a han dful of gallant
Americans and Fiiipinos

clared. "clears the entrance To

The closely co-ordinated sea and
air movement followed a terrific
naval bombardment Of the island
by the big guns of Vice Adm.
Thomas Kineaid's Seventh Fleet.

landings, bombers Of the Fifth
Air Force had relentlessly ham,
mered Corregidor's gun defenses
while fighters slashed at barges
attempting 10 ferry Jap troops

the island and were followed
shortly thereafter by elements of

REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEEMAN

He was a stalwart giant in the
Republican Party serving as a Ma
tional Committeeman for the
Republican Party in Georgia for
number of years. He won ma
tlonal acclaim for his militant
fights. both of the press and in
public addresses. Mr.. Davis was
forceful speaker, fearless in any
cause he endorsed, oldtimers say.
He was very instrumental in
thwarting the keen opposition that
existed toward the Republican
Party during the early years when
the Negroes were trying to gain
foothold. 1t was he who led the
valiant fight against the "smear
committee" with so much force
and shrewdness that the case was
finally dropped.
His work with the Oddsfellows
will stand out as a monument
through the ages, for it was dur
ing his administration as Grand
Secretary of the organization
that the entire Oddfellow's Block,
Butler to Bell on Auburn, was
purchased. This venture, launch
ed in 1912. set the precedent for
Negroes throughout the country
causing other office building for
Negroes to spring up throughout
the North and the South.
