At intervals during the "Stork
Club" show, an off screen an
nouncer took over to speak in
awe-struck tones Of the glamour
and intrigue (sic) with which
the place was infested. This
may fool some viewers, but it is
not likely to fool many.
The blunt truth is that a TV
show like 'Stork Club" is based
on a wild fallacy-the halluci-
nation that people sitting around
a plush saloon are unbearably
attractive to less fortunate peo-
pie sitting at home. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
You can take it from an old
night club habitue, there are few

1000 Map Makers
Gather for Session

Nearly 1000 map makers,
dedicated to giving the world a
birds-eye view of the Nation,
opened their goth annual meet
ing here yesterday in the Shore
ham Hotel.
Attending the three-day ses-
sion of the American Society of
Photogrammetry are aerial cam
era experts from the United
States, Canada, Europe and
Central and South America.
Ralph A. Tudor, ,Updersecre-
tary of the Interior Department,
outlined the use of aerial pho
tographs In estimating and sur
veying the natural resources OF
the Nation. He said the de-
partment is using the science for
protecting forest lands from
damage by disease, fires and
insects.
Preceding the talk, delegates
surveyed a maze of optical gad-
gets and exhibits filling the west
lobby of the hotel.
+ The most ingenious device ex-
hibited was a magnetometer, an
electronic gadget contained in a
case similar to an aerial bomb.
With it dangling from a plane,
scientists can check the mineral
deposits in thousands of square
miles in a matter of hours.
Members of the society were
welcomed by A. O. Quinn, presi-
dent of the society.
