We heard tales of the three
handsome daughters of the house,
who would dash up to the entrance
gates on their spirited horses.
There was some automatic way of
opening the gates. We seem to re-
member that the horse stepped on
a treadle. We were told of their
many beaus - our recollection is
that they never married, however.
Like all old houses Greenwood
has ghost story. Most anyone can
tell of the huge dog, Mario, that
for generations has suddenly APP
peared, joined travellers walking
past the house and graveyard and
as suddenly disappeared.
By a queer coincidence, when We
first visited the Nash home in 1941
a white collie, which might have
passed for a "ghost dog" met us
at the gate. His name was Snow
ball and we could just picture the
start he would give a passerby if
he appeared before them on a dark
night.
Some stories say the first Thorn
as Davis is buried in the family
plot which is in front of the house
right on the highway-but the old
est marker is to the memory of his
grandson, Ephraim.
Through a reader we have Sc
cured some recollections of Green
wood and its most colorful owner,
Allen Bowie Davis, as told by
,''Laff Dryer, a well-known story
teller of the early 1900's. We hope
to pass some of them on to you
shortly.

Greenwood, the old home OF the
Davis family, most Familiarity
known as the Bowie Davis Place."
stands on the Oney-Cooksville
road two miles beyond Brookeville.
We attended the ceremony on Sun
day when a marker was placed on
the estate by the Chevy Chase
OAR to the memory of its first
owner.
Thomas Davis came to Mary
land in 1890, purchased a tract of
several hundred acres from Snow
den Manor in 1921 on which there
was small two-story stone build
ing. This building which formed
the nucleus of the present mansion
is now used as Youth Hostel.
About 174O Thomas Davis built
brick addition to the original
building = in 1903 his grandson,
Ephraim Davis added another ex-
tension which forms the main part
of Greenwood as it stands today.
Allen Bowie Davis in 1854 added
an unusual tower at one end,
which is shown on the ice-cream
platter, which is the property of
the U. S. S. Maryland. In this
tower Mr.. Davis had his study,
Were no one dared enter without
his permission. The tower has
been removed and the house has
resumed the appearance of which
Ephraim Davis was so proud, al
most $50 years ago.
The main interest in this old
house lies in the original stone
building in the rear wing, which
was on the property when the first
Thomas Davis purchased the land
in 1921.
There are two rooms on the first
foor-one evidently used for both
kitchen and living room-behind a
wide brick hearth worn by genera
tons of feet-is an immense square
fireplace, capped by a rough-hewn,
oaken head block. Upstairs, the
original log rafters are in good
condition, and the oddly fashioned
triple windows in each gable still
cold some of the original glass
so they tell us-we would not know.
Up the outside of the rear wall
runs a large telescope" chimney
of unusual design, containing an
outside fireplace-this chimney is
built in three graduated sections,
the largest is six by nine feet at
the base.
The house is well supplied with
chimneys = for every one of the
later built rooms of this mansion
had its fireplace, and they also had
bells in them to summon the serv-
ants - these things were pointed
out to us by Mrs. Wilbur Nash,
Jr., who is now mistress Of the his
toric old place.
The original rooms show that
the first generation of the Davis
family lived very differently from
the later generations - their for
tunes grew until in 1875 - when
we find Allen Bowie Davis the
owner of quite little village -
with grist mill, sawmill, foundry,
and the inevitable blacksmith s1op
and wheelwright shop - he had
even reached into Howard County
and owned Roxbury Mills, at the
time the editor of this paper, Elsie
White Haines, was born there.

Radio EditoriaIizing
Would Stress Views oi
Industry, Clio Says
BY the Associoied Press

On grounds that radio is "big
business" and would reflect the
views of industry, the CIO today
opposed letting radio stations edi-
torialize on the air.
Henry C. Fleisher, assistant CIC
director of publicity, told the Fed
eral Communications Commission
that unions have had endless
trouble" buying radio time for their
views. He said that makes us
skeptical of the good intentions OF
many broadcasters in connection
with public service programs.
The commission is holding hear
ings on whether to reverse Z
year-old rule which forbids net
works or stations to take sides in
politics or matters of controversy
1t has received conflicting advice
from earlier witnesses.
Dangerous Monopoly Seen.
Radio stations have demon
strated that they are in business
to make money" Mr.. Fleisher said.
Their editorial positions cannot
be expected to stray far from that
principal interest"
| The CIO official argued that let
ting stations editorialize would
heighten a dangerous and menac-
/ ing monopoly over the transmission
! of ideas to the American people. "
The threat, he testified, grows out
of the increasing dominance OF
radio facilities" by newspapers.
He said:
THE factors of radios own COM
mercialism, its big-business char
acter,, and the weight of the pub
Usher monopoly in many cities,
leave little hope for any but the
most narrow, partisan and conserva-
tive expression of ideas by the mass
of American radio stations.
THE American public today has
precious little control over broad
casting policies. To sacrifice even
the modest powers at hand appears
to us to be shortsighted and un-
wise"
Refusal of Time Reported.
Mr.. Fleisher said radio stations
frequently have turned down CIO
requests for time on grounds that
certain topics are "too controvers-
ial." Such refusals have been met
he said, in San Francisco, Balti-
more, Providence, Nashville, Phila-
delphia and other cities.
Wayne Coy, Federal Communica-
tions Commission chairman, limited
yesterday that radio stations may
win the right to editorialize-pro
vided they give their opponents full
time to reply on the air.

day today, with about twoscore wit
