Sun Shots Easy

Sunrises and sunsets are
not only among the most
popular but also among the
easiest shots to take because
exposure is a less pertinent
issue than is ordinarily true.
Any error in the direction of
over exposure will simply
make the sunset appear
lighter and earlier.
Under exposure serves to
give deeper, richer colorS
which make the sunset ap-
pear more advanced.
A typical exposure for a
setting sun partially obscured
by cloud formations would
be 1850 at ia for Koda-
chrome or 1850 between f/5.6
and 8 for Kodak Ektachrome
film.

NUMISMAT|C NOTES
Julius Caesar

Caius Julius Caesar,
Rome's great dictator and the
founder of the Roman En-
pire, was the first Roman to
have his portrait on coins in
his own lifetime.
Born in 100 BIC, he was a
member of the Julian clan
which claimed descent from
the goddess Venus. Many of
his coins have a head of
Venus on the diverse.
Caesar is best known, at
least to past generations of
schoolboyS, for his conquest
of Transalpine Gaul, report
ed in the purest of classic
Latin in his Commentaries.
Several coins commemorate
the conquest, showing mill
tary trophies and the captive
Gallo chleftaln Verclngeto-
riX.
Another coin shows an ele-
phant trampling on a serpent
to symbolic his victory over
the German chieftain Ario-
viStuS. The reverse shows
symbols of the priesthood,
since Caesar had been elect
ed pontifex maximus or chief
priest of Rome in 81 B. C.
After sharing Roman rule
with Pompey and Crassus for
a number of years Caesar at
tanned supreme power as per-
petual dictator in As B. C.
That is the title represented
on the silver denariuS of the
moneyer P. Sepulius Macer
which is illustrated. Other
portrait coins were minted by

Powers Future
After Jail Year

MOSCOW, Aug. 19 (AP>.-
Francis Gary Powers, pilot of
the U-2, completed his first
full year in prison today with
nobody'S knowing for sure how
he is getting on or his pros
poets for release.
He was sentenced August 20
last year to 10 years "depriva-
ton of liberty" for spying. The
first three were to be served
in prison, the remainder in a
labor camp.
Imprisoned at Vladimir,
about 100 miles east of Moscow,
Mr.. Powers is said to be work.
ing in a paper shop making
envelopes.
All that could be learned to-
day at the United States EN-
baSSy was that repeated re-
quests to see Mr.. Powers had
been ignored. The Moscow
foreign office accepts the re-
quests, then simply gives no
reply. The last request was
made about a month ago.
Letter Hints Transfer
In the United States, Bar
bara Powers, wife of the pilot,
said two weeks ago she had
received an indication in a
letter from her husband that
he might be transferred from
the prison to a labor camp in
about three months.
Embassy officials had no in
formation to support this news
and seemed somewhat dubious.
1t is possible, of course, that
Mr.. Powers has been given
credit for good behavior so that
his prison term might be short
ened.
His sentence provided that
the time he had served after
his plane came down near
Sverdlovsk May / last year
would be considered as a part
of his time served.
If he is to be released in
three months he would have
served about half of the time
he was scheduled to stay in
prison.
Wife May See Him
Mrs. Powers has indicated
she would come to Russia to
be with her husband, at least
for a time, on his transfer
from prison to the labor camp.
Russian prison regulations
are relatively lenient when a
prisoner has been transferred
to labor camp. His wife may
be allowed to stay with him in
a private cabin for several
days.
So far as is known no Amer
ican has seen Mr.. Powers
since members of his family
were allowed to talk to him
privately Immediately after he
was sentenced.
Mrs. Powers was taken in
secret away from her hotel by
prison officials to spend a few
hours alone with her husband
on the outskirts Of Moscow
just before he was taken away.
She is apparently the last
American to see him.
