Soviet Ring Around Berlin
Assai|ed by U. 5. Official
BY the Assoeioted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, April
25.-An American official today
described as insane" the wartime
decision which gave the Russians
occupation territory completely
surrounding Berlin.
The assertion came from Robert
M. Hanes. chief of the Economic
Cooperation Administration in
Germany addressing a touring
party of IS American educators.
He said that despite the hard
ships wrought by the decision it
was imperative that Americans
remain in Berlin.
Mr.. Hanes said no one man was
responsible for the decision per-
mitting the Russian zone to ex-
tend all the way around Berlin.
1t was taken by persons who be-
lieved Russia could be appeased. !

Clever Propagandists
Using Newspapers,
Publisher Warns
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, April 25.-William
Dwight, general manager of the
Holyoke CMass.) Transcript -Tele-
gram, said today that Clever
propagandists" are using news
papers ito put their subversive
ideas across"
Mr.. Dwight was among speakers
at the first session Of the 64th an
nual convention of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
He was chairman of the session
devoted to publishers of news
papers with from 10000 to $4,000
circulation.
General sessions will be held to-
morrow and officers will be elected
Thursday. The final event of the
convention will be a banquet of
the associations Bureau Of Adver-
tising Thursday night, at which
former President Herbert Hoover
will speak.
Sees "Phony Security"
Mr.. Dwight said major prob
lem Of free press is "the drift in
this country toward a welfare
state, toward socialism, toward
anything you want to call it."
Everything which has made
America the envy of the world .
he said. I'VE are now throwing
away for a phony security and a
creeping collectivism."
He urged publishers and editors
to resist the propaganda of pres
sure groups which "to gain their
objectives would be willing to de-
stroy our free press and the per-
sonal liberties we cherish"
I'VE print columns of propa-
ganda," Mr.. Dwight said, under
the guiSe of news advocating those
things which we know threaten to
destroy us. We justify it on
the basis that we are broad mind
ed and want to give both sides of
the story.
Says 700 Papers Suspend.
IF we only would give both
SIDES of the story. Instead, the
clever propagandists are using us
to put their subversive ideas across
while many Of us stand by sill
emily"
Mr.. Dwight told the publishers
that I'VE must make money to
keep our newspapers strong and
healthy"
Declaring more than TOO daily
newspapers have suspended pub
lication since 1929, he asserted,
"A free press cannot run under
deficit financing.
Plan to budget your opera
tions. After establishing esti-
mated income, why not make the
next step the budgeting of profit
on the basis of a percentage of
gross income?"
Saying "the normal procedure
is to estimate taxes and costs and
take what's left for prof1ts,'' Mr..
Dwight asked: ..
Why not reverse that pro-
cedure? Figure out what profits
are necessary to maintain
healthy paper and plan from
there on.
If the department heads are
asking so much that the profit
goal will not be reached, it's up
to the publisher to determine
which comes first"

rected in the final one. However,
if the original negative is of high
quality, various stages if the proc
ess to follow will, be found easier.
If the original negative is found
to be of high contrast, and the
final delineation to be expressed
is a soft one, it can be accom-
pliShed through this process. If,
on the other hand, the negative
is of too low a contrast, it can be
corrected with equal ease.
"The positive. Positives may be
made either by contact or pro-
lection. Where the negative is
small, it is advisable to enlarge
it to 8x10 inches as it is much
easier to apply correction and
alterations. Use a slow emulsion
such as commercial films. Do not
use process films unless excessive
contrast in the final negative Is
desired.
THE method of arriving at ex-
posure Is as follows: Procure an
8x10 film holder and load it with
a film on one side and a sheet of
paper cut to size on the other, the
side loaded with the film should be
marked for identification. Put the
holder on the easel under the pro-
lection machine with the paper
side up. In this case, of course,
the black slide is drawn out. Onto
this paper. which is held in the
holder, project the image and ad-
just the size to, the limit of a
composition. Turn out the light
in the protector. turn the holder
around so that the film will be
facing the protector, and slip the
holder back into the original posi-
tion. Pull the slide out, then ex-
pose. The amount of exposure
given depends upon the intensity
of light. density of negative and
the contrast of the final negative
desired. One has to experiment
and establish his standard from
which he can vary according to
the amount of greater or less con-
trast desired.
Formula for Tone Control.
Local Tone Control. Having
made a positive, it may be found
that some portion needs to be
lightened in value. If such is the
case, use local reduction, the
standard formula for which can
be found in any Photographic
manual. However, for control of
this kind. the solution should be
greatly diluted. I have found the
following satisfactory: Potassium
permanganate, u ounce, water 10
ounces, sulfuric acid, "a ounce.
Use saturated solution of potas-
SUM permanganate, made by dis
solving permanganate crystals in
a small volume of hot water

