CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. j. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer

Taking good home movies
Is as easy as pie II you OBJ
serve a few rules no more
difficult to master than those
followed in shooting still pic
lures. Today we will discuss
the basic factors that go to-
ward making good movies and
follow up at a later date with
more of the same.
The first thing every be-
ginner should do when he
buys a new movie camera is
to sit in an easy chair and
study the manual that comes
with it. Never try to use 1t
until you have a full under
standing of a new camera,
how it operates mechanically
and how it should be adjusted
to meet varying conditions.
Some cameras are quite
simple, having preset controls
for both speed and exposure.
Others require manual TO-
cusing and speed regulation
and lens adjustments fol-
varying lighting conditions.
But in any event be certain
that you know exactly how
each knob and control is to
be used before you start out
with film in the camera. To
save money on wasted film
you should practice dry runs
by Stimulating taking actual
scenes with no film in the
camera.
Loading Your Camera
Loading the camera cor
rectly is most important. II
yours is the magazine type
this is no problem, except
that you must remember that
with 8 nm. cameras the film
must go through the camera
twice since only half the film
is used on each run. This
is also true with 8 nm. roll
film.
When loading roll film take
every precaution to keep the
light from striking the film.
Best load it in the shade,
but even then keep a finger
pressed against the film on
the full reel to prevent it's un-
winding by accident. Each roll
of film is protected to some
extent by extra length on
each end. So be sure to run
this amount off at the begin
ming of each roll and allow
for an equal amount at the
end. Just how much can be

learned BY consulting your
camera booklet.
How to Hold Camera
The way you hold your
camera will determine to a
great extent the success or
failure of your movie scenes.
And. since movie cameras
have different designs, each
will have to be held accord
ingly. Again, your camera
manual will tell you just
what the grip is for that par
ticular instrument.
If you don't maintain a
steady. firm grip on your
camera the scenes will reflect
this unsteadiness on the
screen with eye-straining re-
suits.
In addition to gripping the
camera firmly, keep your
arms close to your body,
pointing your elbows at the
ground.
And when following a NOV
ing subject don't make the
mistake of trying to turn on
your heels or move your feet
in any way.
Instead. follow the action
by turning your body smooth
ly from the waist.
Speed Settings
Your camera will probs bly,
have several speed settings,
possibly from 8 frames per
second to "a frames per sec
ond. But for normal action
speed, set the speed for 16
frames per second as most
silent movie projectors screen
at this rate. With such a
protector, scenes taken at g.
IL frames per second would
make the action seem faster
than normal on the screen
while those taken at speeds
faster than 16 frames would
appear as slow motion on the
screen. Such illusions are
sometimes deliberately Great
ed by the cinematographer
and that is why such settings
are available, but for all
normal" filming stick to the
16-frame formula.
Focus Important
Focus is also Of great i'm
portance. Some cameras are
pre-focused anc anything
from 6 feet to infinity will be
recorded sharply on the film.
But many other cameras
have manual settings and
these must be adjusted from
scene to scene as distances
vary from camera to sub
ject. YoI will soon learn the
range of sharpness at differ
ent focus settings, but on
extreme cloSe-upS you must
be more careful at judging
distances.
Rewind Each Scene
Another good point to keep
in mind. Rewind your camera
after each and every scene.
This will save you the en-
barrassment of having the
camera run down" right in
the middle of a scene. This
is a film-saving habit that
should be acquired and it will
also insure you against the
loss of some bit of action
that you want badly to re-
cord.

! Great Seal Of u. S.
: On Malaria Stamp
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Inc Great Seal OF the
United States and the SYM
boil of the World Health Or
ganization provide the design
for the Accent Malaria Erad-
ication stamp to be issued
here March 80.
First day ceremonies joint
ly sponsored by the Post Of
ice Department and the De-
partment of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare will be
held in the HEW Auditorium,
$50 independence avenue
S.W.
The use of the Great Seal
in the design stresses United
States participation in the
world United Against Ma
laria" campaign Of the World
Health Organization.
More than 80 nations have
agreed to cooperate in the
program through the issu-
ance of stamps or the use Of
special postal markings.
Most of the stamps are ex-
pected to appear on World
Health Day, April 7. Three
will come carrier SWitzer-
land on March 10 and the
United Nations and the
United States on March 80.
The program officially ends
on December 81.
The WHO Executive Board
has urged the 109-member
nations to donate a percent
age from the sale of stamps
or the stamps and covers
themselves for the benefit of
the anti-malaria campaign.
Such philatelic material is to
be distributed to dealers by
a Philatelic Agency for ma
laria Eradication Postage
Stamps set up for the pur-
pose by Manfred R. Lehman
of New York.
United States stamps can
not be donated in this way,
but American financial sup
port for the continuing pro-
gram has been and will con-
tinue to be substantial.
During the three-year
period 195S-1960 the United
States contributed more than
$40 million to the eradica-
ton campaign, chiefly
through the International
Cooperation Administration,
WHO, the Pan American
Health Organization and the
United Nations Children's
Fund. In addition, the equiv
lent of $50 million in United
States owned or controlled
foreign currency was used for
the purpose.
The Malaria stamp, de-
signed by Charles R. Chick
ering of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, will be
printed on the Giori press in
two colors, blue for the WHO
symbol and background and
ochre for the Great Seal. 1t
will be produced in an order
of 100 million and issued in
post office sheets of so.
Addressed covers for first
day cancellation, with remit
lance for the cost of the
stamps, may be sent to the
Postmaster, Washington ID,
D. c. The outer envelope to
the postmaster should be
marked First Day Covers
: Malaria Stamp" and must be
postmarked not later than
March 26.

