Houston Cites Uplift
Effort Accompanying
Fight for Opportunity

Along with the Negro's fight for
equal opportunity goes constant
effort on his part to educate and
uplift himself so that racial inte-
grafton will strengthen Washing
ton and not harm it," Attorney
Charles Houston said last night.
Mr.. Houston spoke at the first
of a series of lectures sponsored by
the Interchurch Fellowship. at
All Souls Unitarian Church, SIX
teenth and Harvard streets NV.
Don't ever think we are asking
for anything except equality OF
opportunity" the prominent Negro
attorney said. But he added this
goal cannot be realized in the
presence of segregation.
I'VE are making some progress, "
he noted. There are manifesto
tions every day that, bit by bit
things are breaking in spots. They
will continue to break, because
time is on our side"
Cites Covenant Decision.
He enumerated gains which
have been made, including the
Supreme Courts refusal to uphold
restrictive covenants. Then ne
listed Irritation sources" that re-
main.
In the Washington scene" he
said, most Negroes feel less al
home than they do almost any
where else"
But, he said, the advances thai
have been made have been ao'
sorbed without any incident
largely because of 1.-The deceny
and sense of fair play by the citi-
zens generally" and that, II seq
reeation ended tomorrow, the pat
terms of Washington would not
change overnight"
Mr.. Houston declared that
forces of the real estate board
The Star and the lending institu-
tions opposed efforts of Negroes
to move into areas occupied by
white persons, before the covenant
decision. At another point he
said that The Star would not ac-
cept advertisements Of real estate
for sale to colored unless the
property Is in a Negro neighbor-
hood.
Hits School Segregation.
Mr.. Houston deplored the ex-
clusion of Negroes from service
on the transit lines, segregation
policies of the school system and
the Recreation Department and
the racial restrictions Of other
local bodies.
Discussing the segregated schools
he said, Il wonder how the COM
munity is equiping its children
when it doesn't teach them toler-
ance, a sense of brotherhood"
The attorney also went into the
reply of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations to the recent report
on segregation.
One point he mentioned was that
the Federation referred to the high
cost of health services to Negroes
Evening star., 1949-02-25

of how the many health agencies
and organizations of the city
should approach a program Of
public education. About 100 per-
sons attended.
DR.. Mayhem Derryberry, chief
of the Public Health Services Of
flee of Health Education, led the
discussion.
DR.. Winfred Overholser. chair
man of the section-an outgrowth
of the old Metropolitan Health
Council-said another subcom-
mittee also will be formed to
study needs of convalescent care
and the INDECENT sick.
Evening star., 1949-02-25

HE questioned whether the COM
munity might not save some of the
cost of the health, relief and police
protection services it pays, if it
permitted these persons to con-
tribute to the community, instead
of exiling them off to where, with
out hope, future or ambition, they
simply become drag"

Machine Can See
100 Million Colors

Two scientists have now come
up with an automatic machine so
precise it can distinguish more
than 1OO,00O,0OO colors.
The new device, known as the
general aniline- -librascope tristi-
mulus integrator, figures out the
answer to a series of computations
involving integral calculus before
a man attempting the same job by
hand can sharpen his pencil.
According to H. R. Davidson,
the General Aniline & Film Corp.
research physicist who invented it.
and L. w. Imm of Librascope, 1nc.,,
Burbank, Calf, who engineered
lit, the device, which integrates
continuously over all portions Of
the visible spectrum, will tell i'm
mediately whether given color
will match another color and, II
not, will describe the difference
between them. Without the inte-
orator, an answer to this question
may take hours to get, and even
then may be less accurate.

y Camera Angles -
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Although most of the work done
with q camera Is original, there
will be times when we will find 1t
necessary to copy the work of
others. It may happen that a
negative has become lost. so that
we must copy an available print.
Or we may find it desirable to
make a Photographic reproduction
of a document, book illustration.
painting or other material. This
is a job that is easy for the aver
age amateur to accomplish with
whatever camera and lighting
means that he may have at hand.
He must know a few essential facts
regarding lighting, exposure, films,
papers and the mechanics of the
operation.
The professional uses specially
designed copy camera on a hori-
zontal bed to do the job. The
amateur, who only has occasion
to make a copy only once in a
while, can do very nicely with his
own little camera or, in some cases,
his darkroom enlarger. Certain
enlargers may be adapted to copy
work through the use of supple
mentary head which will accept
film holders. If you can convert
your enlarger into copy camera,
do so by all means. 1t will save
you the trouble of trying to line up
your camera with the subject mat
ter to be copied. When the en-
larger is used the copy material is
placed in the easel or on the base
of the machine and the exposure
is made without any fuss or bother.
Because of the long exposure re-
quired shutter is not necessary
the lens is uncapped and then
covered after the exposure has
been completed.
It should be pointed out that for
