I) 0 yy Li By JOE IIOLWAGER Some people keep it a secret when they have gotten a bargain, but that is not the way with William H. Foley, Route 7, who told the readers of a national magazine of his good fortune in the latest edition of Modern Photography. Mr.

Foley, a computer progra-1 mer for Cummins Engine company, not only told of his own good fortune but also told readers of the magazine how they could purchase a $25 Chinese camera, which he refers to as a "godsend." The camera is a bellows-type folding model which uses 120 roll film It is perfect for Mr. Foley, who searched without success for such a camera on the American market. When not in use, it folds compactly and can be carried easily under the arm, suspended by a sling. Mr. Foley wrote of his purchase accomplished through a Hong Kong dealer in a letter published in the letters to the editor section of the August edition of Modern Photography.

Since publication of the edition about a week ago, he has received one telephone inquiry from a Texas man and a letter from a Minnesota man. Both wanted more information so that they could place orders of their own. The camera is not one that every photography enthusiast will want to buy. In fact, Mr. Foley readily admits that there are many "better" cameras available, but the catch is that they will cost more most of them far more than $25.

The camera is known as a Seagull 203 and an accompanying instruction booklet is written both in Chinese and English. The booklet cover bears the statement: "Made in the People's Republic of China." Modern Photography had featured the camera in an earlier edition, reporting then that it had a lens equal to the Zeiss Super Ikonta IV, of which the Seagull is a duplicate. Mr. Foley once owned a Super Ikonta IV and sold it a decision he later regretted. Although the magazine article gave little hope for purchasing Chinese cameras.

Mr. Foley decided to give it a try. As he explained in his letter, he got the name of a Hong Kong dealer and wrote him, learning in response that the camera was indeed available. The camera arrived three months after it was ordered, but part of the delay was due to the West Coast "dock workers strike. The foreign camera presented one minor problem because the distance readings on the focusing control were recorded in me ters, rather than in feet, like on most cameras Still.

Mr. Foley commented: "I've been pretty happy in the performance of it lor a $25 camera." He now has shot approximately six rolls of black and white and five rolls of color film with it it kind ot Diows my mina. the local man said, referring to the low cost He figured the dealer in Hong Kong probably got the camera for as little as $15. the additional cost to the consumer was in the dealer mark-up, mailing costs, insurance and import duty. The camera has a F3.5 lens, shutter speeds of up to 1 -300th of a second, a shutter self-timer, electronic flash synchronization and other features common to similar models.

Also the 2'4-by-21 i-inch picture format can easily be changed by flipping two posts in the camera interior and converting the format to 2' j-by-2-inch and 16 exposures per film roll, rather than only 12. Photography is a hobby with Foley, but it is one that he is steadily becoming more serious about.

Tanaka will officially take office Thursday following his certification by the Diet (parliament). Under Japan's parliamentary system, delegates of the ruling party elect a party chief who automatically assumes the post of prime minister.

Tanaka was elected on the second ballot of a nationally televised special election called by the ruling Liberal Democratic party. He polled a majority of 282 votes with a total of 476 party delegates casting ballots. Tanaka beat former Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda in a runoff made necessary because none of the original four candidates got a majority on the first ballot. Fukuda had 190 votes. Tanaka recently introduced a radical plan to revamp Japan's industrial organization.

The plan would move heavy industry out of congested urban areas in an effort to reduce the nation's growing pollution. In foreign affairs, Tanaka advocates continued close ties with the United States while trying to bring normal relations' between Japan and China Tanaka, sometimes called a "computerized bulldozer'' because of his decisiveness and his adroitness in mathematics, was a loyal aide to Sato, who resigned June 17 after holding office for a record seven vears and eight months Rut Tanaka broke awav from the retiring premier when it became known that he was not Sato's choice as a successor Sato supported Fukuda. Tanaka bowed and raised his right hand in response to a great burst of applause when he was declared the winner. He went to the rostrum and sat next to Sato. "I assume my responsibility for dealing with many outstanding problems confronting us," Tanaka said in a short speech of acceptance.
