T. INVENTOR OF CINERAMA Ex Huntington, 19 Fred Waller, inventor of Cinerama and chairman of the board of died yesterday in his home on Southdown Ave.

He was 68. Illness prevented the inventor from going to the Pacific Coast in March to accept one of Hollywood's "Oscar" awards for the technical process developed to bring out three-dimensional screen pictures. Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Waller attended Brooklyn technic Institute and learned photography in the studio of his father, one of the city's pioneer commercial photographers. He entered the motion picture field in 1905 as a lobby display creator.

Title Illustrator Some years later he opened one of the first photo illustratstoudios in New York, and then branched into devolping photographic title illustrations for the silent movies. Mr. Waller became associated with the photographic staff of Paramount Studios in 1925, and when the company closed its eastern studio, he went into the boat business. While in that field he invented a special type of water skis. Some years later Mr.

Wallerlof rejoined Paramount, where he than 200 one-reel subjects. produced and directed, more In 1937 he produced the "Hall of Color" show, but this was considered too radical at the time for entertainment. However, it was the forerunner of Cinerama. Gunnery Device Mr. Waller was the inventor of the Waller gunnery trainer used in this country and by Great Britain in World War II.

This device, which used films projected inside a sphere aeri- to simulate combat for Navy al gunners in training, is officials credited by Government with averting some 350,000 casualties in training and combat. After the war Mr. Waller opened a small laboratory in Huntington and there developed analyzing apparatus for the Air Force. He started to build the present demonstration apparatus of Cinerama in 1946 at a studio in Oyster Bay. His initial Cinerama film, completed in 1948, was first shown to the public on Oct.

1, 1952. Surviving are his wife. Mrs. Doris Barber Caron Waller; a son and daughter, Stuart and Muriel, by his first marriage, and a stepson, John P. Caron Syosset.

Gen. Kester L. Hastings, the Quartermaster General, Under Secretary of the Army John Slezak Deputy Under Secretary Frank H. Higgins. Representative Abraham J.

Multer of Brooklyn explained the "bad faith" statement by charging that Army brass had promised, after a preliminary meeting weeks ago, to consult with the solons. again before making a definite decision. Instead, Multer said, the decision was made last Thursday and was announced Friday. He said yesterday's meeting started out with the intent of being a recital of a "press release" detailing the "fait accompli." "We charged," Multer said, "that this was not an economy move, but a political move more for the sole benefit of Representative Hugh. Scott, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, who has boasted of the fact that he is going to move this installation to Philadelphia." The solons got their dander up when the Army officials reportedly insisted that not only had the decision been made but that they did not concern themselves with the overall economic conditions in the area.

Human Factor Seen Ignored The meeting became acrimonious when the Congressmen said they just wouldn't take "no" for an answer. The Army officials were reminded that it was the policy of the previous National Administration "to take in the human and economic factors" in these matters, and that this projected shift would "disrupt families," according to Representative John J. Rooney, also of Brooklyn. Rooney also flayed the Army officials for failing to consider economic factors, recalling that a similar "Irrevocable" decision had been announced years ago which would have barred erection of Fort Hamilton Hospital. At that time the Brooklyn Congressmen stubbornly stuck to their guns and finally won the battle for the hospital, which today services ailing Brooklyn veterans.

Stanchly upheld by Representatives Edna F. Kelly and Eugene J. Keogh, as well as the other local Democratic lawmakers, Representative Celler said: "New York has suffered much recently. We have lost the Voice of America to Washington and the Signal Corps to Philadelphia, as well as the Naval Clothing Depot in Brooklyn, which has been closed up. Besides, we have lost many naval refurbishing Jobs, at.

the other Brooklyn ports. It Navy is time to call a halt." At the same time a Brooklyn Republican, Representative Francis E. Dorn, was furthering plans at a different session with his party colleagues, Representative John H. Ray and U. S.

Senator Irving M. Ives, to have the Quartermaster Purchasing Agency moved to the site of the present Naval Supply Activity at 3d Ave. and 29th Brooklyn. Dorn hopefully envisions this concentration in Brooklyn as the Navy's fourth great global supply center. There are only three such centers at Pearl Harbor, Norfolk, and Oakland, Cal.

Episcopalians Hail Ban on School Bias Garden City, May 19 The 87th convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island has voted approval of the U. S. Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation in public schools and will press a fight of its own against racial discrimination. Delegates voted overwhelmingly in favor of taking up the challenge presented by an tation to the church as a whole to hold its next triennial convention in Houston, Texas, 'next year.

The large majority of delegates declared that by holding sessions in the southern city the church could "bear clear witness" to its principles of non -discrimination. There was some debate, including expressions of fear that segregation embarrass Negro' delegates." Urges Bold But most delegates stood and cheered when the Rev. Ebenezer of the Church of the Resurrection, Elmhurst, a Negro, declared' the church "should not run away from manifesting the spirit of God in Texas." The Rev. John M. Coleman of Brooklyn, member of the Board of Education and also a Negro, likewise expressed approval of holding the convention in Houston, terming the issue a matter "of conscience." There were only two or three "nos" when the vote was taken among the 1,000 clergy and lay delegates.

Bishop James P. DeWolfe, head of the diocese, said in his address to' the meeting that the church is "impelled" to parinvi-ticipate in national and international politics. "Segregation, discrimination, exploitation, enslavement, genocide and whatever else withholds the abundant life from the peoples of the world must meet with the sustained resistance of the church militant," he declared. Bishop DeWolfe awarded Distinguished Service Crosses of the diocese to six persons, including Dr. Adele Streeseman, psychiatrist, and Dr.

Merrill M. Foote, surgeon, both of St. John's Episcopal Hospital, Brooklyn. Bishop DeWolfe named a special labor management commission, including Brooklyn Borough President John Cashmore, the Rev. A.

The candidate, former cabinet Minister Huh Chung, charged in the handbills that government-inspired police and hoodlums murdered his campaign manager, and that he himself had been beaten because of election statements. An estimated 8,000,000 South Koreans will vote Friday to select 203 representatives.

Christian De Castries' main command post. On the first night she found a camp bed neatly made up by Mohamed, De Castries' orderly, with silk sheets he had salvaged from parachutes.

Three days before the fall of Dien Bien Phu, while bombs and shells fell on the command post, De Castries announced to her that she had been made a member of the Legion of Honor. Two days later, he called her in again and gave her the military medal, a decoration seldom accorded a woman. During the last desperate hours, Genevieve moved quietly through darkened, stenchfilled wards, comforting the wounded and trying to ease the anguish of their body and mind. Genevieve knew "how to smile at a man and ease his pain," a corporal said. Then the Red rebels started pouring into the hospital and Genevieve was captured with the rest of the staff.
