When on the ground selected

exercise develops admirably
her physical forces, and may
kneel down in the soft grass

husband is prospecting and
choosing the best points of

IF she is tired, she has the
perfect liberty of saying so,
and will be charmed by the
assurance that only a few more
negatives will be needed, and
that a pail or so Of water from
the brook down in the hollow
will be all she will be required
to carry. Fresh air, fine healthy
exercise, patience exercised,
perseverance exhibited, fatigue
despised, hunger ignored, heat
scorned and virtue rewarded
with the commentator that
she has done tolerably well,
and has not made very many
mistakes! All these are her
special advantages, and we
hope that she appreciates
them.
Then if she desires a por-
trait of herself or friend, she
can secure it (when the ar
list has nothing else to do)
without cost, save of coaxing
and gentle persistence in de-
manding. All the poor prints Of

Curator of Photography. the Smith
sonian Institution
Recently I read some
strangely familiar words while
perusing a letter to the editor
Of the Philadelphia Photog-
rapher. The date was De-
cember, 1865, but, with a few
minor changes, it might well
sum up the plants Of the
modern darkroom widow" to
whom we dedicate today's COL
umn without further ado. We
quote:
"Mr. Editor: AS you have
been presented with articles
describing the trials of the
amateur photographer and his
wife, 1t seems but fair that the
reverse of one part of the pic
ture should be exhibited, and
the world made aware of the
privileges which belong to the
lady whose happy lot it is to
have a husband addicted to
this beautiful art. These are
many and manifest. ! will try
to name a few of those least
obvious to ordinary eyes.
I'm the first place, the mind
of the lady so happily circum-
stanced has peculiar faculties
afforded for expansion in
scientific knowledge by the per-
mission given her to watch
the progress of this wonderful
process Of sun-painting. She
has a peep, now and then, into
a dark closet, very close and
smelly, where a dim gas light
trembles over a bath in which
prints are washed after due
chemical treatments, and If
quiet, capable, of entire abb
stinence from a natural pro-
pensity to finger, she is al
lowed to look at the dripping

Deepfreeze Covers
Being Flown Out
BY BELMONT FAIRIES

All of the half-million phila-
telic covers taken to Antarc-
tica in the fall of 1855 by
Operation Deepfreeze I, have
been Cancelled and are being
returned by air on a space
available basis, the Navy re-
ported last week.
Left behind last spring be-
cause there had not been time
to process them before the de-
parture of the expeditions
ships, they had not been ex-
pected before the return Of
Deepfreeze II cargo vessels in
the spring of 1857.
A number Of covers pre-
paid at the airmail rate
reached the Washington area
November 9, and more bearing
3-cent stamps arrived last
week. They had been can
celed at Little America on
May /, 1856.
Although three post Offices
were planned, all the Deep
freeze I covers were post
marked Little America, since
Byrd Station and Pole Sta
ton are not yet in opera
ton. Expedition members left
at Little America during the
Antarctic winter put in 500
off-duty man hours of work
to complete the canceling job.
The covers are being moved
out as rapidly as cargo space
available on the Nays planes
will permit, but there is no
assurance that all will be re-
turned before next spring.

Jay Carpenter, president Of
the Northern Virginia Stamp
Club, has a catalogue number
he can call his own.
About a year ago Mr..
Carpenter, a general collector,
was soaking some Argentine
officials off paper. A 2-peso
stamp of the 1861 regular
issue. overprinted "SERVICIO
OFFICIAL" showed a distinct
watermark. Checking his
catalogue, he found no such
variety listed.
Convincing catalogue edi-
tors takes time. The official
recognition of Mr.. Carpenters
discovery appeared in the
October issue Of SCOTS

Der O53 was assigned to his

eign policy stresses two ideas in

First. that we will remain
loyal to our friendships or al

security system. This clearly
indicates our determination to

our American friends, to main
tain the Atlantic alliance and
to expand it into new fields"
Second, the need ito re-estab-
lish contact with countries of
the East, which until now have
wilfully isolated themselves from
the rest of the world, but in the
last several months have been
making an effort to raise what
used to be known as the Iron
Curtain"
Mr.. Pineau said policy of
rapproachement would not con-
tradict present collective security
arrangements like NATO las long
as we are really convinced that
international differences cannot
be settled by war"

commented in what may have
been a reference to the Are
nauer-Dulles communique, land
while certain of the existing
safeguards must be maintained,

in nature"
The French Foreign Minister
called recent developments in the
Soviet Union and its satellites
very important.
Russia's leaders, he said, "are
ready to make a certain
number Of unavoidable sacri-
fees required for return to a
more normal economy so that
collaboration between East and
West may become a reality"
Mr.. Pineau believes the West
would gain more than it would
lose from increased East West
contact.

new firm. Also, he said. the Com
miSsioners would describe talks
with two other would-be pur-
chasers and summarize the pro-
poSals they had made for fran
chise conditions.
In addition. Mr.. Mclaughlin
said the commissioners would
describe franchise conditions
they regard as proper and would
make "our own recommendations
on legislation"
He said none of the franchise
proposals made by any of the
three were acceptable.
The Commissioners conferred
yesterday morning with Harry
McDonald of Florida, former
head of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. and of the Sc
curities and Exchange Commits
sion under the Truman admin
istration. Mr.. Mcdonald heads
Ia local group which has proposed
to buy Capital Transit's stock
and reorganize the company
after retiring the shares owned
by the company's controlling
stakeholder, Louis E. Wolfson.
Also, the Commissioners met
for two hours with four repre-
lsentatives Of National City
Lines. who Friday signed an
agreement with CTC President
j. A. B. Broadwater to buy the
assets of the company and set
up a new firm to operate a
transit system. The deal had
two major conditions. These
called for congressional approval
Iof a franchise satisfactory to-
National City, and approval by
holders of two-thirds Of the
Capital Transit stock.
Meet With BrOadwater
In the meantime. Mr.. Chalk
and Mr.. Fox conferred with Mr..
Broadwater and were assured
their proposal to buy the assets
of the company would be con-
Isidered by the Board of Directors
at its next regular meeting June
%.
The Commissioners report
will go. to House and Senate
conferees seeking to reconcile
the widely divergent bills to
solve Washington's transit crisis
passed by the two chambers.
Representative Harris, Democrat
of Arkansas. leader of the House
confereeS, said the Conference
Committee would meet again
for the second time at 2::3O pm.
tomorrow.
The Commissioners were ex-
pected to urge congressional
enactment of the bill passed
recently by the Senate to-
establish a publicly owned
Washington Metropolitan Tram
sit Authority. AS passed by
the Senate. it would be estab-
Ilished on an interim" basis for
three years. During that time.
the Commissioners would op-
crate the system and attempt to
sell it to a private buyer.
The National City Lines group
was headed by Vice President
B. w. Franklin of Chicago. It
included Robert Thrun, of the
general counsel's Office; S. G.
Stewart. controller. and Merrill
Knox, a transit consulting en-
Igineer employed by the Chicago
Transit Authority.
