193035011Circa 1930. 1930. Good. - A black-and-white approximately 3 inch high by 2-1/4 wide portrait has been clipped from a magazine and mounted on a piece of cream-colored paper and then on a gray card 6 inches high by 3-3/4 inches wide. Inscribed and signed on the first mount below the portrait: "To Seymour Halpern / with kindest regards / J. V. Chase / Admiral US Navy". There is a piece out of the lower right edge of the gray card & its bottom left corner is chipped. There is a very small crease to the left margin of the cream mount. Good. <p>This head-and-shoulders portrait of Chase is inscribed to future Congressman Seymour Halpern then a young autograph collector.<p>Rear Admiral Jehu V. Chase 1869-1937 was a career officer in the U.S. Navy. As commander of the USS Minnesota when she was mined in World War I he was awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Medal for his seamanship and leadership in bringing his ship safely to port without loss of life. From September 1930 to September 1931 he was Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet and from April 1932 until his retirement in February 1933.he was Chairman of the General Board.<p>The Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Circa [1930]. unknown
