U. S. Gold coins--3

Before discussing the vari-
Gus types OF United States
gold coins, We must try TO
answer a question which Is
frequently asked: where did
the gold used In the produc-
ton Of our gold coins come
from7"
The adventurous followers
OF Columbus were driven by
dreams OF treasures OF gold
and silver. Later, during the
18th century, selfish story
tellerS reported that Sir Fran
els Drake had found gold in
California. But. while the
golden future was there. no
gold was mined In note
worthy quantities In the
United States until the end
OF the 18th century. There
fore. during the early years
OF Its existence, the United
States Mint used gold coming
mostly from foreign coins de-
posted for recoining.
Aside from foreign coins.
the principal supply Of the
nations gold came. until
lS48, from placer mines in
the hills along the eastern
slopes Of the Appalachian
Mountains. In 1899. little

This may or may not come
as a surprise 10 the old
timers IN photography but
the familiar Speed Graphic
OF yesteryear has gone the
way OF the glass plate and
has been succeeded by the
super Graphic 45"-a brand
new camera designed 10 meet
the stiff competition Of the
35-mm. and l20-roll cameras.
This Is more than just the
addition OF a few new gadg-
cts for the Super Graphic

from stem 10 stern. Even the
body is different, being made
OF aluminium 10 provide both
strength and liRhtness. The
finish is a handsome char
coal and gray two-tone ef-
feet.
Gone is the familiar focal
plane back and In its place
is a revolving back that turns
a full $50 degrees In either
direction. The back is
equipped with click stops so
that the proper position can
be quickly and accurately set.
The revolving back also
makes 1t possible to change
from horizontal TO vertical
framing without removing
the camera from the tripod
when 1t is so mounted.
Automatic Aperture
A focusing scale on top OF
the camera, placed there for
better visibility, replaces the
distance scale which is found
on the front end Of the focus
ing track of the Speed
Graphic. The focusing scale
has combined and co-ordinat-
ed with it a flash calculator
so that focusing the camera
will automatically provide the
correct lens aperture for a
flash shot. 1t is, however,
first necessary to preset a
dial with the guide number
for the fiashbulb and film
being used.
The front lens board has
been designed for great fiexi-
bility. 1t swings right and
left, shifts from side to side,
tilts forward and back, rises
and falls. These movements,
when used singly or in COM
bination. make it possible for
the cameraman to use very
wide-angle lenses, maintain
parallels and increase the
depth Of field when taking
pictures from an extreme
angle. and correct optical dis
tortion. This feature makes
the camera especially valu-
able to commercial and
architectural photographers
who are apt to encounter
difficulties with cameras not
built to compensate for such
troubles.
The focusing panel has a
slide-off release so that a
film pack adapter, Grafmatic
magazine or Polaroid back
can be quickly slipped into
place to become part of the
revolving back.
Focusing Hood
The Super Graphic has a
focusing hood that can be
snapped on and off at will.
This makes it possible for the
photographer to make a crit
ical study of the ground
glass without interference
from the focusing hood. The
hood also has a metal clip
which holds the dark slide
while.a picture is being made.

EDITORIAL
PUBLIC ID

Besides the powerful reasons of moral order by which
the democratic Governments Of America should close ranks
and unite for the defense of the ideals of the people in the
twenty one countries of the Hemisphere, there are others
OF great significance, which should encourage these govern
mentS to an adequate struggle against dictatOrial regimes.
The international public order suffers greatly with the
existence of that kind of authorities, which do as they please
in their respective countries, without taking into cOnsidera-
ton human dignity, or the supreme interest of the Father
land and, of course, without worrying in the least about
OF concern becomes, in many cases, in one way or another,
a violation OF the international public order.
The relationships want, because of necessity, in order
to exist, to carry their influence and power to other lands.
An in the pursuit of that endeavOr, they are capable of
committing abuses or incur in violations of the sovereignty
of other States. Besides, in their outrageous purpose of
confusing continental public opinion, they create as much
diStruSt as they can around the countries where democratic
governments exist. To this it must be added that within
the Organization of American States they constitute a
force which not only is negative, but also %retarding, because
they usually engage in %SabOtaging any progress in the Inter
American System, in particular regarding the surrounding
with decOrum the condition of the human being. That
decorum implies, logically, political freedom and the rights
which relationships deny to them, ana suppress in order to
exist.
1t is necessary, therefore, as a question of interna-
tiOnal public order, i'm order to avoid irregularities that
create within the communities deSpOtic and authoritarian
governments, that the democratic regimes, which fortuna
tely are a majority in America, engage in efforts to main
tain a climate of political decency and honesty in the
whole continent, so tina. there will be no country in America
which is not worthy of the title of Republic, in the highest
and nOblest institutional sense of the word.
Whenever in America all the twenty one governments
are of legitimate democratic origin, there will be more
reciprocal trust among the States, and there will be, above
all, a greater sense of human fraternity in the relations
of the peoples of the Hemisphere. And before the world,
America would be worthy OF more respect.

trationS l had suspended my trip.
What about the prestige Of the
United States, then? In the first
place, it would had appeared as if
the communists are ruling Vene-
zuela, which is false, as they only
are a very small minority there;
and secondly, it would had meant
the us. representative had been
extorsioned, that he was afraid and
that he didn't have courage enough
to face those demonstrators. .
ut is my opinion that the facts
have proved / was right, because
the communists exceeded in their
outrages which made some Latin
American governments realize that
the communists constitute a real
danger, all which have made them
react u~nfavorable, against them.
And also think it helped the
United States to react in favor of
the Latin American problems with
effectiveness"
In answer to another questions
Nixon said he believes the United
States must step up its exchange
cultural program with Latin Anne
RIGA, and that tariffs must also
be reduced.
Latin American countries are
among our best customers; we de-
pend on each other. Therefore, it
is essential that we should gra-
dually reduce those tariffs in the
years to come Also a flood of mo-
ney both governments and pri-
vate from the U. S. must go to La
tin America.
Summarizing I will say: Latin
America countries, in their great
majority are our friends They
want to trade with us and main
tain good political and diplomatic
relations with us. We must rec
nize that and the advantage in aid
to Latin America is reciprocal. A
strong, vigorous, healthy and stron
Latin America meqns a more pros
porous United States"
Finally the Vice-PreSident SUI
ggeStS a good will tour of two of

All American Attack on Leprosy to

WASHINGTON, D. C. A

gional Office of the World Health
Organization, as he left for South
America to attend the meeting.
Development of the sulfone
drugs, which a arrest or retard

remove the symptoms and prevent
its transmission to others, has re-
volutionized the approach, as we'll

Disease now have the prospect of
Leading more nearly normal lives

One important result of this de-
