Ronald Norwood Davies, 55, U.S. District Court for North Dakota. One of the few Northerners to play a key role in any local segregation issue, sober-minded, Minnesota-born Ronald Davies was virtually unknown until Aug. 26, 1957, when he reported to preside in Little Rock for a session of the Eastern District Court of Arkansas.

(It was a proud Honey Fitz who at 83 climbed upon a table and danced a merry jig and sang Sweet Adeline when his grandson Jack won his first term in the Congress...
...sober, intelligent administrators are supported by a 40-to-11 parliamentary majority and an economy that provides Asia's second highest per capita income ($400). They are hopeful that by the time their first term is up in 1964, they can win membership in the Malayan Federation-not by revolutionary exertions but by evolutionary responsibility...
