With Christmas just around
the corner, we'd like to point
out that two things are cer-
tain about making movies
that day. One is that no oc-
casion promises more signifi-
cant and memorable picture
opportunities. And the other
is that no pictures can tell
the Christmas story from
the hanging Of the stockings
by the fireplace to the carv-
ing Of the holiday turkey
as completely. as colorfully,
and as effortlessly, as those
made with a personal movie
camera.
Before attempting to prove
our points to your satisfac-
ton. we'll assume that, to
date. you have never held q
movie camera in your hands
and tell you a few facts
about becoming q mCvie-
maker.
Hard to Go Wrong
First Of all. it's easy. And
probably much less expensive
than you think. Cameras and
color films are so versatile
these days that 1t takes ef-
fort even for q beginner to
go wrong.
A movie camera operates
just as easily as any other
camera-except that when
you press the button they
purr instead Of clicking.
Some models. Just as with
still cameras, have lots of
Photographic extras, and
they cost just about as much
as the more versatile still
cameras.
Many are as simple as the
most elemental box cameras,
although they inevitably cost
Q bit more because movie
cameras unusually have
fast" lenses and must also
have precisely controlled
spring motors and mecha.
nisms necessary to smooth
and trouble-free movie max
ing.
Movie cameras take movies
Of motion which, with the
more elementary still CAM
eras. would blur the picture.
With q movie camera, how
ever. you hope your subjects
will move - although you
don't have to have motion In
every scene to enjoy good
movies.
Films Cost Moderate
Film cost? Scene for scene,
movies cost no more than
snapshots. with one reason
being that the film you shoot
is the film you show. You
must have your pictures de-
veloped. Of course. But you
don't have to order prints.
Ease? Many movie cameras
are fixed focused" which
means that with them every
things always sharp from q
few feet way out to infinity.
There's no shutter speed to
estimate because they are
designed to run at q speed
that will capture action at
the speed Of action. And the
one simple setting for ex-
posuye Is a downright cinch.
Guides Make It Easy
Built-in guides tell you how
to set the lens so as to match
the light under which you're

ably, and he will presumably
be able to destroy all our pres
ent fixed air defense bases,
which are vulnerable to q sur
prise missile raid. Verticle-
takeoff fighter planes may
therefore be needed. Since
these planes do not require
runways, the enemy would be
unable to locate them in ad-
vance and destroy them in his
first wave Of missiles.
Our communications and
command facilities would have
to be buried deep in mountains
or hidden at sea. and the equip
ment duplicated and Implicated
for insurance.
Must Protect Civilians
Defense Of civilians becomes
as important as defense of our
striking forces, once CITY,
destruction is rejected. Unless
the multi-megaton bombs fall
squarely on our cities. our ci-
villains would be in danger only
from incidental destruction. A
simple, civil defense program
would cost less than 81 billion
a year. An excellent one would
cost from So billion to $4 bill
lion a year.
1t may take five years to get
new weapons. But If the new
administration feels that the
margin Of safety in the missile
gap years-from now until 1865
is too narrow, 1t could take
emergency "quick fix" measures,
They would be expensive.
For 50 billion, concrete hang
ers could be built for some B-52
bombers. Extra ICBMs could
be set IN concrete; less vulner-
able command posts could be
built. and development OF
weapons for the late SOS could
be accelerated. Missile bases
now dangerously close to cities
could be moved to sea or into
wastelands.
One advantage of re-exami-
nation Of our basic strategy is
that decisions to buy new wea-
pons can be based on the lat
est and best thinking. Forces
now contemplated for the 1960s
will be neither large enough
nor useful enough to carry out
a spare-the-cities strategy.
If further study shows, how
ever. that our cities will be de-
stroyed no matter what our ef-
forts to save them, then logic
will dictate a smaller, invul-

