Southern Rebels
Face Court Test
By S. Raym ond Brooks.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 9.-Texas,
with % presidential elector votes,
furnished the spearhead of the anti
fourth term Southern revolt" when
anti Roosevelt Democrats by an un-
expected coup controlled the May
presidential State convention and
it now appears Texas nearly en-
compasses the reyolt strength and
with court tests about to challenge
its survival in the Lone Star State.
Fifteen of the % electors nominated
in May have declared they will not
vote for Roosevelt and their leaders
say the vote will be cast for Gov.
Byrd of Virginia obviously in the
hope of throwing the presidential
election into the National House.
Pro-Roosevelt Democrats appar-
emily will control the September II
State convention and have planned
a series of party and legal moves
probably to involve court proceed
ings to attempt to replace these IS
recalcitrants with electors pledged
to support party national nominees.
Gov. Coke Stevenson and State
Democratic Chairman George A.
Butler have recommended that dual
sets OF electors, including one ticket
OF those pledged to the nominees, be
printed both within the Democratic
column on the official election ballot
but pro- Roosevelt leaders announced
their purpose at the State conyen-
ton to attempt to cancel the Nav
nominations of the "uninstructedn
and replace these with pledged
elector nominees as a first move to
assure the usual Texas Democratic
majority will be reflected in a solid
ELECTORAL vote for the national party
ticket.
Six Approve Revolt.
Of Loulsiana's 10 electors only one
mas gone on record as refusing to
vote Tor Roosevelt and intending to
vote for Byrd, but five others have
expressed approval of the Southern
revolt plan, two are pledged def
nlteiy to the nominees. No separate
independent ticket is expected in
Louisiana and it appeared most of
the Louisiana electors plan to re-
main quiet, awaiting signals to be
called by former Gov. Sam Houston
N. Jones, recognized leader of
the present dominant State regime.
states Louisiana voters are expected
to go at least 10 per cent Democratic
with New Orleans more heavily
Democratic than the rest of the
State.
Mississippi's temporary revolt
affecting its nine electors apparently
subsided when Gov. Thomas L.
Bailey secured a definite commit
ment from the elector nominees
that they will vote for Roosevelt and
Truman. A move to call State
wide party meeting to name electors
favorable to Roosevelt was abon-
doned as unneeded after Gov. Bailey
announced the pledge of the present
slate. Democratic nominees will re-
ceive about 80 per cent of the Mis-
SlSSlppi general election votes

COP Safe in Dakotas
BY !. II. Masters.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. g.
Roosevelt, new dealism and a fourth
term already are editorial-provokine
issues in Minnesotas presidential
campaign, but in North Dakota it's
Senator Gerald P. Nye and the
light he faces in November that
grab the headlines.
Seeming lack of interest in the
Dewey-Roosevelt campaigns in both
North and South Dakota. political
seers agree, probably is due to the
general belief that Dewey might as
well consider those States in the
bag.
One thing is sure, there is a strong
labor vote Democrats can claim in
the Dakotas, and corralling the now
prosperous farmers in those nor
mally Republican States at this
point In the campaign is about as
difficult as lassoing a prairie coyote
AS far as Nye is concerned, the
North Dakota issue will not be a
campaign for some one or for some
cause, but just against Nye as it
was IN the primary" Nye will have
plenty of opposition In the primary
ne thought he got rid of Republican
Lynn Stambaugh, Fargo attorney
and former National Legion COM
mander. But Stambaugh, defeated
then by a 972-vote margin. has
bounced back into the campaign by
ming for the Senate as an inde-
pendent. Nyes other opponents will

dependent Bernard OLaughlin and

Burdick Seeks House Seat.
Representative Usher Burdick. who
trailed Nye and Stambaugh in the
senatorial primary vote and saws
he only ran then because the Nom
Partisan League drafted me for the
place" now seeks reelection as
Representative as an independent.
So the big political question marks
in North Dakota today are:
l. What senatorial candidate will
get more than $4,000 votes cast in
the primary for Burdick and the
hundreds of others he could have
counted on had heavy rains and
muddy roads not kept much of his
Farmers Union support away from
the polls then?
2. How strong candidate is
Moses with strong Scandinavian
following and good record as Gov
ernor?
In these two questions are hidden
the fate of Gerald P. Nye.

