Designer Predicts Peek-a-boo Dresses
 For 1850 Fashions

HOLLYWOOD, P) You can turn the page, men. This shouldn't interest you. It's just about a fashion prediction that women will be wearing skin tight under wear beneath transparent dresses in 1850.
 (Go on now men. turn the page.)
 It's film designer Eloise Jenssen doing the predicting and she claims with apparent seriousness, that fashion has been enslaved by women's underwear"
 Miss Jensen, through an alert press agent, announced her belief that slinky, full figured tights for winter and thigh-length shorties for summer will replace panties, step-ins, brassieres and girdles.
 The tights, she ayers, will be in shades of shocking pink, jet black and flesh tones. She goes on to predict that peek-a-boo, trans parent dresses-filmy and wispy- will be worn over the fancy tights
 Let's face it, women's under wear is gosh-awful, said the 23- year-old movie designer. "A stock ing attached to a garter belt is revolting. Your contemporary Wo- man with a dozen itsy-bitsy un- mentionables is as much martyr to s'yle dictates as grandma was to her painful corset. Skin tights will free style from the letters of ridiculous, ugly underwear"
 With a climactic bit of logic, Miss Jensen says the one-piece foundation garment she envisions will make outer garments sec ondary for the first time in fash ion history.

"Alaska Now" On Local BOokstands

Local bookstores are featuring this week, Herbert Hilscher's new book in Alaska, named, Alaska Now"
 Unlike most Alaskan authors, MT. Hilscher is a real Alaskan, having arrived in Alaska at the age of four years.
 He has been very active in the Fairbanks area, where he has been manager of the successful annual winter carnival. He is Fourth Div ision member of the Alaska De- velopment Board. AS editor of the Alaska Life Magazine for four years, he became well acquainted with the various aspects of life in the Territory, as well as his experiences with army during the war.
 In his book, Alaska Now" he paints a not too flattering pie ture of the various communities. and political set-up in Alaska, but quite reasonably factual in the main.

One.Step Camera Makes New Stride

it possible for the Photographer to
operate under varied conditions of
temperature, control size of the sill
yer grains, time the reactions of the
reagents and prevent print staining
or discoloration.
1t must be realized, however, that
the Land discovery will not be
panacea to end, for all time, the
woes of amateurs. Until further in
formation becomes available, We
must question certain aspects of
the process. It has been stated
that in some variations of the basic
process, 1t Is necessary to copy the
print to reproduce duplicate prints.
On the other hand, other variations
permit additional prints to be made
through conventional methods in
the darkroom. It is still not clear
whether the original print will re-
main permanent without washing.
But even though the process may
not be adaptable to all phases of
photography it will be a boon to
the amateur or other photographer
who has a need for only one contact
print for his album or collection,
It will certainly put an end to the
wait for the photo finisher to do the

stated that the invention could be
adapted to various sizes of cameras
from the professional view camera
to the small camera of the anna
teur. 1t was even predicted that
eventually the process will revolu-
tionize the production of motion
pictures and color photography. The
only steps remaining at that time
were those of design and production.
1t is now thought that the new one
step cameras will soon be available
to the public.
Early Correction Possible.
One great advantage of camera
that makes a print almost as the
exposure is made is that the pho
tographer will be able to see the
result of his work while still in the
location where the picture is made.
Should the exposure be worthless
for some reason such as poor ex-
posure, camera or subject movement,
or faulty focus, the mistake can be
corrected on the spot. Nowadays, if
you inadvertently ruin a priced shot
for one of these reasons, or for any
other reason, for that matter. you
may not realize 1t until the film is
developed days later, too late for
anything but regrets. But If the
new process is as successful as 1t
appears, you will be able to take
look at your work and retake any
shots that have failed.
The new one-step process works
this way: A specially prepared roll
of contact paper is inserted in the
camera as well as the roll of con-
ventional film. Small pods" con-
tanning mixture of both develop
ing agent and a fixing agent are
spaced at intervals along the roll OF
paper, one for each frame Of film.
After the negative has been exposed,
it is wound into contact with the
paper through pair of rollers that
break the chemical pod and release
the re-agent, and, at the same time,
press the negative firmly into con-
tact with the paper strip.
During normal fixing in a tank
or tray, the unexposed silver crystals
are washed away by the action OF
the hypo solution. But in the Land
process. as development takes place,
the exposed crystals are retained in
the hlm, forming a negative image,
and the unexposed crystals are
carried by the hypo and deposited
on the paper, thereby forming the
positive image of the print. Thus
Lands process makes both negative
and positive images in one opera
ton, eliminating the many steps
normally employed to produce a
print.
In addition to the developer and
hypo in the chemical pod, other
chemicals are present which make

Not long ago C. M. Slack. director
of the research department of
Westinghouse Electric, made pre-
diction. He said, Il see the year
2004 AID. as a year when atomic
energy will have been applied to
such an extent that it might lead
to a phase of physical decadence
in the human race. BY that I
mean there is a danger we shall
rely on atomic energy to relieve the
burden of mans physical exertion to
such a degree that, if not arti-
ficially prevented, we might become
parasitic in our physical develop
ment, perhaps even to the point OF
losing many of the co-ordinating
body functions"
Now that is pretty sad commen-
tary on the possible state of human
affairs in the not-too-distant fu-
ture. But if we examine just a
few of the latest contributions to
the field of photography it may ap-
pear that Mr.. Slack's worst fears
are being realized among the photo
graphic gentry way ahead of his
schedule and without waiting for
the coming of the atomic era.
We are in no position to predict,
Just now at any rate, that tomor-
rows cameraman will reach over
from his bed, press a button, then
60 back to sleep and later in the
day discover a mounted salon print
of some far-of scene awaiting him
in the darkroom, but Photographic
progress is so rapid these days that
1t is sometimes difficult to maintain
an objective attitude when fore
casting things to come.
The One-Step Camera.
AS a case in point, rumor now
has it that it won't be very long
before Edwin H. Lands miracle"
one-step camera will be on the
market. Even that staid and cau-
tious group of scientists, the Amer
ican Optical Society. said of the
Land process: He has devised a
new kind of photography as revo-
lutionary as the transition from
wet plates to daylight-loading film
If the Land invention will accom-
plish all that has been claimed for
it, and it is successfully adapted to
the popular size camera, then We
are indeed in for a new era in the
field of photography. Chemical
manufacturers are not tagging be-
hind, either. Almost every month
some new and advanced formula is
announced which will make dark
room work even easier than it is
now.
Mr.. Land, already famous as the
discoverer of Polaroid, claims that
his one-step camera will produce a
finished contact print 60 seconds
from the time of the exposure-this
without the need for a darkroom or
any of the usual devices necessary
for developing and printing photo
graphs. In short, the entire process
takes place in the camera. When
you take out the roll of film, it is
only necessary to strip the negative
away from the print-everything
else is done automatically in the
camera.
The Land process is no pipe dream.
1t has been demonstrated both for
scientific groups and for the press
and it worked perfectly. A little
over a year ago, when announce
ment of the discovery was made
public, officials of the Polaroid Corp.

the extent that the line of de-
marcation separating white pas
sengers from colored was obscured
and many times omitted. He said
the complaints stated that Negroes
were often sitting in white Sec

along with white passengers as a
result Of this violation of state
segregation laws.
The commissioner pointed out

and bus stations, be "strictly OBJ
served" and that the segregation
