Routine news will be given out
by the departments in Washing
ton as usual.
Many of the correspondents
were confused as to what was
expected of them. One asked Mr..
Snyder, What am l doing
here?" The press secretary said
it was a test of communications
and other facilities for getting
information to the people in the
event of an actual attack.
Imagination Required
AS such, the correspondents
needed a lively imagination, un-
usual mental agility and even a
time machine to get into the
spirit of the occasion. A lack
of humor also would be helpful
as everything here at the head
quarters, even at H-hour minus
1s hours, was deadly serious.
It was a difficult operation
since you didn't wait for the
alert that sounded in Washing
ton and elsewhere. You whisked
yourself out of the Capital and
after due lapse of time you
found yourself walking toward
the emergency press headquar-
ters. You see a huge building
with a new sign saying press"
You find yourself on the third
floor in room 40 by $50, a

scrounged from various Govern
ment agencies, and in one cor
ner are dozens of typewriters.
On the bulletin board is a no
tice cautioning you to refer to

headquarters" and not disclose
the State in which it is located.

is just "a game"-but it's game
that could be important in the

Collect With Your camera

It's fairly safe to say that practi-
cally everybody has some kind of
pet hobby-whether it's collecting
rare stamps and coins or just old
fishing hats and string! And we've
always felt that one of the incest
things about photography is the
way it can aid and complement
the pursuit of almost any other
hobby.
In fact, it is only by means Of
picture-taking that many hobbies
can become collecting" hobbies
at all If you're interested in
bridges, old buildings, art treas
ures, railroad engines, aircraft,
sailing vessels or old automobile
models, your camera is the only
method by which you'll be able to
bring home items for your collec-
ton.
Many collectors items" are
