The Smithsonion institution

The 9hnIfhSonion Institution
should 60 along on its own merits.
These people feel that any deviation
or change from the original image
will spoil the photograph and make
it something entirely apart from
photography. Others hold that
photography, being q form Of art,
should be adaptable to any changes
that will allow the photographer to
more perfectly express his own in
dividuality as an artist. 1t Is
significant that most of those who
proclaim themselves advocates of
the purist school are incapable of
using control processes to an ad-
vantage.
The extreme literalness of photog-
raphy in its basic or initial form,
with every detail brought into sharp
focus, is somewhat of disadvantage
when it serves to obscure the broader
meaning of the picture AS a result
an emphasis is placed on many
things within the composition when
it is the intention of the photog-
rapher to focus attention on one
point or center of interest" The
painter avoids this situation by
suggesting detail without actually
achieving it. But the lens of a
camera is indiscriminate and every

Is chairman, and which reports to
the Standards Committee Of the
PISA Technical Division, explains
that the PSA lightbox has served
the excellent purpose of standardiz-
ing illumination for print judging,
but has been found to be bulky, in
convenient, and to provide excessive,
poorly distributed lighting. The
report expresses the belief that the
society should establish new meth
DDS of print illumination which
may be duplicated by any amateur
photographer In his own home with
equipment customarily used for in
formal portraiture or copymaking
Plans are being made to demon
strate the new method of illumina-
ton for print judging at one or
more OF the clinics to be held dur
ing the annual PISA meeting in |
in November.

The photographer is at somewhat
Of q disadvantage when he and
painter set out to interpret an
identical scene, one with his camera
and the other with his paints. The
artist painter can, and does, remove
or add objects to his composition
and when his work Is finished, he
has depicted the scene as he saw"
or interpreted it. The ugly telephone
pole that pushes up into the sky is
of small consequence to the painter.
He leaves 1t out. A pile of rubbish
on the side of the road receives the
same treatment-it never appears
on the canvas. The matter OF a bald,
cloudless sky is also of small import
because the paint puts in the clouds
with a few skillful strokes of his
brush.
1t takes the photographer only a
minute or so to set up his tripod and
expose the scene on film. But when
he does. he records the telephone
pole. the pile of rubbish, and his sky
is blank on the negative as it was
when the exposure was made. He
might move his camera to avoid
these detracting features, but at the
same time he might lose the perfect
angle that made the scene desirable
to record. There is very definite
answer to the dilemma of the photo
graphic artist if he is possessed of
a small amount of manual skill. He
may 60 right ahead and shoot a
scene that is somewhat less than
perfect from a compositional stand
point. Later, in the darkroom, he
can, through one of several control
processes, proceed with perfecting
his composition and, with little
extra work, produce a finished pic
ture that conveys his feelings and
emotions as truly as did the paint
and brush of the other artist

Controversy long raging in anna =

conditions for judging prints in
salons and camera club contests
appears to be approaching settle
ment.
Preliminary report by q special
study committee of the Photo

Gates that proper judging may be

Further recommendations call for an
easel to replace the standard PISA

from reflector lights placed one on
each side and forward of the easel,
preferably at angles of IS degrees
and at such heights and distances
to yield 10-foot candles Of illumni-

will have an unlimited control OF

any size and in a wide range of
colors.
If you are interested in turning

them are available to any photogra.
pher who will spend the time neces-
sary to their proper accomplishment
In some cases special equipment will
be required while in others, the
paper negative process, as an exam
pie, will require little more than will
be found in the average dark room.
Paper Negative Control
Among the most well-known con-
troll processes are, gum printing
fresson, oil, carbon, carbro, bromoil
and bromoil transfer. Any of these
may be used to alter the original
composition either through removal
of certain features or the addition
of others.
The paper negative method of
print control is most commonly used
because of its simplicity of opera
ton. The paper negative is made
usually by series of printing opera
tions which ultimately render a
negative that can be worked on by
almost any one who is fairly skillful
with an artists stump and a razor
blade. Others prefer to make their
paper negatives directly in the
camera with very fast paper and
a long exposure. Beginners inter-
ested in control measures for alter
ing negatives should try the paper
negative method first since it does
not require the experience and
equipment that some of the more
complex processes call for.
Another interesting control meas
ure is the gum printing process
which was originated about 1858
and still is considered by most pho
tographers as the most outstanding
Multiple printing with gum will pro-
duce a longer scale of tone values
than any of the others and is par
ticularly suited for low-key work.
Gum also serves to soften prominent
outlines while at the same time it is
faithful in its rendition Of detail
Carbon Printing.
Carbon printing is fairly easy fol

