Smiling broadly, MIR. Vishinsky re-
fused to specify what aspects of
the session he approved and which
he did not approve. He also refused
comment on the work Of the Foreign
Ministers Conference in London, in
which he will participate.
The Russians cabin was guarded
by eight men. AS correspondents
continued to ply him with ques-
tions, he smiled again and said II

ushered them out. He Is scheduled
to meet Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov in London later today.
Other arrivals on the Queen Mary
were Jan Masaryk, Czechoslovak
delegate to the U. NJ; Sir Hartley
Shawcross, British attorney general;
Hector Mcneil, British Minister OF
State, and several staff members OF
U. N. delegations.
Mr.. Masaryk, Czech Foreign Min
lister, described the Assembly session
as difficult" and said a lot Of big
things and a lot of little things were
done. Many speeches were un-
necessarily long and tempers were
unnecessarily short"
He added that nearly every one In
the United States seemed worried
and jittery. There's something like
hysteria over there, politically"
Mr.. Masaryk criticized the sen
sationalism" of the American press
and said that while he was in the
United States he saw newspapers
which devoted two and even three
pages to the murder Of one boy by
another.

To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
When a log jam breaks and men are
forced to hop, skip and jump over twist
ing, turning logs in order to reach shore
the danger of death Is remote in com
parison to the poor Washington pedes-
TRANS attempts to reach the opposite
curb III safety even when he is given
the so-called right of way.
The average driver, with rare excep-
tions, ignores the man on foot and will
sweep around corners sometimes at
breakneck speed. One steps from the
curb when the red light stops straight
traffic, only to hop back, as cars trim
corners. Patiently. the poor pedestrian
may try again to cross only to be
stopped in his tracks, as the light
switches to green, and motors rush by
as If life itself depended upon saving a
second.
Until the courts crack down on reck-
less, selfish drivers and impose really
stiff fines, or better still, some Jail SEN
tences, the massacre on our streets will
continue.

either of a prolongation OF the late
war or the dangers to our future ma
tional security which failure to
achieve the long-run fruits of our
victory would entail. He describes
the hopeful beginnings of a genuine
democratization Of Japan, including
the spread of progressive ideals and
the Christian ethic. Given time and
perseverance in our mission, this
better way of life can become
leaven of regeneration for the peo-
Piles of the Far East; which, in turn,
will render them good neighbors for
us across the Pacific, instead of dan
gerous opponents.
General Macarthur therefore con-
cludes that, once the magnitude of
the issues are understood, relatively
small and transient economies will
not be allowed to stultify our basic

Iqnorinq LocuI Sentiment

Action of the House in killing
daylight-saving time for Washing
ton is regrettable. It should be noted
that in taking this course the House
ignored evidence of the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of District citizens in
favor of the plan, but needed out
cries in behalf of farmers who
dislike having to rise an hour earlier.
About the only farmers" who would
have been directly affected by the
District law, however, are the
amateur gardeners, most of whom
in the past have benefited by the
extra hour of daylight for exercise
and recreation.
1t is probably true that farmers
in nearby areas would be affected
indirectly by daylight saving in the
District, for indications were that
neighboring counties Of Maryland
and Virginia would have followed
the lead of the District, in the inter-
est of uniformity in time reckoning.
In any event the Metropolitan Area
will be out of step with many of the
large urban communities of the
country this summer, for daylight
saving has become widely popular
as result of war experience with it.
In Washington, particularly, the
shifting Of the clock so as to pro-
vide additional time for sports or
hobbies in the cool of the evening
would have been a boon to those
who lead sedentary lives in Govern
ment Offices. It is too bad that the
wishes and the welfare of these
voteless citizens should have counted
so little in the final vote in the
House. There seems to be little hope
that the Senate will make any
effort to resuscitate the plan.

much a career as working for the Fed
eral Government in any other capacity,
the civil service retirement law should
be brought into line with that Of the
armed services.
Many civil servants enter the Federal
service at the age of 18 and make ca
reer of 1t. The best years Of their lives
are given in service to their govern
ment. Why, then, should this group be
required by law to serve years longer
before they can qualify for retirement
as distinguished from those who enter
government service at a much older age?
The present Congress should enact a
voluntary 25-year retirement law with
out discrimination as to age. This would
still leave the armed services with more
attractive benefits for those who might
be Influenced by this feature in choosing
a career. MISS FRANCES STROM.

Columnists and Lilienthal

To the Editor of The Star:
What's happened within the past few
days to the dauntless newspaper colum-
nists, yours included? Why the amazing
reversal on the illustrious Lilienthal?
Where's "the word" to back-up come
from? His record IS fairly transparent;
he was darling of yet more illustrious
Communist sympathizers, to employ a
euphemisn, and their native and foreign
buddies. Everyone knows it.
What is the meaning Of this obviously
manufactured espousal Of Lilienthal?
Isn't there an honorable, fortnight
American, lacking background of as
sociation with hostile foreign ideologies,
available for this job? Why this general
movement to thrust Americans, with
solid American background, into the
discard to make room for highly-publi-
cized foreigners, their toadies and bed
fellows, in government positions of high
trust and broad authority?

Pictures on the Spot

Apparently the American Optical
Society was not exaggerating when
it announced in New York City that
one of its members has invented "a
new kind Of photography as revolu-
tionary as the transition from wet
plates to daylight-loading film" The
announcement was accompanied by
a practical demonstration Of new
camera that is truly revolutionary,
judging from the news reports.
Designed and built by Edwin H.
Land, youthful inventor of Polaroid
light-polarizing plastics, the re-
markable camera not only takes
pictures in the conventional manner,
but develops and prints them in one
operation-on the spot. Snap the
shutter and turn a little knob and
out comes the completed picture,
ready for scrapbook or frame. 1t is
as simple as that.
Ordinary film is used, but as the
negative unrolls, after being exposed,
it is pressed by rollers against a
special sensitized paper drawn from
a roller in the bottom of the camera.
AS the negative and paper are
pressed together, a pod" or capsule
containing developing and fixing
chemicals spreads the necessary re-
agents between negative and paper.
When the picture emerges through
a narrow slot in the back of the
camera, the negative is peeled OF
and there is the permanent positive.
This means that the amateur or
professional photographer can snap
a picture or two to test focus, light
and composition factors before tax
ing the final shot. 1t takes only
minute to make each test. Profess
sional sidewalk photographers could
peddle the finished product to their
customers (although, on second
thought, this might discourage sales
in most cases.. All of this does not
necessarily imply the passing OF the
darkroom, however. No automatic
gadget is likely to be perfect sub
stitute for the skill of an expert pho
