She is active and unchanging, looking much the same as she did 40 years ago i Early History 5 From a pamphlet which Miss Gudell presented to the historical archives, an account of the storm written in gives its early history as Gudell, fancy grocer- 'jles, produce, coffees, comer of Sixth and Henry streets. A sub, Btantial citizen of Alton is H. Gudell, the grocer. "Mr. Gudell was born in Bre' men and crossed the ocean in Coming to Alton, he fol- lowed the grocery business from -1856 until the outbreak of the when he volunteered his Services and was enlisted in the 'First Missouri Artillery.

He was three years in the Union Anny, receiving an honorable dis- charge May, 1864.

Ala. (JV-Three construction workers and a truck driver sued for four million dollars Friday, claiming they had been falsely accused of being mob members at the University of Alabama.

Four Identical suits, each for one million dollars, were directed against the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, Jiree NAACP attorneys, Mrs. Polie Ann Hudson and Miss Autherine J. Lucy. All stemmed from charges con- ained in contempt of couM proceeding filed in federal court by tfiss Lucy Feb.

9. In that court action, Miss Lucy named Earl and Ed Watts and L. Thompson, construe- ion workers in Tuscnloosa, and R. E. Chambliss, Birmingham, a ruck driver, as members of the mob.

Each now asserts in the civil damage suit that the charges were false and known to be false" and vere the results of a conspiracy by the NAACP and the others named. Want Jury Trial The suits were filed in the Jefferson County (Birmingham) Circuit Court and each demanded a trial before a jury. Miss Lucy, the first Negro ever enrolled at Alabama, was "permanently expelled" on disciplinary jrounds by the university's trusses at a secret meeting Wednesday. 'The "26-year-old former school teacher originally had been suspended by the trustees on Feb. 6 after students and "outsiders" had rioted for three days protesting tier admission.

After the Miss Lucy asked the federal court here to cite -13 university officials and trustees, together with; the four who filed the suits, for contempt. She charged they had conspired to bar her from the campus by using the mob action as a "cunning strategem." Miss Lucy's admission to the university, incidentally, was on the basis of a federal court order issued last July. The matter of whether she should be admitted bad been fought successfully up to the U. S. Supreme Court.

Also Sought Admission Mrs. Hudson at one time also sought enrollment in the university in companion actions with Miss Lucy. After a series of marital difficulties and the birth of a child, however, she dropped her efforts. Both Miss Lucy's case and that of Mrs. Hudson have been handled by the NAACP and three NAACP attorneys, Thurgood Marshall and Mrs.

Constance Baker Motley of New York and Arthur D. Shores Birmingham, all of whom were ncluded among the civil damage defendants. In the contempt hearing Wednes- lay before federal Dist. Jtfdge H. lobart Grooms, Marshall asked hat the actions against the four men who have now entered suit ie dropped and that all conspiracy charges be eliminated.

At that time Marshall said, "after careful investigation we are unable to p'roduce any evidence to support these allegations." None in Grooms held that none of the trustees was in contempt. He ruled that they "acted in good in barring Miss Lucy after riots. He directed, however, ihat she be returned to school by Monday, Within hours after the hearing, Ihe trustees expelled Miss Lucy. They declared that no university could permit a student to make such conspiracy charges and remain undisciplined. The next move to test the validity of the trustees' action is now up to Miss Lucy and her attorneys.

Miss Lucy presently is in New York City. She said she planned to return to Alabama next week to renew her fight to re-enter the university. The two Watts men and Thompson are under orders to appear Monday In City Court in Tuscaloosa to answer charges of disorderly conduct growing out of the riots. Chambliss was questioned briefly but was never arrested.

Treated for Cut Police learned Friday night that Johnny Williamson, 25, of 914 W. Ninth had received emergency treatment in St. Jo- seph'g Hospital for a cut on his left hand, said to have been Incurred in his home. Asks Court of Directors He contended that the hospital directors had the right to curtail privileges, to modify them and that the right to "take away the whole was inherent in the right to -take away a part." To restore the two physicians to staff status, as asked in the injunction complaint, 'O'Brien said, would amount to "giving them more privileges than the president of the medical staff has." It would "promote he asserted.

"The hospital was in error when it appointed them to the staff in the first place," O'Brien said, "because they are not graduates of approved medical schools" He contended that: the public safety, and welfare were at staxc. O'Brien described the hospital board as consisting of people who were in the position of being forced to accept the advice of its medical staff, having no-other means of determining the fitness of physicians. "Can the board be forced to take doctors against the advice of its medical staff? Can the court promote a doctor?" O'Brien asked. Charges In regard to a 'writ of mandamus, asked by two patients of the two complaining physicians, one of which patients she was a pregnant wo. mqn, O'Brien asserted, "Of course these people can use the hospital." He called what he described as the injection of the two patients into the proceedings "a He said that either of them "can get into the hospital with another doctor." O'Brien contended that the right to practice in the hospital was not a "property as contended by the attorneys for the two physicians, but was a The issue was heard by Bond County Judge Foss D.

Meyer, acting Madison County circuit judge, who announced he would take the arguments under advisement until Monday morning. Previously, on behalf of the hospital corporation, its board and administrator, Manning had presented a part of the defense. HuHglHiid's Kt'buttal Hoaland, who had the right of rebuttal, asserted that O'Brien's summation of the case ignored the legal question of whether or not the constitutional right of "due process of law" had been denied the two physicians. He described the hospital board as having brought the charges against the physicians and then proceeding to act as judges. He said the two physicians, who did have a property right volved, had never been specifically 'charged with a violation of a lawful and reasonable rule of the hospital, had never been given a hearing with the right to confront and question their accusers, nor had the case against them, if any, been decided by a disinterested party.

These are required in the meaning of "due process of law" as guaranteed by the constitutions of the United States and Ihe State of Illinois, Hotiglund said. In court were members of I Lie hospital board and Martin Langehaug, the hospital administrator. In addition to Hoaglurui, 'representing the two dismissed physicians, were Marshall Smith of the Wood River law firm, Cox, Smith and Bassett, and Irving Wiseman, Alton attorney.
