A—12 HOUSE CONSIDERS LENGTHY RECESS Two-Week Rest Period May Be Taken as Senate Argues Court Bill. B tha Associated Press. Speaker Bankhead said yesterday “exploratory” plans were afoot to permit the House to recess indefinitely 1f the Senate settled down for a pro- tracted filibuster against the Su- preme Court reorganization plan. Possibility of an agreement under which the House would transact no business for perhaps a two - week period arose Friday when Majority Leader Rayburn told the House he had been discussing three-day re- cesses with Bankhead and Minority Leader Snell. “The Speaker made it plain yester- day, moreover, that more extended Yecesses were being considered. Under the rules, neither House nor Benate may recess for more than three = consecutive legislative days without the tonsent of the other, but | Bankhead said a concurrent resolu- tion would be introduced to obtain that consent “if conditions warrant it The House is so well advanced with fts routine work, leaders said, it might be possible to start such a recess within 10 days or two weeks. If three-day recesses are decided upon, some members would have to be on hand for perfunctory sessions of the House every third day. Bank- head indicated he felt that might|. prove unduly discriminatory against himself and Rayburn. “If the rest of the boys are go- ing to be turned loose,” he said, “Sam and I want to be able to get away, too.” .

Action Pictures, ‘Those considering entering the con- fest are advised not to neglect action shots. Have you taken any? They may be made with any camera. That doesn’t mean that you ecan stop extreme actfn with a box camera or one with a slow lens and shutter, i the subject is whizzing directly by the camera lens. That's expect- ing too much. The amount of action you can arrest with any camera de- pends not only on the speed of the lens and shutter, but the angle from ‘which the picture is snapped. Take, for example, an automobile #oming down the highway at 40 miles an hour. As you watch it from the roadside, it doesn't seem to be going very fast until it gets directly op- posite you. Then, of course, you must turn your head quickly to fol- low it. In other words, it is easier to see & speeding object as it approaches you than it is during the instant it peasses by.

P. Wirephoto. your snapshooting, you will discover that even a box camera, which has| a shutter working at about 1-25 of | a second, will stop action if taken | from the proper distance and angle. And even if your camera has a| shutter operating at speeds much faster than 1-25 of a second, you will get more satisfying results by wofk- | ing at an angle. Remember, too, that the faster the shutter works the larger the lens aperture should be. Dark Background Advisable. Analyze your shots before you make them. Watch your backgrounds. Try to get a dark background for a light- colored subject. The resulting con- | trast helps to bring out the details of the action. Try anything once! But give your camera a chance and don't expect it to perform miracles. You must ob- serve the few simple fundamentals | of action photography. One of your | action shots may be chosen for entry | in the National Awards to compete | for the $10,000 cash awards. Start shooting today and enter as many| | pictures as you wish in the contest. | TO INDIANA AVENUE SITE, | Post Office Department Quarters Being Vacated Over Week | End by Agency.

His statement follows: Spain will be commemorated by the Embassy on July 17. The year that has passed has deep significance not only to Spaniards but to all those who have any interest in the pres- ervation of democracy. It is not only appropriate to pay homage to those victims who have fallen in their fight for the preservation of democ- racy but it is important also that clear-cut view of the issues now in- volved be consciously understood to avoid confusion.” .
