self mounted on a jeep
passed among them to ex-
plain and thank them for
coming. This gesture they
greatly appreciated as it made
them feel worthy of recogni-
ton and important in their
own right.
Thorlichen had fed to
Argentina when he fell out
with Evita and Juan Peron.
They wanted him to serve
the personality cult but he
insisted that the life of the
people alone could reflect Ar
genina to the world. When
he fled to Bolivia he made
friends fast-from the presi-
dent to the lowliest peon.
Thorlichen was first prom
inent in the United States
when he was part of the
diplomatic mission that &C
companied President Arturo
Frondizi of Argentina to
Washington. His one-man
exhibition of photographs at
that time made an immedi-
ate hit. Pan American Union
officials were most enthuSi-
astic. The exhibition was
booked for transfer to the
Smithsonian Institution. The
Voice of America is inter-
eSted. The exhibition may
travel in this country.
Thorlichen's trip back to
Argentina-after his flight
to Bolivia - was the more
memorable because of his
triumphS elsewhere in the
interim. His books were
printed in Germany. His ex-
hibitionS were diplomatic
triumphs in Europe, especially
in Scandinavia. Germany
and Madrid.
His Bolivian pictures. taken
with an Ikoflex on American
film, were the basis of two
government sponsored pic
ture photo books-"The In
dian" and The Price of
Tin" The latter is a solemn,
majestic, art preachment

A blond of German origin,

convention of the Master
Photo Dealers and Finishers
Association in Philadelphia,
manufacturers put tn cir
latest wares on the line.
Kodak is introducing a new
high-speed Ektachrome film
with an ASA rating of 160
which will be on the market
in-June. This film is reputed
to be five times faster than
previous products of the same
type and will be aimed at
the color-slide market. 1t
is not recommended for use
in non-adjustable cameras.
To be available in 20
exposure magazines for 35-
nm. cameras, the new color
film will aid the photographer
in a number of ways. Higher
shutter speeds; increased
depth of field, because Of
smaller spertures; and max
ing good use of available
tungsten illumination in
doors, are among benefits
cited.
Type B for artificial light
with an index of 100 will be
available only in 35-mm. rolls.
Automatic Brownie
The Brownie line will be
increased by several new
models, chief of which is the
first automatic of its type,
having an electric-eye ex-
posure control that has here
tofore been seen chiefly in
the higher priced cameras.
This is the Starmatic which

Another newcomer is the

a three lens turret.
