Indeed, many enthusiastic amateurs And that this is the most xestful aspect of their camera hobby. To picture real action, you need a camera with a speedy shatter, 'and a correspondingly fast lens. With modern high speed films, the fast lens is not as necessary as it used to be--but a fast shutter, with speeds of 1/300, 1/400, or 1/500 second, will always be a necessity if you specialise in this type of picture taking. • On the other hand, if yon Just take action shots now and then, and don't hare a camera with an extremely high-speed shutter, there are certain tricks you can use . . . and these will often help you get sharp action pictures, evea though you are handicapped by a slo# shutter. For example, look ftt the picture above. The action is almost "broadside" to the camera, or at a right angle to it. Naturally, from this angle, the motion. Is greatest, and a OtlSi KX ond is needed. But if you stood quite near the track, farther up, so that the horse was coming almost directly toward you, the motion would appear less rapid. From that angle, a shutter speed of 1/20# would yield a reasonably sharp pio* ture, if you caught the horse at the peak of the jump. Remember that rule: when tha action is coming toward you, motion is less, and a slower shutter will serve. By proper choice of position, therefore, you can overcome your handicap in many cases, and improve your percentage of successful pictures. „ Here is another hint! In many games and sports, there are momentary pauses. • player will halt to turn--yet still retain a good action pose for a split second. In these pauses, if you're alert, you cab capture many a fine action shot So even if you have a slow cam* era, (ren t be discouraged. A muudl with fast shutter is best, but that will come in time . . . and meanwhile, if you're alert and seize your opportunities, you can garner plenty at wor^h-while action pictures. . J«bn van Oaildar •; A Washington, May 15 -- Intensified warfare in Europe has produced political and economic repercussions here which have been feared or wishfully discounted for many months. An unmistakable foreign flavor growing stronger hourly appears in all public and private talking and thinking of officialdom. The apparent program of drifting along on foreign affairs until the November elections has been suddenly checked by overseas developments. Already suggestions are afloat far a special session of Congress, presumably in August when the two nominating conventions have been held contingent; of course, on a situation broadly classified as "emergency." Well-informed observers feel that an extra session after th? elections is inevitable assurnir-c it can frs pat off that, length of time. From a political viewpoint international complications are considered a key to the third term issue. Difficulties in writing party platforms in the face of constantly changing war problems are generally recognized. In this respect the Democrats holding their convention three weeks after the Republicans have the advantage of the time element in platform building and as to candidates. The Democratic chieftains have not been asleep at the switch as international questions are highlighted. They are doing their utmost to make political capital as ominous clouds of war spread across our horizons. Public attention is now riveted upon the sayings and doings of two leading contenders for the party's Presidential nomination, Mr Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The G. O. P. is greatly handicapped in this bid for popular favor because their specialists in foreign affairs do not have the opportunities for publicity which come in connection with the official duties of the incumbents. The Congress, which has been lavish with appropriations for many new Federal alphabetical agencies, has been notoriously niggardly with national defense arms of the government. They pruned estimates of military and naval men for placing our defense forces on an effective basis. Lately the public realizing the fate of neutral nations has indicated in correspondence with lawmakers a real concern over what this country should really do with invaders of our island possessions or in the continental United States. As a consequence, it has stimulated attention into armament matters. The feeling is that the time is too short before the party conventions to concentrate on this vital subject. Hence, these reports of special sessions to consider not only armament but neutrality questions as well. Reliable polls have demonstrated sentiment for the Allies, but not the point of direct involvement in war. The argument is made that the best co-operation short of direct" participation with armed forces is to repeal the Johnson Act, which prohibits loans to belligerent nations and the neutrality act of 1939, which extended the neutrality laws. The legislators, if free to consult their own wishes, would prefer to postpone legislation of this sort until mid-November when the elections will be out of the way. A Congressional session in August and continued into the early fall would keep the solons on the job ana away from their home district where their presence is necessary for cam paign purposes. The President's speech on Friday has provoked concern among the professional politicos. The orders keeping the Pacific fleet in Hawaii is expected to exercise a moral influence on any Japanese aggression in the Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands island possessions in the West Indies have awakened interest in the Monroe Doctrine, which our country is pledge ed to preserve preventing foreign countries from lodging on Pan-American shores. Besides, these Dutch isles are of immense importance to the Panama canal defenses. American industry will suffer temporarily at least from the loss of Belgian and Netherlands markets through the current invasion and the official U.S. action freezing credits of these nations. Somehow these war alarms have subordinated heretofore highly controversial dom* estic issues. This week the Senate is going through a parliamentary battle. As device to block the Walter-Logan administrative reform bill, powerful opponents have urged a vote on the LaFollette civil liberties bill, which is sweeping in its provisions. Ostens ibly designed to check industrial es» pionage against trade union organs izers, the measure proposes to utilize: the resources of the Federal govern ment to prevent employers from ret eisting attempts to unionize theiif plants and shops. In the meantime, it is reported that John L. Lewis is calling attention of legislators to hia, enormous "war" chest, which he may use during the next elections. It in said that the C. I. O. chieftain will concentrate on support of pro-C. I. O candidates for the House and Senate! rather than bother about another Presidential race. Mr. Lewis is sour on both parties though he means to have something to say in the forth-: t coming balloting in which candidates; k for ' Congressional office will, fee pledged on the C. 1.0. program.
