 McGraths father was a promin- ent member of the Knights of Col umbus and one of his fathers jobs was to handle K.C. insurance. So, through his father, young Howard got to know most of the Irish in the small state of Rhode Island.
 On top of this, Howard married the daughter of the leading French Canadian, Estelle Cadorette, one of the loyeliest ladies now in the cab- inet. There is a heavy French pop ulation in Rhode Island, and the marriage didn't hurt him at all with the French voters.

The reports on Anchorage and Haines are now in preparation :: the others are completed. A survey Of the type has also been made of Northwest Alaska.
 Sundborg says the reports are made available to the public and to outside industrial interests. He says the ADB is now getting out a second edition of the Northwest Alaska report.
 The Valdez survey will be con- ducted at the request of the Valdez chamber of commerce.

SHREWD PARTNERSHIP

In addition, McGrath formed a law partnership with the leading New England blue blood of the state, Theodore Francis Green, one of the most courageous members of the U. s. Senate.
 It may have been pure accident, or it may have been-as the poli- ticians say-because the Italian pop ulatiou is heavy in Rhode Island, but McGrath also formed politi- cal partnership with John Pastore, Italian American governor of the state, who took McGrath's seat in the Senate when he became At torney General.
 With this array of nationalities behind him, nobody could lose in Rhode Island, and Howard has gone a long way. In the Senate he had an excellent record, while as Attorney General he has never flinched at a case involving civil rights or human tolerance.
 The chief trouble is that Howard doesn't have many opportunities to finch; for the men below bring few complex or fortnight cases to him for decision.
 They know, first, that Howard is not around much of the time to review cases; second, that the key tune of the Justice Department is pitched at a low, easygoing, make few-enemies level.
 They know, for instance. that their boss, the Attorney General, was a leading figure in one of the big tax-avoidance foundations, Tex tron, set up as a charity trust, though it operated huge textile mills. There was nothing illegal about this, but when the man you are working for once drew a $15,- GOO salary merely for being fig ure-head on a large tax-avoidance scheme, it doesn't encourage his subordinates to push tax prosecu- ton.
 Those who work in the Justice Department also know that Me Grath long has been part-owner of the Lincoln Downs race track. And while he has absolutely no part in the gambling surrounding this activity, it's only natural that some of the A. G.'s subordinates should not feel too enthusiastic about cracking down on gambling.
 Undoubtedly there is no connec- ton, but they also know that the

too fast. Some one may advise
you to give one or more books on
the subject of photography to-
gether with the first camera, but
I believe that the little booklet OF
instructions that comes with the
camera is the best guide. Toe
many of the books on photography
are pitched on too high a plane
for person who has never used a
camera before. Most writer's as
sumo that the reader knows all
the basic facts and that kind o1
book is apt to confuse those who
are learning to take their first
pictures.
Equipment Sure to Please.
There are a number of avenues
open when planning gift for
the more experienced amateur
camera fan. Here Is a person
who had passed his preliminary
exams and is ready to go ahead
with more advanced work. He
may need a better camera, a
faster lens for the one he has, OF
perhaps a flash gun or other
sgadget. Supplies of film. paper
and chemicals are always well
coined by any photographer
Darkroom equipment such as
trays. thermometers, developing
tanks, measuring scales, safe
lights and other items that may
stretch your purse a little, such
as an enlarger or contact printer
are always received with oper
arms.
Your lensman may specialize in
some branch of photography and

ing when you go about selecting q

gift. A photographer who is
specializing in bromoil or paper
negative prints may seem grateful
if you hand him a book on pho
Biography in general, but if you
really want to see him do nip
ups. see that the book is on the
subject of control processes. The
man who takes to sports photog-
lraphy can be won over by a tele-
photo lens and the fellow who
sticks closely to architectural
shots will undoubtedly be delight
ed with a small view camera that
has front and back movements.
You may have to do some scout
ing around to discover just what
lis wanted, but a planned gift is
always better when buying for a
specialist.
Shopping for an amateur movie
maker is somewhat more Of q
problem, in more ways than one
Equipment items are, on the whole
more costly than those used by the
still photographer. Few, If any
movie cameras may be termed in
expensive. However. there are &C.
ceSsories such as supplementary
lenses. tripods, lights and reflec.
tors, titling and editing machines
ETC., that make very suitable gifts
within the reach of most Of us
And a movie fan never has toe
many rolls of film.
Projection equipment is well
coined by both still and movie
photographers. The man with the
still camera may need a protector
to screen his color slides and. while
it is unusual to find a movie far
without a protector. it is quite
possible that you may know some
one who is working with an ole
protector that should have been
replaced years ago. Any one who
is still using a sheet or the wal
for picture projection should be
given a screen-preferably of the
beaded variety.
AS a final suggestion I should
point out that all camera fans like
to keep abreast of the latest in
formation about photography. A
subscription to one of the many
excellent photo magazines should
be high on your gift list. They
contain much information on how
to take pictures and movies.

Camera Angles
Multitude of Gifts Possible for Lensmen
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Christmas is almost with us
again and so also is the inevitable
problem of the gift list. It's good
thing that so many people are
interested in photography as a
hobby, for this circumstance
makes it possible for us to hit on
a gift that can be used the year
round.
A camera-movie or stills the
ideal token for the photography
enthusiast. Even though your IA
vorite photographer has a camera,
the chances are he is secretly or
openly hoping for better one, for
camera fans are always grad
uating" from one camera to an
other. And If he is perfectly
satisfied with his present camera
there are many accessories and
supplies that you can please him
with.
1t used to be that Photographic
equipment was more or less re-
served for the adult members of
the family, but the art of taking
pictures is so simplified that the
kids are often outdoing the older
folks when it comes to taking good
snapshots. Picture taking is a.
good clean hobby for young or
old
If you have a child on your
shopping list for Christmas gift,
start him off with a simple cam
era. It's not a question that a
child can't be taught to use the
more complex cameras, but rather
that it's important that he learn
photography from the ground up.
working at first with the basic
tools and then going ahead with
more advanced equipment. This is
only the same logical approach to
teaching that is used in our
schools.
Start Off With Simple Camera.
I would recommend a box
camera with no more than a sim
pie shutter, lens and finder for
the youngster. If you start him
off with an instrument that is
laden with a large number of
gadgets the probable result will be
that the child will soon become
discouraged because of the diff
Guilty of co-ordinating all these
strange devices. He will have great
difficulty in getting any picture atI
all if presented with one of the
advanced type cameras that
abound on the market.
Photography is essentially al
very simple process with practi-
cally all the guesswork taken out.
Just about any one who can fol-
low simple instructions can take
satisfactory picture with a box
camera, or one of the fixed-focus,
folding type. The picture is the
thing for the beginner. Once he
has learned that it is easy to get
q picture. he is ready for pointers,
on lighting, composition, exposure,
etc. But all this basic knowledge
can be picked up with the least
expensive camera on the market.
1t is not at all the case of the
better camera the better picture
More expensive cameras are po-
tentially capable of producing
better results, but only when in
the hands of a person who is well
grounded in the principles of
photography.

Photoqruphic Notes

When taking pictures on a cold
day, use a shorter exposure to
compensate for the effect of the
cold on the shutter. Shutters
have tendency to slow down on
cold days. Slow shutters due to
cold can be remedied to a degree
by working the shutter a few
times before making the ex-
posures.
| Some camera owners make the
mistake of using 6 and FP-26
flashlamps with large focal plane
shutters. While these bulbs work
well on 35-mm. and in some in
stance 2Ax3A focal plane shut
tiers, they are completely ineffi-
cient for larger camera sizes.
