Washington, October 4--With constant warnings about propaganda influences, it is well to remember that much of the current debate in the . Senate over neutrality matters is calj culated to-«wsy public opinion rather -j than Senate votes. The oratory and . monotonous commentaries before the eralleries lacks the persuasiveness of back-stage manipulations. On rare occasions information brought out in debate Is responsible for floor amendments. The major deals on votes are made elsewhere. The many delicate international and domestic issues in- , '^IvrrJ in the neutrality measure is likely to keep the average Senator. ^ in his seat as a precautionary measure for his political future. .j .. The controversy raging around neu trality matters and wartime policial! 'j-of this country are traceable in man# ' *•' *'*instances to political considerations, ilt is perhaps unfortunate that pol|v ] tics should creep into the picture. The subject is so close to the everyday <- thinking of many citizens that aft questions of a public nature are sooner or later tinged with political hues. Many Roosevelt critics are perfectly! honest in their concern that these in?( : temational crises will serve as, ft spring-board for .third-term ambitions.7 Cold-blooded campaigners in the realrjfc of politics are skeptical as to the sug^ gested harmony on grave national problems which would immediately flow from such a declaration. Theifi skepticism is predicated on the assumption that the sumerous President tlal candidate, released from this un?» certainty, might endeavor to turn the crises into a political football rather' than accord it the non-partisan at tention it deserves. Here are a few additional samples of politics and American neutrality matters. Chairman John Hamilton of th? Republican • National Committed; has stated that there will be no mora* torium on politics. He argues that Mr. Ro<i evelt and his followers arfe asking the opposition to call a hali ° while engaging in similar practices witfcka free hand. Chairman Martin; . Dies^f the House Committee Investigating Un-American Activities has scared the political backers of many government employees. He wants the Federal agenciete to immediately diai-: charge 2.000 men and wofnen who are listed as Communists. The "Brains-Trusters" among the New Deal forces are disgruntled over thefinflux of business men into the FetW eral service a« advisors in an emergency because it apparently makes them take a back-seat. This left-wing brigade of counsellors has always been particularly obnoxious to the legislative branch. It is reasonable to believe that their reported interference with national defease plans will give the Congressional axe-man a fine chance to collect scalps. The disbandment of the War Resources Board allegedly as a White House move to keep the leftists pacified about the inroads of cor.serva. tive business men into the government service may be remembered by Congress in drafting legislation in event • war is declared. The mobilization of industry bills, which have been drafted and vevised frequently since 1920, contemplate bestowing enormous powers on the Provident. A minority report signed by two Democrats and a Farmer-Laborite about a year ago protesting the favorable House Military Affairs Committee report to the House on a national defense and mobilization bill complained the bill would set up "a dictatorship unequaled in the history of the world" and they claimed, "empower the President to do whatever he please when war is declared.' The argument is advanced that the leftists having their sweet way in ----forcing the disbandment of the War Resources Board could impose controls ov r business in wartime which might not be opposed effectively in times of stress. The status of the Board at present ,is solely that of an advisory nature and its true powers would not be exr ercised until war is declared. It has devoted its time largely to review of, Army and Navy plans for mobilirftion built under the Army and Navy Munitions Board, a continuing body far removed from politics. The prevailing story that the ardent New Dealers objected to inclusion of na-! tiontlly known business men or scien-.. -tis&r on this agency has aroused .Congressional thought about extension of Presidential powers. Legislators be- - ing close to thr> neople, realize the folly of permitting Administration advisers to make a man's worth in an emergency contingent upon hie 'politl-l cal or economic views. Hence, the growing demand for curbing the power of the leftists around the White House council fires as a price for Congressional, approval of emergency legisla' tion. Business---iy-ms having customed overseas now find themselves confronted with war problems. The British and other governments have issfiued a number of regulations listing articles which will be admitted with and without licenses. American shippers are put to considerable trouble to obtain the licenses, to arrange cargo space at greatly advanced rates and then have the worry about fluctuation- in exchange rates and the traiw. fer of funds. The State and Commerce Departments are flooded with inquiries about embargoes and other obstacles to the -free rhovenjent of "commerce. • ' •-r.r~ DISS © NEWS' PHEM :- america proclaims rrs NEUTRALity.

Silhouette snapshot, taken with av; {behind subject. Note that the profile view adds effectiveness to this picture. HAVE you shot any silhouette pictures? These are easy to take, indoors or out, and they have unusually interesting decorative quality. The best time for outdoor silhouettes is late afternoon, when the _ sun is Quite low In the sky. Place your subject on a small ridge or elevation, squarely between the sun and th9 camera. This is important-- let the subject shield the camera. from direct sun rays. Now, make a snapshot exposure, if using a box camera. With a fast-lens camera, give an exposure of 1/25 second at f/16. 'In taking these, and other silhouette shots, pose your subject in profile--not facing toward or away from the camera, but sidewise to it This yields the, most effective sil- " liouette outline. You can take good indoor silhouettes of a person in the daytime. Pose your subject, in proflle, at a window whfehi looks out upon a brilliantly-lighted outdoor scene, -or faces the clear sky. Then make either a snapshot exposure, or a very short time exposure with a very small lens opening. To take silhouettes at night indoors, stretch a white bedsheet smoothly across a doorway, flood* light it brightly from behind, an! pose the subject about two feet la front of it for the picture. Load the camera with high speed film, at course; and for box-camera shots, use two amateur flood bulba in c a r d b o a r d r e f l e c t o r s a b o u t f l v « I feet behind the sheet. As a quick alternative method, dl> * rect the light of a flood bulb towarft' a white or pale-tinted wall, to creat*^~ a "bright spot." Then pose your su|f~ ject squarely between the flood bull and the camera. This arrangement Is especially good for Informal si|* houette portraits. With high speed film, and one large bulb about two*',- feet from the wall, you can talari box-camera snapshots. Use a reflee-_ tor with the bulb, to concentrate the . " light on the wall. ~ :• * When you leave your silhouet# -^ - : fliiii with a photo-finisher, attach a / note, "Please print for silhouette / effect." Then he will know just what ( you wish. ^ Try silhouettes--all the dlffere*F~- .* types described. They're fun, axil' add novelty to your picture collection. ;; 1 John van Guilder Walkington Mr. and "Mrs. R. E. ('rank of Rogers Park spent Sunday in the R. E. Harrison home. M*3.
