Daughter Of Civil
War Fighter Dies
By MARK HYMAN

PHILADELPHIA, April 49,
(ANP)-The daughter Of a fam
ots Civil War fighter died at the
age Of 90 last Saturday morning
after having periodic attacks Of
sleeping sickness which finally
ended in her death.
Mrs. Ella Davis, who had lived
at 727 S. 16 ST., here for 38
years, was born in Salem, N. j.
to Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Sullivan
She was the youngest of seven
children, all Of whom are dead.
Mrs. Davis, well-known figure
in south Philadelphia, operated a
restaurant for many years. The
place was patronized by employ
ees of Spreckles Refining Co., and
longshoremen., It was here that
Mrs. Davis, then Miss Sullivan,
met her husband Pete Davis, a
steward on a merchant ship.
During those days, a steward
could take his wife along on his
trips and Mrs. Davis went abroad
several times, stopping in ports
like Calcutta, Singapore, Hong
Kong, Shanghai and Yokohama.
For the first nine years of their
marriage, the Davises were child
less, then one night SIS years ago
as the "Elissa Babcock", a mer-
chant ship, lolled in the Delaware
breakwater, their first and only
| child was born. The y named her
Mable.
Pete came in from the sea fol
keeps and took a job with Spreck-
les. He died 40 years ago. Mrs
| Davis never remarked.
The story of Mrs. Davis father
| Civil war record reads like a his.
tory book. He was discharged
from the Union Army on Oct. 20.
| 1866 after having fought in such
| bloody and decisive engagements
as Bull Run, Wilderness, Va.
Poplar Springs, Petersburg, Hut
ches Run. He fought in the his
toric battle of Richmond and was
there at the time of Lees truce OF
April 8, 1865.
There are few childhood ant
young womanhood acquaintance
of Mrs. Davis around, but ther'
are scores Of people who mad
friends with her over the years
She was fond of floweds and pet
having been known to keep a
many as four cats in her hous
at one time.

0klahoma Warned
Inaciion on School Bias
Means End Of Jim Grow
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 10.
-(ANP)-Attorney Gen. Mac @.
Williamson dispatched a letter to
the legislature here recently
which warned that the doors of the
states graduate colleges would be
opened to Negroes if no action
was taken on the segregation is
sue in education. The letter
to house and senate leaders, blunt
ly worded, was prompted by the
filing of applications by two Negro
students last month for entrance
into the University Of Oklahoma
graduate school in education.
,"Non action by the legislature"
he said, "would in itself consti-
tute the declaration of a legislat-
i've policy which spells out the
end for further segregation"
Williamson's point was that I'M
less the legislature makes direct
appropriations to keep open the 18
month old Langston law school,
it's only student would probably
be admitted to the university for
study.
Gov. Roy Turner, in his opening
message to tn e legislature, reco-
mended appropriations creating
the graduate course in education
at Langston university. Howev-
er, he has since disclosed that he
would have no recommendations
in regards to Langston law school
at the state capitol. He is aid
ed in this by the board of regents
for higher education.
The letter advised legislative
leaders that "non-action" would
enable Negroes to freely apply
for and gain entrance into white
college graduate courses not Of
fered at Langston. Williamson
cited four possible steps which
could be taken to preserve the
present policy. These were:
"Make sufficient appropriations
to bring Langston up to education,
al standards on equality with
white universities.
"Repeal the three segregation
statutes now on the books.
"Skirting repeal. action, insert
in the statutes one or both Of two
suggested amendments"
The amendments would ALLOW
Negroes to enroll in graduate
courses not offered at Langstol
or permit Negro enrolment il
such graduate courses upon a
nearly a segregated basis, a
college governing boards deeme'
feasible. He said the two suggest

An ex-vaudeville actor applied
for job in circus.

manager. "We're supposed to have

and pretend you're one of them.
All you gotta do is sit in a cage

So the actor took the job, put on
the gorilla suit and got into the
cage. About ten minutes later they
put gorilla in the cage with him.
He Immediately started yelling

JUDGES and Politics

There have been reports that the Ats
torney General Is considering the de-
STABILITY of recommending Republican
for one of the six new judgeships being
created for the Districts Federal courts.
This is a story which might be labeled:
Interesting If true.
OF the eighteen judges on the Circuit
Court of Appeals for the District and the
District Court, one is Republican. Should
all of the new appointees be of the OPP
posite political faith, that would result In
a division of twenty three Democrats one
Republican. A check made not long ago
showed that of the Federal judges ap-
pointed throughout the country since 1888
there were 222 Democrats and nine Re
publicans.
1t is very true that partisan political
Affiliations should never be controlling
consideration In the selection of q judge.
But 1t is also true that one important
source of strength of the Federal judiciary
arises from public confidence in its nom
political character. That confidence ought
not to be impaired by overlooking the
courts with judges of one political faith
it, when all factors are considered, equally
competent men can be drawn from the
ranks of both parties.

50 far it is mere speculation, there is con-
siderable force to the objections that have
been raised. 1t would seem the part of
wisdom, from any point of view, for us
to keep possession of the atomic weapons
we have produced, and the chances are
that this will be done. But If what the
British and the Canadians want is in
formation as to technical aspects of large
scale atomic operations, it is hard to see
why such request should not receive the
most sympathetic consideration.
Perhaps we have a monopoly of atomic
weapons today but it is wishful thinking
to suppose that we will retain that
monopoly for long. Our best hope lies, as
Senator Mcmahon has said, not in trying
to hold to an illusory monopoly, but in
developing a clear-cut superiority In atomic
weapons against the day when other ma
lions will be producing the bomb. And
II the experience of our past fruitful CO.
operation with Canada and Britain is q
dependable guide, it might we'll be the
part of wisdom, subject to appropriate
safeguards, to try to work with them now
In the field of new atomic development
instead of trying to 60 1t alone.

The Shirley Highway

Washington owes Virginia an expression
of appreciation for the Shirley Highway
which is to open on Labor Day.
AS pictured in The Star, two ribbons OF
concrete traverse the oak forest south OF
the Pentagon, cutting through hills and
soaring across valleys on high earthen
embankments They form the new broad
highway to the South.
Washington Is fortunate In getting this
Improvement. Among its other political
limitations this metropolis has no say
about the arteries that serve 1t. 1t is
natural that the traffic problems around
Baltimore and Richmond should be more
important to the Maryland and Virginia
legislators.
1t was the construction of the Pentagon
and its strategic network" that embarked
Virginia in the costly venture of building
this road with IS per cent Federal funds.
Including the part built by the Federal
Government, more than 81 900 900 has been
expended on it SO far.
It Is unfortunate that rising costs have
caused Virginia to run out of funds before
its completion. Motorists will be dis
appointed to find that after 10 miles of
dual-lane highway, the road narrows to a
single concrete lane carrying traffic In both
directions and finishes up with about 4
