Pravda Attacks
Wendell Willkie
MOSCOW. — Pravda, the official
Communist party newspaper,
tacked Wendell Willkie today
cause of an article he wrote for the
New-York Times dealing with Russia
and the status of Poland and the
Baltic states.
Dmitry Zaslavsky, a Pravda writer,
accused the U. S. presidential nom-
inee of 1940 of “muddying the wat-
ers” in an effort to entice presidential
support from persons who do not
trust the Soviet Union as well as to
win sympathy from those who do.
“Such a political gambler destroys
confidence,” the Pravdo comment
said. The newspaper added that the
Baltic question was the business of
Soviet Union and one in which “Mr,
Willkie should not interfere.”
HOUSTON.—Marine Captain Rich-
ard Y. Stafford of Windsor, Mo.,
killed at Guadalcanal Oct. 11, 1942,
will be honored here Jan. 11 when a
destroyer escort vessel bearing his
name is launched.
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
has designated as sponsor Miss Floral
E. Stafford of Sherman, niece of
Captain Stafford and daughter of Lt.
Comdr. Frederick E . Stafford of
Leonard, a flight surgeon in North
Carolina.
Knox originally designated Captain
Stafford’s mother, Mrs. Frederick
Stafford, but she died Dec. 12.
Captain Stafford was holder qf the
Purple Heart, a presidential citation
and the Silver Star.
WASHINGTON.—President Roose-
velt, recovering from the grippe, was
well enough Wednesday to start work
on his annual message to Congress,
to be delivered Tuesday. He had no
appointments, however, and
mained in his bedroom to work.
C. J. Rutland, chairman of the as-
sociation’s traffic committee, noted
that department of public safety-fig-
ures showed that for the first 11
months of 1943 there were 1,038 traf-
fic fatalities in the state, only 160 be-
low the total for the same months in
1942.
BOYCE HOUSE TO
MAKE RACE FOR
LIEUT. GOVERNOR
Boyce House, widely-known news-
paperman of Fort Worth, is likely to
run for lieutenant governor of Texas.
In 1942, making his first race for
any office, House filed for lieutenant
governor on the last day and cam-
paigned only five weeks, yet was first
or second in almost half the counties
in the state, though he had eight op-
ponents. He lacked only a narrow
margin of reaching the run-off and,
had he succeeded in doing that, he
probably would have been elected.
House made one of the most re-
markable first races in the history of
Texas. He probably knows more
Texans than any other man because
he is continually visiting all parts of
the state to gather material for his
writings—and more people feel that
they know House than any other
Texan because of his column, “I Give
You Texas,” in over 200 weekly
newspapers with more than a million
leaders, and his Sunday noon broad-
cast, “I Give You Texas and the
Great Southwest,” heard by 300,000.
The fact that Boyce House was not
elected didn’t cause him to lose in-
terest in good government. During
the last session of the Legislature, he
was in Austin writing articles show-
ing how real economy could be
achieved and he helped to save the
taxpayers several million dollars a
year. He is a friend of the schools
and he feels that the present situa-
tion whereby our needy elderly are
receiving $2.50 a month less than the
grant which the state itself admits
they need is an injustice.
House is not afraid to take a stand
and he has come out against the pro-
posed pipeline that would drain the
natural gas of Texas for the benefit
of Eastern industries. “Let the in-
dustries comp down here to Texas
where the gas is,” House says, “and
hire Texas workers, pay taxes to sup-
port our schools and maintain our
city, county and state governments,
and provide prosperity for all our
people.”
If Boyce House runs for lieutenant
governor, it is safe to predict that he
will be a formidable candidate.
Finis Alverson, who is now serving
his first term as public weigher of
Precinct 3, has annuonced for reelec-
tion. Mr. Alverson needs no intro-
duction to the voters of Precinct
Three. He is well and favorably
known to almost every voter in the
precinct. He will appreciate your
vote and influence for a second term.

WILLIE EARL BAXTER
Funeral services were held at 2 p.
m. Sunday for Willie Earl Baxter, 52,
who died Saturday morning follow-
ing an illness of two weeks with a
heart ailment, at his home on route
four. The services were held at the
First Baptist Church in Tom Bean
with Rev. Asa Coleman in charge.
Interment was at the Pilot Grove
Cemetery. Pallbearers were C. I.
Keener, Webb Garrett, Henry Wilson,
John C. Elliott, Ben Lankford and
Cecil Wilson.
Mr. Baxter was a native of Texas
and resided on a farm south of Tom
Bean.

ried in 1930; a son, Warner Ray Bax-
ter; his mother, Mrs. Laura Baxter of
the same community; five sisters,
Mrs. W. H. Forrest of Whitewright,
Mrs. Myrtle Hopper of Whitewright
route four, Mrs. Vera Brown of Ter-

Grant Hoover was program chair-
man at the Rotary Club luncheon
Friday, and presented Davis Parrish
of the Navy V-12 Unit, who is in
training at Rice Institute, Houston.
Davis gave a brief, but interesting re-
port on the training given in this
branch of the Navy. He gave an out-
line of their daily schedule in school
and manual training. From his re-
port the young men in training do not
have much time for play, but they
are given Saturday afternoon and
Sunday off to rest for the work to be
done the coming week. He said he
was receiving the best of training
and when his courses were completed
he would be trained for some special
work in the Navy.
Lt. Hamilton Vestal of Corpus
Christi, who was here on a short visit
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rollie
Vestal, was a guest of Dr. Ross R.
May. He was asked by Russell Sum-
mers, president of the club, to tell the
members of some of his experiences
with the Japs in the Pacific. Lieu-
tenant Vestal has been in the Ma-
rines for a little over four years, and
was with some of the first units to
land on Jap infested islands in the
Pacific. He has been in a number of
clashes with the Japs and was
wounded in two different engage-
ments. In one engagement he killed
six Japs and for the service rendered
he was commissioned on the field of
battle. The members of the club en-
joyed his report of warfare in the
Pacific, and asked him many ques-
tions which he freely answered.
