New York, March 27.—A check for a round million dollars was shoved across the polished table of a hotel sitting room today into the hand of a young Russian Socialist who in his days of hunger and hardship had in vented an automatic camera to enable the public to photograph itself as sim ply as it buys its chewing gum, am: in much the same way. And the Russian, remembering his Socialistic doctrines despite his sud den transition into the capitalistic class, immediately laid plans for shar ing his money with the less 'Tortu- nate. Transfer of the check marked the entry into the slot machine portrait photograph business of several lead ers in the financial world, j’ Among the men represented in the Lrnasacton were Henry Morganthau, former ambassador to Turkey; James G.
