BY ISABELLE SHELTON

A good-looking Chicago So
cialite who has been in politics
since she marched in a suf-
fragette parade at age 10, is
the new secretary of the Re-
publican National Committee.
She is Mrs. Wesley M. Dixon,
petite, broWn-eyed and brown
haired. and looking much too
youthful to have been even a
junior grade suffragette.
ooh, but 1 was" she says.
II have a clear memory of
marching down Michigan ave-
nue. in Chicago in a white
linen dress with an orange
banner across my chest that
read, Votes for Women l
remember the orange ran onto
my dress"
The parade was in connec-
ton with a speech by former
President Theodore Roosevelt,
then running again for Presi-
dent as the candidate of the
Bull Moose party. she re-
called. Il remember standing
on a chair and cheering for
IT. r."
Mrs. DiXon's succession to
the secretary post. to which
she was elected by the Repub-
lican National Committee at
the close of the Republican
convention in San Francisco,
makes her one of the top party
functionaries.
Mrs. Dixon also is Repub-
lican National Committee
woman for Illinois, a post she
took over in 1852 from the al
most legendary Bertha Bauer,
now IS years old, who became
somewhat Of national insti-
tuition because of the many
elephant decorated hats she
wore to Republican conven-
lions over a quarter of a
century.
Her chief responsibility dur
ing her four-year term will be
TO keep minutes Of national
committee meetings (some-
times with the help of a steno-
typist).
But the most interesting part
OF the job comes right before
the end of her term. Tradi-
tionally the party secretary be-
comes the national convention
secretary, too. This means that
like her two television-age
predecessors, Mrs. Katharine
Howard in l948 and Mrs.
Gladys Knowles in 1852, she
will be on the platform
throughout the convention, the
focus of millions of eyes.
Sixteen Years
1t took Kitty Dixon Is years
to reach this exalted spot.
She was swept into suffragette
activities at a tender age by a
militant aunt. who suisse
quently was one OF the found
ers Of the Illinois League Of
Women Voters. But her first
work for the Republican party
came % years later, in 1910.
Her Republican leanings were
deeply rooted. Her father was
SilaS Strawn. one Of the coun-
try's best known lawyers. a
staunch Republican and friend
and emlssary Of Republican
Presidents.
Mr. Strawn was President
Calvin Coolidges Minister
Plenipotentiary to China to
negotiate a customs tariff
agreement. He also repre-
sented this country Oh a COM
mission which investigated the

Mrs. Dixon, Their Kitty

with him to China, as they
did to the many other parts
of the world to which he trav-
eled during his service as pres
ident of the American Bar As
ISOLATION and vice president of
the international Chamber Of
Commerce. (He also was pres
ident of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, but
this did not involve travel
abroad.
Vivid Impression
The China trip made the
most vivid impression on young
Kitty.
Father thought we would
be there two or three months,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-07

but his work took q year. After
six months I wanted to get
back home to see a young man
I was interested in (Mr.
Dixon). The Chinese war
lords were fighting, and was
sent through China. Korea and
Japan with a guard.
II was much more afraid
of my guard than I was Of the
war lords. I also had an old
fashioned amah "a Chinese
nursemaid) along. with bound
feet - it wasn't considered
proper for a young girl to
travel alone with a guard.
The amah was so frightened
that it was like having a child
along. She had reason to be
frightened, too. She was in
much more danger than I was.
The Chinese bandits weren't
at all interested in an Occi-
dental, but they were inter-
ested in another Oriental"
Other trips took the Strawns
to Europe and South America,
and Kitty lived in Paris for a
year, sharing an apartment
with other girls and attending
the Sorbonne.
SOciaIite Housewife
She married Mr.. Dixon in
1927. and settled down to the
life of a socialite housewife
on Chicago's near north side.
Mr.! Dixon was an official of
the Container Corp. of Ameri-
ca, of which he is now preSi-
dent. Mrs. Dixon became &C
tive in settlement house work
and other projects sponsored
by the Junior League.
She also was on the board Of
Planned Parenthood, but
abandoned the latter when she
got into politics because it
was too controversial with a
lot of people. Actually, we pro-
duced more babies than we
prevented, helping lots of
young couples who wanted
children and hadn't been able
to have them. But 1 didn't
want to have anything inter-
fere with my effectiveness in
politics, so I quit"
The Dixons moved to sub
urban Lake Forest to raise
their three sons, and it was
here, in 1910. that Mrs. Dixon
formed the Deerfield = Shields
Women'S Republican Club in
1910, her first political ven
ture.
The date had no connection
with the fact that Wendell
Willkie was the G. OF presi-
Dental candidate that year,
she said in answer to a ques-
ton. ''It was just that women
were beginning to take more
interest in politics." she ex-
planned.
One Of the most fascinating
things to her, she says, lis the
tremendous increase in the
political power of women since
1910.
There are more women
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-07

than men at political meetings
in Illinois now-even evening
meetings" she declared. "And
women are the prime movers
at getting out the vote. 1t used
to be that men were the prime
movers, and the WON en-
helped. Now it is just the
opposite"
Adlai Handicapped
The wives of politicians also
"are getting to be more i'm
portant every day." she de-
clared. Every candidate in
Illinois is accompanied by his
wife as he campaigns. 1 think
it is a tremendous handicap
to Adlai Stevenson not to
have a wife to campaign with
him"
Mrs. Dixon is an old friend
and neighbor of Mr.. Steven

