Storm" Politics in Jersey
By Robert r. Taylor.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 23.-It took
a hurricane to pep up the New
Jersey political scene this week.
Representative Wene of Vineland,
the Democratic candidate for United
States Senator-who apparently had
been SO busy previously in Washing
ton that the voters outside his home
district had heard little from him
was heard widely when he hit at the
Republican leadership for trying to
make political capital out of the
misfortunes Of thousands of people"
affected by the storm. The hurri-
cane struck scores of communities
on the New Jersey seacoast with
such violence that the damage to
public and private property ran into
millions Of dollars. When the
stricken shore towns began to ask
Uncle Sam for money grants, Re-
publican Governor Edge sent an
emissary to the Capitol and Repub-
lican Representative Auchincloss in
troduced a bill to appropriate
$40 ,000, 900 to aid the municipalities.
Meantime, there had been some
sober thought in the State, and
there arose speculation about the
propriety Of giving Federal money to
shore resorts for miscellaneous re-
pairs when private owners of prop
erty-both on the coast and inland
could receive no such aid.
Thus Wene's words did not fall on
deaf ears. The Republicans quickly
announced that only loans to the
damaged communities could be ex-
pected from Uncle Sam, and followed
this by sending State highway
workers to clear sand-filled streets
and sand-clogged structures at the
shore.
Wene, however, linked his attack
on the Republicans with a list of
five things he had done to aid the
stricken area. and the State discov-
cred, with some surprise-since the
Republicans hadn't mentioned the
idea-that he had gotten the Fed
eral Works Agency to agree to sur
vey the damage so that money from
the Presidents emergency fund
might be allocated.
Wene made it plain that his
money would be for roads, water
ways and other definite public
works.

Phof0graphic Salon

The National Photographic Society
OF Washington, D. c.. is holding its
third annual salon in the foyer of
the National Museum, to remain
through September 80. Nearly 100
prints are on view, covering a wide
range Of subject matter. as is Gus
tomary with shows of photographs.
A comparatively small proportion of
the membership of more than 100
persons Is represented, as many
members are in the services.
The mechanical character of the
Photographic medium enables a
larger proportion of its exponents
to become competent technicians
than does any other art medium
Consequently, while photographers
themselves may look first for tech
nical skill In each others prints, the
layman can discount this factor
For all of the photographs now
hanging in the salon are good prints
Most of them doubtless appear Won
derful to amateur wielders of small
cameras.

Keystone Soldier Vote Vital

ident Roosevelt once carried it by
663 900 votes, both parties are vitally

of the GOP-controlled Legislature
by passing what has been termed
the most liberal military ballot law
in the country.
This act makes it possible for
every eligible Pennsylvania in the

No previous war in the history Of
the world has been so extensively
documented by artists as the present
war. This must be the conviction
Of every one who has seen the un-
broken succession Of exhibitions by
artists in various branches of the
armed forces. which began before
Pearl Harbor. and continues with
increasing momentum.
The United States Coast Guard
is responsible for the latest display
of work by service artists, which
opened last Sunday at the National
Gallery of Art. About SO paintings
and drawings have been hung in the
smaller of the two special exhibi-
ton galleries on the first floor, the
larger being occupied by Paintings
Of Naval Medicine" Both remain
to October 8.
Fourteen combat artists are repre-
sented, who accompanied Coast
Guardsmen on the ocean lanes and
invasion fronts, and have been in
volved in every important invasion: ::
Guadalcanal, North Africa, Sicily,
Salerno, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Entiwi-
tok, Saipan and more recently, at
Guam. Normandy and Southern
France.
Although these men were profess
sional artists in civilian life, they
are primarily fighting men in the
Coast Guard, who perform their
regular duties, and paint or draw
during intervals of leisure. Making
their sketches from first hand ex-
periences and contacts, they achieve
accuracy in details and atmosphere,
which gives their pictures authen-
ITCHY as records.
Lively Transcribfons ....
The public will find many of them
lively transcriptions Of aspects OF
the vital role the United States
Coast Guard has played in Offensive
action against the enemy on al
fronts. Furthermore, these pictures
are naturalistic or conservative
work, and hence completely in
telligible to any spectator. Endless
arguments could be started, and
explanations offered as to why
nearly all the work of artists in the
armed forces is CT this character.
Presumably an artist needs quiet,
solitude and plenty of time to SUBJ
merge himself in subject. in order
to produce an abstraction of it.
These Coast Guard artists were in
the thick of things; when they had
few moments to put their observa-
tions on paper, they drew or painted
their subjects as realistically as they
were able to do. Yet each artist has
an individual style. If one studies
the works on view, one can recog-
nize easily the differences in han
ding between the various artists

Convincing Nafnralness

One feels as though one were look
ing over the shoulder of Ken Riley,
when he participated in the inva-
sions at Tarawa and Saipan, and
filled his sketch-book with action
and sidelights. Some of his pictures
are faily elaborate pen or pencil
drawings, touched with delicate
color; others are rapid sketches in
ink and rich brown wash. But all
capture young American fighters in
action or at rest, with convincing
naturalness.
For instance. the postures of SOL
diers resting in the meager shade
Of wrecked Jap scouting plane on
Ebeye Island are so easy and un-
self conscious, one feels the artist
must have made himself invisible
while he drew them. His other
paintings and drawings also give
this impression of having been un-
posed. Ken Riley is q specialist,

The text of his statement follows:
For four long years the Neither

long years its liberties have been
crushed, its homes destroyed, its
people enslaved. But the spark of

ROME, Sept. l8.-Powerful as
sAults by the 5th and 9th Armies
against German lines in Northern
Italy made scant progress yesterday
and fierce fighting continues along
a broad front, Allied headquarters
announced today.
On the Adriatic coast, Canadian
and Greek troops fought forward a
few hundred yards to the north
western corner of Rimini Airfield,
scarcely 2 miles from the southern
limits Of Rimini.
On their left bloody battle was
being waged for the village of San

rounding high ground dominating
the airfleld from the west. German
parachutists, strongly supported by
Tiger tanks, contested every British
assault.
The 9th Army bridgehead over
the Marano River, headquarters
said, has been widened from 61s to
miles.
A report from Allied headquarters
praised the Brazilian expeditionary
force which has gone into action
with the 5th Army.
During their first day of battle
the Brazilian expeditionary force,
although it has not met the resist
ance encountered along the eastern
and central 5th Army front, already
has demonstrated considerable ag-
gressive ability and has advanced
more than a mile to take a town."
the report said.
American and British units of the
5th Army doggedly hammering the
heart of the Gothic Line repulsed
a number of strong German coun-
ter attacks yesterday and inflicted
heavy casualties.
There is no indication along the
5th Army front that the enemy in
tends to withdraw or surrender" an
Allied spokesman said. Reports
from prisoners lead to the conclusion
that the Germans expect to hold the
Gothic Line at all costs. Para
