Charles O'Connor,
Former Chief Artist
Of The Star, Dies
Charles S. O’Connor. 63. an artist
on The Star before World War I,
died suddenly yesterday at his home
in Jackson Heights, New York, N. Y.
Mr. O’Connor was head of The
Star art department In 1807, when
Clifford K. Berryman, then an em
ploye of the Patent Office, began
contributing his political cartoons
to the paper.
"He was 16 years younger than
I am,” said Mr. Berryman, “but he
has lived three times as long—I
mean he has lived three lives while
I was living one.”
All his old companions on The
Star recalled Mr. O’Connor’s happy
living—how he would eat beans and
other 10-cent meals on hash house
stools for a week in order to spend
$10 on dinner with vintage wines
at the New Willard in entertaining
a young woman; how he bought a
Stptz Bearcat touring car, stripped
it down to a racing body with bucket
seats and painted it a bright blue
to make it the most conspicuous
vehicle in town.
Born in Swampoodle.
He was a Swampoodle boy, bom
in St. Aloysius’ Parish, and he at
tended St. John’s High School be
fore coming to The Star. He was a
naval reserve officer and went on
active duty in World War I, cross
ing the Atlantic—as he told the
story—in the smallest boat to do
that under the American flag and
coming back in the largest, the
Leviathan.
That return voyage gave him his
favorite memento of the war, a
royal heart flush with which he won
$400. He had it framed and hung in
his office.
After the war Mr. O’Connor went
to New York with Louis Pedlar, the
genius of cllp-the-coupon advertis
ing. Life was even rosier in the
metropolis he reported to his Wash
ington friends on occasional trips
here. He would cause momentary
unrest here with mention of the
account that was paying his $250
a week for four hours’ work and
the yacht in Long Island Sound.
His friends credited him aa a com
mercial artist and as one of the
greatest salesmen in their experi
ence.
Was Here Recently.
He was a salesman for Contempo
Advertising Artists, Inc., when he
died. He was in Washington last
month on his way back from a stay
in Florida ordered for his health.
Mr. O'Connor is survived by his
widow, the former Gertrude Sulli
van of Washington, two daughters,
Mrs. Corliss Cameron of Ottawa,
Ont„ and Gail O'Connor. Barry
O’Connor, a son by a previous mar
riage, is an officer in the merchant
marine.
A solemn requiem mass will be
offered at 10 a.m. Monday at St.
Joan of Arc Church in New York.
Burial will be in a New York cem
etery.

3 Fauquier Highways Get
Priority for Repair
By th* Associated Press
RICHMOND, May 14. — State
Highway Department said today
road crews were giving priority to
three highways in Fauquier County
that were among the most severely
damaged by the late winter freeze
and thaw.
Road crews are working on Route
17, which was severely pitted by
heavy vehicles during the warm
weather following the freeze and it
will be necessary virtually to rebuild
long stretches of the road. Route
28 and 233, also badly damaged,
will be repaired as quickly as work
ing schedules permit and the county
system should be up to par by mid
summer.
Freeze damage in Fauquier was
estimated at more than $100,000.

SENATOR OVERTON.
—Star Staff Photo.
Overton
(Continued From First Page.)
Kansas, placed a vase of gladioluses
on Senator Overton’s desk while his
colleagues eulogized the departed
member.
Senator Overton was popular
with Democrats and Republicans
alike, and many were obviously
moved by his passing.
Following the eulogies, the Senate
adjourned at 12:5% p.m. until Mon
day.
Senator Overton had been a
member of Congress since 1931,
when he was elected to the House
to fill an unexpired term. The fol
lowing year he was elected to the
Senate after a bitter fight against
the incumbent, Senator Edwin S.
Broussard.
Offered Overton Formula.
Named to head the Senate Ap
propriations Subcommittee for the
District in 1939, he soon advanced
the much discussed Overton formula
for a more equitable settlement of
fiscal relations between the Fed
eral Government and the District.
Under this formula, the Federal
Government would contribute to the
District budget a sum in proportion
to the land area here required for
national use. Such a system had
been In effect from 1878 to 1924.
After that, however, Congress re
solved to vote a lump sum annually
to the District.
P.assed by the Senate, the Overton
proposal was defeated in the House.
Observers credited the efforts of
Senator Overton with increasing the
yearly amount voted to the District,
however.
The senior Senator from Louisi
ana was a staunch enemy of day
light saving time and consistently
fought measures proposing it for
the District. He always ran his
office on standard time during the
summer, and on May 3 failed in an
attempt to have the Senate de
clared illegally in session because
it convened on daylight, not stand
ard, time.
When the daylight saving bill was
Introduced this spring by Senator
McGrath, Democrat, of Rhode Is
land, the Louisiana legislator re
marked, “McGrath doth murder
sleep.”
Strong Navy Advocate.
In 1941, Senator Overton left the
chairmanship of the Appropriations
Subcommittee on the District to
take oyf|| the crucial Job as head of
the Appropriations Subcommittee
on the Navy. He succeeded the then
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, who resigned his Senate
seat to become a justice of the Su
preme Court.
Senator Overton was a strong ad
vocate of a big Navy and helped
push through bill after bill designed
to strengthen our naval defenses.
Before the outbreak of World War
n, however, he had anounced him
self opposed to “sending American
troops 3,000 miles to engage in some
foreign conflict,” although advocat
ing a strong Navy in peacetime.
He also favored District suffrage.
His plan, however, would have given
residents here the right to vote for
i President, Vice President and con
i gressional representatives, bht
would have kept for Congress ex
i elusive legislative jurisdiction over
! District affairs.
renown as one oi me Desi oraiors
i in the upper house, he took his
Senate seat amid charges that his
election had been fraudulent and
j corrupt. His campaign had been
I waged with the active help of the
' late Senator Huey Long, who was
a close personal as well as political
friend of Senator Overton.
After two hectic and prolonged
hearings, the Senate Committee on
Elections failed to make any specific
recommendations concerning Sen
ator Overton, although the group
blasted what it termed "deplorable
and distressing political conditions
in the State of Louisiana."
Defeated in 1916.
Senator Overton was defeated in
a 1916 bid for the Senate, although
he had carried two-thirds of the
parishes (counties) of Louisiana.
After the disputed election in
1932, he was re-elected in 1938 and
1944. In 1938, he ran unopposed.
Although he announced plans to
retire at the end' of his second
term, the Louisiana State Demo
cratic organization insisted he run
again. At that time, 46 Democratic!
Senate colleagues presented him an
unprecedented petition asking him
to reconsider his retirement plans.
In the subsequent primary, he polled
45,000 votes over the combined total
of his three opponents. After his
latest election, his office reported,!
Senator Overton had remained silentj
on his retirement plans.
A native of Marksvllle, La., he was
the son of the late Thomas Overton,
a State judge. The Senator's great
grandfather, also named Thomas,
was a captain In the Continental
Army during the Revolution and
later served as second for Andrew
Jackson during Jackson’s famous
duel with Charles Dickinson in 1806.
Senator Overton was educated at
Louisiana State University and the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Baton Rouge. He then received a
law degree from Tulane University
and settled down to practice In
Alexandria.
Stamped State With Long.
His friendship for the late Senator
Huey Long began when both
stumped the State during guber
natorial contests. In 1929, Senator
Overton received wide publicity
when he served as chief defense

