Named To

WASHINGTON (ANP)—Chas.

appointed to the Naval
emy at Annapolis by Rep.

17-year-ofd' brother, Dennis
Nelson, III, had been
to the same academy by
Adam Clayton Powell.
Charles and Dennis, III,
the sons of Lt. and Mrs.
Nelson, II of Washington.
boys will enter the naval
emy next year. Dennis,
has been in general
now for near two years on
Pctomac River Command
val Reserve and hopes to
cialize in submarines. He
uated from Pearl high
at Nashville in 1947 and
tended Fisk university for
year prior, to his moving
Washington.
Charles finished Pearl
at Nashville in 1945. Both
will enter Howard
this fall, Charles as a
man and Dennis as a
more. Charles will enter
navy on Nov. 2 and will
alize in naval aviatioiv
The Nelson boys come from
long line cf seafaring
Their father, Lt. Nelson, en
listed in the Navy in 1942,
soon became a recruiting
cialists and one of the first
Negroes to become naval
cers. He was commissioned
ensign in 1944 and served
two years in the Pacific
ter at Pearl Harbor,
and on Eniwetok island.
He was the commanding
ficer of a logistics support
pany on Eniwetok. In 1946
was assigned to duty with
navy departmeiyt in
T efe * se and the °
, of public information. He
now the highest ranking
officer still in naval
The. lieutenant has the
tion of being the first
or perhaps the first
ever to have two sons
taneously appointed to a
val academy for officer
ing.
Because his duties kept
away from home the most
the time, the lieutenant
butes the boys’ success to
efficiency of his wife, Mi's
Evangeline Stewart-Nelson-
Mrs. Nelson, native of
ington, N. C., is a graduate
Fisk and was active in
and civic work while living
Nashville. There she served
president of the local
chapter of Delta Sigma
sorority and was a social
er in the Tennessee
Department.
The urge for the sea, so evi¬
dent in the two Nelson young¬
sters, dates back three genera¬
tions when the paternal and
maternal grandfathers
jackstars. Dennis Nelson, I
father of the Iieutei|;nt and
grandfather of the two Nelson
boys, enlisted in the navy ir
World War I and served for 20
years. After his retirement
from the navy he took a fed¬
eral job with the treasury de¬
partment.
The other grandfather.
Charles A. Stewart, father of
Mrs. Nelson, began his naval
career during the Spanish-
American War and also served
20 years- Upor* his retirement
he accepted a job as postman
in Wilmington* N. C.
It is interesting to note the
progress the navy has made
in three generations. When the
older men of the Nelson-Stew-
art family served in the navy
there were no Negro officers.
During the next generation,
Dennis, II was one of the 12
enlisted men who were commis¬
sioned officers out of a possi¬
ble 167,000 Negroes who were
serving in the. navy during
World War II. The boys who
represent the third generation
Nelson navy men, were two of
the few Negro young meil ap¬
pointed to attend the U. S. Na¬
val academy where they will
come out full-fledged officers.
Wesley A Birown, the lone
Negro midshipman at the
academy now. recently visited
Washington to greet the two

new appointees.
Lt. Nelson is a graduate of
the high school and college de¬
partments cf. Fisk university
and has studied at Miller Tea¬
chers’ college, and the Univer¬
sity of Hawaii.
He is the author of a semi¬
official book on “Integration of
the Negro in the U. S. Navy,
1775-1947,” published in 1947
with a second edition reprint¬
ed in 1948. He was instructor
in -sociology at Fisk from 1940
to 1942, when he resigned

ESCAPES DEATH
WASHINGTON' (ANP) — Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, chief aid to
Count Folke Bernadotte, mi¬
raculously escaped death when
the Count and his French aide
were assassinated in Jerusa¬
lem. *»
The Sweedtsh count who was
serving as United Nat’ons me-
diator in Palestine and Col.
Serot, the French officer'

observer in Jerusalem, were
shot down by four men in Jew¬
ish uniform while on official

ish territory.

aide rem ai n ed behind
Rhodes to finish up Count, Ber-
nadotte’s special report to the
assembly, flying to Jerusalem
upon completion of his work
,in Rhodes.
' Count Bernadotte had been
'murdered about one hour when
Dr Bunche arrived in Jerusa¬
lem by special plane.
Dr Bunche was immediately
designated by Gen. Benjamin
Cohen, act'ng secretary of the
UN, to take over the work as
chief-of-mission, bossing the
truce observance until the se¬
curity council and general as¬
sembly acted.
The acting mediator was
given complete authority, as
Gen. Cohen declared that “as¬
sassination does not cancel the
continuation of the truce.”
The newly-appointed med’a-
tor has served as secretary of
the United Nations Palestine
Commission since last Decem¬
ber and as such was chief aide
to Count Bernadotte. Prior to
this assignment Dr- Bunche
vad served as director of the
UN Trustee division from the
time it was first - organized.

est position ever occupied by a
Negro in the State Depart¬
ment. He was on leave from
the faculty of Howard univer¬
sity, where he had served as
professor of political science

ard. He later did graduate
work at Northwestern un'ver-
