The Camera Does the Rest
CNew York Times


 AS early as 1890 George Eastman selling his kodak by telling the world, You press the button, we do the rest" Since then the rest has come to shop to which the film is taken for trans mission to developing and fixing establishment It the taking and not the making of pictures in the chemical that Eastman greatly improved. Now comes Edwin H. Land with the startling announce ment that he has invented a camera which not only the button or bulb is pressed. Dr. Vannevar Bush, who sighed years ago in The Atlantic Monthly for a way of snapping pictures and looking at them immediately, has been heard
 When the motion picture invented and 1t became possible to project events the screen the need for quick developing and fixing urgent The steps necessary to shorten the process were re- duced Hot chemicals and ingenious darkroom mechanical devices made it possible to present a picture in a minute and less after exposure Blue prints have been produced with almost instantaneous rapidity, and mechanical processes have made it possible for visitors to Coney Island to see pictures of themselves a few minutes after they have posed in a dummy automobile fishing boat But all this is crude compared with what MT Land has done He simply presses the exposed film and strip of paper into sandwich. The ham in the sandwich IS sticky vet almost dry of developer and fiXer which is squeezed out of capsule. A turn ot knob and out comes the pcture-a permanent positive.
 All this seems so simple that usual, We wonder why it was not done before Though the chemicals are the familiar ones used darkrooms the process is really new. In ordinary developing and fixing, silver in the uneXposed is lost-Washed away This very silver forms positive which pops out of the camera when the knob is turned There is nothing like this in the history of photography. The method is not simple, but it is new.

ton of coal electric power and other basic items It calls for longer hours of work for enforced deflaon prices generally and for borrowing overseas to cover urgent imports of machinery for rehabilitation and modernization of French industry.
 It is a good plan. the work of eminent banker and economist Jean But it's usefulness hinges on the willingness of French workers to stay the job for relatively long work week and for their willing ness to forego strikes and pay increases.
 Before the project really beginning to show results some 5OoooOO government workers left their jobs in protest demonstration to enforce their de- mands for higher pay. Their action parayzed trans portaton, telephone communication radio broadcast ing and police services. Newspapers already were unable to publish owing to a strike of typographical workers
 To plunge a country into chaos in the very be- ginning of a notable effort to rebuild it's shattered economy is. indeed. grave responsibility Yet this suddenly conceived, spontaneous walkout. It was planned in detail and organized fully. Parading strikers in great numbers carried Communist emblems and sang the Internationale
 This in itself proves little, for the Communists the largest single political group in France today and their strength is among organized workers Yet the Haunting of their Communist affiliaton may be the clue It is possible that the French Communist party has chosen to give up it's policy of constructive cooperation with the coalition government and it's support of the Monnet plan.
 If that is the fact, the outlook for France is indeed grim The best hope of recovery and stability for France lay in the willingness of the Communist controlled trade unions to stay the job and extend their work week. But if unions of government em- poyees will not hold the line against nfation other and larger unions will not do either And that will mark the defnitive failure of the French four-year pan-before it has chance to prove it's worth.

Soviet satellite scajeS.
 England, which also has never been in close contact with the Rus sians, has become more Soviet minded than ever before. Britain's exceptionally cold winter and Bri- tish confusions have played into Russias hands. If a Conservative Government rather than a Labor Government were now running England, there might have been revolution this winter.
 All this boils down to the fol- lowing:
 What we do now, during the crucial postwar period, is going to shape the course of the world for years 10 come.
 It is not war or big armies or navies that we have to wOr- ry about for the next five or ten years; it is the problem of becoming an example to the rest CT tHe WUTlu, OI HldkiuS the USA ihe best-run, most humanitarian country in the world.
 It is the problem partly of strikes, less profits, and not hogging the road.
 And it is also the problem of continuing wise, fortnight, but generous foreign policy.
 Finally every American has got to consider foreign affairs as absorbing as the sports page or the murder headline.
 That is one mans opinion of our best and perhaps our only chance to outsmart the Russians at their own game.

