Mr. Davison spent his life and
cave his service in Athens. For a
number of years he was associat
ed with his father in business,
where honesty and integrity char
acterized his actions; and enabled
nim to enjoy the confidence of the
people of this city.
In 1932 he was elected Tax Col
lector for Clarke County; and dur

he was commended by the Grand
Juries for his faithful and efficient
service as a public servant; and
the public found him ready at all
times to assist and cooperate in
their interests.
When a demagogue passes over
the river, the beneficlaries of his
eonduct feel his loss; but when a
manly man, an honest man, and
s man of ability, courage and eon~
viction is called from the busy
scenes of life, it is a calamity to
the eommunity. Albert Davison
was a bold and fearless exponent
of what he conceived to be duty
and obligation. In this city, where
he strength and vigor of his man=
hood were ;l:fzpenm ;;x;li the l;};
bors of his life so uition,
kindly cheer zné’h!! “words of en
couragement will be sadly missed.
Albert Davison will be greatly
missed not only by his friends, but
by the public generally.

Days Of Riofi
BY BEN F. MEYER
PANAMA, Panama, May 11 —
(AP) — Panama’s police army
and public opinion gave the coun
try a new president last mnight
after four days of riots and revo
lution in which 12 persons were
lé(iilled and hundreds were wound-
In a three-hour battle inside
and around the handsome little
presidential palace, the National
police —the country’s only
armed force — hauled deposed
President Arnulfo Arias off to jail.
Nine persons died in the fighting
and 80 or more were wounded.
Arias’ successor, Alcibiades
Arosemena, was expected to move
today into the palace which yes
terday’s fighting left a shambles.
A well-to-do dairy farmer, he was
‘,grst vice-president until the Na
| Assembly Wednesday niggt_
impeached Arias and swore in
Arosemena.
Strong Man
Still in the saddle as Panama’s
strong man was Police Chief Col.
Jose Antonio Remon, who put
Arias in the president’s chair in
1949 and who took him out of it
yvesterday after public clamor sup
ported the National Assembly’s
action for impeachment.
Arosemena announced that his
government would include repre
sentatives of all political groups
except the outlawed Communists.
He said it would cooperate fully
with the United States, which con=
trols the Panama Canal Zone ter
ritory through the middle of the
republic.
Arias touched off the wave of
violence Monday night with a de=
cree outlawing the 1946 constitu
tion, reinstating the 1941 charter
and dissolving the National As=
sembly. He said he acted against a
subversive oppositionist-Commun
ist plot which threatened the
country.
3 Killed
In rioting that followed Tues
day and Wednesday three persons
were killed and 110 were wounded
or injured. Arias Wednesday
night annulled his decree and
Remon said he would support him
in office, but the Police Chief
switched his stand yesterday aft
ernoon after Supreme Court Jas
‘tice Erasmo De La Guardia told
'a cheering crowd of thousands the
impeachment of Arias was con=
stitutional.
| Arias’ wife, former Government
Minister Jose Clemente De Obal
dia, former finance Minister Nor
berto Zurita and other aides were
jailed with him.A crowd jeered
and cursed as they were taken
into police headquarters.
~ In all, 1,024 persons were re
ported under arrest.

MARSHALL VIEW
War Risk Greater In
WASHINGTON, May 11.— (AP) —Secretary Marshall
said today the risk of war with Russia in the Far East is
“more acute by far’” than the hazard of Soviet aggression
in Western Europe.
The Defense Secretary expressed higs views regarding
the comparative risks in response to questions by Senator
Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa) at Senate hearings on the ouster of
General Douglas MacArthur as Far Eastern commander.
~ Hickenlooper said he wondered
why “we would accept a calcula
ted risk” of provoking Russia to
war in Europe, and why on the
other hand “we refuse to accept
a similar calculated risk” in the
Far East.
Hickenlooper alluded to the Ko~
rean war program advocated by
MacArthur and rejected by the
administration. It calls for bomb
ing Red China’s supply bases in
Manchuria, a naval and economic
blockade of Red China, and re
moval of retrictions on operations
of the Chinese Nationalist troops
based on Formosa.
Truman Reasons
Tt was MacArthur's public urg
ing of his program which led
President Truman to recall him
from his commands on April 11,
In reply to Hickenlooper, Mar
shall said “it was felt we had no
choice on western Europe but to
proceed as we did, unless we al
lowed that region to go Ly de
fault to Communist domination.”
He said the situation is not
comparable in Korea, “where we
are in action and the question is
whether we can extend that ac
tion without developing an en
larged war on the Chirese side, or
a full war because of the reactions
of the Soviet Union.”
The Truman administration’s
Atlantie poliey calls for putting U,
S. troops into a western European
‘defense army being organized un
der Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
‘Some Republican legislators have
contended this appeared to them
to be more likely to provoke Rus
‘sian action than adoption of Mac~
Arthur’s Korean program.
Marshall said:
Marshall Statement
“The principal difference that I
see in the matter is that we have
an issue there (Far East) that is
very critical to the Soviet Union
in that they now are in-complete
accord with the Chinese Commun
ist government so far as we know,
and they have a treaty of accord,
“That is being imperiled, I
would assume, and my associates
have assunmed, by what is hap
pening to the Communist forces in
Korea.
“Therefore, the situation as to
the possible action of the Soviet
government is a more acute one
by far than that in western Eu
rope because if they lose a close
community of interests and co

Dogwood Trees
During the recent dry weather
the dogwood trees planted on Col
lege, avenue, Prince avenue, Han
cock avenue and in other places
by the City last year and this year
have been affected. Some of the
young trees appear to be dying.
If there are some of these trees
planted in front of your home, or
pace of business, won’t you see to
it that they are watered in the
event it doesn’t rain? Some day
these trees will be a great asset
to Athens. We must not let them
die for lack of water.
