Capitol Memo Hatfield, Thornton Most Ardent Foes In State Politics Salem -IUPD- Probably the two most ardent foes in Ore gon state government today are Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield and Attorney Gene ral Robert Y. Thornton, a Democrat. Their relationship since 1958 is a chronicle of dissen-tion.-But there was a time when it was cordial. They first met in 1951 when both served in the Oregon House of Representatives. Lat er, as Secretary of State, Hat field called frequently on Thornton, by now Attorney General, for legal opinions. But their relationship changed abruptly in 1958 when Hatfield was elected Governor and named Howell Appling Jr. to succeed as Sec retary of State. Thornton ruled Hatfield couldn't do this, and the State Supreme Court upheld Hatfield. Hatfield hired his own legal counsel, Loren D. Hicks, and spurns Thornton's advice ex- TRY IT!

Thorn ton's opinions at meetings of me state Board of Control and the State Land Board, both headed by the governor. Hatfield's favorite descrip tion of Thornton is "incom petent.". Thornton sizes Hat field up as "ruthless," and during the recent campaign charged Hatfield with heading a smear project against Thorn ton's reelection. Thornton won a third term. , The feud doesn't seem to go on in private, however. Thornton telephoned Hatfield the day after ;the Nov. 8 elec tion to discuss a Bar Associa tion award and Hatfield con gratulated him on his elec tion. ' Thornton claims the trou ble is a "political position" on Hatfield's part and "en tirely uncalled for." "As state officials, we should be cooperating." They were back at it this week, Hatfield lashing Thorn ton for being late with legal opinions requested by the Land Board. Thornton, Hat field said, was too busy grab bing headlines in Washington, D.C., over the Regional Post Office case. . Thorton countered by label ing Hatfield's South American trip as a "safari" and added the governor should have been home tending to busi ness himself.

Enough returns have ac cumulated for a preliminary report on her achievements and failures. The project was an experi ment to try to find out how long it would take a 12-year- old beginner my daughter, Gay to take reasonably good pictures with a box camera, and to discover Just what sort of photos she would produce. She started by exposing two rolls of Kodacolor film, size 620, in a fairly simple camera, Kodak , Brownie Twin-20. After a guided tour through the camera instruction book let, and some dry run practice sessions on how to release the shutter without jiggling the camera, she was on her own. The results amazed me and delighted Gay. Exposures Good ' All 24 shots on the two rolls "turned out," that is, the exposure on each was reason ably good, each was printable, and the colors were good. The . surprising thing, though, was that five of the photos were well worth en Urging. The best of these was s Halloween still life that in cluded a big pumpkin, broom, a black mask, and Halloween party hat. The re sulting vividly colored com position made an excellent 11 by 11-inch enlargement (near ly the whole . area of the square negative was used.) A closeup of a vase of rose buds beside a portrait of Gay's sister enlarged beautifully to 11 by 14. At that size it was not perfectly sharp, because Gay had stood a little too close to her subject in making the snapshot, but the slight softeness of detail was pleas ing rather than objectionable. Good 8 by 10 color enlarge ments were made from Koda color negatives of a small vase of flowers reflected in a pol ished mahogany table; and in formal portraits of the little photographer's mother and father. Framing Failure Among the' pictures that were not so good, the chief fault was failure to frame the subject properly. What might have been an excellent shot of a Halloween party scare crow was spoiled because the camera was aimed a little too low, chopping off the scare crow's head. Photos of a vase of flowers and of a pet para keet in her cage had the same defect. Here are some of the'fac- Iceland became an inde pendent nation in 1944 when it severed its ties with Den mark.

I 4 PORTABLES BY I COLUMBIA bring you music for tors that contributed to Gay's initial successes, I think: She used a simple cam era, and carefully followed the directions for using it and the accessory closeup lens and flash attachment. -All the pictures were tak-. en with flash, which simpli fied the lighting problem. The 620 negative is big enough to allow considerable cropping, or trimming away of surplus pictures around the edges, so that even a small part of the original negative may be used to make a good sized enlargement. Rearranged Objects Gay took several shots of the subjects that interested her most.. For example, in making the Halloween still life she rearranged the .ob jects several times, and photo graphed them from varying angles and distances. This gave a better chance of get ting at least one good shot. 1 She experienced and used some imagination at least part of the time. , Gay still has a tremendous amount to learn, about pho tography, ' .of . course. . Color snapshots, with flashbulbs are relatively easy. She will find the going harder when, she tries color with natural light ing. And she will find that composition and subject mat ter become even more import ant in black and white plc; tures than in color. .- - But her enthusiasm after seeing her. first color prints should carry- her quite- a dis tance into -new fields,,. until she gains enough experience to carry her even farther.