counsel for Long, then Governor,
who was facing impeachment
charges.
During the later investigation of
Senator Overton’s election. Senator
Long was one of his staunchest
defenders.
In 1939, Senator Overton support
ed Earl Long, Huey's brother, in
his unsuccessful attempt to win the
Governorship. Last year, however,
when Earl Long was successful in
another bid for the top State post,
Senator Overton advocated the elec
tion A former Gov. Sam Jones, who
also was running. Some political
experts, however, guessed that the
apparent switch of allegiance was
merely an attempt by Senator Over
Urn to assure the defeat of Rep
resentative Morrison, Democrat,
of Louisiana who also was running
for Governor. The Senator and the
Representative were bitter political
enemies.
During his legislative career. Sen
ator Overton, a member of the
Senate Public Works Committee,
sponsored huge flood control works
on the lower Mississippi, cham
pioned the Southern cane sugar in
dustry and was one of those instru
mental in developing the Gulf intra
coastal canal from Corpus Christl,
Tex., to Carrabelle, Fla.
Senator Overton also served on
the Appropriations Committee.
Senator Kern, Republican, of Mis
souri paid tribute to Senator Over
ton in opening a hearing of his
Senate District Subcommittee this
morning on several bills.
“I want to express the high re
gard in which he was held by all
his associates in Congress,” Sena
tor Kem said of the Louisiana Sen
ator.

’Red-Held North Korea
Cuts Off Power Supply
To American Zone
By Aftsoctatmd Pres*
SEOUL, Korea, May 14.—Rus
sian-occupied North Korea eut
off power to the American zona
in the south today in a dispute
intensified by an American, tJe
tory in Monday’s South Korean
independence election.
American authorities were ready,
however, and wheels turned as ttfchal
in occupation installations. Two
former Navy power barges caste to
the aid of auxiliary Army unite In
providing needed electricity.
A continued shutdown of pcptr
from the North—which furnishes
more than half the supply in Sfldth
Korea—would force rationing ■ #n
Korean factories and residences,
American officials warned.
There have been temporary inter
ruptions of the power flow from the
North before. Consequently, no one
in authority would say the current
shutdown was permanent
Ultimatum Sent by Radio.
North Koreans had sent an ulti
matum over the radio at Pyongyang,
Soviet occupation headquarters.
They said the power would be shut
off at noon today unless a South
Korean representative was sent to
negotiate over an old disputed power
bill. .i
American authorities ignored the
ultimatum, saying they were not ac
customed to negotiating by radio.
The North Koreans charge the
United States has refused to pay an
old bill for power furnished from
Japan’s surrender to May, 1947. The
United States says it is ready to pay,
and has paid part—as much as pos
sible under the Soviets’ demand for
machinery instead of dollars. >
Hodge Presses Russians.
Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge refused
to negotiate with the North Koreans.
He insists on dealing with the Rus
sians, who say they have turned it
over to the North Koreans.
Only Wednesday Gen. Hodge an
nounced he had sent the Russians a
letter demanding an immediate con
ference on the matter.
The North Koreans on Monday,
the day the South Koreans turned
out in large numbers to vote, broad
cast the ultimatum. The Commun
ists had opposed the election and
staged a campaign of terror to try
to disrupt it.
This election was to select 200
members to a National Assembly,
which will meet to draft a constitu
tion for an independent Korea. The
Russians refused to let North Korea
take part in the vote.
Nearly complete returns today
showed nonparty members, includ
ing some who. may represent de
ments opposed to the American -
backed election—had won 83 of tha
seats.
Rightist Dr. Syngman Rhee’s
party had 56 seats, the Youth Party
friendly to him had 13, the Demo
cratic Party of Landowners had 28
and minority parties 16. Four pre
cincts still were unheard from.
Meanwhile, the United Nations
Commission sent here to observe
the election announced it would
go to Shanghai to draft its report,
. returning the first week in June.
Some members said privately they
'doubted whether the election had
solved the Korean problem.
The commission invited Dr. Rhee
to give his opinion on the istuation.
It already had talked with Kim
Kiu-sic, a moderate leftist, and
Kimm Koo, a rightist, both of whom
opposed the election.