Bv ". A. MARYLAND.

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 9.-To-
days homecoming Of Thomas E.
Dewey, a native Of Owosso, Mich,
where his mother, Mrs. George M.
Dewey, still lives, brought Michigan
Republicans increasing confidence
in the outcome of the November
election. Dewey spent nearly seven
hours here today in a series
of conferences with party, labor
and agricultural leaders, and others.
In Owosso he was greeted by thou
sands of his former neighbors and
spent the night with his mother
before resuming his campaign trip.
Most observers, some of them
Democrats, are ready to concede
victory to the Republican State
ticket in Michigan. They are not
so sure of Dewey victory. De-
troit, with 100000 of Michigan's
5000, 900 population, is a UWA-CIO
stronghold and alD a Democratic
stronghold. A newspaper poll an
nounced two weeks ago showed
Roosevelt taking 81 per cent of
Detroit's vote. A second poll on
the gubernatorial race, taken a
week later, indicated that Harry F.
Kelly, Republican incumbent, would
win in Detroit over his Democratic
opponent, Edward j. Fry of FIRE.
mont, with margin comparable to
that given Roosevelt.
1t is the general belief that
Roosevelt can hope to win Michigan
only If the CIO Political Action
Committee is extremely successful
in registering and getting out its
vote in Detroit and other industrial
cities. Rural Michigan is over
whelmingly Republican. The actual
campaign will get uder way on Sep
tember 10. when Gov Kelly. with
members of his official family, all
Republicans, will begin a tour of
the State. Fry and the Democratic
candidates will begin a similar tour
week later.

The Whyte Gallery is beginning
the new season in new quarters, at
1918 Connecticut avenue, adjoining
its previous location. The inaugural
exhibition brings to Washington
paintings, drawings and prints by
modern Mexican artists, which will
be shown at a preview this after
noon and will be open to the public
tomorrow through September 30.
Occurring within a few days of
Mexico's Day Of Independence, the
opening of the Mexican exhibition
adds to the celebration. The artists
represented. include Mexico's first
modern painters, Diego Rivera, Jose
Clemente OroZco and David ST.
queiros, who are still the best known
in the United States, and some of
their young contemporaries, Rufino
Tamayo, Carlos Merida, Jean Char
lot and others. These artists Gre
ated revolutionary art in Mexico
beginning about 1921. although it
was a direct consequence of the po-
litical revolution of 1910.
They endeavored to produce an
art for the people, and to COM
memorate the history and signifi-
canoe of the revolution through
mural paintings on the walls OF
public buildings in Mexico City, as
well as through prints and other
works. Rivera's painting has had
the greatest influence on his con-
temporaries, while Orozco is the
outstanding individualist.
WeU.Knovn Works
The Whyte Gallery has hung
about 20 oil paintings and water
colors, and also has on view q port
folio of approximately so litho-
graphs and drawings A number OF
the latter are well known through
reproduction in books and maga-
zines: Rivera's self-portrait, for in
stance, and studies of Mexican wom-
en- and children, Orozco's litho-
graphs of soldiers and women dur
ing the revolution. and Sioueiros
lithograph of Zapata, revolution
ary general who led a terrorizing
horde of bandits in Southern Mex
leo, warred only upon foreigners and
rich landowners and was idolized
by the poor
In some authoritative opinions
Mexico has the most important con-
temporary art movement in the
Central and Southern American
hemisphere. Not a few American
artists have been Influenced by the
Mexicans, and have become little
Riveras." Both Rivera and Orozco
have been given important mural
commissions in the United States
which have caused no little con-
troversy.
Yet it would be a mistake to con-
slider the Mexican contemporary
school as a unit. These artists
are indomitable individualists, as
one can see, even from SO small
an exhibition as that at the Whyte
Gallery. 1t ranges from such nat
uralistic work as Jesus Escobedo's s
large pencil drawing. "Sick Cousin, y
to the abstract oil paintings OF
Carlos Merida.

