ScowI and GoveI Helped
Run Big Show

CHICAGO. Aug. 1e R.-
When it comes to running polit-
ical conventions, Sam Rayburn
of Texas gets tougher with the
years.
The Democratic meeting that
ended yesterday was the third in
a row. over which the 74-year-
old Speaker of the House of
Representatives has welded a
firm gavel.
Mr.. Rayburn, who has presided
over the House longer than any
other man in history, runs con-
Iventions somewhat like he runs
the House. He knows and uses
every rule in the book. No one
ever has accused him publicly of
deviating from the book. But
nothing in the rules says you
can't win a point with a timely
scowl.
Mr.. Rayburn demonstrated to
1856 convention delegates and
ltelevision audiences, that he can
handle just about any situa-
Ition. He blocked a roll-call vote
lin the civil rights plank simply
be refusing to recognize delegates
shouting for a nose-count. And
he abruptly ended the roll call
that nominated Adlai Stevenson
as the party's presidential can
didate without allowing some
delegation chairmen to change
votes and get on the winners
bandwagon. The rules gave him
the right to do that.
It was the same Mr.. Rayburn
who in 1852 gaveled down an
lincipiept Young Turk" revolt
against the Democrats civil
rights plank.
Mr.. Rayburn probably has
more personal friends among
convention delegates and off,
Gals than any one else. Many
of the convention speakers are
graduates Of "Mr. Sans" school

New Camera Has AutOm atic Light Exposure

As any camera enthusiast can vouch, probably the most impor- tant technique in the taking of good pictures-and the most diff ficult to master-is the determin- ation of light exposure time.
 A new camera developed by the US. aircraft industry could make all shutterbugs expert" except for the fact that the accessory to make it practical, half million dollar fighter plane, runs a little high for the hobbyist.
 According to PLANES, official publication of the Aircraft Indus tries Association, the newly de- veloped camera is capable of auto matically adjusting itself to vary ing light conditions much like the human eye to control the amount of light reaching the film. A miniature computer inside the camera determines the length of exposure needed in relation to the amount of sunlight hitting the shutter This results in the auto matic adjustment of the camera lens.
 These automatic lens adjust ments, PLANES says, can be made through the seven lens openings-f 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, Il, Is and 22-to an accuracy of within one-half stop in just 1.8 seconds.