Mickey Jelke's public trial.
problems are with us again, but
In different guise.
Jelke. the oleo heir charged
with white slavery, asked for a
second trial several months back
because his first had not been
a public" one. He had been I'M
happy with the judge, who ex-
cluded spectators and the press.
Jelke got his second trial and
was subsequently convicted.
The question now being raised
by certain news agencies. pri-
marily the Freedom of Informa-
ton Committee of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors, is:
To whom, exactly, does the
right of public trial belong?
View of Jurists
Jurists generally understand
this protection, guaranteed by
the Bill of Rights, as existing
for the benefit of the person
charged with crime-not for the
benefit of the public.
But the committee puts forth
the idea that this right belongs
ito the people as a whole" as
we'll as to defendants. In other
words. according to this theory
someone accused of a crime is
not entitled to waive his right tC
a public trial as he can waive
his right to jury. Neither, APP
parently, could a judge clear
the court" at his discretion
The committee suggests the pub
lie has an interest in overseeing
the administration of justice.

$4,000 Libel Suit
Filed by Policeman
Aouinst NAACP

The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People yesterday was named as
defendant in a $4,000 libel suit
brought by a Metropolitan
policeman. Eugene Davidson,
president of the District NAACP
also is a defendant.
The suit was filed in District
Court here by Attorney Paul
Lee Sweeny representing Police
Pvt. James E. Barnes.
Pvt. Barnes last october
was acquitted of manslaughter
charges in connection with the
fatal shooting of a colored truck
driver during an argument while
the policeman was directing
traffic. Pvt. Barnes had claimed
self-defense, asserting that the
driver had grabbed his night
stick and threatened him with it.
The libel complaint is based
on telegram allegedly sent
Police Chief Murray by the
NAACP which. among other
things. demanded Pvt. Barnes
removal from the force.

3 Judges Void
Extra Sentence

An additional five-year SEN
tence imposed on robber was
voided yesterday by the U. S.
Court Of Appeals for the District
on the ground that the indict-
ment did not specify he was
armed with pistol.
The issue. unique in the Dis
trict, involved George T. Jor-
dan. colored. who was sentenced
in 1858 to serve 6 to 20 years
after being convicted of assault
with intent to rob a grocer.
Maximum sentence for the Of
Tense is Is years Imprisonment.
the indictment charged the
crime was committed with force
and arms" Uncontroverted EVIL
dence at the trial was that Jor-
dan was armed with a pistol.
Under District law, a perpetra-
tor of a crime of violence is sub
ject to an additional five-year
penalty if he is armed with
any pistol or other firearm.
The trial judge added the extra
five-year term in sentencing.
But yesterday, the appellate
court declared that the indict-
ment Ibid not charge that Jor-
dan was armed with a pistol or
other f1rearm. :"
The ruling stated that the gun
carrying was a different aspect
of the robbery crime and it de-
clared g. the facts in aggra-
walton must be charged in the
indictment and found to be true
by the jury"
The opinion was written by
Judge George T. Washington.
Concurring were Judges Wilbur
K. Miller and Walter M. Bastian.
Jordan had been indicted for
the murder of another grocer
several years ago, but that
charge was dropped because of
insufficient evidence.
Jordan has spent many years
in mental institutions and his
defense in the case at issue yes
Iterday was insanity. On appeal,
he was represented by Charles
A. HorSky, an attorney ap-
pointed by the court.
The case was remanded to

Right to a Public Trial
Raises Disputed Points

The constitutional language
in question reads this way:
In all criminal prosecutions,
the accused shall enjoy the right
to speedy and public trial, by
an impartial jury of the State
and district wherein the crime
shall have been committed.
Seek to Avoid Star Chamber
Main idea behind this right
of public trial was to avoid stu
ations such as existed in Europe
in the 18th century and exist to-
day in totalitarian countries
where a man could be rail
roaded" by unfriendly courts in
star chamber proceedings. In
such cases, who knew if the &C.
cused had had a fair trial?
Until the United States Su-
preme Court rules on the ques-
ton. lawyers cannot be sure what
the rights OF the public may be.
However, New York appeals
court last summer emphasized
the view that the public trial
right does not accrue to the
public. or at least not to the
press.
In that case the New York Post
had endeavored to secure a rec
ord of the criminal trial being
conducted. The court stenog-
rapher refused the transcript
and the paper sued, .,lleging the
right to the transcript on the
grounds of public trial" The
court said no dice; the right was
the defendants, not the papers
