necessary to bring out details
in the shadows.
Sunsets Popular
Sunsets are always popular
color subjects. These are made,
of course, with the camera
pointed directly toward the
sun. To prevent flare spots
which might spoil a shot made
toward bright sun wait until
a cloud hides or partially OBJ
scures the sun.
Most color shots at sunset
will be made at speeds rang
ing around 1/50th second to
1/10th. The faster speed will
probably be needed while the
sun is still above the horizon.
The slower will apply for aft
erglow shots. The advantage
of having your camera on a
tripod to prevent camera
movement should be readily
apparent.
Color film can be used eff
fectively at night, especially
if you own a rather fast lens.
Electric signs where colored
lamps or neon tubes are used
make interesting color shots.
So do city streets when bright
ly lighted by shop windows
and street lamps. Try some
night shots of the city in color
just after a rain for something
really spectacular. Use Type
A color film for night photog-
raphy of this kind. If your
lens will open to f/4.5 or there
aboutS you can make these
shots at anywhere from 1/25th
second to two or three seconds
depending upon the amount
of available light. OF course.
use your tripod. Without it
the long exposures will un-
doubtedly reveal camera move
ment.

PANMUNJOM, Dec. 8.-The
allies today laid on the line

peace conference but the Com
munists rejected it outright in a
scornful propaganda blast which

termed garbage"
The Red action made "aca-

accept part Of the United States
proposal.
South Korea's delegate refused
to attend the meeting as United
States Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean delivered the new plan.
Mr.. Deans offer nailed down
loose ends of previous allied pro-
posals and suggestions.
"I told them (the Reds) this
was it and we would stand on
it," he told newsmen this is
our final offer"
The Communists. reading from
a 16-page prepared statement,
termed Mr.. Deans offering "ab-
surd and ridiculous"
Mr.. Dean said:
1T is very obvious that they
have stopped negotiating"
Meanwhile, 80 more South
Korean prisoners of war refused
to return home after talking
with officers of their homeland.
They made the interview score

Truce Bid by Reds
lin Indo-China Seen
AS Sign Of Weakness

A Senate Foreign Relations
Committee member who recently
travelled through Indo- China on
survey trip said today that
Communist offers Of a truce in
the war-torn French possession
indicate that the Reds are weak
and have lost the initiative there.
Senator Mansfield, Democrat.
Of Montana. said the truce offer
made by Red leader Ho Chi Mimi
via Peking and Moscow is a sign
of weakness on the part of the
Communists and indicates def
nitely that the Wet Mini (the
Communist force) has lost the
initiative in Indo-China."
The Senator said he felt this
due primarily to the military
efforts of the French command
ers in the area, Generals Ma
varre and Cogny, to the "politi-
cal wisdom and understanding"
of French High Commissioner
De Jean, and to the recognition
by the native peoples of the
Associated States of Indo-C China
that a French offer of eventual
independence made last July 3
"is both genuine and sincere"
Senator Mansfield said he re-
CARDS Indo-China as the key to
the whole of Asia.
Il think we should recognize
the fact that if it falls it will
be impossible to stabilize the rest
of Asia" he said. IF the French
military effort is successful with
our assistance and aid in the
form of military supplies-and
the signs are far more encourag-
ing than they were six months
ago-we will have contributed
greatly to the holding of that
area. In that case, in my opin-
ion. the rest of Asia can be
saved"

WORTH WAITING FOR

President Eisenhower has displayed, at times, an almost pathetic eagerness for approval, and revealed in most of his speeches, dismaying sympathy with both sides of question: and such skill in leaving open an avenue of retreat from a controversial position, that his hearers fail to realize this until they read his words in print later.
 But the Presidents radio speech the budget and taxes and his subsequent message to the Congress on the thorny subjects, are convincing evidence that when the chips down, MT. Eisenhower would rather be right than be popular
 Here are messages that are clear, reasoned calm and firm. The President explains patiently, and with out rancor the fiscal snar bequeathed him by his pre- decessor the bear trap if you like, into which the new administration fell in it's early eagerness at budget balancing.
 The President made it clear that he does not like the present tax setup, but he likes increasing deficits and continuing dollar devaluation less In the halls of Congress there is grumblng Senator Taft is greatly disappointed" that the 72 billion Eisenhower budget is not ten billion smaller, and Chairman Daniel A. Reed, of the House Ways and Means Committee the champion of lower taxes - now insists he'll go on fighting.
 How far the opponents get will depend, as usual on the home-folks. If the people admire the Pres- dents courage sufficiently to back him up with some forttude of their OWn we'll have that balanced budget before long and tax reduction in terms of dollars that will still have purchasing power.

Resentment of US. In Near East, Asia Reported by Dulles

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary of State Dulles returned from his survey trip to the Near East and South Asia declaring that this strategic area, like China, could fall victim to Communist domina- ton.
 He said he found the United States suspect" because of it's alliance with France and Britain, countries suspected by some non- Europeans of trying to restore their colonial interests. The Arabs he said, harbor a "deep resent ment' against this country and are more fearful of Zionism (the movement in support of a Jewish state) than of Communism.
 Saying that the US. had given most of it's postwar attention" to the "very important, but not all-important" Western European area, Dulles observed, Tt is high time that the US. government paid more attention to the Near East and south Asia"
 Tt came as a surprising shock when the 450 million Chinese peo- pie, wh 0m we had counted as friends, fell under Communist domination" he continued. There could be equally dangerous devel- opments in the Near East and south Asia. The situation calls for urgent concern"

STOP and LOOK, as we'll as LISTEN

The House Ways and Means Committee is trying to find out whether not the American economy needs tariff legislation to keep out of taspn-and if so how much and what. And the they listen to the problems of their businessman witnesses, the confused they become in norass of trade prob lemS.
 Probably there's no other way to get to the bot tom of their problem. But we hope they won't depend too much highly-praised ability to mass-pro- duce after all these years we've spent teaching the rest of the world how to do it. Nor quite broad minded enough to welcome European living standards, in the interests of fraternity and equality That's carrying this non-discrimination idea too far.

Three locations in Alaska were earmarked for maintenance funds in the Truman and Eisenhower budgets, $27,5OO for the harbor of refuge at Seward, $30,300 for Nome harbor and $145,700 for Wrangell Narrows.
