Hearing, Asks u. n.
To Clean House.
Ry the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada,
calling a temporary halt to Inter-
nal Security subcommittee hear
ings, says the United Nations
should "clean it's own house of
communism and subversive activi-
ties"
Several American citizens en-
ployed at the U. N. have been
questioned by the subcommittee
about possible Communist ties
during four weeks of intermittent
hearings.
Senator McCarran. chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee Of which the internal Security
subcommittee is a part. spoke to
newsmen yesterday after an 30
minute subcommittee executive
session.
1.-THE U. N. was not set up as a
propaganda agency for any
ideology," Senator McCarran said,
adding:
"The q. N. brings its people
from abroad with diplomatic i'm
munity, hence there is no way to
screen them. If. as and when
they come here and engage in
subversive activities against the
United States, it is time that was
stopped"
Senator McCarran said there
probably would be no more hear
ings until after Christmas. The
Senator is sailing today for q
trip to South America.
! After the new Congress con-
venes next year, he said. some OF
the subcommittee's members. in
Guiding himself, probably will be
replaced"

nor committee members would dis.
cuss the nature of the session.

Trial Of Julius Fink
Starts on Refusal 10
Reply in Crime Probe
BY the Assoeioted Press


Julius ("Blinky') Fink of Bal
timore. who refused to answer
questions of Senate crime investi-
gators about gambling. went on
trial today on a contempt of Con-
gress charge.
Fink's trial in United States
District Court for the District of
Columbia will be followed by
those of Isidore and Abraham
Minker. brothers of Reading, Pa.
Assistant United States District
Attorney William Hitz said Alex
Fudeman, a nephew of the Mink
ers, will not be brought to trial at
this time. Mr.. Hitz said Fude-
man is in Jail in Norristown, Pa,
following a conviction in an in
come tax case.
Like Fink, the Minkers and
Fudeman were indicted on con-
tempt of Congress charges as a
result of their refusal to answer
questions of Senate crime investi-
gators last year.
Separate Trials Demanded.
Mr.. Hitz did not announce in
which order the Minkers win be
tried, but defense attorney Jacob
Kossman of Philadelphia de-
|manded separate trials for them.
Fink, linked with gambling ac-
tivities in Baltimore and else
where in Maryland, refused to
tell the Senate crime investigators
what business he was in, or to
answer three other similar ques-
tions on the grounds he might in
criminate himself.
In all three of the cases the
defense is that the defendants
were within their legal rights in
refusing to answer the questions
on the grounds that to do so
might incriminate them.
The Minkers are reputed Read
ing gamblers.
A jury of six men and six wom-
en- for the Fink trial was picked
quickly and without challenge.
Mr.. Hitz then outlined for the
jury the hearing before the Sem
ate Crime Investigating Commit
tee at which Fink appeared on
July 2. 1851, in Washington.
Indicted on Four Questions.
He told the jury that one of
the chief questions it would nave
to determine was whether Fink
gave responsive answers" to the
following four questions on which
he was indicted:
!. with respect to the uues-
ton. what business are you in, you
refused to answer on the ground
that it would incriminate you of
a Federal or State offense?"
2. Where did you go to grade
school?"
3. This committee is investi-
eating organized crime in inter-
state commerce. Do you have anv
information involving other people
which would be of interest to this
committee?"
4. what is your answer to my
question? I asked you If you
have any information regarding
crime that would not incriminate
|you?" -se
Fink at the time Of the hear
ing declined to answer the ques-
tions on the grounds that he might
incriminate himself.
The jury was temporarily dis
missed almost as soon as it was
picked. Judge James R. Kirkland
told the jurors the case had
reached a point where their serv-
ices would not be needed, but that
they might be recalled.

Officials May Confer
With Eisenhower Aide
On Iranian Impasse
By John N. Hiehtower
Associated Press Stoff Writer

State Department officials may
confer with President-elect Eisen-
hover or his representatives next
week on a new formula for solving
the Iranian problem.
It is understood also that the
new approach is a subject for
discussion between Secretary OF
State Acheson and British For
eign Secretary Eden in their talks
in New York.
The central idea of the formula
/ is to get Iranian oil flowing out
and money for it flowing in again
at the earliest possible moment
without final settlement Of the
dispute between Iran and Britain
over naturalization of Trans oil
industry.
State Department authorities
feel that the longer the present
impasse continues, and various
Iranian agencies like the Army
and Civil Service go unpaid. the
greater becomes the danger Of 9
collapse of civil authority and the
rise of Communist power in this
strategic Middle Eastern land.
Sought Legal Accord.

