BILE for many spoiled pictures

today.
Many photographers, begin

tirely logged.
Keep Film Roll Tout
While daylight loading films
are intended for loading into
your camera in daylight, the
film maker expects you to use
reasonable care. Never allow
the roll to loosen on its spool
while inserting it. If this hap
pens light will leak in under
the protective paper covering
to fog the edges if not several
full frames. AS you unwind
the "leader" of the film roll,
rest a finger lightly but firmly
on the roll to prevent any sud-
den or unexpected loosening.;

Civil Defense System

A civil defense protective sys-
TEN will be installed in the
Woodward & Lothrop downtown
store. John E. Fondahl, District
civil defense director, announced
yesterday.
He said the store had requested
setting up the system following
a conference with representa-
tives of the city's six leading
department stores.
Mr.. Fondahl said that because
of the presence Of so much fam
mable material needed for dis
play, stores present a more than
usual hazard in the event OF
| atom bomb explosion. The fact
that dow town department
stores are occupied by more than
$4,000 persons at a time make
defense measures necessary he
| added.
He said about 80 apartment
houses and Office buildings have
been surveyed and organized by
| the Unit Protection Service OF
Civil Defense, and urged man
agement Of all such structures To
request the same service. 1t is

Byrd and Robertson
Fiuht Hawaii Statehood
BY the A.soeleted Press

Both Senators Byrd and Rob-
ertson, Virginia Democrats, say
they consider the racially-mixed
population of Hawaii a big OBJ
lection to Hawaiian statehood.
The two Virginians are OPP
posed to giving statehood to
either Hawaii or Alaska. But
they spoke out particularly
against Hawaiian statehood.
The Senate InSular Affairs
Committee last week tied the
Alaska statehood proposal to a
bill for Hawaiian statehood.
Senator Byrd said he does not
believe any additional State
should be taken into the United
States at this time.
THE population in Hawaii is
chiefly of Chinese and Japanese
origin" Senator Byrd added. 1T
could well be that if Hawaii
were granted statehood it would
send to the United States Sen
ate q Chinese or a Japanese
Senator-or BOTH"
Members Of Congress Of Chi
nese or Japanese origin, Senator
Byrd said. would not have the
traditions nor the way Of think
ing" that are typically American.