Ruflno Tamayo and Julio Cas-
tellanos were pioneers in painting

special exhibition of his work which
opened at the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art on September 2.
Nearly so drawings, a large num-
ber of which were made In France
this summer after the invasion,
provide lively glimpses of the Amer
ican soldier at work and at rest;
of Nazi prisoners, of French peas
ants and of the country and VIII
lages. A number of sketches were
done in England where Sergt.
AWtrey spent the first half Of 1914,
and 10 or more were made in and
around Washington.
A majority of the drawings are
ink and wash, the remainder being
pen and ink. But whether he used
few scribbled lines or quickly
applied brush stroke, the artist
leaves no doubt as to the signifi-
canoe of his drawings. Most Of
them are racy, down-to-earth
sketches of human encounters.
Egg Hunt" for instance, depicts
two GIs trying to buy eggs from
a peasant woman who leans for
ward in her eagerness to under
stand their halting French. One Of
the boys in thumbing through an
English French dictionary, Sou
venir Hunt" reveals a group Of
soldiers searching the ruins of
French village for something with
which to remember it-a charac-
teristic scene. There have been
countless stories of our servicemen's
proficiency in carrying on the ma
tional mania, and Sergt. Awtrey
has caught the enthusiasm of this
particular group.
Another arresting sketch is that
of German Prisoners in Nor
mandy" being driven in a truck
through a village. The postures,
expressions and gestures of the on
lockers carry conviction that the
artist drew this on the spot. Several
drawings of Americans in English
pubs are equally vivid One can
almost hear the argument of the
two soldiers in No. %.
John F. Awtrey was born in Knox
vile, Tenn, in 1917; spent his child
hood in La Grange, Ga. He studied
architecture at Clemson Is. c.
Agricultural College, then came to
Washington and studied at the
Corcoran School of Art 1937-39) and
the Phillips Gallery Art School. He
entered the United States Army in
194l, but has managed to keep up
his art work along with his service
duties. He is also a feature writer
for Army newspapers. He was rep
resented with several sketches in
Life magazines "Art of the Armed
Forces" exhibition which opened
at the National Gallery of Art in
1912 and subsequently toured the
country for two years under auspices
of the American Federation of Arts.
His wife. 1t. Dorothy Robinson
Awtrey, WAC, is now stationed in
Washington.
This exhibition will remain
through Sunday, September "a.

Whyte Gallery Opens Season in New
Quarters With Mexican Exhibition

Is q SOmber work IN close tOnal
harmony, with subtle contrast in
the colors of the two figures. The
peasant soldier seated on the edge
Of the bed is painted in dark olive
greens and browns. giving him a
somewhat melancholy mood, where
as the nude women is an exuberant
figure in warm earth reds. Also
by Castellanos is delicate drawing
of Young Flutist" in silvery
pencil.
Jean Charlot's two oil paintings,
Flight Into Egypt" and Market
Place" are entirely different from
any of the others. He endeavors to
turn the Mexican peasant women
into architectural forms, in closely
integrated compositions. They are
massive, simplied and angular, mon
umental despite the small size of
the paintings. Yet they have the
most charming color schemes of any
work on view: Soft, high-keyed rose
pink, yellow. warm blue and lu-
minous white.
Ricardo Martinez's painting of
choirboys is one of the most cheer
full works in the exhibition, with
the boys fresh faces and bright red
gowns contrasted with the gray and
brown backgrounds
Jose Ramis is Spanish painter
who has identified himself with
the Mexicans. A colorful little oil
by him depicts three poems going to
burial. Wearing blue, red and
violet Zarapes, they make a vivid
group; the central man has a coffin
on his back, while his companions
carry a cross and wreath. The
painting is a good example Of the
Mexicans' attitude toward death
which is more familiar and casual
and less fearful than ours.
Fine Ne,O Quarters
The Whyte Gallery's new quarters
will be exclusively devoted to art
In addition to the special monthly
exhibitions, original paintings by
Washington artists and framed
prints of works by old and modern
masters will be hung above the
bookshelves and will be changed at
intervals.
The former gallery at 1920 Con-
necticut avenue is being remodeled
to be devoted to children's books in
six languages. Marguerite Burgess
has completed a mural frieze in
three panels. One long panel illus
trates characters from children's s
classics-"Alice in Wonderland,
Mother Goose ETC., while a COM
panion piece depicts children in ma
tive costumes Of various nations. In
its entirety, it represents the books
which will occupy the shelves along
the opposite wall. This children's
gallery will be open in a week OF
10 days.

