But if we are to believe all we hear,
Latvia is resisting communication.
Only this week l received copy
of the Baltic Review, printed in
Sweden. Here is one paragraph:
with the coming scholastic
year war games will be introduced
as an obligatory subject in the
schools of all the constituent Soviet
republics, writes Gina. the organ
of the Communist party in Latvia.
The paper goes on to say that the
international situation demands
that children be taught the art Of
war as early as possible. Military
discipline should be instilled in
them even before they come to
school. Their toys should be model
tanks and planes and So-calld
children's 'mechanos' or building
boxes should consist of parts
whereof these objects can be con-
structed. The author relates about
his trip to Russia to study Soviet
education and military training and
remarks that IN. this respect the
Baltic republics are very backward
as yet. Pupils of seven and eight
in the schools of Moscow had dis
played quite surprising knowledge
as regards military matters. Ten
year olds had been experts with
the rifles and girls had been as
competent as boys. Even tiny tots
four and five had known the rudi-
ments of military drill. How useful
this proficiency may be in a gueril-
la war. exclaims the author
What is going to happen to

countries dominated by her?

CONFUSION:
And Spies

Americas current top thriller, the
Russian spy sensation, had devel-
oped more facets than cylindrical
lens in a lighthouse and each one
was binding to the eye Of the be-
holder.
The motley group of persons called
to testify before congressional in
vestigating committees was grow
ing and growing. It was getting to
the point where even the witnesses
had witnesses.
A sensational offshoot of the orig
inal spy investigation temporarily
stole the spotlight from the main
event. This was the battle of the
teachers-Mikhail I. Samarin
and Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Ko-
senkina, both U. NJ personnel.
The goings on over this pair of
Russian pedagogues seemed to be
fairly complicated but they could
be boiled down to sophisticated
international game of run sheep
run.
Both Samarin and Mrs. Kosenk-
ina had appeared on the scene as
potential witnesses in the congress
sional investigation. Then things
started to happen.
First Mrs. Kosenkina disappeared
for few days. According to the
official Soviet version, she had been
"captured' by a group of anti
Communist White Russians and
held prisoner. Then she was res
cued' by loyal U. S. S. R. SUBJ
jects. A few days later she leaped
from a window in the third story
of the Soviet consulate in New York
where, she said, she had been held
captive. Driven to desperation by
fear, she was seriously injured when
she took the only way out.
On top of all this the other school
teacher, Samarin, also disappeared.
He, too, was supposed to be in Gus.
tody of anti-Comnie White Rus
SLAMS. However, information leaked
out from the Samarin camp: He
wanted to testify; he liked the U. S.
and revolted against going back to
Russia.

YOUTH MONTH:

A1OOTeneSS
If the day should ever dawn when
every family in the nation becomes
fully aware that all juvenile delin-
quency has it's beginning in the
home, then U. S. society will have
reached it's Elysian fields.
Once families become endowed
with this awareness they will tend
to bring pressure to bear to elimi-
nate the secondary factors that con-
tribute to delinquency in young peo-
Pile: School failure, church failure,
bad housing and the inevitable shift
in ethical values from one genera
ton to the next which are some
times confusing and frightening to
immature minds.
To that end, and because a
healthy store of young minds and
bodies is the best overall insurance
any nation can have, September
has been proclaimed Youth Month.
The Theater Owners of America.
who feel they have big stake in
the welfare of u S. youth, have
undertaken to organize the princi-
pal media of information-newspa-
pers, magazines, radio and motion
pictures-to publicize the month.
Aside from the publicity to be ac-
corded the problem of juvenile de-
linquency, which is the immediate
purpose of Youth Month, the observ-
ance is more deeply significant in
that it provides some evidence that
Americans are becoming actively
conscious that at least partial
remedy must be found.
Springboard for Youth Month and
any other concerted group action
that might obtain is probing and
thoughtful report on juvenile delin-
quency by the National Conference
on Prevention and Control of Ju-
venile Delinquency, Washington.
D. C.
A digest of this report, or series
of panel reports, covering basic
causes and possible solutions Of the
problem, is well worth few hours
study on the part of every parent
who is aware of his inevitable falli|
bilities as a guide and leader Of his
children.

CROP REPORT:
MOnlentOUS

There was momentous news from
the nations farms: In the cards
for 1948 was a record-setting corn
crop, the second largest wheat crop
and substantial increases over last
year in oats. barley and rye.
Government estimates, as of
August l, of this years grain pro-
duction read like a statistical fam
tasy of the promised land.
Bureau of agricultural economics
reported that corn crop of $685.
1863, 900 bushels is indicated this
year, far above 1947's small. wealth
er-plagued crop of "a billion
bushels.
An approximate 1924. 1923, 900
bushels of wheat will be forthcom-
ing this year Other crop estimates
were: Oats. 1.47O, ,444,00O bushels;
barley, 313. l39,OO0 bushels, and rye,
26,664, 900 bushels.
Trouble grew out of the fact that,
although the huge crops are well
come this year, they may set the
scene for huge postwar surpluses,
mostly of corn and wheat.
Officials contend that there SIM
ply aren't enough animals left on
the nations farms to take care of
the kind of produc tion being
achieved this year, particularly the
corn outturn
Immediate result of this sudden
condition of overSupply probably
will be the governments starting
to support corn prices as soon as
the crop starts moving. Other
grain supports are likely to be
evoked later
Grain exports will be pushed, OF
course, but the export market is
almost certain to fall off in year
or so because other nations also
are intensifying their farm produc-
ton with considerable success.

The second round of the Wash

F. Sieweke tried q highly irregular

For the beginner we would advise
using straight front lighting, but
for those with more experience many
beautiful effects may be had in color
if either side or back lighting is used
with discrimination. Supplementary
lighting on outdoor shots must be
supplied from blue flash bulbs
never the transparent kind. Or you
can use some kind of a homemade
reflector, such as a bed sheet or q
cardboard covered with foil.
When posing persons for color
portraits avoid placing them in the
vicinity Of some strongly colorec
object. If subject is posed, fol
example, near a red building, the
face will, as a result Of the light
reflections from the building, have
a decided red cast. This also holds
true of other light objects, such as
white shirt or dress. AS matter OF
fact, you should closely observe light
areas like this to see that they are
not unduly influenced by some
strongly colored nearby object.
Needless to say, your best fall
landscape and garden shots will be
made with a camera that is mounted
on q tripod that will hold the in
strument steady during those longer
exposures that color film demands

film will only result in such a gen.
eralized mass as to preclude the
possibility OF having some center OF
interest or attraction. II you should
see some very large area that ap-
peals to you pictorially, try to break
1t down into a number of smaller
compositions and shoot each one
individually so that the striking
colors that attracted you in the
various areas can be individually
emphasized.
An exposure meter is a very neces-
.sary adjunct to any camerman's
outfit. This is particularly true In
color photography. Here light must
be measured very accurately if you
are to obtain the best color rendition
Even with good meter you will not
always get the exposure right ION

on shots that are of particular i'm
portance to make a couple of extra
exposures-one at one stop over and

Two lights were used, the main
light being placed almost overhead
and the second one on the opposite
side as a fill-in light. The result
ant lighting is soft and pleasing.
1t is suggested, however, that the
