Once the staid recorders of fires, parades, baby-shows and ship launchings, newsreel photographers are now famed for the risks they take. Three weeks before his death, Newsreeler Traub went down in the submarine 54. In a bathing suit, with water up to his neck, with his camera mounted near the engineroom ceiling, he photographed the crew escaping one by one with "artificial lungs" (TIME Feb. 18).

On July 3, 1926--less than ten days thereafter--the first session adjourned sine die. The President did not sign the bill, nor did he return it to Congress with his objections. Did the bill become a law? No, held the Court of Claims. Yes, contended counsel for the Indians, who appeal to the Supreme Court...