Ne,C Exhibition

Paintings of Naval Medicine" il
lustrating the wartime role of Navy
doctors, comprise special exhibi-
ton opening this afternoon at the
National Gallery of Art, to remain
to october 8. Seventy-five paintings
on display from the Abbott collec-
ton are to be given to the United
States Government. They constitute
a valuable document of the treat
ment of sick and injured naval per-
sonnel in the war, dealing with such
subjects as aid under fire, transport
ing of casualties, treatment at un-
derground hospitals, blood plasma
transfusions and scenes of conva-
lescence.
1t is not surprising that the
overseas subjects included are from
the war in the Pacific: Medical
scenes at Guadalcanal, Tarawa,
Pearl Harbor and Bougainville. 1t
has been pointed out frequently
that the Pacific theater is the Navy's
while Europe is the special province
Of the Army although the services
overlap extensively in all areas.
There are also paintings and studies
of preliminary training of medical
corpsmen before departing for the
front.
Noted artists were commissioned
to make these documentary paint
ings: Joseph Hirsch, who painted at
Guadalcanal, G New Guinea, the Fits.
Pearl Harbor and New Caledonia:
Kerr Eby, who covered the work Of
the Medical Corps during the land
ings at Tarawa and Bougainville;
David Stone Martin and Irwin Hoff-
man, who transcribed preliminary
training at the Navy Medical Field
Service School, Camp Lejeune, N. c.;
Carlos Anderson painted the treat
ment Of special cases at the Naval
Medical Center at Bethesda, Nd,
and Julian Levi dealt with the treat
ment of convalescents at Norfolk
Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Va.

Hog Cholera Can Be
Properly Treated
Vaccination and
Care Essential

Hog cholera is serious con-
tagious swine disease caused by
virus, which is "a substance so small
that it cannot be seen through a
microscope. It costs loss OF
$4,000, 900 annually to swine grow
ers, according to report issued
by Clemson Agricultural college.
The symptoms of hog cholera are
loss of appetite, high fever, and
either constipation or diarrhea. The
affected animals usually remain in
the bed, but when forced to move,
walk with webbing gait. The sick
pigs usually die within six to ten
days but may linger three to four
weeks before they die.
The virus which causes hog chol-
era is present in the body tissues,
fluids and excretions of hogs affect
ed with hog cholera. Therefore,
feed, water, bedding, and soil be-
come contaminated very quickly
with bladder and bowel Examinations.
If this infected material gets
into the digestive tract of suscepti-
BILE swine, these animals will de-
velop hog cholera in a few days.
Hog cholera is usually spread by
moving sick hogs, by moving unvac-
cinated hogs in contaminated trucks,
by dogs, buzzards and other ami
mails, by mud and manure carried
from infected to noninfected farms
on the shoes of individuals, on
wheels of farm vehicles, by careless
handling of hog cholera virus, by
feeding table scraps and garbage
which contain hog bones and un-
cooked pork trimmings and by i'm
proper disposal of the carcasses of
hogs which have died of hog cholera.
Hog cholera can be prevented by
vaccinating healthy animals with
adequate amounts of hog cholera
serum and virus produced by a rep
utable laboratory. They should be
vaccinated when six to seven weeks
old.

In Canada, the milkweed has
proven a good source of rubber. The
leaves from one acre will yield from
200 to 800 pounds of rubber gum.
The floss of milkweed can be con.
