The confidence of Jefferson
Davis, president Of the Confed-
eracy, in August, 1863, that the
South would win the war. has
been revealed in a letter re-
Gently presented to the Library
Of Congress.
Along with other personal let
ters. written by Mr.. Davis, the
correspondence was given to the
library by Mary Harris Howry
and Elizabeth Howry, OF James
town, R. l., members of the fam
lily of the late Judge James M,
Howry, of oxford, Miss.
In a letter to Judge Howry,
Davis wrote:
"I have not yet seen cause to
waver in the conviction that we
shall certainly beat the enemy
and secure our independence.
The letter, addressing the Jur-
ist as MY Dear Friend" also
had a note of disappointment.
In referring to reverses in Mis-
sissippi, he said: Il thought the
troops there and those sent in
could destroy Grants army"

war, and by Mrs. Davis IS years

Chest Drive to Be Open
Only to Local Agencies

The Community Chest Feder-
alton has closed the door on
admittance of any but local
agencies to participation in the
1855 fund drive.
The sole exception to the policy
voted yesterday by the board of
directors of the federation is the
United Service Organizations.
Inc.
Members of the board indi-
Gated their policy may shift if
efforts to establish a united fund
in the Metropolitan Area are
successful.
The directors acted on a rec
ommendation of the budget COM
mittee of the federation which
declared:
Until the level of giving in
the National Capital area is
raised, the budget committee
does not see how it can Justify
recommending inclusion of more
national agencies in the local
campaign.
THE committee recognizes
that united fund may be way
of bringing about an increased
level of giving"
Requests of five national agen-
cies were rejected by the direc-
tors before the general policy was
voted during the meeting in the
Community Room of the Wash

ington Post and Times Herald
Building. These agencies are the
American Social Hygiene Asso-
citation, United Seamen's Service,
National Recreation Association.
Blinded Veterans Association and
International Social Service, Inc.
The total of. their requests was
$31,863.
The budget committee pointed
out that local Chest-supported
agencies are receiving only 10 per
cent of their basic minimum
needs.
ITO meet the requests from
national agencies means further
decreasing the support to the
local agencies" the committee
added.
During the past 10 years, the
only national appeal included for
participation in the local Chest
campaign has been the USO or
its equivalent. In the past three
years, under the United Defense
Fund, the USO, American Social
Hygiene Association, United Sea-
mems Service and National Rec
reation Association were included.
But the United Defense Fund
has been disbanded, and the
USO, largest participant, plans to
make a separate appeal in areas
where it does not participate with
Chest Federation.

THE DUKE OF ELLINcToNTA

THE DUKE OF ELLINGTONIA
For the past decade, the American public from the
bobby to adults in their fties have been ex
posed to the music of Edgar Kennedy Ellington The
Duke title bestowed upon him because of his regal
manner, has fronted top orchestra since 1926.
His recordings have been the best selling charts
since the very beginning of the Ellington organza-
ton Record firms know an Ellington waxing will sell
like Wldtre, thus Duke is never caught without a
recording contract.
Duke has penned thousand compositions,
each and every one of them standard "Mood Indi-
go" Solitude" Sophisticated Lady" and "I Got It
Bad" are but few of the many tunes Duke created
The late George Gershwin spent many an hour play
ing Ellington compositions at his piano. Gershwin VAL
ued his collection of Ellington recordings so highly
he kept them completely separate from the hundreds
of others in his music room
In January of 1943, the Duke and his orchestra
played their first concert at New Yorks Carnegie Hall
Since that memorable date the Duke has PLAYED con-
certs in every major city always to capacity houses
Their current route list calls for eighty concerts a
year. Because of Dukes success halls through
out the country have opened their doors to other
dance bands. Leopold Stokowaski Laurz Melchor
Jose Iturbi and host Of other concert artists have
dubbed Duke musical genius.
The Hollywood big-wgs beekoned for Dukes SER
vices realizing the American public wanted the ELL
ngton to grace the silver screen of their favorte
theatres The music lovers focked to see Cabin In
The Sky" and the Hollywood producers have been
counting the take since
Duke and his went on Elropean to,,r
playing eight concerts in Great Britain in Holland
and four in France Wherever they appeared ROYALTY
was present. The then Prince of Wales and [3Tince
George viewed the concert from the royal box and
thrilled any American bobby-socker The
Prince of Wales owns the largest collection of Eno
ton records in Europe.
Duke Ellington, panist-compoSer-a and
conductor OF his world famous orchestra has contr
buted much happiness beauty Joy and originality to
great American art form. He is one composer lucky
enough to reap many rewards for his efforts while he
is with us. HIS name is assured place in Music's
Hall Of Fame when Gabriel blows his horn hone

Owner OF Polly
Jet Started In
Oil Business

The oil business has been
responsible for a goodly num-
Der of owners of Thorough
bred horses but it's likely
that Russell Downes is the
only trainer of race-horses
with a background OF perol-
cum engineering.
Delaware Park was not yet
in existence when Russell
Downes left Wilmington, Del
aware, to begin a career that
took him around the world in
quest of oil, otherwise a love
for horses, inherited from his
father who had some good
Standardbreds, might have
eXerted itself sooner.
At any rate, after perhaps
the most devious route on re-
cord, Downes is now a trainer
and is presently engineering
the career of a four-legged
gusher named Polly'S Jet. This
colt with the confusingly FEM
mime name is unbeaten in
six bids for the 1855 2-year
Old Championship on which
IRA racing secretaries will
vote in November.
After being graduated from
Penn State University, Downes
began hopping the globe in his I
capacity of petroleum engin-
eer. At various times he cell
ed no less than 81 countries
home but he hankered to
settle down with his family.
In 1947 he quit the oil bu-
'inesS to do some post-grad-
late work in another field.
He signed on as a stable hand
With Calumet Farm and had
Maestro Ben Jones as tutor.
0ownes proved an apt pupil
'ut there was only so far he
:ould go at Calumet U" so
lie bought himself a few hor-
es which did not resemble
'olly'S Jet and then went
Iack into the oil business.
In 1858 he decided he still
preferred Thoroughbreds to
il and after a talk with Mar
hall Cassidy he enrolled in
ne Jockey Club School for
fflcials. His love of horses,
nd the taste he had had Of
'orking with them, won out
yer any inclination he might
ave had toward getting into
he adminiStra 1--WE side of /,
acilg. In 1854 he became
ssociated with John McShain !.