ing in water. After that you will be
on your own and you will find many
interesting possibilities inherent III
this medium for the carrying out
of personal ideas concerning scale
composition and key. Carbro is 9
method which is quite similar te
the carbon process. Fresson likewise
belongs to the carbon group.

Army Throws Swank Affair at Denver : Doies, Cor
 sages, Stars, Everything

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 30.-tR- Colcrado's first postwar draftees pinched themselves and wondered if this is the Army.
 The Army threw them a swank party last night. It made them Cinderella Generals. Tough old sergeants jumped at their com mands. The Brass looked on and smiled
 There were dates and bands and songs and comedy. And there was food that never graced a wartime chow line.
 When it was all over, they went back to warm hotel rooms in- stead of the cold tents of wartime induction centers. But today, they head for Fort Ord, Calif., and the realities of basic training.
 The party was all part of the Army plan to prove there's a new look in soldering But it still was by the numbers. The 22-page script for the affair was hig enough to swallow D-Day order. As one inductee put it.: We weren't exactly invited. We weren't exactly ordered. They told us very nicely that we had to go. It was all part of the things we had to do the day we were inducted."
 There was little of the old hurry -up-and- wait. The group was told to be on hand at T p. m. The party got underway 35 minutes later
 A sergeant lined them up and paired them off with their dates. USO and YWCA hostesses in for mai gowns. Sixty-one men were slated for induction, but six were turned down at the last moment. Nobody remembered to tell the girls there were six spares.
 The couples marched in. The program called it Grand March slow stately march to left of dignitary guests table down center aisle in a column of twos up to the stage and from there to their designated tables'' The men pinned corsages, also courtesy of the Army on their dates. The girls pinned stars on the men and gave them printed commissions as General for the night.
 While 30 sergeants sat on the . dance floor and ate c rations, hotel walters served orange juice, prime ribs, rissolle potatoes, peas, salad, rolls and butter, ice cream, cake and coffee.
 ! There was a floor show. Then there was dancing.
 At midnight the band gave out with a roll of drums and 12 loud bangs with the cymbals The par ty was over. The girls went home. The sergeants lined the men up shouted forward march and took them back to their rooms,

 IS SET up IN BERLIN
Communists, Acting on
 ] Russian Orders, EIect Mayor, Magistrate
(By the Associated Press)

German Communists, who act at Russias pleasure. set up today a separate government" fer blockad-
 ed Berlin. It is opposed to the elect
 ed, anti Communist government
 which will hold elections in western
 Berlin Sunday despite Communist
 and Russian boycotts.
 The Communist action virtually
 completed the division of the city
 just when hope arose for solution
 in the United Nations of blockade
 the Russians imposed last June. The Reds set up their govern
 ment" at a rally called for what was termed decisive measures for the protection of United Berlin" | They elected their own mayor,
 Friedrich Ebert, 54, namesake son
 of the first German president under the Weimar Republic. Then they elected magistrate for the city, giving places to men long since dis
 owned by other parJieS.
 ' Argentine Foreign Minister Juan Rramuglia got Russian acceptance i to compromise Berlin plan pro-
 viding for a neutral commission of experts to handle technical and rrocedural phases of the conflict The blockade itself and Russian in- sisteuce that only Soviet-backed currency circulate in Berlin arc | the main issues. The Western Pow CTS accepted in principle.
 American, British and French
 military governors tried in Frank furt to settle differences over the occupation statute which will show 1 Tow much power the Western Ger man government is to have. French fear of strong Germany is the
 main obstacle.
