FAILING" BUILDINGS

In order to avoid the dis
tortion of buildings leaning
backwards" try getting away
from them before you shoot.
The closer you are to a struc-
ture. and the more you point
your camera upwards, the
more the building will seem to
be falling over in the sky.
Make a long to medium shot
of the structure. and keep at
least one predominant straight
line vertical in the viewfinder.
If there's still distortion in
the final print. a little fitting
on the enlarging easel will
straighten out many of the
other distorted lines.

his rights to take pictures in a
public place.
In a similar case in New
Hampshire the cameraman
was held in custody by air
police after he tried to photo
graph the site of a CAT crash
at an Air Force base. Although
no security measures were in
volved, the photog was jailed
until a public relations officer
ordered his release. He had to
hike a mile and a half back to
his car after he was set free.
So, fans, it isn't all fun being
a press photographer.

Coins of the Bible

The first coins mentioned
in the Bible are the three score
and one thousand drains the
Jews carried back to Jerusalem
in 536 B. C. from their cap
tivity in Babylon. These were
Persian Darics, struck by
Cyrus at the captured Lydian
mint. with probably some
Lydian staters of Croesus, the
Millionaire of antiquity.
In the years 6 B. C. and
2 B. C. Augustus Caesar cele-
brated the designation of his
two grandsons, Caius and
Lucius, to serve as Roman
consuls when they should
reach 20 years of age, and
struck a denarius in honor
of the event. They were
minted in the year 4 B. C.
Thus their appearance COIN
cided with the birth of
Jesus of Nazareth and the
death of Herod the Great.
They show the head of Au-
gustus and the full figures of
the two boys.
In Jerusalem, some 30 years
later, Jesus watched as a poor
widow cast two mites into the
collection box in the Temple
Treasury, and spoke the
famous words of praise for her
sacrifice. These coins, now
known as ''leptons," were
struck by a number of Judaic
rulers, both Jewish and Ro-
man. including Herod and
Pontius PLATE. They are of
bronze and less than half the
size of dimes.
Again in Jerusalem, Jesus
held a Roman coin in his hand
to illustrate his definition of
the province of Caesar and
the province of God. The
tribute penny" is thought to
have been a denarius of Ii
berius Caesar, a silver piece
the size of a dime bearing a
portrait of Tiberius on the

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

An increasing number OF
amateurs are using permanent
(electronic) flash units, but
many lack an understanding
of the care and treatment OF
this comparatively new me-
dunn of illumination.
The electronic flash will
provide the best service for
those who give it their best
care. So We are passing on
herewith some advice to all
electronic flash owners and to
those about to buy such units.
Give your unit the. same rea-
sonable care that you would
your portable radio or camera.
It's components can withstand
all ordinary shock and ham
ding; but unnecessary tum-
bling about in the trunk of a
car, for example, could result
in the break of one hidden
connection inside and out Of
sight. At a beach, stand it in
the shade. 1t should also be
shielded from rain, and must
always be stored in a dry place.
Guard Against Shocks
Never open any electronic
flash unit beyond its battery
replacement chamber. The
capacitor in these units builds
up an electric charge of very
substantial power. A terrific
shock can be dealt the inquisi-
tive camera fan who tries to
tinker with the "insides" of
one of the units. If trouble
should develop always turn the
unit over to an experienced
electrician for servicing.
When storing the unit for
periods of more than one week.
remove the batteries until you
are again ready to use it. In
replacing worn out batteries
you will get more shots with
better recycling time by stick
ing to the high-energy bat
teries made especially for cleo
tronic flash and photofiash
use. Ordinary flashlight bat
teries are fine for temporary
emergency use; they do not
have the characteristics neces-
sary for repeatedly firing an
electronic flash.

ing portability through use Of

Though Egypt. unfortunately,
refused to attend, this confer
ence succeeded in producing a

senting over 80 per cent of the

was eminently fair to all con-

The ministers agreed that the

negotiate on this basis created
Ia very grave situation. They
discussed the further measures
to be taken and reached full

The ministers were glad to
note that present events had

|Nasser Reaches
Beyond Suez,
jackson Says

NEW YORK, Sept. ii R.-
Senator Jackson, Democrat of
Washington, said today that
Egypt's Premier Canal Abdel
Nasser is seeking to dominate
the Middle East by undermining
fellow Arab governments there.
Senator jackson said Presi-
dent Nasser will not be satisfied
with control of the Suez Canal,
and added, Something has to
be done to stop Nasser."
His immediate goal after he
gets control of Suez is to be ac-
tual head of the Arab world, /"
Senator Jackson continued.
There is substantial evidence
that he is in the process of at
tempting to undermine the pres
ent government in Jordan, Syria,
Saudi Arab and Iraq."
Senator Jackson, a member of
the Armed Services Committee,
made his remarks at Idlewild
Airport on his return from a
three-week tour of Russia and
the Middle East. He did not
visit Egypt.
The situation in the Middle
East is very serious" he declared.
"Afghanistan could well be a
Soviet satellite in Is months, if
It's not already. The Soviet
Union is supplying all arms and
building a road through the
Soviet frontier over mountainous
passes, and this will provide di-
rect access to Pakistan for the
first time, and constitutes a real
threat to one of our strongest
allies in the Middle East.
i found that something has
to be done to stop Nasser. The
Nasser problem will not end by
giving. in to him on Suez. 1t
viii merely feed his aggressive
ego for new ventures, including
taking over the oil in Saudi
Arabia and other Arab coun-
tries"
Il found no evidence of any
change in the Soviet objective
Iof world domination" Senator
jackson said. The means they
employ change from time to
time. but the objective remains
the same"

The French Prime Minister
and Minister Of Foreign Affairs
conferred with the Prime Min
lister and the Foreign Secretary
at 10 Downing st. during the
evening Of Sept 10 and again in
the morning of Sept IL.
The general purpose Of this
meeting was to consider the sit
uation arising from the refusal
of President Nasser to agree to
negotiations on the basis of the
proposals Of the 10 powers fol
the future regulation of the Suez
Canal.
They paid tribute to the skill
patience and unity of the five
power committee led by the Aus
tralian Prime Minister in ex-
planning these proposals to Pres
ident Nasser.
U.N. Principles Claimed
The ministers recalled that
from the outset their govern.
acted in full conformity
with the purposes and principles
of the United Nations.
Their immediate reaction tC
the unilateral act of President
Nasser was to join with the
United States Government in
summoning a meeting of those
mainly interested in the canal
including Egypt. in order to dis.
cuss this evident threat to the
well-being of a very large pro.
