IN Retrospect
BY Eunis Beryl Mott

It couldn't have been better be-
cause Floyd Rays dance was the
best dance of the year 40 given
under the capable sponsorship of
Mr.. Stanton Duke. For the sake
of right doings permit us to scribe
here and now about our aspiring
enterpriser, Duke. If may be so
bold, dear reader, as to take that
coveted advantage to throw STAN
ton Duke bouquets. By being able
to live in Portland and still enjoy
some of the worlds finest enter
tainers has, until this year been
highly imaginative dream to
Portland Sepians. And so, to on,
Stanton, who has substituted fine
realty for our mirrored thoughts A..
the mere word, thanks" is too
small a word in size and meaning
to confirm our appreciativeness to
you. Since the orchid is a rare and
truly beautiful flower, do accept
our bouquet of orchids to you
Stanton Duke.
Those of you unfortunates who
missed out on the Floyd Ray lance
of Dec. IL held at Cole Pop" Nc
Elroy's can visualize the grand
time you could have had after
reading the names of few dane
ers we spotted :. thanks to Was
son and his spot lights There
was that delightful table hosted
by the j. A. Minors with the
Vernon Gaskins and the l.. p. Per-
dus of Los Angeles (the former
charmer, Miss Evelyn Freeman) as
guestss Then that popular
table of Mrs. GENEVA Logan and
such fun-loving people as Miss
Johnniemae Farrinton, Madames
Beria Kirk and Jean Lukas with
well-groomed escorts the Messrs.
Smith, Cecil Hooper, and Henry
Strawder =. A congratulatory
table was that of the bridal party
the Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Duncan, the
Willis Williams and Seattle's Joe
Hollifield and Miss Elva Poole :.
An out-of-town table was graced
by lovely Seattleites the Madames
Follings and Chatters and Mr.. Cox
also Portland's host, actor, Charles
Olden Mrs. Mary Carter had
table for six with out-of-town
honored guest, Mrss. E. Fortier i. =.
the Prof. Roi lie (white horse)
Spicer and his ballyhoo table of
six =. the stays Gordon and Bob
bic Thomas, Robert Reynolds, Rex
Jones, John Foster, Adolph Lloyd
and fashionable Mrs. Myrtle

Of course, without the following
there wouldn't have been any jit-
terbugging, meaning Alvin Page
of Seattle, Rubye Black, Jessie
Mott, Bobbie Ellis, Juanita and AL
phonzo Scruggs, Joe and Rose,
Shelby and Vivian and jusst coolies
more Perhaps you, too, can
readily see that Floyd Rays dance
couldn't have been better because

Move 10 Shift Rivers
Case 10 New Court
Blocked by Deaver
Judge Stands Pat on
Ruling Governor Must
Face Contempt Citation
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VALDOSTA, Ga, March 19.-
Federal District Judge Bascom
Deaver stood pat today on his de-
cision to have Gov. E. D. Rivers ap-
pear before him next Friday to be
"dealth with for contempt" after
holding the Georgia executive defied
State and Federal courts by military
force.
The stocky Governor sought yes
terday to take his case directly to
the Circuit Court of Appeals at New
Orleans by petitioning Judge Deaver
here for supersedeas order. Judge
Deaver denied this last night.
The jurist held that w. L. Miller,
ousted highway chairman, was en-
titled to the office from which the
Governor had him removed bodily
last December and that use of troops
at the State Highway Building to
prevent Mr.. Miller's reinstatement
"nullifled' court decisions.
Citizens Rights Cited.
''When the State and National
courts break down and can be pre-
vented from enforcing their orders,
then no citizen has any rights, be-
cause rights are nothing if there is
no machinery to enforce them"
Judge Deaver said in his order.
Judge Deaver held Gov. Rivers in
contempt last Friday night after the
Governor refused to obey the REIN
statement order and publicly stated
he did mot intend to abdicate as
Governor of Georgia" Gov. Rivers
has similarly disregarded orders of
State courts that Mr.. Miller be put
back.
In dramatic setting on the stage
where Gov. Rivers had Just been
acclaimed by the States teachers at
a meeting of the Georgia Education
Association. United States Marshal
E B. Doyle arrested the Governor
and took him before judge Deaver
at the Federal Building.
Freed Until Friday.
Upon the Governors plea that he
had not had an opportunity to con-
suit counsel, Judge Deaver freed
him until next Friday upon his
promise to reappear
Judge Deaver cited an article in
the Atlanta Constitution Sunday
saving the Governor planned to sta
ton troops in Macon next Friday
to prevent his incarceration, but
added that this would not have pre-
vented the granting of the super
sedeas asked ''if there is any good
reason" The judge said no such
reason appeared.
Gov. Rivers counsel indicated they
would take the case to a Judge of
the Circuit Court of Appeals before
next Fridays hearing.
