Godfrey of the Army Engineers, has long been studying the problem of thwarting successful enemy interpretations of aerial photographs. Discussing the problem recently, hs aairl that thla Interpretation Vas now a far more accurate science than of old. "The work of stertscoplo pairs of aerial photographs, taken from; a great height with proper infra-reel filters, has developed greatly since the world war," he explained. "A fJew York newspaper has printed a photograph of the New York skyline taken from a point over Philadelphia. An airplane making such a photograph now can develop the film, print the result and drop tt At the proper headquarters without landing the plane." Mentioning the work of the Army's Engineer Board, he said it might ieek a green water paint chemically organized to photograph as it looks to the eye.

Also, he added, It might study "garnishing" materials that would best match adjacent leave and bushes when woven into chicken wire, i Ths enginesr force at work on the problem of camouflage Is comparatively small and it does not-attempt to do the detailed work of installing camouflage In the field.