RAINY DAY: A glimpse of the
French Quarter of New Orleans
on a rainy day. photographed by
Byron Hale. of the National Pho
tographic Society.
While gazing from his hotel
window in the French Quarter of
New Orleans on a rainy day, Mr..
Hale was impressed by the silvery
shimmering light and decided to
record the scene. He used AXIS
Graphic camera with 127-mm.
Ektar lens set at FIJI and on ex-
posture of 1925 second on Eastman
Xxx film. His print includes about
two-thirds Of the negative image.
Analysis of the print by Harry
B. Shaw, Of the National Photo
graphic Society. This is an un-
usual type of photograph, both on
account of the point of view and
the subject. It depicts both a
striking arrangement of angles
and an atmospheric effect not
often recorded. Apparently the
lens was focused on the rectangle
in the center foreground. The ex-
poSure was not brief enough to
show raindrops. But the increas-
ing diffusion and softening of out
lines occasioned by the rain as the
various objects became more re-
mote is quite apparent. However,
the most striking effect is the
silvery character Of the diffused
lights. caused perhaps by each
microscopic raindrop partly alb
sorbing and partly rejecting the
diffused light from the sky. The
graduation of this silvery light
from the dark tones of the fore
ground to the extreme distance is
even and continuous. The writer
does not regard this as pictorial
scene, but it does record an inter-
esting atmospheric effect from an
unusual point of view.

Wherever greater intensity is

plication with the first weak dye,
you may proceed with stronger
dye. using the smaller one of the
two brushes for detail work and
the larger for large areas. You
may carry this as far as you like,
but remember, at this stage your
job is to darken values.
Making Second Negatives.
"The second negative. There
are two ways Of reconverting the
image into negative. One is by
contact printing. the other is by
re-photographing the corrected
positive. If you happen to have
an 8x10 enlarger, the former
method is to be recommended. If
you have a small size protector,
then the second method of re-
photographing the positive is pref
cradle.
In order to do this you will
need a light-box. Such a box
contains grooves at one end where
a positive film, sandwiched be-
tween two sheets of glass, can be
inserted, while the other end holds
a sheet of opal glass. Place a
NO. l photoflood with a reflector
at distance of about feet from
the opal end of the box. Point
the camera toward the positive
which will then be Illuminated
and re-photograph.
In increasing or decreasing
contrast from the original mega
tive. remember that longer ex-
posure and shorter development
Will yield less contrast, and shorter
exposure and long development
tends to increase the contrast

the method I have been using
successfully for years. 1t has

In Pennsylvania, lumbermen at
tributed higher prices to a short
age brought about by floods in the
South and increased freight rates.
But the Southern Pine Associa-
ton. according to the press asso-
citation, said demand over produc-
ton is the only answer and that
it knows of no Government buy
ing. A Wisconsin lumber yard Of
fetal blamed the Public Housing
Administration as a cause. But
little or no actual construction of
public housing has yet started.
Many districts, said the AP,
blame lumber exports. But a
check showed that exports of fir
the big export species-have
fallen of.
In spite Of the rumors. the sur
vey indicated there was nothing
mysterious about the price rises.
Builders are going ahead with a
big construction program; they
have found plenty Of buyers, and
they have committed themselves
to fill the demand. Therefore, said
most observers with whom report
ers talked. abnormal demand
brings q tighter supply situation
and the opportunity to jack up
prices and wages.
But no one seems to be worried
greatly as yet, and there is q dis
position In many Washington
quarters to consider the rough
weather as only temporary and
not presaging a real storm ahead.
If costs should continue to rise,
however. 1t is certain that many
families now expecting to buy a
house would be forced to change
their minds.