have worked on the theory thai

craft cost. - =
Mr.. Iovett wrote Chairman
Lyndon johnson that there had
been q misunderstanding" on the
part OF the Senators concerning
a Joint Chief of STAFF statement
that 1854 was a livery dangerous
period" for the United States.
"They do not state that the
years Of 1858 and 1854 will con-
stitute the period Of our greatest
peril" he wrote in reference to
the conclusions In the committees
43d report.
"They mentioned the general
period Of 1854 as q date by which
Russian capabilities will become
very dangerous. They do not
estimate that Russian intention is
to make war in 1854 or imply that
after that year danger will be less.
Obviously, if we knew Russian in
tentions, we could gear our mobil-
ization accordingly"
Air Force Buildup Hit.
The subcommittee had sharply
criticized the Pentagon planners
for cutting back on the build
up of the Air Force to lab wings.
Mr.. Lovett replied that the
group gave undue emphasis" to
the Air Force section and pointed
out that the stretch-out decision
has affected not only the air arm
but the entire program recon-
mended by the joint chiefs.
In replying to the committee the
secretary quoted comments by the
Joint Chiefs and secretaries OF the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
He quoted Air Force Secretary
Finletter as saying that the great
er cost of the overall program
will result in the Air Force being
equipped with better quality
planes"
He emphatically denied that
the stretch-out would affect deliv-
cry of planes to Western Europe.
The Senators had charged that
the stretch-out had aggravated a
distress of the aircraft industry.
Kimball's View Cited.
But Mr.. Lovett quoted a letter
from Navy Secretary Kimball
which stated that it "has undoubt-
ledly had the effect of leveling out
the peaks and valleys in produc-
tions rates, thereby tending to sta
bilize the labor market and avoid
extreme fluctuations in the re-
Iquirements of the military scarce
and critical materials. ~
He agreed that the aircraft in
dustry could increase it's produc-
ltion. ~ !
The Senators had asked for an
end to endless research and de-
velopment, of aircraft and that a
decision on certain models be
made so that full production could
begin.
Mr.. Lovett quoted a Joint Chiefs
comment that such a move would
mean this country would enter a
future war with obsoleScent
equipment and that the present
method would insure qualitatively
superior weapons in the future.
The Senators report had stated
that some United States planes
were loaded with gadgets to a
point where their effectiveness has
been decreased. This brought
sharp denial from the Pentagon.

Being at the Right Place.
| When covering a game such as
baseball there is no such thing
as set position where you can
conceivably snap every interesting
play without moving. But If you
know the game you should have
little trouble in being at the right
place at the right time. In a
well-played game not many play
ers will get past second base, so
the logical position for the cam
eraman would be somewhere be-
tween the home plate and first
base until circumstances direct
otherwise. From there you can
be in a position to shoot a close
play at first or q hard-swinging
batter at the plate.
If you elect to make your shots
Of home plate action from behind
the screen you can stop down the
lens for depth and take in pitcher,
batter, catcher and umpire in one
shot. Action at second base can
be taken from either the first or
third base lines. Watch for the
hit and run or attempt at q steal
for good shot at second.
For real closeups Of flying spikes
and clouds of dust to liven up
your pictures third base Is the like

have to be very careful where
you take up your position, for
none Of the players will be con-
cerned with you. or YOUR camera,
when the chips are down.
Use Fast Film.
A fast film is called for when
shooting baseball pictures for, as
a rule, the games take place in
the afternoon. This means to you
that the faster your film the
greater your latitude for high
shutter speeds as the sun begins
to sink. Incidentally, don't be-
come so interested in the game
that you fail to notice the chang
ing lighting conditions as the day
grows shorter. Depending upon
circumstances, you may flnd your
self shooting at one or two stops
difference as time goes by. To
play it safe use your meter at
least once an hour to check on
your exposures-more often as the
light begins to fail.
In addition to covering the
standard plays be on the lookout
for other interesting situations
such as an occasional hassle be-
tween the umpire and players.
Keep an eye on the spectators
and you will be able to pick up a.
few human interest shots Of ex-
cited fans cheering or booing as
the case may be.
And while you are there you
might as well pick up Q. few dol
lars to pay for your film and
prints. Make one or two posed
shots Of each team before the
game while their uniforms are
still neat and clean. After the
game one group will have that
defeated look which won't sell any
pictures. II. your action shots are
good and show faces Of the play
ers the chances are pretty good
that you will be able to sell copies

Baseball is the Nations No. l
sport and photography the No. l
hobby. Mix them together and
you'll come up with some corking
good pictures full of action, sus-
pense and drama.
Now. we aren't suggesting that
you will be welcome on the field
at a big-league game, but there
are many contests of the sandlot
variety that will give you all the
action you can handle in one day.
There are few other sports that
will give you such flrst-hand close
up opportunities for eye-f1lling
action pictures.
The best cameras for baseball
shots are the press type and the
reflex, in that order. These are
fast, efficient cameras that will
give the best results when action
is fast and furious. All shots
should be made at 1/100th of a
second or faster. Many will have
to be made at 1/400th or less if
all movement is to be frozen. This
does not necessarily rule out your
Brownie or folding camera, for
there will still be many fine pic
ture-taking opportunities at the
ball game, no matter what camera
you use. Some photographers even
favor the blur of unstopped mo-
ton as means for building up
the illusion. of high speed action
in their pictures.
The Right Lens.
If at all possible use a lens of
long focal length on the camera.
It will serve dual purpose. First
1t will help you get close-ups of
distant action shots such as might
reasonably be expected at second
base on slide and secondly it
will keep you at safer distance
from a charging catcher who is
intent only on Snaring a pop fly
behind the plate where you may
well be stationed.
Speaking of danger-there is
plenty to look out for on the play
ing field. You'll be safe enough
II you keep at reasonable dis
tance from the players, but, if you
insist on getting a closeup of a
runner sliding into home plate,
you can easily wind up in a hos
pital with broken bones or spike
cuts. So play it safe and either
use your long lens or wait until
you get home and make blow up

just about the safest spot around
the plate is behind the wire screen.
You can shoot through one of the
holes in the wire. which will give
you protection from foul tips that
sometimes scream off the bats of
the players.
Regardless of what camera you
are using. you must be fully ia
miliar with it if you expect to have
any success in grabbing fast shots.
You never know what will hap
pen next in a ball game, and 80
times out Of 100 you won't have
q chance to look down long
enough to switch focus. BY that
time the action would all be over,
with no possible chance for a pic
