WENT TO BAT
ON LAW REPEAL
BY NEA Service

New York, Aug. 15.-What has
been described as the most dra-
matte picture of the war, showing
a group of German planes plung-
ing to earth in flames and smoke,
which was published exclusively
by Acme Newspictures' and NEA
Services client newspapers, and
appeared in yesterdays Waterbury
Democrat, was taken last week
on the south coast of England by
Herbert Andrews, a staff photog-
rapher Of Planet News, Acme's af-
filiated picture organization in
London. it was stated today by
Fred s. Ferguson, president Of
Acme.
The picture was published in
London exclusively by The Daily
Sketch, and inquiries were then
made of the Air Ministry as to the
origin of the picture as repre-
sentatives of other organizations
sought to obtain prints OF it for
their own distribution. Since the
picture was not issued by the Air
Ministry or the Bureau of Infor-
nation, as propaganda, the Air
Ministry issued a statement an
nouncing that it was not an off
cial" picture.
The Daily Sketch today pub
fishes an extended statement de-
Tending the picture and says, in
part, THE picture was justly de-
scribed as the most dramatic of
the war. and it is difficult to I'M
derstand why the Air Ministry
should have gone out of its way to
broadcast that the picture was not
official. No one suggested that 1t
was. The picture was simply the
reward of cameraman's enter
prise, initiative and energy"
The fact that the Air Ministry
announced that the picture was
not official does not warrant the
assumption evidenced in some
quarters that there is reason to
question its authenticity, Mr.. Fer
guson pointed out. In order to as
sure as good a transmission as
possible by cable, the original
print was retouched somewhat be-
fore filing, but both the un-re-
touched original print and the re-
touched print were passed by the
British censor before publication
in London and before transmis-
sion to New York.
The following statement from
Photographer Andrews was re-
ceived by cable in New York to-
day.

right down to the finish line, Jones
made a deal with him regarding
patronage under the new admins
tration: half the jobs would go to
the Jones people and half to the
Noe people.
This agreement is proving a
headache for both men now, and
inability to iron out some Of the
kinks is responsible for the adj
ministration's delay in filling the
jobs at its disposal.
Noe followers have been COM
planning that in the $3.50 job split
the good jobs are going to Jones
people and the poor ones to the
Noe crowd. Another complaint is
that in some parishes the Jones
leaders have simply ignored the
agreement.
Another complication comes in
because of the special arrange
ment that had to be made in New
Orleans. There the city organiza-
tion-the "old regulars" so-called
has made its peace with the
victors, and a three-way split Is
being worked out.
Noe has had to run up to Baton
Rouge for numerous patronage
conferences with the governor

ferences smiling; after the last
one, Noe came out happy and in.

trouble in keeping the agreement
But what happened to him imme-

tip-off on the kind of pressure
both men are under.

Noe went back to his suite in a
Baton Rouge hotel, and was i'm

officeseekers. Eight or 10 mer
swarmed into his inner room, wait
ing their turns to present theil
claims personally. A second room
was jammed to the boiling point
with hungry folk trying to get past
the inner door. And the corridor
leading to the suite was so full you
had to use your elbows to gel
through.
Noe saw all of them, eventually,
but it kept him busy. In the midst
of the swirl, which would have
driven an ordinary man frantic, he
turned to me, grinned, and cried
How'd you like to be politician?'
Later he remarked: 'T've got an
oil business up in Monroe, but the
Lord knows when I'll get up tx

All Of which is worth recount

something neither Noe nor Jones
can get away from. Noe can take
it; he is used to it, he enjoys peo-

buoyant kind who can stand any
thing. But Jones isn't used 10 it
