THE CORSICANA (TEXAS)' DAILY SUN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1957 THRE3 'September Morn' Made Respectable Through Purchase By Noted Museum BY BOB CONSIDINE NEW YORK, Sept. "September Morn," the most controversial painting in the history of the country, donned the robes of respectability this past week. She was bought by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the last word in our metropolitan culture She looks exceptionally chaste in a day and age of the Bikini swimsuit and the mqvle advertisement of thinly clad people wrestling on beaches or in boudoirs. Work Of Freshman September Morn was created by the French artist Paul Chabas just 45 j'ears ago. The model posed, shivering, in water up to her shins, in Lake Annecy.

The painting was sold to a Russian nobleman and hidden during the Russian Revolution, came to light once again in 1935 in a private collection in Paris. William Coxe Wright of Philadelphia bouht it and now has presented it to the Met, which values it at $30,000. But long before that, it was one of the most famous pictures ever painted. And this was largely because of a phenomenal New York press agent named Harry Reichenbach, who died in 1931. Reichenbach rose to fame with September Morn.

Not long after it was first exhibited, a few cheap lithographs of the painting appeared in New York. One dealer in West 46th Street found himself stuck with 2,000 of them, which no- boy was buying at 10 cents a copy. Reichenbach learned of the man's plight, went to him and made a deal whereby he was to be paid if he could unload the lot. Gets Enlargement His first act was to have a much larger version of the picture struck off by a lithographer, and this he got the dealer to display in his Relax with the friendly window. Then, in the phony role of a righteous indignant resident of the city, he began to bombard local newspapers with letters protesting the display of the picture.

The main target of hin letters, however, was Anthony Comstock, the imposingly righteous head of the Anti-Vice Society. For a long time, Comstock wouldn't take the hook. But Reichenbach was patient, and he knew eventually he'd get a bite. He got It by invading Cornstock's office and demanding that he accompany him to the store to look upon the profane exhibit. Children (paid 50 cents each by Reichenbach) were gawking at the painting! Come immediately! Comstock did so, and the resulting explosion was reard 'round the world.

Waving his gold-headed cane, he called for police and pulpit to denounce this menace to public morals. The price on the prints immediately jumped to one dollar The postofflce barred them from the mailys. Frank Black and Bobby Heath wrote the best-selling "September Morn." No vaudeville act was complete without half a dozen references. The dealers sold 7,000,000 prints. A lot of political soothsayers have attempted to read meaning into the defeat last week in Wisconsin of Eisenhower Republican Waltei Kohler, who was considered a shoo- in for Joe McCarthy's old seat in the Senate.

Kohler was overwhelmed by Democrat William Proxmire a man who up until then had a winning record comparable to that of the Kansas City Athletics. The editorials generally took the view that Kohler lost because of such factors as unrest among farmers who don't believe they're getting a fair shake in Washington; resentment against the high cost of living under the Eisenhower administration, and intra-party divisions. But at least one Democrat I talked to had a much simpler tion. He is not what might be called a non-partisan in politics. His name is James Aloysius Farley.

Jim said: "It's just a part of the trend toward a sweeping Democratic victory at the polls this year and next and beyond into 1960, when we'll elect a Democrat as President by an overwhelming vote." New Mile-High Mountain Range Found In Arctic NEW Discovery of new mile-high mountains in the Arctic Ocean fairly near the North Pole was announced today. The mountain range, buried under deep cold waters, was found by American scientists daringly floating on ice floes to do research during the International Geophysical Year. The news was radioed here by Maurice J. Davidson, 26, Columbia University geophyslcist in charge of the meandering, frozen scientific outpost. It was made public by the university's Lament Geological Observatory.

Use Echo-Souiiders Using echo-sounders measuring water depth, Davidson's group found the high range 400 miles from the Pole and Point Barrow, Alaska. The exact location is 83 degrees 51 1-2 minutes north latitude, and 168 degrees, 43 minutes west longitude. There the water was as' shallow as 5,000 feet, after having been about 10,000 feet deep at places farther southwest This indicated a mountain range nearly a mile high. How long or wide the range la has not yet been learned, Davidson caid the range seems to parallel the great Lomonosov Ridge in the central Arctic. That ridge extends from Greenland across the Arctic Ocean toward the New Siberian Islands Scientists Afloat Both the United States and Russia have scientists floating on ice Islands or Arctic icepack to study mysteries of the Arctic during IGY.

IGY is a co-operative study by 64 nations of the earth and space around us. Davidson and 19 other scientists and Air Force men are manning Station on the drifting icepack. Landing by air and setting up a base, they began their journey at a point about 500 miles north of Point Barrow. Now they've drifted nearly 400 miles, and the station is expected to float over the North Pole itself ultimately. Fifteen other U.S.

scientists and supporting personnel are on the floating Fletcher's Ice Island somewhere northeast of Ellesmere Land Like the men on Station they're carrying out studies of the ocean weather, cosmic rays, magnetism, the northern lights and other phenomena of the far north. Russian scientists are floating on three other ice stations, conduct- Ing similar explorations. Hashish Tagged Guided Missile CAIRO, Sept. Egyptian police got a tip today that a Russian guided missile was stored at the house of Hamad Aly in the town of BIrkit El Sab. The officers swooped down on the residence and, indeed, found a package marked "Russian guided missiles.

