Whv Only The Gumb|ers-

By this time we've gotten rid of the pallor and the
bloodshot eyes that we acquired watching the Kefauver
hearings on TV. About the only one who looked healthy
were the %gangsters and the politicos who interrupted
their work, respectively, in sunny Florida and Mexico, to
answer Halleys questions.
In fact, the guy who had a sun tan usually stayed
in hiding. Otherwise, he'd be stopped by every Tom,
Dick and Harry, who'd ask, when are you seeing Ke-
fauver 2" On second thought, omit the Dick, for all the
dicks seemed to be too busy preparing their own stories
for their TV public.
But working men have a few questions to ask too.
Suppose we ask a few of them right here.
Sen. Kefauver, why did you call up only the gam
blers and the politicos? Doesn't much of our corruption
stem from an entirely different source?
What about, for instance, the big business boys
who called in goons to terrorize unions and to break
strikes? Your committee only barely limited at that.
What about a lot of the socaled budget economy
boys? What about their operations against the peoples
welfare services, carried on behind the scenes?
What about the employing interests in the South
who own the Dixiecrats? What about their influence in
beating employment practices?
What about the pressure exerted by the big in
surance companies? Why not investigate what they have
done in promoting Jim Grow housing?
Those last few questions about discrimination are
especially important, Senator. The world situation is such
that we must have allies throughout the globe. But the
millions of human beings who live in Asia and in South
America have only one test for our democracy. AS every
reporter who returns from abroad tells us, that test re-
solves itself into this question: When will you Americans
get rid of discrimination?
Well, Senator, that's a good question to ask, isn't
it? Why not get at the heart of things by asking some of
the truly influential folks what their record has been?
It won't be a pretty record, Senator. The record
of business in maintaining discriminatory practices is
just as ugly as the records of Costello and Erickson. And,
believe it or not, Senator, the methods were similar.
But let's get it out into the open. Let's take this
long step forward to get rid of discrimination. Senator
Kefauver, no less than our nations destiny depends on
It.

William j. Nucker lost to Herman

been entered for the strategic

while Oscar Shapiro. the only
player who had still a chance of
overtaking him. played black
against Comdr. Charles D. Motifs
Giucco Piano, and and could only
draw. Shapiro still holds second
place with 5-2. since Comdr. Mott
equally failed to catch up with
him. There are four players in
the 4a-21a bracket. but they are
thus differentiated by S-B scores:
M. C.. Stark, 1878: Mott, 1880;
Coleburn. 14.75. and Malcolm H.
Wiener. 1925.
Stark defeated Carl Gardner
after skirting innumerable pit
falls on the white side of the
Meran defense, which turned into
a witches dance Of tactical COM

Corner
Coins
By Ted Hommer

Libroriun. American Numismatic Association
Many collectors provide their
own holders and cabinets. Nu-
ingenious methods of
collections have thus re-
suited.
One of the most common meth
DDS is to make or buy a frame
with a glass cover. A washer cut
ter is used to cut holes in card
board. Holes the exact size of
coins to be mounted are cut. One
disadvantage of this method is
that a collector sometimes adds
to a series, and must either house
the new specimen separately or
remounJ the set.
Blocks that retail at as little as
2 cents each can be purchased and
put in such frames. Holes in the
blocks range from some the size
of a large pin head to those big
enough for large medals. The
blocks can be moved to make room
for new specimens.
Many collectors today buy
sheets of clear or colored plastic
and saw or cut out holes to fit
their coins. The sheet bearing the
holes is covered with two other
pieces of plastic. a top and bot
tom. Plastic screws hold the
three sheets together, with the
coins securely inside.
One of the major problems o1
collectors is preventing coins from
furnishing, and little difficulty is
found in this connection with
coins mounted in plastic. Plastic
holders also can be purchased
from dealers.
Other collectors make small
wooden trays which fit into home
made cabinets. Glass the exact
size of the inside of each tray
may be laid on top Of the coins
to protect them from cabinet fric-
tiona

Mulched beds and borders give
greater returns the second season
than the first although the only
difference is an additional layer
of mulching material. The ex-
PLANTATION may be that the lower
level of mulching material has
broken down and is now available
to the growing plants.
In month or six weeks it will
be time to sow the seeds of bien-

now so as to have them ready for
planting in late July or early

and columbine. Almost all peren-

of the summer so as to be large
enough for transplanting to the

It's just about time to start

planting to the garden in late
July. 1t takes six to eight weeks
to grow plants to transplanting

Staked tomatoes yield more per

those allowed to sprawly upon
the ground. Moreover, the quality
Iof the fruit is much higher and
jstaked plants are much easier to

