Henderson Asks for Time to Finish Statement for Banking Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (U. P).| —The House Ranking and Cur-| rency Committee met in executive session today to consider the Ad-| ministration’s price control bill after postponing until tomorrow the start of public hearings on the} anti-inflation measure. | Price Control Administrator Leon| Henderson, who was to have been| the first witness, requested the] postponement to complete work on| the statement which he will read | to the committee, Mr. Henderson, who drafted the] price control bill in collaboration with Congressional leaders, which is the subject of the hearings, has been operating under World War) statutes and authority implied by| the executive order creating his] agency.

If everyone who goes into the they know isn't impossible to learn. on that theory this morning in the

life-saving institute this week. By and large, the Institute is Mr. | Costello himself, a bronzed young, man who seems as much at home lin the water as out of it and who {goes by the title of field representa- | tive of the Red Cross First Aid, Life Saving and Accident Prevention Service, Washington, D. C.

It's Easy for Tommy

It takes longer to say Tommy's (title than it does for him to swim {leisurely across the pool. That |looks easy, the way he does it. “It is easy,” said Mr. Costello. The veteran instructor, assisted by William H. Merrill, Red Cross life saving director here, is putting all City and private pool guards through an intensive 15-hour | water course this week. Today, he started with a demonstration of

types of kicking. As the guards lined the pool's edge, Mr. Costello dove into the water with barely a ripple and] demonstrated the scissors kick, basis of the side stroke and over(arm side stroke, then he turned on his back and demonstrated the in-

The Flutter Kick

After that, he demonstrated the frog” kick, basis of the breast stroke, and the flutter kick on which most speed swimming is based. Most of this was old stuff to the guards. But they were relearning it to teach to others. Nearly all good swimmers know one or two strokes well, Mr. Costello explained. The others, they don’t know so well or at all. , An instructor, he said, has to be pretty good with at least the nine most common strokes and the spectacular and uncommon strokes may be extra-curricular. Life saving technique was, of course, much more involved. The lifeguards handled it easily, practicing on each other and taking turns at being the “victim.” Approximately 30 lifeguards at| City and private pools have enrolled in the Institute which is held at 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. : Each Class Three Hours Each class is three hours, not all the classwork is in the water. There is a good deal of theory that has to be learned at the edge of the pool. Guards and swimmers who complete the coufse satisfactorily will become qualified instructors for Red Cross life saving and swimming methods. They wili rank among the most advanced swim{mers and water safety experts in the City. Their job will not only be to save lives, but to teach water safety so that ever-increasing numbers of swimmers learn to take care of themselves in the water. That's the Red Cross theory life saving.

Photography—

PICTURE TAKING

IN AIR IS EASY

But Watch the Angle as You ‘Shoot’ Through Plane Window.

American Airlines, Inc., has so

often been besieged by hostesses |

who have in turn been besieged by camera fans that they have opened a school to train those lovely ladies of the airlines in the fundamentals of photography from the sky. Scores of airline passengers with cameras, currently seeking advise en route from stewardesses, indicate that the average person doesn’t know the answers. So here's some advice to satisfy the questioning amateur.

In the first place, don't worry about being able to shoot a clear picture through the Flagship window. The glass is made of highest grade, clear, laminated materials. The important thing to remember is that you must watch the angle at which you point your camera so that reflections will not blind the lens. Shun the Sill

And don’t let the camera rest on the window sill because the plane’s vibration will blur the picture. Using ordinary verichrome or panatomic film, the flying photographer should shoot ground views in sunlight at 1-200 shutter speed with a lens aperture of £5.6. If your own camera's speed range does not go beyond 1-100 do mot be dismayed. Many excellent photos have been obtained at speeds as low as 1-40th of a second, on Brownie cameras and others of that type and price. For pictures inside the plane, the suggested exposure is 1-25th at f4.5 aperture. : Light is an enigmatic factor in the air. The photographer must remember that clouds reflect and thus increase light, as does also the highly-polished Flagship wing.

Stop for Clouds

If you are shooting at clouds, decrease your lens aperture by one stop at least from what you would use shooting directly at the ground. Obviously the best time to get a good air shot of the ground is when your plane is coming in slowly for a landing, circling the field, bringing you closer to the earth. Also there are aertain vantage points on a ship more favorable for pictures than others. The rear seats provide the most unobstructed view outside. But shooting from the front seats enables one to catch part of the motor, whirling propellers and wing tip, thus adding interest and depth to your picture.

No matter what you are shooting |

from a plane—clouds or ground— be sure to hold your camera tightly against yourself. Also remember that more aerial pictures are ruined by haze than for any other reason. On a hazy day a yellow filter helps. o

counter-attacks are increasing all along the front but claimed that the Soviet troops uniformly have been repulsed and asserted that the Russian counter-action was only speeding the annihilation of the Red Army, The Germans claimed that many Russian regiments have been cut to 250 to 300 effectives instead of their normal strength of 3000 in the fierce battles of the last .44 days. However, Moscow insisted that the Nazis are suffering just as severely if not worse. The destruction of the 156th Nazi Regiment was reported and it was said that the Nazi general, commanding the 16th German Division, had been killed. : The Royal Air Force was back at its heavy schedule of attacks on Germany and the occupied countries. Big attacks were made during the night on Hannover and Frankfurt-am-Main and the raid on the French Channel coast was so heavy that Dover coast residents (said the bomb explosions sounded like a clap of thunder.

British Fleet Sent North

These attacks followed up an exceptionally severe bombing of Berlin Sunday morning. Helsinki dispatches claimed that the British have sent a large fleet into Arctic waters to aid the Russians in defense of Murmansk and possibly for offensive operations against the Finnish and Norwegian north coasts. In Vichy the Regime of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain appeared to be standing firm against German demands for rights to *“protect” French bases in North Africa, including Dakar. The hint of U. S. Secretary of State Sumner Welles that a break in relations would follow if France acceded to the demands was believed to be strengthening Petain’s stand.

Silk Factories.

By UNITED PRESS

The magnitude of the silk crisis became increasingly apparent today. : It isn't just a question of feminine appearance, it's also an industrial problem of major importance. The National Association of Hosjery Manufacturers, to illustrate the size of the problem in figures, disclosed that 21,291,488 dozen pairs of women’s hose were shipped during the first half of 1941, an increase in demand of 14.6 per cent over last year. : Under normal circumstances shipments during the second half would be even greater, what with the winter and Christmas shopping seasons coming on. Financial publications, more concerned by the industrial and employment ctors of the situation than by the “fashion crisis” involved, carried stories telling of yarn shortages, expected layoffs and search for substitutes.

Want More Substitutes

The silk shortage was already extending its effect among other yarns and fibers. The order of the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply setting aside 10 per cent of each rayon producer's output this month and next for the benefit of hosiery manufacturers was expected to aggravate what was called an “already tight rayon yarn situation.” Ear] Constantine, president of the NAHM, said that the “most immediate” need was for substitute yarns. The nylon industry is making

caused by the silk shortage, during the first half of the year it accounted for only 3,453,011 dozen pairs of the total hosiery shipments. Nylon hose shipments for June, however, reached a top of 701,000 dozen pairs, 21 per cent of mill deliveries for that month. Additional mil] closings were reported.