Sun Want Ads Brine Results Times Square Marquees Supply Text For Billy Graham's Crusade Finale NEW Graham transformed the environs of Time? Square into a massive open-air church Sunday night at the windup of his 3 1-2 month New York crusade.

A huge throng stood hushed and reverent as loud-speakers carried the evangelist's plea to "see.k Christ." The -peakers' platform south of 42nd Street. An ocean of faces looked up at Graham from all around. The crowd stood shoulder to shoulder from building to building. Jive Supplanted Gospel songs rang out at the "Crossroads of the echoing with juke box jive. Lights from the Broadway theaters and big advertising signs cast a bright glow over the assemblage.

A brilliant moon rose as Graham spoke. Business went on as usual in nearby bars, restaurants and theaters. As Graham concluded his sermon, he asked for a show of hands by those who would dedicate their lives to Christ. Thousands of hands Impossible to count waved in the gathering dusk. Graham said: "Here in Times Square is the dope addict, the alcoholic, the harlot along with the finest citizens of the world.

It is primarily a place of amusement, money making, drinking, eating and making merry. "Tonight for a few moments it is being turned into a great cathedral as a symbol of spiritual revival that is now in progress in the United States. Let us tell the world tonight that we Americans believe in God." Estimates Differ Graham estimated during his talk that 200,000 persons were in the crowd. Chief Inspector Thomas A. Nellson of the Police Department estimated the crowd at 75,000.

"I counted them," he said. Later, Graham said in a statement: "Before I went on the rostrum I was told that the attendance was over 200,000. Certainly anyone present knows that it was far more than the police estimate (of "I doubt that anyone ever know exactly how many were present, but I am certain that it was the largest crowd it has been my privilege to address" Traffic was halted in the area during the meeting. The greater part of the crowd was on Broadway from 41st to 37th streets. There also were groups on side streets and on 6th and 7th avenues, and north of 42nd Street to 47th Street.

The 38-year-old Graham who i.i 18 pounds slimmer than when he began his New York crusade May 15 spoke with his usual vigor at the Times Square windup. Wants World Told He urged the crowd to "tell the world tonight that our trust is not In our stockpile of atomic and hydrogen bombs but in Almighty Goil. Let us tell the world tonight that we desperately want peace but not peace at any price." "Let us tell the world tonight," he continued, "that we are morally and spiritually strong as well as militarily and economically. Let us frankly admit our moral and social sins and humbly bow in repentance before God." Graham noted the movie ads on the marquees of four nearby theaters in putting his message across. "We can see many inscriptions that describe the condition psychologically, materially and spiritually of millions today," he said "On the theater marquees here at Times Square we can see many 'nscrlptions that describe the tra- edy of the human soul today," he said.

"Among the many there are four I would like to choose. "First, 'The Ten "This Is God's moral law given Moses To transgress jven one of these commandments sin, the result of which is eternal separation from God Then Graham said: "On one of the marquees there is the announcement of a picture entitled The Lonely There are thousands of people in New York and throughout America that are lone- y. Millions are separated from God. This separation brings about an eternal loneliness. Unless you give your life to Christ, your loneliness will last for eternity Jesus Christ will take away your Irfztt- ness." Graham continued that "another picture is entitled 'The Walking The Bible teaches that we are more than lonely.

We are spiritually dead apart from Christ The Bible says that sin brings about spiritual death. The Gospel of Christ offers new life to the soul Graham then said: "There is an- othe picture entitled 'Love In the Afternoon 1 The modern day world has spoiled the word 'love' The greatest love story of all time reached its climax in the afternoon when 'God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whomsoever beiieveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." After the meeting, Graham let! by train for Charlotte, C. en route to his home at Montreal, N. to join his family. Graham said he will return to New York Sept.

24 to address a breakfast meeting of New York City clergymen. He will be here again to end a week of evangelism Oct 27 at the Polo Grounds. He also plans a few more meetings in October in the vicinity of New York. Graham ended his crusade meetings at Madison Square Garden Saturday night A capacity crowd of 19,200 was in the Garden. Prior to the meeting he addressed an overflow crowd of more than 7,000 outside the arena.

On Saturday night there were 767 "decisions for Christ." Offer Red 'Counter' At the final Garden meeting Graham urged his listeners to counter card-carrying Communnists with Bible-carrying Christians. Since his crusade began, he said, "there is a tremendous difference in New difference In the lives of thousands of people." A statement issued Sunday by the Graham team reported that 1,949,600 persons had heard the evangelist before the Times Square meeting. There Is no record of how many "repeaters" that figure included. The total included the 100,000 persons at Yankee Stadium July 20 as well as the crowds at special rallies at Forest Hills In Queens Harlem, Brooklyn and the Wall Street area. The report said 06,767 persons had made "decisions for Christ" here.
