Whiskey Makers Slash Production
To Conserve Grain For Famine Relief

Washington, May 6--The nations
whiskey makers slashed their produc-
tion schedules 40 per cent in line
with the governments newest effort
to scrape up grain for famine relief.
1t was the sharpest reduction i'm
posed on the industry since peace
time distilling was partially resumed,
but it coincided with fresh official
warning that the present world food
crisis will continue into 1947.
An Agriculture Department order
cut distillers' use of grain during
May from the five days production
capacity allowed during the past two
months to three days.
The effect will be to delay still
further a result of plentiful quality
liquors. But an industry spokesman
in New York said there is no imme-
diate prospect of a liquor shortage
The department said distillers' use
Of grain during May will not exceed

afternoon. Only small amount of

thing to work on.
Tough but very important
is Greenfield lake. An annual
Azalea festival is planned
next spring, and pictures will
play a leading part in bring
ing folks here to make a. sue

next to impossible to record
the beauty of azaleas on black

flowers were blooming, but the
best scenic shots you can make
around the lake will come in
mighty handy. All Wilmington
has awakened to the untold tourist

Speaking
Photographicauy
BY HUGH MORTON

We thought we had gone into the Chamber of Com
merce photo contest thoroughly, but one photographer says
we haven't. He thinks we should set out our ideas for
pictures that will make the best showing in the contest.
That we shall do, though we make no promises that the
judges will agree.
Fishing is probably of first priority right now. With
the big fishing Rodeo coming up next month, the Chamber
will need several good shots to promote it. The traditional
shots of man with pole and catch, staring straight at the
camera, are a dime a dozen, so the print Of a live and Tipping
whopper being hauled in is the one that will pay off. We
have no such picture, and off-hand know of nobody who has

LOMIS DEAN

Next time you come around you
can shake the hand that shook the
hand of LOOMS Dean. The ace
Life staff man, who this co.umnist
rates as the hottest rock in maya
zine photography today, was with
Bill Sharpe at MoreAead City do
ing a story on the Duke Marine
school. We could not resist accept
ing Bills invitation to drive up
one afternoon to see genius at
work.
You have see Dean pictures
in one publication or another. His
excellent shot of a clown and q
giraffe was on the cover of Life
not long ago. If you saw U. S.
Camera in April you have not for.
gotten his full page photo of g
beach art class painting a scene
which contained a thoroughly ex.
posed girl swinging on a scrut
pine stump. The latter picture
you will agree, was tops for light
ing, tone, and composition, not IL
mention subject matter.
LOOMS uses a Rolliflex camera
almost exclusively, and he snaps
ten pictures before one realizes ne
has started work. Speed and witt
skill enable Dean to turn out sew
eral picture stories a week TO,
Life, Parade, Pageant, American
and others.
LOOMS made his start as
circus press agent, and was a 20tf
Air Force cameraman in the Pa
cific during the war. A peach o
a guy, Dean has seen enough o
the world to know that it is bes
to try to get along with folks h,
