Joe Valentine, one Of movie

a gadget that brought depth to
the screen back in 1910. It's
gathering dust. No studio will
cough up dough to back the
project.
"Two-dimensional movies we
have now look flat-flat actors
against flat scenery" explains
Valentine, who's up for an Oscar
for photographing Joan of Arc"
a movie that cold've used a few
more dimensions.
Lighting Now Used
I'VE use lighting now to try to

are chosen carefully so actors

Miss T. looks twice as whistle
able, and Humphrey Bogart ap-
pears to dash with his gat right
into the audience. Trees look
rounder and people look like
people, which would be a change.
And the moviegoer who gets
stuck in a side seat won't have
to squint at long thin men on a
distorted screen, either. Miss
Turner looks round, no matter
where he sits.
Needed Special Glasses
Years ago one company billed "a
three-dimensional movie" in thea
tres, but that was fluke. You had |
to wear special spectacles to see
curvier curves.
The new dimension comes from |
a prism that's inserted behind the
camera lens. That costs about
$500. The camera then gets two
images instead Of one. Prisms
would have to be installed in every
theater-projection machine in the
country, costing another $500 per.
mot half as expensive as sound
was to INSTALL" snorts the camera
man. And it would bring change
and greater scope to the screen as
sound did. Bring customers back to

Create Health Hazards

NEW YORK.-Industrial repre-
sentatives have joined with New
York city officials in issuing a
warning concerning disposal of
burned-out fluorescent lamps.
At a conference called by the
department Of health !. apd santa

ually contains beryllium, toxic
substance.
It was said that skin cuts from
broken tubes might cause a con-
dition known as granuloma, be-
nign skin tunor. There also is a
danger in inhaling dust from bro
ken tubes.
The conference, including rep
resentatives Of firms which man.
ufacture the tubes, unanimously
adopted this list of precautions for
disposing Of burned-out tubes:
/. Keep discarded tubes away
from children.
2. Never break tubes or place
tubes in incinerator or open con-
tainers in the street.
8. Deliver tubes directly to refuse

in heavy paper. Never handle bro
ken fragments without gloves.

Entering Annapolis from a seq
regated high school, Mr. Brown
was burdened with the problem
of social readjustment, he says.
Also, he was at an educational dis
advantage in comparison with the
others in his class. He offers this
advice to Negroes who desire to
enter the Naval academy:
"The most important thing is
fervently to desire a naval career.
If you have any other reason,
you'll find the going tough. This
coplies to all midshipman candi-
dates. Academic background is i'm
portant. Go to college or prep
school for a year. Major in math
and English. You should have
plenty of practice in expressing
YOURSELF quickly and clearly I'M
der pressure or you'll surely end
up '%cluthching'.
"Attend a school which non
segregated, if possible, so that
your only problems at Annapolis
will be academic and your ener-
gies won't be dissipated in social
establishments. Read all the books
you can about the Navy and get
training in a Naval reserve unit.
Know so much about the history
Of the Navy that entering Anna
polls will be no shock to you. And
after you arrive, remember that
while you are in the Navy you
are an American naval officer
