Congress Members Tell
Of Censored Soviet Tour

BERLIN. Sept. 2 R.-Twc
United States Congress mem
bers Just out of Moscow said
today they will recommend q
|stepped-up exchange Of visitors
between the Soviet Union and
the United States.
Representatives Holt, Republic
can. Of California and Rhodes
Republican. of Arizona told a
news conference they would
make this recommendation de-
spite the fact the Russians
censored" their two-week tour.
"We only saw what they
wanted US to see." Mr.. Holt de-
clared.
Mr.. Rhodes said they weren't
permitted to see the insides OF
any factories or housing devel-
opments. although they had
asked for permission on numer-
Gus occasions. "They showed us
plenty Of museums, though" he
added.
Both agreed they had the i'm
preston that secret police fol-
lowed them throughout the trip,
which took them not only to
Moscow. but also Leningrad, Kiev
and Tula.
They concluded that the new
Soviet policy Of Sweetness and
light hasn't yet seeped down to
the lower echelons."
Questioned about the general
economic outlook in the Soviet
Union. Mr.. Rhodes replied:
"As far as We could tell, there
doesn't appear to be any danger
Iof collapse (of the system)
There seems to be plenty OF
food and lots Of television sets
We saw TV aerials all over the
place"
They reported that American
jazz is now very much in de-
|mand.
Mr.. Rhodes said that nowhere
did they see any evidence that
the Russians are reducing their
armed forces.
They reported observing SO
many men in uniform that Mr.
Holt got the impression the
country looks like America at
the height Of the war"
AS an example. Mr.. Rhodes
cited a small airfield which con-
aimed four ancient biplanes.

Good Backgrounds Are Natural or Neutra

OF course, your subject is the
most important part of picture
but you can easily ruin the best
Of subjects by failing to look
behind" them in your viewfinder.
The eye can easily skip over a
couple of garbage cans and pat
termed fence to concentrate on a
cute child, but the camera isn't so
selective. 1t will record anything
within its field of vision. So. a
good background is important.
To give you quick idea of what
we mean by good backgrounds,
let's just roughly divide them into
two broad classifications: neutral
and natural. A neutral back
ground Is one that makes the sub
ject stand out merely because it
itself Is completely inconspicuous,
adding nothing to the story the
picture tells. Plain walls, the sky,
a grassy lawn, the sweep of wide
open spaces-these are the most
common neutral backgrounds.

we call a natural background
one that serves as stage setting
for the action being performed by
the person in your picture. A
proud fisherman would probably
look best against the wooded bank
of his favorite stream, the profess
sor at his desk in his book-lined
study. The garden would be a
natural setting for the attractive
young girl carrying a basket of
flowers, the home workshop for
the "do-it-yourself" weekend car
penter.
Whichever type Of background
you choose, however, remember
that color contrast is important for
the best results. Be sure to pose
light subjects against rather dark
backgrounds, and vice versa. You
can readily see that dark green
hedge would be poor background
choice for a dark-haired girl in
black dress-but she would GER
tainly be a stand-out against
white garden-gate or a cream
colored convertible!
