HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Life Now Hummino
For Humdrum' judge

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. S
up. Slight, crisp-spoken
United States District Judge
Ronald Davies of Fargo, N.
OAK. who describes his career
as "humdrum," has landed in
the middle of a racial battle
that may have repercussions
for the entire South.
Judge Davies. who stands
81 and once ran 100 yards in
10 seconds at the University
Of North Dakota. came here
two weeks ago to clean UP a
backlog Of cases in the Eastern
District Of Arkansas.
Judge Thomas C. Trimble
retired last June and no one
has been named to succeed
him yet.
I've been pretty well pinned
down." Judge Davies said.
Bypass Routine
Twice in the past five days
he has had to bypass the rou-
tine logjam to rule on sched-
uled high school indignation.
an issue of such moment that
the former college Splinter has
been hard-pressed to keep pace.
But if Judge Davies realizes
he has a tiger by the tail ne
is not publicly showing it.
Last night the judge heard
a Little Rock School Board
attorney plead for another de-
cision by the Federal Court on
whether it could go ahead with
migration despite the pres
ence Of National Guard troops

suspect the Federal agents,
The situation in Little Rock and
Arkansas grows more explosive
by the hour. This is caused for
the most part by the misunder-
standing Of our problems by a
Federal judge who decreed
immediate" indignation Of the
public schools of Little Rock
without hearing any evidence
whatsoever as to the conditions
now existing in this community.
The situation is further aggra-
waited by the impending unwar-
ranted interference Of Federal
agents. If these actions con-
tinue. or if my executive
authority as Governor to
maintain the peace is preached,
then / can no longer be re-
sponsible for the results.
The injury to persons and
property that would be caused
the blood that may be shed
will be on the hands OF the
Federal Government and its
agents. The splendid progress
We have made in Arkansas for
the past few years toward meet
ing our problems of race re-
lationship will have been COM
pletely and utterly destroyed.
Many expressions of fairness
and understanding have come
from you regarding the prob-
lens Of the South and Of the
Nation. AS Governor of
Arkansas I appeal TO you, to
use your good Offices to modify
the extreme stand and stop the
unwarranted interference of
Federal agents in this area SO
that we may again enjoy do
nestle tranquility and continue
in our pursuit Of ideal relations
between the races.
Time is the essence Of the
situation with which ! am con-
fronted-may ! have the sssur-
ance Of your understanding and
cooperation?

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

We have been having quite
an ONCE argument over whether
you should say direct or 'di-
rectly' in making out shipping
instructions. We all are agreed
that We should use the adverb
form Of the word but there Is
much argument about whether
direct can ever be an adverb.
Several people contend that
the adverb form has to have an
~ on the end. Issthis SOP"
asks a ST. Louis reader.
The answer is that direct"
Is an verb-just as good an
adverb as directly" though
the two are not synonymous in
all uses. What's more. direct"
has been accepted as an adverb
for at least q century.
It's nonetheless true that a
great many people mistakenly
cherish the absurd theory that
all adverbs must end in the
letters "-ly." This Is as un-
founded as the superstitions
that sentences must never end
with propositions and that you
must never split an infinitive.
Both may be traced to the
well-intentioned but misguided
efforts Of the prescriptive gram
marians Of a half-century ago.
None Of these theories will
stand close scrutiny. Of course.
because each is inconsistent
with the practices Of our best
writers and speakers. not only
of today but Of all our literary
history TO the time Of Shake
speare.
As TO the particular problem
facing us today-"direct" VS..
"directly"-either word may be
used as an adverb when you
mean by the shortest or sim
plest course" So you are right
TO say he went direct to Hong
Kong" or "the shipment was
sent directly to Port Said"
There is one meaning, how
ever. I'm which only directly"
may be used. That's when you
want TO say Immediately" or
at once" Thus you might
say: Il want the job done d.
rectly"-never Il want the job
done direct"
My recommendation: Use
direct" as the abverb when
ever an indication Of direction
is desired; use directly" as an
indication Of time.

Phantom lives"
He Saw . Great Sea
| Richard did as he was told.
For two days and a night he
trudged westward. Late in the
afternoon Of the second day he
saw ahead Of him a great sea
whose waters boiled red under
the setting sun.
As he came closer the sun
sank lower and lower. At last
1t dropped into the red sea and
all the land was black.
Richard stood trembling in
the dark. The water churned
at his feet. Suddenly q voice
bawled out Of the dark.
WHO are you and why have
you come to my sea?"
Richard tried to speak but he
could not ind his voice. He
wanted to turn and run but he
could not move his legs.
The phantom voice blared
again. '.Speakl I command
you'll"
Richard opened his mouth.
II am Prince Richard" he said
In q very small voice. Il have
come to see the black diamond
on your finger"
That is an evil errand, :"
howled the Phantom. You
shall suffer for having thought
of It,"
Richard felt q warm breath
against his face. He threw out
his hands and felt the Shiny
body Of the Phantom. He
twisted back the Phantom's
arm and held him locked in
his grip. He caught the Phan-
toms hand and felt the dia-
mond on the third finger.
But even as he began to draw
OF the diamond the sea boiled
up and the waves rolled in and
swept him of his feet. He tried
TO let go of the Phantom but
he was locked against him and
dragged into the sea.
He Gasped For Breath
He gasped for breath. The
water swept into his mouth.
His eyes bulged. His ears rang.
He felt that in another instant
he would be no more.
Then suddenly he was free
from the Phantom.
He opened his eyes and
found himself in a red palace
deep in the sea. Though he
was under water he could
breathe and see. He gazed in
establishment at the spendid
furnishings OF the palace and
at the FISH which swan lazily
around his head.
At the end Of the hall he saw
a creature on a red throne. He
knew II was the Phantom.
The Phantom was round and
long and slippery. His head
was pointed and his eyes
bulged. On his feet were giant
fiippers.
He looked at Richard. Never