TAXES AND THE COST OF LIVING

Proponents of the proposed net income. gross income and general property tax program for Alaska now before the Territorial Legislature argue that one of the reasons such needed is because of the increases in the cost of living since 1945.
 We wonder if any consideration has been given to what effect imposition of these new taxes would have on the cost of living?
 Without doubt, increased taxes will mean an even greater in the cost of living in Alaska already high and soaring higher.
 The people of Alaska should know by now that you cant get something for nothing. No matter how sweet words of the high tax advocates sound the people will still be called upon to pay the bill. Prac- tcay all taxes regardless of whether they are levied directy on the individual eventually passed along to John o Public Only the gold mines, and perhaps a few other isolated businesses would not be able to pass increased taxes along in the form of higher prices.
 So when they tell you that the capitalist is going to pay for the most of the proposed increases figure it out for yourselves Most businesses in Alaska today to- and it is apparent by now that they can expect no relief in Federal taxes The merchant faced with high wages and increased taxes has only recourse raise prices And where does that put you, MT and Mrs Wage Farmer? Right behind the eight ball
 New taxes will only help to further increase the cost of living, if taxes are piled on this year two years from the argument will be that the cost of living has increased so We must have more taxes

HENRY WALLACE FIRED

Last September there appeared to be change of Soviet policy. It be- gan immediately after Henry Wal lace published his letter to Truman urging better relations with Russia, following which he was fired from the Cabinet
 The storm of anti-Russian criti- cism which broke in the American press during the Wallace incident undoubtedly worried the Kremlin. Also it removed Russia's che friend from the Cabinet. Prior to Wal laces exit, Moscow could expect that U. s. policy toward Russia would be divided After Wallace's exit, they knew it was united. They knew the entire nation was almost 100 percent behind the Byrnes be- firm with Russia policy.
 Accordingly, Moscow executed enc of its famous somersaults.

Later he came to New York on a British passenger vessel, mingled with fel- low passengers, was courteous with neWsmen. acted almost like a hu- man being

The Russians even agreed in prin- ciple to the al-important U. S. proposed policy of permitting inter national inspectors to visit atom and munitions plants on Russian and other foreign soil
 Many American observers were elated. They felt that Russian pol icy had really changed, that the Kremlin had decided on friendship with the United States, not badg- ering friction, and that we in turn should forget our alarms and Wor- Ties.

ground out from under Russian 'crl- tics and from those who urged a powerful U. s. Army Navy
 But meanwhile il you examined carefully the facts beneath-the- surface, there appeared to be no ac- tual change of Russian policy.
 For it was an unacceptable fact that while Molotov was being con- ciliatory in New York, the Moscow press and radio were pouring out a steady stream of anti-American vitriol to the Russian people. It was an escapable fact also that Russian commanders in Korea were thumbing thelr noses at a formal agreement to cooperate with the United States in governing Korea, that the Soviet was ignoring pre- vious promises regarding the evacu- ation of Manchuria, doing it's best to stir up trouble in Greece, pres surfing Norway to get an Arctic base in Spitzbergen, and working night and day to undercut the United States with it's own neigh oCrs in Latin America.
 But, most important of all, So- viet Ambassador Gromyko during this period of so-called conciliation was stalling on atomic energy. Af- ter muddying up public opinion by paying lip service to the principle of international inspection, he pro ceeded to back and-fill, talk and delay. until the American public was too confused to know what to think. All it was sure of was that atomic energy is a very complicat- ed subject.
 Finally, Gromyko showed his true colors only two weeks ago by flat ly rejecting what everyone thought he had accepted in principle-in- ternational inspection of atom and arms plants. Incidentally, he did this just alter information was re- ceived in this country that Russia had developed a small atomic bomb of her own.
 In other words, during the six months since Henry Wallace left the Cabinet, Russia has executed a very clever. very conciliatory right ahout-face-on the surface But be- heath the surface her policy has remained exactly the same,

GIN Talks Resumed
After New Proposal
BY Auto Workers
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, April 22.-Negotia-
tors for General Motors Corp. and
the CIO United Auto Workers had
new union proposal before them
today as they resumed contract dis
cussions.
Walter p. Reuther, UAW presi-
dent, announced what he described
as "an entirely new proposal" to
the corporation yesterday, but said
only that 1t would affect "over-
all negotiations" and that the plan
would be reported fully to the GIN
council Of the union here Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Reuther made his announce
ment after q three -hour negotiat-
ing session.
Soon afterward came a report
that the UAW had discarded its
original 1914 per cent hourly wage
increase demand to accept q Is
cent corporation offer, but Mr..
Reuther described that statement
as "a bad guess"

hint as to the contents of the offer
from either company or union, recent

less than the UAW demand led to
speculation that the auto union
might be ready to agree to less
than 231a cents.
Yesterday the CIO United Steel
Workers came to an agreement with
the United States Steel Corp, on q
contract providing a 121a cent hourly
increase plus slightly more than two
and one-half cents in what the
union termed additional benefits.
The agreement followed a wage
increase pattern set a week ago BY
the United Electrical Workers, who
settled with GIN for q raise equiva-
lent to Is cents hourly. r.
Another CIO Union-the United
Rubber Workers-made a similar
pact yesterday with the corporation.
