Baby ToHer
Young Father

PARIS Up - British hotel seior
Jimmy Goldsmith says he viii
leave his kidnap charge on the
police books even though his multi.
millionaire in-laws, the Bolivian
Patinos, have returned his frail
4-months-old daughter Isabella. !.
Obeying a court order, the. Pa.
tinos sent the baby to Goldsmith.s
apartment yesterday, four days
after he charged unknown per.
sons" had abducted her soon after
he returned from 4 business trip
to West Africa. He had left the
infant with her grandmother, Mrs.
Antenor Patino.
Despite the young fathers still
pending charge, it appeared likely
the French police would happily
let the matter fade out now that
he has his child back. :.
Dorothy Cockbill, the British
nurse who was with the little girl
all the time she was In the custo-
dy of the Patino family, was, TO
tell her story to police today. Gold
smith has charged the Patinos
threatened her with instant firing
If she tried to contact him. She
was not allowed writing paper and
not allowed to telephone him, he
said.
Goldsmith charged the Patinos
moved the child to three different
hiding places although she suffers
from anoxemia, 4 serious shortage
of oxygen In the blood.
In seeking custody Of the child,
Mrs. Patino said she needed q
woman's care. The Judge, award
ing the baby to her father, noted
that Goldsmith's mother had chap
PLY agreed" to live with the baby
and care for her.
Little Isabella has been in deli
cate health since her premature
birth last May just after her mo-
ther, 1s-year-old Isabella Patino,
had undergone a brain operation.
The mother died shortly after the
baby was born.

Atomic Info
For Germany
Poses Problem
By ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON R-The proposal
to make West Germany a full
fledged member of the European
defense system raises the problem
of how much atomic weapons in
formation the United States would
then give her.
France is reported to want def
mite controls set for recreation Of
a German armed force if West
Germany should be taken in as a
member of the 14-nation North At
lantic Treaty Organization.
The United States has adopted a
policy - and amended a law to
support the policy - providing for
the exchange of information with
allies on the effect of nuclear
weapons. The intention is to inform
allies only on the blast, heat and
radiation effects OF various atomic
weapons, without disclosing details
of design. But the mere detailing
of effect can carry significant hints
about the nature of the weap-
ons themselves.
The proposal for this exchange
Of information originated with the
American military about three
years ago, at a time when NATO
forces were just beginning to be
formed and well before there was
any concrete plan for arming West
Germany. 1t received the support
of the Atomic Energy Commission
and in the last session of Congress
the stringent terms of the 1946
Atomic Energy Act were modified
to permit an exchange of informa-
ton OF nuclear weapons effect.
The military, including Gen.
Omar Bradley, former chairman
Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, con-
tended that allies of the United
States in Europe could not make
tactical or strategic plans for de-
tense without having some indica-
ton of what to expect from atomic
attack by an enemy or atomic
weapon support of ground forces
by the United States.
This became especially impor-
tant with the subsequent appear
ance in the American arsenal of
tactical-size atomic bombs, atomic
artillery and guided missiles with
atomic warheads for use. on the
battlefield.
A Soviet announcement last week
of another atomic weapon test ex-
plosion points to the speed with
which Russia is racing against the
United States lead in the atomic
weapons field-a lead which Acc
chairman Lewis L. Strauss said
yesterday is being maintained.
This rivalry between the worlds
two. great atomic nations empha.
sizes the question Of giving basic
atomic weapon schooling to the nu.
clear weapon "have-not" nations
including France and Germany,
both geographically close to
Russia.
An article in the latest issue oi

view, publication of the Air Uni.
versity at Maxwell Air Force Base
Ala, says the European allies are
becoming alarmed over the pros
pect of being a battle-ground fol

Camera Angles

You can make this q safe
and sane Fourth by doing all
your shooting with q camera.
Let the other folks take the
chances with the fireworks
while you enjoy them at q safe
distance by shooting pictures
of the displays.
This. Of course, involves
taking photos after dark, an
operation q bit out Of the
usual for the majority Of ca
mera fans. Nonetheless you win
find it an easy way to make
some unusual and spectacular
pictures without learning any
new camera techniques.
One point that makes it an
easy camera task: You simply
set your focus one time, at in
finity. and forget 1t from
there on. BY day you would
quite naturally expect to re-
focus after each shot but all
snapshots Of fireworks dis
plays will be made at a dis
lance that the infinity setting
win hold all the way through.
Where to Place Comero
The best place to set up for
your fireworks shots will be in
the down area tomorrow night
when the annual show at the
Monument grounds is put on.
But even If you plan to make
snaps Of q backyard demon
stration of sparklers, PIN
wheels, or whatever may be
lawful, you will be back far
enough so a setting at infinity
will do the trick.
No special camera will be
needed. Any. including the old
standby box camera with its
fixed focus, viii be suitable. Do
have q tripod, camera clamp,
or other support available for

bulb exposures throughout.
Here's how to do it II you
are planning to record the big

your camera on its tripod or
other support and aim it to-
ward the sky area where the
bursts are taking place. Then
set the focus for infinity and
the shutter setting should be
at "time" or "bulb." In either
case you will be able to keep
the shutter open for what
ever length of time you may
desire. When black-and-white
Aim is used the diaphragm
should be stopped to f/8 or
I'LL. With color film in the
camera make your stop to
f/4.5 or f/5.6 for it is a slower
medium than the mono
chrome.
Open Shutter and Woit
When you are all ready for
the exposure, open the shut
ter and sit back and wait for
the bursts that follow. Two or
three at the most on any one
film is enough. II you allow
too many to record on one
film the patterns win overlap
and spoil the effect. Then
close the shutter, advance the
film Cor change the holder).
reopen the shutter and you
win be set for the next shot.
While either will prove
quite satisfactory we suggest
you use both color and mono
chrome films in your camera.
The black-and-white films can
be used to make beautiful pat
tern effect prints, while the
