Orderly Crowd Turns Out for La Guardia’s Re-election
We took this picture at 1 a.m. La Guardia said to caption it: “We got the Mayor out of bed to pose for pictures.”
This is the election night crowd at Times Square, watching for results from the ‘Times’ bulletin board. The crowd was well behaved – in fact this election was the most orderly in the city’s history, with no violence reported.

The Katz Salami
In the Army Now“This is Katz’s – that’s all. Short and sweet. You don’t have to say nothing. I’m the original.”
…Now Katz’s salami is in the army – that’s right, yes. Send a salami to your boy in the army – that’s a Katz slogan.”

Saved: When fire swept a vacant tenement at Pitt and Broome Sts. early yesterday, families in an adjoining house fled to the street in nightclothes. Lydia Krepa, 13, took her cat Billy with her. “He was so scared,”she said. PM Photo by Weegee

A picture with somebody in it sells better than a picture of a lifeless object. So Weegee sometimes puts himself in his picture-shooting them by “remote control.” Here he is posing as a “curious passerby” looking at the body of a Brooklyn murder victim found in trunk near the Gowanus Canal.

Weegee makes friends readily. On a Chinatown assignment he got this New Year’s lucky wish from a Chinese girl. He has a photo of her painting it pinned above his bed (see picture on next page). It is characteristic of him to have his picture taken this way. The cigar is standard equipment.

Weegee’s room shows his devotion to his job. On top of his regular radio is a police short-wave radio and a loudspeaker attached to it dangles over his bed. On the floor are his special “murder shoes” – at left – and his “snow shoes.” He keeps his “fire shoes” in his car. The wall decorations are examples of his work and certificates of awards for prize-winning pictures. The cardboard boxes at the extreme right are his disorderly “files.” The typewriter is his latest acquisition. He has recently taken up writing – a field in which he shows rather startling talent. We don’t know what the Flit is for.
