Army's Camera Mighty as the Sword

The Army may be short OF planes,
tanks and guns. The taxpayer may
be short Of cash, automobile tires,
gasoline and sugar. And the inspi-
rational radio speakers may be rum
ming out Of adjectives.
There's one thing, however. the
country's not short Of. In fact we
have plenty for the A. B. c. D.
powers and maybe one or two left
over even for the Axis, II 1t wants
some. This is the land OF plenty
when 1t comes to pictures, especially
pictures made by the triangular d.
vision of cameramen working dnder
the United States Army Signal
Corps.
Day in, day out, week in, week out,
month in, month out, the picture
editors of the Nations newspapers
quail under the withering barrage
Of Army cameras. They could
blackout their ofiices in no time at
all with one mails supply OF prints.
Often. when the next mail arrives,
they wish they had.
Pictures, pictures, pictures. A dol
lar a print-if they were paid for
at commercial rates-and 500 .
week would not exaggerate one
weeks supply for one newspaper.
Figure it out for yourself. How
many pictures would your income
fay have paid for? Maybe 1t will.
You never know.
One days supply of pictures
from the United States Army Sig
nal Corps dealt with the war as IT
is being fought on the Puerto Rican
fror.. There were, in the bundle
received by The Star, exactly 80
prints. II The Star used all these
pictures about four pages would be
required for reproduction. But that
is not as many pictures as The
Star received recently on the sub
ject Of skiing. There were 157 ski
pictures in all from the Army. And
as the Army sent the same pic
lures to the Photographic services
to which The Star subscribes, 20 OF
the same ski pictures bounced back
into The Star ONCE from the pic
ture services, forcing the picture
editor to wear smoked glasses to
avoid snow blindness.
But getting back to the Puerto
Rican front, that days batch Of
pictures contained touch Of
novelty, owing to the fact that the
Army's Official caption writer OBJ
viously got tired and repeated him.
self over and over again-repeated
himself exactly 80 times Every
caption began with the salutation:
Watch Your Credit. U. S. Army
Signal Corps Photo, Washington. D.
c., March 81. 1912. This tpicture,
snapped in Puerto Rico, shows the
precautions our Government has
taken to insure complete defense
against any enemy" And then fol-
lowed a line describing the partic-
ular subject of each of the 80 prints.
The first one, No. !, was rather
encouraging to the timid taxpayer.
for it showed 1t. Gen. Frank M.
Andrews, commander Of the Carrib-
bean defense area, smartly stepping
out OF an airplane carrying a swag-
ger stick and looking rather con-
fident.
But picture No. I left the same
taxpayer . bit skeptical. Bearing
the same caption-"This picture.

precautions our Government has
taken to insure complete defense

Repeal Of D. T..
Tax on Outside
Firms Asked
House Unit Delays
Action on Boundary
Row With Virginia
By JAMES E. CHINN.

Repeal of provision in the District
income tax law requiring out-of-
town manufacturers to pay a per
cent tax on net profits from business
done here as we'll as $40 annual
license fee was recommended today
by the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
Of the House District Committee.
An amendment to the law repeal
Ing the provision is expected to be
approved later in the week by the
full District Committee so that House
action can be expedited.
The full committee, meanwhile
decided today to delay action on
legislation to settle the old District
Virginia boundary dispute pending
disposition of the McCarran resolu-
ton which would return to the Dis
trict the area in Virginia receded
many years ago
Airport Involved.
Primary purpose of the legislation
Is to fix the location of the WASH
ington National Airport. One of the
bills under consideration would place
the airport entirely within the Dis
trict and another would locate 1t
entirely within Virginia.
The tax amendment approved to-
day was drafted by the District sub
committee following protests against
the provision by group Of House
members and furniture manufac-
turers who declared that furniture
prices would rise unless it was re-
pealed. The House members who
urged repeal included Representa-
tives Monroney Doughton, Barden,
Satterf1eld and Burch, all Demo-
Gratis.
Copies Of the amendment were
ordered sent to the complaining
House members for consideration as
we'll as to Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech and 10 " Nor
gan of the District Board of Tax
Appeals.
The amendment would make the
tax and license fee applicable only
to out-of-town firms which have an
office or place of business in the
District.
Three-Way Split Seen.
Views expressed by District Com
mittee members at an executive Ses-
sion indicated they are now split
three ways over the boundary con-
troversy. One group is said to
favor the bill placing the airport
in Virginia and another is support
ing the measure to locate it in the
District. The third group favors
placing the airport in the District
on condition that the sale of liquor
there be prohibited.
Sale Of liquor at the airport has
been one Of the most troublesome |
questions in connection with efforts
to adjust the boundary argument.
II located In Virginia only beer and
light wines could be sold at the air
port. If placed in the District, hard
liquor could be sold there In addi-
ton to beer and wine
Representative Smith, Democrat, |
Of Virginia, who has led the fight
to place the airport entirely within
that State, has repeatedly declared
Virginia would never allow hard
liquor to be sold there. There are
no barrooms in Virginia" he de-
clared, "and the people of Virginia
don't want one at the airport"
