Davidson, former Hazleton resident who has been serving as vice president of the Harrisburg division, will succeed Douglas J. Connell as Scranton division vice president, it was announced today by President Charles E. Oakes. Davidson's promotion, effective next Tuesday, was one of several resulting in the shift of H.

Ferguson from operating vice president to assistant to the president on special assignments. Connell will succeed Ferguson. Oakes also announced the utility has approved the formation of a new department, the general services department. The group will include the company's purchasing and stores department, coal bureau, real estate and 1 claims department and office services. The new department will be headed by P.

W. Siekman, who has been named a vice president. In other personnel changes, F. H. Markley, treasurer, has been promoted to assistant financial vice president.

C. R. Collyer, auditor, will succeed Markley. Oakes said the firm has transferred the employe relations department from the operating section to the public relations department, headed by Edward J. Brill, Hazleton.

Davidson, with more than 20 years' executive experience, once served as manager of the old Hazleton division. He started with the company in 1937 as assistant to the vice president. Man Clubbed As He Tries (Continued From Page 1) A line of paratroopers, spaced about three yards apart, stood in the street fronting the school. Behind them, jeeps. equipped with walkie-talkies, were stationed at strategic points all around the school.

Four soldiers stood just outside each of the first-floor doors, and others guarded the long, slanting steps leading up from two sides to the main entrance. They were all in olive-green battle dress, carrying rifles with short combat bayonets. The commanders were there, on the school grounds. A "front" began to develop before 8 a.m. The first move came when Maj.

James Meyers of San Antonio, ordered a squad of soldiers to disperse about a dozen boys and men who gathered around the gas pumps in a service station just across the street from the high school. "Move on out," Meyers told the group. Sullenly, but with no word, the men began walking down the sidewalks. They gulped soft drinks first and then dropped the bottles. For a while, an unearthly silence settled over the school.

Only the squawking of walkietalkies, as messages came in from other points, broke the morning calm. Crowd Grows Larger Then a bigger crowd began to congregate at a corner, a full block from the school. People gathered on a lawn, flowed over into the sidewalk, and were standing six and eight deep down the street. A youth in a pink shirt, glaring defiance at the soldiers, jeered, "Why don't you tin soldiers go home." Meyers picked up the speaker on the public address system of a mobile transmitter unit. "You are again instructed to go to your home peacefully," he said.

"Disperse and return to your The people did not move. They were not menacing. They said nothing. But they did not move. Meyers quietly picked up the walkie-talkie, connecting him with the command post.

Calls Two Platoons He called for two platoons. Almost instantly, the helmeted soldiers came dog-trotting down the street, rifles held across their chests. Meyers broke the platoon into two groups, and ordered them to approach the crowd from the flanks. Breaking into a run, the soldiers separated. One group headed for the crowd on the sidewalk, the other moved in on the people on the lawn.

They did not appear to touch the people with the bayonets. But they forced those on the sidewalk far down the street. Those on the lawn were into the porch. Little Rock At A Glance (Continued From Page 1) nessee suggested that a committee of Southern governors be named to confer with Eisenhower on the Little Rock situation. "Surely a pencil, a piece of paper and a good heart can do good than a gun and bayonet," Clement said.

Gov. Luther Hodges of North Carolina said he phoned the White House and urged that Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkansas be given another chance to keep the peace. ANNAPOLIS, 200 residents of the nearby fishing village of Deale bought a fullpage advertisement in the Annapolis Evening Capital to proclaim their belief that the "peace, good order, welfare future of our county, state and nation lies in segregation of the races." About 98 per cent of Deale's population of 2,500 "sincerely believe that the should be separate and races, their education and other functions," the ad stated. Ike Calls For Understanding (Continued From Page 1) that "certain misguided persons, many of them imported into Little Rock by agitators, have insisted upon defying the law and have sought to bring i it into disrepute." In other nations, he said, "our are gloating over this incident" and seeking to undermine the nation's prestige and influence around the globe.

He told why he flew from his Newport, R.I., vacation headquarters to the White House "the house of Lincoln, of Jackson and of explain the action. "I felt that my words would more clearly convey both the sadness I feel in the action I was compelled today to take and the firmness with wh which I intend to pursue this course until the orders of the federal court at Little Rock can be executed without unlawful interference." Eisenhower deplored the beatings and riots Monday, and the lack of sufficient action by local and state authorities to prevent them. Gone was the Eisenhower who told a news conference last July 17 he could not imagine any circumstances requiring federal troops to enforce a court order because "common sense of America will never require it." The Communist press wasted no time in affirming his reference to enemies. In cartoons and editorials, Rome's L'Unita and Paris' L'Humanite raked Eisenhower with the same line: he acted with too little too late. Eisenhower started slowly in the address from his oval-shaped office at the White House.

Picking up heat, gesturing with his spectacles, he argued his case: "It is important that the reasons for my action be understood by all our citizens. "Our personal opinions about the (Supreme Court's school integration) decision have no bearing on the matter of ment. "We are a nation in which laws, not men, are supreme. "Both the law and the national interest demanded that the President take action. "The very basis of our individual rights and freedoms rests upon the certainty that the President and the executive branch of government will support and insure the carrying out of the decisions of the federal courts, even, when necessary, with all the means at the President's command.
