Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-08-03

The infra-red photographer will get
you if you don't watch out. He sees all,
knows all, tells all-after dark.
Making his way about in the interest
of knowledge and truth, the photographer
of today has only TO whip an infra-red
bulb into his camera TO find out. No longer
is there mystery in the darkness. Night
gives up its secrets. Even the whereabouts
Of Moses II. Doakes when the lights went

infra-red photography will become the
rule. Depending upon the accuracy Of
light source and filters, it can be employed
to make exposures where there is dimness
of artificial or day light.
But even without war the technique
will come more and more into use. Up to
now the news photographer has been a
limited Johnny-On-the-spOt. He was pretty
much stymied when darkness fell. He was
helpless in learning what was what and
who was who. And where and when and
why.

SALE OF BOATS TO ALIENS HIT BY NEW ORDER

The Juneau Customs office started issuing warnings to boat builders, notifying them of g new provision under the declar- ed national emergency which fo1 bids them allowing any non-citi- zen to buy, lease or take a fin ancial interest in any ship under U. s. registry, or building any boat for an alien, without first obtaining approval from the U s. Maritime Commission.
 The new law comes as an amendment to Section 37 of the Shipping Act of 1916. AS part of President Roosevelt's declar- ed state of national emergency, it is aimed at prevention of any alien group getting any hold on American shipping facilities or securing boats now under U. s. registry.

CEILING PRICE SET ON SUGAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. = The government set price ceiling of three and a half cents a pound on raw sugar, slightly below the present price.
 This will mean a price of ap- proximately five and eight tenths cents a pound as the re- tail figure on refined sugar sold in United States grocery stores, it was explained.
 Price Administrator Leon Hen derson said, There is more than enough sugar for everyone. Spec u ators have been endeavoring to reap a huge profit at the expense of consumers.

NATIONAL DEFENSE EXPAN- SION PLANS TOLD BY RETTIE

If national defense plans pro- gress as planned and the present state of national emergency lasts that long, in 1944 there will be approximately 23,5OO,OOO civil ians working in defense indus try, about 3,5O0,OOO in military service and the national annual income will amount to $1O5,OO0,- 900, ,00O.
 Such were the figures on na- tional defense expansion paraded by J. c. Kettle acting counsellor of the National Resources Plan- ming Board, before the luncheon meeting recently in Juneau of the National Federation of Fed eral Employees.
 With these figures in mind and the knowledge that when the de- fense emergency passes there will be a great let-down in en- ployment, national planning boards are already at work on solving the problem of keeping these millions of defense work CTS employed at the end of the defense pogram, Kettle pointed out.
 Legislation is now pending, Kettle told the Juneau federal employees, which will give Presi dent Roosevelt a fund to finance surveys of work projects which may be started at the end of the defense era.
 Dr. George Dale, of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, also addressed the luncheon meeting, reviewing the automatic promotion pro- gram bill for federal employees which has recently passed both houses of Congress. It will sub- stitute a promotion policy based upon efficiency records for the present haphazard method of pro noting Uncle Sam's workmen he declared.

CA TO TEST NEW TYPE TENT

The Experimental Board at Ft. Richardson recently received from the Seattle Tent and Avn ing Company its newest expert mental tent which will be test ed shortly by members of the AC unit at Ft. Richardson. This new tent, known as a semi-pyra midal," is expected to fill long felt need here in Alaska, where, in order to secure mobility, you have to get away from bulk.
 The tent can accomodate 10 men with a Sibley stove quite comfortably. It's new design not only eliminates the bulk, num- Der of necessary pins and weight Of the old pyramidal, but will, it is believed, be easier to keep warm a prime requisite in cold climates. It Is constructed of a new processed dry waterproof" material known as shelter tent material.
 The newest addition weighs only 54 pounds, uses one upright and no ridge poles, takes only g tent pins to erect as compared to the 56 pins the old pyramidal takes.
 It is IA feet by 13 feet and 10 feet high in front, and slopes to the rear where it is 4 feet high. IL has 2-foot side walls and waterproofed floor, which may be snapped into position as re- quired.

WASHINGTON. D. c. CAMP
Jerome "Brud" Holland will coach
at Lincoln for the next three years.
This information, although unoffi-
ciaI, comes as an end to the duery
as to where Holland would be this
fall. Previously, it had been an
nounced that Holland had signed
to coach at Hampton and would as
Sist Coach Griffin with the Pirates.
Later information leaked out that
Holland had been approached by
Lincoln alumni, after learning
that Holland would not be drafted,
and offered a three year contract
after he had signed with Hampton.
A wire from Hampton said Off
icalS there knew nothing of the
change in Hollands plans and we're
confidently expecting the former
Cornell end to report to take charge
of his lineSmen at an early date.
That was early in August. Nothing
more came out until news came
through Washington early last week
that Holland had been signed and
had agreed to the terms offered.
At Hampton, Holland was sup
posed to have had a teaching as
signment as we'll as taking over the
line coaching chores, and the Pi-
rates were jubilant at having sign
ed the great Holland. But at that
time, the draft situation hadn't
been cleared up, neither is it be-
lieved that Holland is definitely
slated to go back to Lincoln where
he has been working with a great
degree of success since he left his
alma mater.
