New Camera Shutter Beats Speed of Light By Howard W. Blakeslee Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK, April 6WP)-A new camera shutter mat Deals tne speed of light was shown to the Society of Motion Picture Engin eers today. The shutter is smal lenough to The shutter is small enough to pocket-size camera. Point this camera directly at the sun, push a button that snaps the shutter, and you get no picture. Only a few feet of light gets through, even though the sunlight israveling 188.000 miles a second. The amount of light reaching the film is not enough to expose it, for even bright sunlight has to have a small fraction of time to pile up on a film. In the laboratory this shutter can operate faster than a flash of light travelling from he camera to a mirror 10 feet away and back. No light gets back before the shutter closes. Mirrors a few nches apart, one farther than the other from the camera, can be picked up one at a time by timing the return flash. Wartime Secret The shutter is still partly a war time secret. It was shown today by Dr. A. M. Zarem, director of the Stanford research foundation, Los Angeles. The shutter is a combination of liauid. a battery cell in the li quid, known as a Kerr cell, and polarizing lenses. The polarizing lenses do the opening and clos ing, but strangely enough do this while standing perfectly still. They ! are set in the position known to most persons who use polaroid glasses, where one in front of the) other shuts olf completely the pas sage of light. Impulse Flows When the button Is pressed an electrical impule flows through the shutter cell. This impulse does the same thing as rotating the po laroids so that light gets through. But only the molecules in the po laroid lenses move. They twist a bit and that lets the light through. They can twist and return to posi tion in practically nothing flat. The length of the electrical im pulse is the time the shutter is open. Dr. Zarem said this impulse can be as short as a hundred mil lionth of a second, or still less. Useful pictures have been taken at from one millionth of a second up to 20 times faster. The u&es so far are to se elec trical discharges in action. Measure Would Give Counties Control of Courthouse Parking A bill granting Marion county court authority to regulate "r re strict parking on the courthouse square is ready "for the legisNtive hopper. 5 Marion county Judge Grant Murphy said Wednesday afternoon a draft of the bill has been prepared and will be introduced by Sens.

The amount of the fine the courts but would be governed would be left to the discretion of by the law on misdemeanors. " "Thesheriff s office will be en forcement agency." said the judge.

M., April -P)-A story of gold bars "stacked like cordwood" in a lost cave spurred a treasure search near here today. The tale - - about a miner who stumbled on the cavern, found ft filled with metal ingots and gems, subsequently lost it attempting to blast a larger entrance and then was killed - - came to light with the College Area Businesses to Select Name Business - houses In the area centering on East State and sur rounding streets will be polled this week and next on their choice of a name for the area. ' A newly-formed business asso ciation for the district met last night at the Launderette and by their vote narrowed the field down to two choices. University district and University Shopping center were the two names preferred by the group. Merchants In that area which centers around 12th street will be polled by a committee from the association as to their preference of the two names. The vote on the names came last night after a lengthy discussion. Main purpose of the group ap peared to bo to choose a name by which that particular area could be identified and also to tag the association which does not hav an official name as yet. President Terry Randall presided at the meeting. United Nations Clashes Start LAKE SUCCESS.

The Hot Springs woman is directing the hunt. Of its prospects she said: "We should know the answer within a few days." Fatally Shot Mrs. Noss said her estranged husband, M. E. (Doc) Noss, con tinued a companion search until he was fatally shot March 5. His financial backer, Charles Ryan of Alice, Tex., has been charged with murder. Peace officers said the two argued before the shooting at nearby Hatch. Another party to the treasure hunt died violently just the day before. He was Curtis Noble, jr., of Edgewood, N. M., killed in a plane crash while trying to drop a note to a ground party. Permit to Prospect The search centers in a rugged San Andres mountain area, about 40 miles northeast of Hatch. Mrs. Noss' state permit to prospect there for another month was is sued yesterday. She told this "story -In answer to an Albuquerque Journal reporter's questions: Her husband stumbled upon the entrance to the cave during a 1937 deer hunt. It was a vertical hole with inscriptions, apparently Indian, carved in the walls. Noss descended several times. A bot tomless crevice and an under ground stream halted him twice, but one day he worked his way into a big cave. Many Bars Stacked "There were many, many bars stacked like cordwood, and Doc wondered what those people had wanted with 'all that pigiron - -the bars were black and he thought they were pigiron." . Although the bars weighed 45 to 70 pounds. Noss lugged one outside. "It was yellow under the black when we cut it with a knife," his wife related. She was not tjear about what became of the bary On other visits to the cave Noss I found jewels, a crown encrusted with dozens of diamonds and a "pigeon blood" ruby, . coins - and old weapons. Sealed Passare After laborious exploration, I Noss undertook to dynamite a wi der shaft into the cavern. A slide j sealed the passage. War interrupted his efforts to ' find a way back underground. and in the meantime he and Mrs. Noss separated. Later Noss inter ested Ryan in a mining venture. When the two sought a prospect ing permit in the locality, Mrs. Noss said they found she already had obtained one. Ryan and Noss then pursued their search over tracts bordering that of Mrs. Noss on three sides. At his arraignment on a murder charge last month, Ryan said he had objected to Noss' using trucks owned by Ryan for "illegal" activ ities. Heightening the mystery is th report from a secret service agent, Jim Hirst of Albuquerque, who obtained a metal bar from the ef fects of Noss after lie was slain. . The ingot "definitely is not gold." Hirst said, although it has not been analyzed yet. He said the bar is yellow and tarnished and apparently as hard as brass.
