Sen. Scott’s Secretary Is Actress
By John Koenig Jr. – Associated Press Special Service

WASHINGTON (AP) — Many of Washington’s government girls aspire to the theater but seldom does one come from New York’s Broadway to Washington. But Miss Edith Skinner, executive secretary to Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., followed that route.
 “Edie”, as she is known to friends, family and colleagues at the capitol, appeared in summer stock and little theaters before having her bing fling at a Broadway role. “I was working to become Broadway’s best character actress,” pretty, brown-eyed Miss Skinner says.
 Her big chance came with the play, “Ivy Green”, a dramatized life of Charles Dickens. Miss Skinner had hopes of getting a starring role. She did win a spot as understudy to the star but the play lasted only a few weeks on Broadway.
 This was 1952, the year of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first presidential campaign. One day Miss Skinner strolled into the Citizens for Eisenhower headquarters in New York. She was promptly drafted for a new role — not in the theater, but working for Eisenhower for President.
 Here she first met Scott. then a member of the House. And Scott. active himself in the Eisenhower campaign, was appreciative of the work done by Miss Skinner. Came election day and the end of Miss Skinner’s campaign work. “What are you going to do now?” she was asked by Scott. “I have always wanted to visit Paris. So I’ve decided to take a job over there for two years,” the actress-campaigner replied. “Don’t do it.” said Scott. “We want you in Washington.”
The upshot was that Miss Skinner was offered a post she couldn’t resist – secretary to Scott in his then House office. His former secretary had resigned.
 Scott subsequently won election to the Senate and Miss Skinner continued as his aide. She has no regrets now about leaving the theater. “After all,” she said, “politics is about the closest thing you can get to the stage.” (source: The Evening Standard, 29 Sept. 1960).

 Eddy Gilmore married three times. His first wife was Barbara. In 1938 he married my mother, Margaret Cook, born 1910 and still going strong. I was born in 1940 when my parents lived in Washington DC. Eddy went to Russia, divorced my mother, and married Tamarra in 43. He died in London in 1957. I met him three times.
 I’ve just asked my mother what if anything she remembered Eddy saying about Barbara. Her only story is that she didn’t know that he was married before, until he told her, bursting into tears, on their wedding night. I seem to remember her telling me or reading somewhere that Eddy and Barbara went to college together. He went to Carnegie Tech.

English translation of an article originally written in polish : Żydzi z Freiburga na Śląsku (15 marca 2021) by Jacek Ziaja (Świebodzice)

Jews from Freiburg in Silesia

 This article is a clipped attempt to approach the issue from the perspective and on the example of the fate of one Jewish family (Wolff) from pre-war Freiburg in Silesia. In addition, let the picture shown below be a supplement to the valuable item written by Dr. A. Gruzlewska (Jews of the Province, 1812-1945) from Dzierżoniów, and at the same time a short genealogical journey into the interesting and not fully recognized history of the local community of the Mosaic faith (Jewish community) and the subsequent fate of its members.

Ad vocem of a letter from Israel to the mayor of Swiebodzice dated August 8, 1998.
 It all started with the beginning of August 1998. At that time an extremely interesting letter from... Israel arrived at the address of the Świebodzice magistrate. A Polish translation of this letter written in the original, interestingly in German, was published 4 years later in the pages of the monthly magazine Świebodzice. History of the City in No. 9 (59) of September 2002.
 The author of the letter turned out to be Mrs. Ulla (Ursula, Geula) Schkedi [a.k.a. Shkedi], née Wolff, who had been living since 1938, originally in the British Mandate Area of Palestine, and since May 1948 in the newly established Jewish state of Israel. She was born on February 1, 1921 in Świebodzice (Freiburg in Schlesien). It is noteworthy that she was one of the last people born in pre-war Świebodzice of the Jewish faith.
 She specifically mentioned in her letter the heavily neglected cemetery, located at 17 Waldenburger Straβe (until 1945 Waldenburger Straβe or Waldenburger Chaussée 17), where her father, a merchant by trade and owner of a small clothing store, Philipp Wolff (born 28 May 1875, died 14 Jan 1938, Freiburg in Schlesien).
 Further on, the letter’s author also mentioned her mother (Jenny Sara Wolff, née Pincus or Pinkus), who lived virtually undisturbed in her house at what was then Nikolaistraβe 5 (Mikołaja Street 5) in Świebodzice until 1942, when she was stripped of her property by the German authorities.
 The clues left in the 1998 letter made it possible, after more than twenty years, to revive the topic and attempt to make new findings regarding the fate of the Wolff family, members of the local community, as well as the Jewish community, residents of the city before 1945.

Philipp Wolff (1875-1938)
 The learned and practiced profession of the head of the family was merchant (Kaufmann). Well, the senior Wolff specialized in trade. He ran a small textile and fabric store (women’s, men’s and children’s confections) at Nikolaistraβe 5 (formerly Friedenstraβe, now Nicolaus Copernicus Street 5). The Wolff family lived at the same address, one floor above the store.
 All would perhaps have been calm and well, and the whole story probably wouldn’t even have happened, had it not been for the rising tide of social discontent in Germany, and the assumption of the office of chancellor by Austrian corporal (gefrajter), World War I veteran, Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) in January 1933. A figure that forever changed not so much the course of German history, but that of Europe and the world, which on a micro-scale destroyed the lives and health of many millions of lives, including those of Jews, and did not spare the citizens of the German Reich of the Jewish faith.
 Beginning in 1931, the number of Świebodzice Jews began a gradual decline, although the beginning of this phenomenon had its origins even before World War I. The downward trend deepened over the course of the 1930s, to reach, according to the last reliable sta

ESSEX FELLS, April 15 2015 — An elderly man was found murdered in home in Essex Fells, New Jersey. Forensics personnel from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office have been actively investigating the victim’s home at 238 Fells Road. Robert Foster Nevius, 91, was found murdered in his own home. Nevius, known as ’Foster’, was a WWII veteran, who survived the allied invasion of Normandy.
 Sources say it was his wife, Janet who called 911 from the couple’s Manhattan apartment after she had been unable to reach him on Thursday morning. Officers from the Essex Fells Police Department arrived to investigate and discovered the body. It is not immediately clear whether the victim was a random target, or whether he was murdered by someone he knew. The prosecutor’s office says there does not appear to be any forced entry. Nevius was home alone at the time, officials said. They want people in the area to be vigilant and if they see anything suspicious to call Essex Fells Police. How the victim died has not been released. An autopsy was scheduled.
 Nevius is survived by his wife and two daughters.
