of
several stations by individuals or
corporations. or even through in
terlocking directorates or stock
| ownership
Louis Wasmer, Inc. hcensee Of
| Station KHQ. and Louis Wasmer,
| operator of Station KGA, both at
| Spokane. Wash said the attempt
| to deprive stations Of their licenses
through enforcement Of the rule
would be a judicial conclusion that
| a monopoly exists He informed the
commission that the Federal COM
municat tions Act. under which the
commission operates. says that the
fact that o monopoly exists first
must be determined in a judicial
! proceeding. On an affirmative find
| ing in such a proceeding in the
courts that in certain situation
there is a monopoly, then the COM
mission could act, it was contended.
1t was further asserted that be-
fore a license can be revoked for
any cause the station first must be
given separate hearing and the
commission has no right or power
to issue a blanket order against
such ownerships.
The National Broadcasting Co.
which says it owns and operates
seven broadcasting stations and
leases three which it operates. con-
tends also that the commission has
no authority to adopt such a rule
It also argues that any cOnstruc-
ton which attempts to make the
rule operative also would operate &c
make it unconstitutional

Patience. work and forethought'
are three main factors in making a
! successful prize winning amateur
| snapshot, according to r. A. Ro-
| names. whose picture of a little
black -and-white goat enters the
194l finals of the Newspaper Ma
tional Snapshot Awards here next
/ week
How a surprise one night at a
/ bridge game led to his success was
explained by Mr. Romanes in a
/ letter to The Star. His goat pic
I ture won him the S25 annual Star
I prize for the best animal picture of
the year and entry in the national
contest.
The idea of the picture came TO
me" he said, when I found a goat
perched on the hood of a friends
car as we we're coming away from
a bridge party.
Borrowed a Goat.
while this sight may not have
seemed so funny to the car owner,
it did 10 me. Still. much as I like
pictures, I was not exactly pre-
pared to have a goat perch on the
top OF my own car and so duph-
/ cate this scene. But 1 figured it
| would be easy for a goat to climb
on a letter box without having its
hooves scratch the paint on my car
Il borrowed q 9month-ol
goat, but since it was in new sur
roundings knew it would be rather
1 difficult to expect the goat to antici-
I pate my wishes by jumping on the
letter box. I lifted it on the box
myself, where it balanced with the
greatest of ease.
L soon found, however, that the
goat was more interested in the
green grass Az feet below the box
Cand which it was eyeing with the
keenest Intensity than its perch on
the box itself. And so it came
about that the goat jumped several
times to the ground before got my
picture. In each case it meant a
race TO catch it before I could get
the goat back in position.
All this bears out my contention
that so many of the pictures people
see in newspapers, magazines OF
exhibitions are not of necessity the
product of extraordinary skill or
luck, but are more often the result
of patience, work and forethought.
Doesn't Take Expert.
MY observation is that one does
not have to be highly trained ex-
pert or genius to take nice pictures.
If it were necessary one would not
find so many beautiful pictures in
most everybodys collection.
Most any moderately priced fold
ing camera will turn out the finest
kind of pictures. I have one that is
nearly worn out and that is what my
goat picture in your contest was
made with. 1t has an f45 lens. but
l rarely use it wide open, and fol
the type of pictures I make very
much slower lens is fast enough. ]
do like fast lens, however, because
1t makes it easier on the eyes tc
focus the image on the ground glass
And then, too, it is nice to have
the necessary reserve power if q
fast-action shot is wanted.
In so far as the film size is con.
cerned, lean more to the larger
size than the miniature type

are known in Washington. He made

Movie VanlpS
Are Again
On the Loose
BY BURDETTE JAY

HOLLYWOOD, May Holly
wood vamps are loose again.
Ever since the old days when
Cecil b. De Mile produced an
epic in a one-room shack. the
vamp has been in great demand
in Hollywood. Today almost every
studio boasts at least one.
Theda Bara twisted mems
hearts with single glance. Then
there were Gloria Swanson, Mia
Naldi, Betty Blythe, Clara Bow,
Mae West, Jean Harlow and many
others.
Even the younger players are
beginning 10 exert their charms 10
full cinema advantage. Among
the 'teen-age vampS June PreiSser
is considered one of the most win
some.
June's latest movie victim is
Jimmy Lydon. who has the title
role in Paramount's Henry Aid
rich for President" In the same
picture she uses all of her appeal
when she sings a song marking
her initial singing sequence on the
screen.
Siren roles have skyrocketed
many an unknown into overnight
fame in one picture. Jean Har-
low became the rage after her
appearance in 'Hells Angels" The
same thing is happening To
blonde Veronica Lake as a result
OF her part in Il Wanted Wings.

fed in the vamp list. In her first
two pictures she appeared oppo-
site Jackie Cooper and portrayed
typical young school girl flirt
In "Of Mice and Men" she en-.
acted a more mature role anc
put more oomph into her vamT
/ character. However. in her fatcS'
film, shepard Of the Hills" she
plays a straight role.
Like Swanson, Nita Naldi anC
the others, present-day stars sucl
as Hedy Lamar and Paulettt
Goddard can sway their leading
mans reasoning by a flash OF al
eye or the move of muscle.
Yep, the vamps are on the loose
again in Movieville-and nobody il
Voicing objections.
