They have a first-rate problem of determining policies based on the President's wishes and their ability to sell a program to a turbulent legislative body.

SNAPSHOT GUIL TRAVEL INTO FAIRYLAND % Hsvs a heart-to-hsart talk with yourself I Double exposure, accurately planned, will let you. finder. Arrange the light so the feet are not too brightly illuminated. This will help eliminate evidence of slight errors in the position of the subject. 8nap the shutter a second time and the final picture is made. When the picture is developed, presto!--there are the little man and the big one, facing each other on the same film. Tou will probably make mistakes in placement on your first tries, because the view finder is small, hut this is part of the fun of trying trick photography -- and some of your errors may give a funnier picture than the one you carefully planned. It is well to remember that only the figures in these shots, can be lighted--if Burro »dlng object* show up, they will sp*>il the picture. If your camera has an "open" dl> rect view finder, without glass, it la best not to try this sort of work. If, however, you have a camera with ground glass back, you can place figures wih greater accuracy. With this technique, you can make a fairy dance on the table in front of you--the fairy being your small daughter in her ballet dress. If you want to make the little figures transparent, shorten exposure a little. You can, if you like, do costume work, illustrating,the fairy tales you enjoyed as a child. Try Jack and the Beanstalk, with an intrepid small boy eluding the grasp of a fierce ogre. Or get an old liiking brogaA and a copy of Mother Goose and picture the Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe. John^van Guilder DO you remember the wonder tales you read when a child, the forbidding castles filled with ogres, the huge jinn of the Arabian Nights, the trolls that lived under bridges and the fairies that haunted mysterious woodlands? Tou can use your camera to recreate those childhood memories. Tou can make giants walk through your pictures. Tou can hold yourself, or a tiny version of yourself, in the hollow of your own hand. Tou can pose in intimate conversstion with the Irish "wee people," the elves and fairies and the cobbling leprechaun. It's not hard. The method is to use our old friend, the double exposure-- two shots on the same film. All that is necessary is accurate posing and careful control of the light. A black background is necessary or you can pose your subject before the door of a dark room. (Note the picture above. Although It was made with a camera having a ground glass for focusing, which simplifies making such pictures, you can get the samd effect with your own small camera. First, pose the subject fairly close to the camera, with his empty hand extended. Snap the picture and. maik the position of the hand on the glass view finder, very carefully, with a tiny dot of ink. Now, without winding the film, move the camera b§ck several feet, so the subject appears small iq, the viaw finder. Let him stand, facing his former position, so that his feet appear right on the ink dot in the gathering votes for various projects now before the Congress. Preliminary reports indicate stormy seas ahead with skirmishes due any day over issues not included in the President's list of chores for the special meeting. The war in the Far East and rumblings in Europe have provoked peace organizations to a fervor, which prompts them to demand a tightening of the neutrality laws before international politics forces the statesmen here to determine the nation's position. Those who have charge of our foreign relations have indicated a preference for postponing consideration of neutrality matters until January on the ground that domestic matters should be handled first so that more time may be given to overseas policies.. The agitators, militarists and pacifists, may arrange a show of hands in political circles soon. Naturally, there is much loose talk this week about rushing this and that pet measure through the mill. The facts are that the leaders are baffled at the outset because returning members are preaching a doctrine of modification in proposals authorizing extension of Federa| power to regulate business, agriculture and social welfare matters. The trend is reflected within the Administration ranks. The wage and hour bill now halted in the powerful House Rules Committee seems destined for a complete overhauling if and when a satisfactory armistice is arranged between contending factions. The Senate may have a new farm bill within a few days, but the House Agriculture Committee showns no signs of haste in the matter. The solons are awaiting pronouncements from several national farm organizations which are in session during the month or early in December. Government agencies affected by the proposed reorganization bill will probably do more to wreck the prospects of this scheme than the combined work of outside interests. The airy promises of the Secretary of the Treasury for a balanced budget while encouraging to taxpayers is taken with a grain of saltj. The demands of heavy spending advocates now in government jobs together with the need of Federal-financed projects in certain Congressional districts as the primaries approach may complicate Mr. Morganthau's high hopes of a budget on even keel. A number of political factors jeopardise this laudable scheme for economy in government. Congressional committees are laboring on tax plans, but sentiment favors a delay until the regular session. Hie movement from the American Federation of Labor to abrogate the National Labor Relations Act, which it sponsored two years ago, is worrying the politicos. The A. F. of L. feels that the child of its creation is entirely too partial to its rival, the C. I. O., and wants the law wiped off the books.
