Working with photography
Is something like making a
shoo-fly pie. Occasionally, for
best results, you have to stir
things with your finger.
Ward HuzZard was talking
the other day about how some
amateur photographers get
certain results with one film
developer combination, while
others find the same combina-
ton unavoidable.
And in illustrating his point,
he told the story of Mrs. HUI
Yards problems with shoo-fly
pie. She got the recipe from
Mr.. HuzZard's mother, and
the directions called for stir
ring the mixture with her
finger.
Mrs. Huzzard didn't take
this advice literally, and used
a fork. Realistically pie no
good. Next time she stirred
with her finger, and the pie
turned out perfectly.
Mr.. Huzsard, as you may
have guess e d, comes from
York, in the heart Of the shoo-
fly pie area of Pennsylvania
But his inclinations lean to-
wards photography, and the
production Of excellent 16x2O'
inch prints.

and developed in Microdol-X

water. He uses the same de-
veloper with Plus-X film, but
rates it only at ASA us, slow
er than most people.
"I've used other develop
ers," Mr.. Huzzard said. "I've
used Diafine and Acufine and
others, but never seemed tt
get CONSTANT results. Others
l know seem to like those de
velopers, but they just dom
seem to work for me-"

to the S5-millimeter camera.
Now he works almost entirely
with the smaller negatives.
Mr.. Huzzard started taking
pictures a good many years
ago as a snapshooter who had
the corner drugstore make his
prints. S ON cone suggested
that he could do his own de-
veloping and printing, and
this led to his present serious
interest in photography.
He believes photography de-
finitely can be an art In some
hands. For him. 1t is a means
of expressing his feeling about
the subject being photo

100000, there is no audit of

The charter proposal sis not

said. This comes form the
Bureau of the Budget and is
a bold attempt at Federal in
reference through the execu-
tive secretary"
He said he and other men,
bers of the council have no
confidence in the organization
"as long as its officials allow
the executive secretary to make
policy"
Alexandria Mayor Frank E.
Mann, also a Council of Gov
ernments member, defended the
charter proposal.
We've done everything open
and above-board," he said.
Rather than an attempt tc
establish a "super-metro gov
ernment," the charter is de-
signed to set up a strong
voluntary government to pre-.
vent this sort of thing" hi

Mr.. Pickens made his state
ment during a meeting of the
Alexandria City Council, of
which he is a member. The
proposed charter came under
discussion as an item to be
considered for Endorsement by
the council.
After Mr.. Pickens' lengthy
criticism, the four councilmen
who were present agreed to de-
fer action on the issue until q
full seven-member council con-
siders it next fall.
The charter, If granted by
Congress, would make the
Council of Governments the
only area agency eligible for
Federal 701 planning funds
which the Regional Planning
Council and other groups could
not obtain.
Mr.. Pickens charged that the

 He also pointed out that when the program was initiated by the legislature in 1855, it was placed within the Office of the Governor, a Republican, because ''it just didn't fit in any other department"
 Putting all these functions un- der the Department of Public Works would be defeating the pro- gram," Rader said.
 In conclusion, however, Strand berg said:
 Sooner or later this program is going to lose, if it stays within the Office of the Governor.
 Tt will lose through lack of appropriation because it has not been conducted in an orderly man. ner."

Republicans Make
 Reply of "Not Guilty"

WASHINGTON R - A charge by Vice President Lyndon Johnson that partisan attacks are aimed at undermining public confidence in President Kennedy brought prompt Republican reply of mot guilty" today.
 Johnson told the National Ad- vertising Council in a speech last night if the nations effectiveness in world affairs is to be pre- served the central focus of parti- san attack cannot continue to be the peoples confidence in the in stitution of the Presidency of the United States"
 He seemed obviously to be aim ing at Republican criticism of Ken nedy's Cuban policies and of the administrations relations with US. allies when he said:
 Under our Constitution, the ex- ecutive and only the executive speaks for and acts for this na- tion in relations abrOad-and no partisan cause can justify disre- gard of this standard"
 Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen said in an interview he has no quarrel with the constitu- tional provision clothing the Presi- dent with power in the field of foreign relations.
 Denying Republicans were try ing to undermine Kennedy's presi- dential authority, Dirksen said he believes there is valid place for criticism of executive action.
 Criticism is always in order," he said. "It gives vigor to our sys- tenn"
