reporters that it was not i'm

But it is still in the discussion
stage"
Action Held Probable.
Amplifying, Mr.. Early said that
before anything in the way of
controls could be done an admin
istrative staff would be required
and that he would think that an
enforcement staff also would be
necessary.
He thought that action this
week was in the realm of prob
ability, but he couldn't say how
soon.
Asked if it was felt in the ad-
ministration that wage and price
controls are inevitable, Mr.. Early
said that "a large school Of
thought ascribed to that theory" !"
When the question of the Presi-
dent making radio speech was
brought up, Mr.. Early responded
that I'D say I've heard some dis
cussion." But he added that there
had been no date set.
Controls Are Inevitable.
Top White House advisers say
that wage and price controls are
Inevitable, and much depends on
how long it will take to set up Or
Plantations to administer them.
Leon Keyserling, one OF the
Presidents key economic advisers,
already has called for heavy new
taxes and boom production to deal
with Communist aggression and
home front imitation.
Some members of Congress
voiced approval of Mr.. Keyser-
ling's proposals but there was dis
agreement as to whether those
tools would be adequate without
wage-price controls.
Mr.. Keyserling declared that
wage-price curbs are important
and he indicated they probably
will be invoked eventually.
The Nation just can't enter on
a defense program of the size con-
templated without good many
more controls than we have now
and a good deal more rigid con-
trolls" Mr.. Keyserling said. Some.
he added, will come very soon.
Mr.. Keyserling, on a television
program, said that, while new
controls are coming, the main
reliance must be on sleeper taxes,
including higher income levies,
and on what he called Americas
greatest non-secret weapon
its tremendous production ca
pacity.
Cost Must be Borne by Public.

ing up the military must be borne

cvroior Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Now that American troops arr
engaged on an active battlefront
we can again look to the combat
photographers to play their usua
impressive role. Still pictures anc
newsreels will keep us informed o.
every action that takes place anc
even more quickly than in Worlc
War II.
The Importance Of photography
to modern warfare cannot be
stressed too greatly. The outcome
OF almost every battle of the last
war depended to a great extent
upon the camera and the soldier
photographers who made the pic
lures. Today, cameras are once
more acting as the eyes of oul
armed forces, revealing enemy
movements and Notifications as
well as simplifying movement OF
our own forces over difficult and
little known terrain.
Combat Photographers.
For some obscure reason our
combat photographers have never
received the acclaim that should
be so justly theirs. And yet the
risks that they take daily to re-
cord scenes of infantry attacks.
tank battles and other front line
activities often far exceed those
OF the infantrymen and other
combat troops who can concen-
trate fully on defending them
selves against the enemy attack.
A man with a camera glued to
his eye is a sitting duck for any
enemy soldier but you can't take
a picture from a hole in the
ground. Therefore the camera
man takes his life in his hands
even when covering a minor
askirmish. However. the pictures
; that he takes are of vital inpor-
tance for many reasons.
A tactical commander must
have some knowledge of opposing
troops before throwing his men
into a battle. Disposition of
enemy units and location of field
Notifications, ammunition dumps,
gasoline depots, railroads, supply
points, tank concentrations and
other vital information can be
quickly supplied by aerial recon-
Nuisance planes equipped with
cameras. Without this visual
means for studying terrain almost
at a glance most battles would be
stumbling, affairs with opposing
troops cropping almost blindly with
patrols aS the chief means of in
telligence reports.
Reconnaissance by Lens.
Because of the great advance
ment of photography in the past
20 years it is almost irnpos-
sible to conceal troops or materiel
from opposing cameramen. Re-
connaisance planes make daily
flights into enemy territory taking
pictures of woods apd fields and
towns as they go. The latest
pictures taken are then compared
to those previously taken and even
the slightest changes can be OBJ
served. A single truck crossing a
field will leave tracks that will
point to it's passage and destina-
tion if the scene is filmed whereas
the same tracks might be invisible
to the naked eye.

These men who make pictures
Of warfare as it is fought are vel
named combat photographers
They are not. as some suspect
photographers who are picked ur
from civilian life and rushed intC
a combat area. They are soldiers
first. They receive the same ar
duous combat training that other
front line troops get in the course
of preparation for battle. Basic
military training is a must for all
military photographers. They
then are given special technical
training in military Photographic
methods. This is either carried
out in the field under the tutelage
of expert instructors or at service
schools such as the Signal Corps
Photographic Center at Long
Island City, N. Y.
Seventeen-week courses are CIV

and still photographers in the

combat cameramen are given
further training in the field as a
Photographic company. Units OF

divisions. and learn to work with
the infantry, armored divisions

in this country and abroad.

to another as the fighting troops
are moved into the line. He sell
