Brandt Tells Story
Shot Way Through School
'I shot my way through school. That's how I became interested in Acme Newspictures," said Bert Brandt, former University student and manager of the Kansas City, Mo. bureau of Acme News pictures.
Brandt spoke to journalism classes today on the part pictures play in the day's news and demonstrated the transmission of pictures.
Names Chief Headache
The speaker remarked that his chief headache is telephone operators who have never heard of pictures being transmitted by wire. A straight uninterrupted line is necessary in order to send a picture over the "bug" transmitter.
A four by five print is attached to a drum which revolves at the speed of 100 revolutions per minute, and moves over threads 2-100 per revolution. A small light transverses the drum while it is revolving and sends the reflection over the wire to the receiving set on the other end of the wire.
Must Have Harmony
Brandt said that it was necessary that the two drums be in perfect harmony and tune. If the line is clear, the transmitter then sends the picture which is recorded on a negative film in the nome office.
One of the most valuable sources of pictures to the news services is respondents. A news service may
have a person acting as correspondent who is also correspondent for three other news agencies. This complicates the situation when something big breaks.
"One of the easiest ways of getting shots and good ones is through the publicity men of the studios in Hollywood, Culver City," said Brandt. "These pictures are usually publicity pictures in which the public is interested."
SEATTLE, Wash.—(UP)—The girls of Franklin high school in Seattle are getting their shoes this year at a cost of less than $2 a pair. They make the shoes themselves—with the aid of boys in the manual training shop.

Most unusual of requests made to Wright in the past few days was the inquiry of an enterprising working student who wondered whether or not it would be all right to set up a concession stand to sell dandelion diggers at 25 cents each.
PRIZE LIST—
Lawrence Sanitary Creamery. This prize will be awarded the winning team members at the same time the King and Queen are crowned and the theater tickets presented.
DUMP HITLERITES— Belgrade regarding the coup and no
indirect word as to the plans of Jugoslavia's new rulers. Thus, it could not be said flatly that they would throw the Axis pact into discard.
But the character of the men who assumed power—representing the elements in Jugoslavia which had protested alignment with Germany most bitterly—the shocked,reticent attitude in Berlin and the gleeful words of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, left small doubt as to the outcome.