would be destroyed by the larg-
est weapons. This would GER
tainly bring retaliation against
American cities. It has been
estimated that a war involving
mass destruction Of cities would
cost this country as many as
100 million more lives than a
war in which cities are spared.
The enemy's city halls, tele-
phone exchange buildings and
railroad depots must be taken
off the target lists If city de-
struction Is to be avoided, ad-
vocates of a spare-the-cities
strategy say. And military tar
gets near cities must be hit
only with the most accurate
weapons, no bigger than nee
esSary to do the military job.
Otherwise, they argue, a dew
astating exchange Of cities
might be set of which not only
would decimate populations on
both sides but would greatly
lessen OUR chances Of surviving
the war.
Here is how the hackers of
spare-the-cities startegy visual
ize its augmentation:
Targets that cannot be pin
pointed before the fighting
starts would be hit by manned
bombers. To do a faster search

assumes that In time OF war
we would destroy many hun
dredS of military" targets, in
cluding targets in large cities.
If we continue on this course,
imitation and the higher cost of
modern weapons, even without
Improvements promised during
the campaign, could add 50
billion a year to Pentagon budg-
cts over, the next 10 years. ac-
cording to informal estimates
by the Defense Department.
This would push defense spend
ing to about $50 billion a year
by 1870.
Second, strategy could be
changed to reject the policy of
hitting targets in cities. To
carry out this strategy effec-
lively. another 50 billion year
would be needed through 1865
and perhaps even continued to
1870. BY this, the defense budg-
ct could rise to perhaps $40 bill
lion a year. Good civil defense
would add another billion or so.
Or third, if we buy a finite
deterrence" force-one aimed
specifically at a few hundred
military targets, plus l50-odd
enemy cities-the saving over
the present strategy could be
put into limited war forces. To
start with, the saving plus an
annual 50 billion increase for
imitation and new weapons
should pay the whole bill. But
to buy a conventionally armed
Army, Navy and Air Force
one which could fight a World
War III engagement against the
100-odd Soviet divisions avail
able now and the several hun
dred ready for mobilization
would cost more money. just
how much would depend on the
estimate Of the threat.
Missiles Paramount
Since this series of articles is
concerned with the spare-the-
cities strategy now being pro-
NOTED in high Air Force circles,
just what would that strategy
cost?
We would need enough mis-
siles to destroy the enemy'S
fixed missile. bomber and air
defense installations. Since he
presumably will have hidden
many of his missiles on wheels
or ships by the mid-1960s.
this number would not be tied
to the total number Of his mis-
siles.
There would be no use build
ing missiles to match his mo-
bile missiles; we cannot hit
them with ICBMs. Instead
we probably would buy only
enough ICBMs to destroy his
known, fixed missile and bomb
er sites, radar installations
submarine pens and command
posts.
One missile can usually knock
out an unprotected target.
Buried missile sites require
more than one. In the near
future, perhaps two of our mis-
siles will be programmed for
each hardened enemy site. to
insure its destruction. Admiral
Burke has suggested in con-
gresional testimony that future
accuracy will permit one to do
the job. Air Force Gen. Power
intimates 10 or more. Most
planning now assumes ratio
of two to one by the mid-60s.
Targets Are Keys
In carrying out this strategy,
it does not matter whether our
missiles are on land. sea. air or
space. Their targets, not their
type, is what counts. The Air
Force claims that on a cost
effectiveness basis, most of our
missiles should be land-based.
The Navy says they should be
sea biased to insure survival.
Type and number Of missiles
and planes are not as import
ant in nuclear strategy as the
nature of the targets. Under
present plans, many political
targets within Russian cities

who is motivated by faith in

lief in mans humanity to man.
This can be provocative, es-
pecially to audiences who have
been over-exposed recently to
the case histories of sinful

river is fierce and funny, as It
should be, but also fuzzy, which
1t shouldn't.
It leaves the audience to con-
lecture that "One More Riv-

viction that not only this is
less than the best possible of

thing frightfully wrong with
its dominant species.