property within the District of
Columbia"
This statement incorporated
the yardstic kfrom the Dis
trict's legal staff on the key
stone point of whether the
Commissioners have authority
to put anti-bias regulations on
the books.
In his statement, the Negro
organization spokesman said
that:
This very knowledge that /
am Disseminated against. that
I am forced to pay high rents
greater costs at high rates of
interest for the house / can
live in disturbs me and denies
me the comfort and quiet you
are called upon to protect.
This act of discrimination
lends itself also to the inability
of many to provide for them
selves adequate medical and
dental care and the ability to
be selective in their diets since
so much of their income must
go for housing"
Mr.. jackson said that Ne
groes in the District are fenced
in by discrimination, which in
turn causes overcrowding. This
overcrowding, he said, cuts
back on areas Of decent housing.
He challenged the Commits
sioners to have health and
crime statistics broken down
according to overcrowded
areas.
Realtor Opposed
The president of the Board
of Realtors, Mr.. DeFranceaux,
however, said adoption of anti
bias regulations carrying crimi-
nal penalties "is totally un-
necessary at this time"
Mr.. DeFranceaux argued
that If discrimination exists in
housing, it does not result in
the social evils set forth in the
Corporation Counsel's criteria
for antibias action.
The witness also told the
Commissioners that:
For all We know, President
Kennedy's order may solve the
entire problem"
The White House recently is
sued an executive anti-bias
order that mainly covered new
construction of housing fl
by FILA and VA loans.
"An enormous amount of
building in the District will be
financed with Federal assist
ance and will produce plenty Of
open-occupancy housing" Mr..
DeFranceaux said.
Turning to the legal ques-
ton, he told the Commissioners
the "factual showing (of in
Jury to the community must
relate to conditions as they will
exist under President Kennedy's
comprehensive order, not as
they existed last year or 10
years ago. Police regulations
are made for the future, and
who knows what the future will
be when President Kennedy'S
order gets into operation"
Denies Discrimination
He went on to say that:
II am pointing out that, as
Iong as President Kennedy's
,rder remains untried. the
commissioners can make no
finding of fact at all as to what
discrimination will exist in the
hear future"
Later in his statement, Mr..
0eFranceaux said:

Housing Views Conflict
At Inteqroted Hearing

The Commissioners hearing
on discrimination in housing
today was integrated - with
about equal representation of
Negroes and whites-but the
views of the spectators we're
sharply segregated.
The Negro, who was seeking
a house or an apartment, was
sitting next to the white who
was worried about selling his
house or the safety Of his COM
munity.
II want a house myself" said
Littleton Jackson of l443 Spring
road NV. THE results of this
hearing may determine whether
I can find one"
A Negro woman said, Its
simple. I'm here because can't
find an apartment I can live
in. I can't got outside the Dis
trict because I have a health
problem and no transporta-
ton"
Some, like Miss Lucia M.
Pitts, of 3008 Sherman avenue
NV, a retired inter-group re-
lations officer with the Public
Housing Administration, came
because they were interested in
the group-it could alter the
whole pattern of Negro life.
The white opinions tended to
be concerned with homes and
neighborhoods.
Sherman Howerter, of 3O35
Alabama avenue Sc, said, I've
been trying to sell my house for
several months and I can't do
it. I'm sure this is one of the
causes. People aren't buying be-
cause they are worried about
the effect of this law.

white spectators were elderly
women.

Damage Proof
Held Key TO
Housing Edict

The District Commissioners
have no authority to adopt
anti-bias housing regulations
unless they first find concrete
evidence that segregated hous-
ing endangers the welfare of
Washington residents.
A determination that hous-
ing discrimination has an ad-
verse psychological and socio-
logical impact on the city is not
enough to warrant adoption of
such regulations.
This is the position taken
by the Commissioners legal
staff. the Corporation Coun-
sells office, on the housing dis
elimination question.
April Hearing Recalled
This legal opinion said that
If the Commissioners find that
housing bias does result in a
demonstrate" danger to the
health, welfare and safety Of
the residents, then they have
authority to put anti-discrimi-
nation regulations on the books.
This authority, the legal staff
said, comes from an 1892 con-
gressional resolution.
In the opinion, Acting Cor
poration Counsel Milton D.
Norman. noted that the United
States Civil Rights Commits
sion held housing hearings in
Washington last April.
These hearings. Mr.. Norman
said, produced relatively little
evidence" to support the posi-
ton that housing bias "oper-
ates to the detriment of the
health and safety of the gen.
eral public"
During the testimony, there
were reference to such social
evils as juvenile delinquency
and health hazards, Mr. Kor-
man wrote. He added, however,
that the general tenor" of the
testimony was that housing
discrimination:
-. is pSychologically and
sociologically detrimental to a
stable portion, If not the ma
jority, Of the population of the
District Of Columbia"
Questions Validity
Mr.. norman questioned
whether psychological and So
Geological detriment can be
considered as constituting valid
justification for the exercise of
the police power" authorized by
the 1892 congressional resolu-
ton. He said:
II am of the view, rather,
that the exercise of such power
Is dependent on a finding by
the Commissioners that dis
elimination and segregation in
housing result, directly or in
directly, in a demonstrable
danger to the lives, limbs,
health. comfort and quiet Of
persons, or to the safety OF
property"
If the Commissioners find
that housing bias does hurt the
community to the extent citec
in Mr.. Korman's opinion, a Sec
ond hearing will be called.
