Mr.. Laurence Reports
About the space record, let
1t be said that Mr.. Laurence
has put together a most in
formative discussion, which
will answer many questions
arising daily in the minds of
our ever-more space con-

Mr.. Laurence explains how
Newton's Laws of Motion
paved the way to present day
space probing, why satellites
remain in orbit, how the mis-
sile experts defied gravity,
and takes a long look into
the future. Well worth
having.

You'll hear him kidding
with New Workers about what

"reminiscences Of immigrants
and how they were swindled,
of plugging popular songs on

In spite of the storm that
damaged many of the sea-
bord resorts in this area the
reports are that most are
ready for the usual summer
vacationistS and, since the
majority will take their cam
eras along, we will provide a
few pointers on beach pho
Biography.
The sun poses the greatest
problems to the photogra-
pher. Unless your camera adj
justS automatically to vary
ing lighting conditions you
may be fooled by the glare,
not only from the sun itself
but from reflected light from
sand and water. This can re-
suit in negatives that are Ell
ther over or underexpoSed,
depending upon which side
the error in calculation falls.
Should yours be a camera
without this built-in feature
you should take along an
exposure meter to take the
guesswork out of your pic
ture taking.
Glare Causes Squint
Then, again, the sun, par
ticularly at midday and
Whereabouts, can cause your
human subjects to squint I'M
less they are protected by a
broad-brimmed hat or are
under a beach umbrella. And
photos of people taken in the
full glare of the sun will have
harsh shadows under the
eyes and nose or to one side
and the negative will be con-
TRASHY and difficult to print.
If you are an early riser
you should attempt to make
most of your snapshots in the
early morning when the sun
is low. But if you like to
sleep late take your pictures
in the late afternoon when
the sun has lost most of its
bite
AS you look through the
viewfinder observe not only
the composition but the light
as it falls on the face of
your subject. If there is too
much contrast, seat the sub
ject on the sand and you will
find that the reflected light
will fill in and soften the
shadows nicely.
other "EquallZerS"
Back and side-lightings are
also good "equalizers" when
combating the sun. You will
quickly notice that direct
front lightings and those
made from an overhead sun
will produce flat lightings or
those that are overbalanced
in tonal contrast.
This year try a few differ
ent tactics with your camera.
It's fine to take the usual
pictures of the family frol-
licking on the beach or in the
water, but there are other
angles" to look for that can
add interest to your vacation
snapshot collection.
For instance, if there is a
fireside beach picnic at night
don't hesitate to photograph
this activity. You may reed a
flashgun to help out, but even
without one interesting re-
suits can be obtained with a
super-fast film in the camera.
Then consider some of the
local aspects. You may find
unusual picture opportuni-
ties that are the result of
the damaging storm. Look for
freak sand formations, I'M
usual bits of debris and
major typographical changes

The Punta del Este conference of west
ern hemisphere foreign ministers has given
a Whack to the COmmuniSt-oriented Castro
regime in Cuba. The seriousness of the blow
its effects on the present Cuban govern
ments prestige, and on it's efforts to for
ment trouble in other Latin American cOun-
tries-cannot yet be assessed.
The blow was tempered somewhat, un-
dOubtedly, by the fact that six major nations
in the Organization of American States
Argentina, Brazil Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador
and MexicO-did not join in the resolution
isolating Cuba. Secretary Rusks insistence
that the significance of this withholding of
support has been exaggerated deserves at
tentlon, however. AS he pointed out, once
1T is adopted the resolution is binding on all
member states no matter how they voted
The central observation to be made now
is that one must wait and see what flows
from the anti-Castro resolution. History
demonstrates that agreements do not al
ways lead to exactly the results anticipated
Subsequent events moderate-in some cases
heighten, in others Weaken-the effect of
treaties and resolutions and the like. No
one can say, at this stage, whether the Cas-
tro government will suffer a bad setback or
not. The chances are that it will, but there
is no certainty about that
AS for Secretary Rusks appeal to other
nations in the free world to join in isolating
Cuba, large dose of optimism is required
10 envlslOn big response Too many COM
pllcating factors are involved But whether
or not the rest of the world Jumps on the
antlCastrO bandwagon is of less import
ance than that western hemisphere nations
should press home the point they made at

Wheels Will Turn In
Spoce

STAMFORD, Conn (APl-A dry
lubricant no thicker than the wave
length of green light has been de-
veloped for use by space ships
travelling far into the solar system
The revolutionary new lubricant,
known as CID 5940. was develop
ed at CHS Laboratories here and
already has been tested success
fully in weather satellites.
One Of the major problems in
volved in deep space travel has
been the failure of conventional
lubricants when subjected to high
vacuums
For example, one of the b t
lubricants on earth is graphite. In
space, however, graphite simply
disintegrates and becomes an alb
rasive
Even the best of oils and greases
evaporate quickly and the end re-
suit has been a cold Welding of
moving metal parts from the heat
of friction
The laboratory said the space
lubricant was developed by Alfred
F. Kaspaul and Erika Filege.
Essentially, said the laboratory
the lubricant con-
sists of special. multi-layer metall-
ic deposits which have a thickness
of less than one half micron the
wave lenth of green light. Twenty
million of these layers would equal
one inch
kaspaul said the lubricant would
operate at pressures up to 100000
pounds per square inch and would
withstand accelerations up to 40
times the force of gravity.
SO thin and effective is the lu-
bricant, said Kaspaul, that it does
not interfere with the tolerances of
even the finest precision bearings.