All tomato plants should be reg

to protect them from the late
blight.
The foliage to tulips daffodils
and hyacinths is beginning to
show signs of maturing. They
should be dug promptly. cleaned
and carefully dried before storing
for the summer. Do not dry tulip
bulbs in the sun if you would
avoid having the protective coat
ing crack. Hyacinths should be
dug. Tulips, if deeply planted in
a well-drained soil may survive
without too great a loss from
decay, particularly if the soil is
well mulched to keep it cool.
Daffodils need not be dug unless
they are to be thinned and reset

Camera Angles
A Glossary of Photographic Terms
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
curoior Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

A negative" is the Photographic
image recorded on film when you
make an exposIre with your
camera. In the negative the tone
values of the original subject are
reversed with the dark areas OF
the subject appearing light in the
negative and the light areas OF
the subject represented as dark
in the negative. When a print is
made these tone values are again
reversed so that the picture is a
true representation Of the sub
ject.
Sizes in Motion Picture Film.
The 8-mm. and 16-mm. sizes
of motion picture film are popu-
lar with amateur photographers.
One is simply film that is 16
millimeters wide. This measure
ment includes the entire film in
cluding sprocket holes. The space
upon which an individual frame
is recorded is 7la by 10 milli-I
meters. The 8-millimeter film
has a frame 3.75 by 5 millimeters
in dimensions. Either is satisfac-
tory for home movies. The To-
nm. film is often used by profess
sional movie cameramen in the
production of training films and
newsreels for television shows.
Flash powder" is something
for you to stay away from. It
was in common use years ago for
making instantaneous exposures.
The powder is ignited in a fash
gun and throws an intense light.
It is far too dangerous for anna
teur use and. as a matter of fact,
is seldom seen these days since it
was replaced by the flashbulb,
which can be fired by any one.
A 'telephoto" lens is one which
enables the photographer to pro-
duce on the focal plane of his
camera a much larger image of a
scene at a great distance than
would be possible to obtain with a
lens of normal focal length for
that particular camera. A wide.
angle" lens permits the photogra-
pher to include a much greater
angle of view than the normal lens
would. each being the same dis
tance from the subject.
The "unipod" is sometimes ia
cetiously referred to as "a one
legged tripod" Actually it is a
camera stand with only one sup
porting leg. UnipodS are handy
when you want to shoot your pic
ture in hurry and don't have
time to adjust the three legs of a
tripod.

1t could be said that the spring
bloom, masses Of bright colors
that are so desirable. is past, and
that now we must settle down to
the enjoyment of summer-f flower
ing ANIMALS. Unless the summer
border is well planned this may
he quite true. Certainly the
spring floral parade this year was
unusually fine. The daffodils put
on quite a show, the tulips came
when conditions were very favor
able. and the same might be said
Iof the iris season, although the
ground was on the dry side. The
aZaleas and rhododendronS opened
without more than a day or two
of hot sunshine to dim their
brilliance. Then the roses put
on what many considered to be
an excellent showing. All in all.
the annuals will start off under
"a handicap. However. there is no
reason why We cannot still buy
and plant many of the summer
fiowering ANIMALS and keep our
gardens bright throughout the
season. Late plnatingS of ANIMALS
may well take over the space left
by the dying foliage of the early
Towering bulbs.
Now is an excellent time to
look over the garden with a criti-
cal eye. While we planned it with
care last winter, guided by cata-l
logue and reference book descrip-
tions, now Is the time to appraise
the success or failure. Study the
effects and then determine what,
IL anything, is needed to improve
the desired scheme. Examine the
older paintings, noting those that
are not longer desirable, either
because they have outgrown the
space or do not produce the floral,
foliage or color wanted. Make
Icopious notes Of changes to be
made at the proper season.
The azalea lace-fiy is apparent
Ily present in large numbers. Dust
or spray for its control. Nicotine
sulphate is good spray although
lit takes considerable force for a
sprayer to put the material where
Ineeded-on the undersides of the
leaves. Dusting sulphur is good
and so Is parathion. but while
highly effective. this material is
dangerous and should be used with

chlor. Even lime busted lightly

Admiralty Division 0f Forest Service In New Offices

The office of the Admiralty Di- vision of the Tongass National For est of the US. Forest Service has been moved from the Federal Building to the Forest Service Ware house building. The new offices are located just off Willoughby avenue and adjacent to the sub- port.
 The move was made to relieve the crowded conditions which existed in the Federal building and in order that all of the people connected with the Admiralty Division may have offices in the same building. All division activities are now located in the warehouse and office build- ing and it is hoped that the public can be better served.
 The Admiralty division includes all of the national forest land from Cape Fanshaw to Skagway on the mainland. It also includes Admir- atty, Chichagof. Baranof Islands ana all of the adjacent small islands The national forest land in the vicinity of Yakutat is also included People having Forest Service busi- ness to transact within this area are requested to go to the new of fees when they are in Juneau. The mailing address of the Admiralty division will remain the same ai before.
