day.
He began as portraitist and early
perceived the commercial value OF
establishing a fashionable and ex-
elusive reputation. He went after
the notables of his day with the IA
miliar zeal of our own. Society folk
stage stars, politicians, visiting celeb
rites even to the Prince of Wales
these were his game. Glamour was
not trade term in those years but
there Is no doubt that the little
1rishman appreciated its meaning.
But he was no man to rest on his
laurels. When the Civil War broke
out he was inf1amed with the vision
of becoming news photographer
too, and so set out on the undertak-
ing on which his fame today chiefly
rests. The world knows that he pho
tographed the war but the world
probably does not know on what
terms.
He received a dubious permission
to accompany the Union troops but
was obliged to finance himself. He
built up staff and distributed its
members among the Army, he ar
ranged for transportation, equip
ment and salaries and he paid for
everything out of his own pocket
He was frequently under fire. His
ubiquitousness became byword with
the soldiers, who dubbed his wagons
the "whatizzit." War correspondents
mentioned him, Tom Mast cartooned
him. He became familiar part of
the Union Army.
Commenting on the controversy
which has existed over the attribu-
ton of all the Brady" war pictures
to Brady personally, Roy Meredith
points out that, while it was obvious
ly impossible that Brady, with staff
of 20 in the field, did all the actual
photographing, he still retained the
direction of the work He trained
his men and gave them instructions
about the kind of pictures to be
taken.
Mr.. Meredith's book Is illustrated
with over 400 Brady originals, a
number Of which have never before
been published. One. of the latter
Is most interesting picture of
Pennsylvania Avenue in Civil War
days. Washingtonians today may
or may not hold in their minds the
fact that Brady maintained one of
his studios in the city from 1858 on.
1t was at Seventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
After the war Brady set out on an
illustrated lecture tour, utilizing his
war pictures as lantern slides. At
the back of the present book there
are 1876 of these photographs with
the accompanying text of Brady'sI
lecture, just as he wrote it out. 1T
is amusing to see that the demon
cameraman was not a demon speller.
The impressive thing about the
pictures contained in Mr. Meredith
volume is, beyond any doubt, their
excellence, this being particularly
true of the portraits. These have
indeed the mark of the artist on
them. Poe, Whitman, Irving, Lin
coin, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay
they were shot with equipment which
today an amateur would scorn, but
Brady brought out true character
studies in each case. In his scenes
of Army camp life, too, he shows a
sense of detail which the best mod
ern photographer would appreciate.
The book is immensely interesting.
No reader of history - particularly
of Washington history-will want
to miss it.

Bv FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Jan. Is - (UP) - It becomes my flabbergasted duty today to tell you about aviation's diamond-studded, 2l-carat, emer- aid-crusted, platinum trimmed la Dor controversy.
 As members of the American Fed eration of Labor, the pilots want $i8,500 a year, plus expenses, for flying four engineed airplanes across oceans. This works out to $355.76 cash a week for these union laborers, plus meals, hotel rooms, laundry, uniform pressing, and tips when they're at work.
 Their bosses claim $12,750 a year is about right. Nobody's arguing about the expenses.
 That's the background. Now l want to take your sweaty hand and lead you into the red-draped hear ing room of the Civil Aeronautics Board, Commissioner Harlle e Branch presiding. damned tight are the executives of the 13 U. s. air lines and the head men of the Air Line Pilots Association, the labor union demanding the wage raise.

 Laborers and employers alike are well tailored. Mostly they're getting bald spots because mostly they're in their early forties. They look like high-claSs character actors in Hol- lywood. I mean they appear suave and 1t is impossible to tell boss and union man apart.
 The argument, as in most labor strife, is complicated. The insults, aS in most such hearings, are magni-

ficent. The government at the mo- ment is trying to decide whether special committee from all the air lines can negotiate wages. The pi- lots want to argue with each air line separately. When the CAB settles that, they'll fight about pay.
 The red-haired union lawyer Daniel Carmell of Chicago, said the l3 air lines are a trust, trying to gang up on the pilots. Those were his words. When he said them somebody behind him missed.
 This is no place for snakes" he snapped.
 He said that if the air lines got their way in the negotiations there'd probably be a strike. AS he kept on talking, the air line chief tains laughed.

 The little two-engine jobs which have shuttled across this country for years loafed at less than 200 miles an hour. The pilots figure the faster the flying machine, the less work there'll be for pilots. They claim their wages should go up in direct proportion to the speed of the plane.

Motor Patrol Squad Follows Meagre Clue With Success; Bonds Forfeited In Parking Cases

Following adrolt investigation by the Motor Patrol, under the com mand' of It. Joseph Petit, an arrest was made last night as the result of an accident that occurred Mon- day. The alleged skip driver" James Fitzmaurice, 35, of S5 Ward street, received @ continuance to February when arraigned before Judge Charles R. Summa in City Court this morning on 8 charge of evading responsibility.
 It. Petit said that the accused is charged with being the driver of a car which struck another vehicle owned by Mona Levine, 46 Walnut street. After striking the Levine car It. Petit said, Fitzmaurice drove from the scene and left hardly a clue behind.
 However, witnesses gave police three digits of the marker plate of the alleged hit-run driver. An ex- tensive search then got underway and came to close yesterday after Sgt. Ralph Baril of the Motor Pa trol noticed a marker plate on a passing car that responded almost to the letter with the reported three digits given by witnesses.
 It. Petit, Sgt. Baril and Motor Patrolman James Sweeney traced the number to the Fitzmaurice ve- hicle, and the man, after being con- fronted with the evidence, admitted to being the driver of the car.
 Three cases of violation of the rules of the road were heard. Two were nolled for $6 and the other was continued to February 1 NolleS were entered for John Burns 24, of 24 Beechere avenue, and Marcy Stango, IT, of 868 Bunker Hill avenue. The continuation was
