sons are Rghting near Panniun-
jom, they are ordered to sign waiv-
ers which subjects them to a
stretch in prison. Yea, if one of
th e boys firing one of our bijf
(pails should accidentally fire into
the P-tnniuiijom aiva, and this
could happea due to faulty sijfhts
or a number of things, then the
man n-sponsible for the lirinK is
ruined. The Communists have useil
the peace talks to build up their
t'nrces to o*er a million men and
the happenings there have caused
us to it:.>e face around the world:
No iiet-d to dwell on the sickening:
story of how i ({roup of Comnimi-
i.st prisoners on koje defied the
L'niteU States. Yet our bt>vs have
to sijfn waivers before they march
out to do buttle. Actually they
must si|fn two waivers, one fur
small arms and one for the bitf
mins. M> friend.;, d.. you think th-!
is riirht? I say to the people of
this district that we nrfd a foreign
puticy that is firm a l one the
people can understand. The Ameri-
can people ale witting to (five their
al! for the preservation of our
freedom and they are entitled to
know where we are headed. As
your Congressman, i promise to
give to vou the true story on Ko-
rea. and it won't take me two
years to (fet it. You are the giver
of sons a.ni daughters and money.
Tht :e are the essentials to carry
on this horrible conflict in Korea
and you are entitled to know. Af-
ter talking to farmers, ranchers
and business people and workers.
I say that I am convinced the pe..
pie here at home are far ahead of
those pla-.mers yonder in Wash-
ington. These hard working tax-
paying Americans are fully awart-
of the dangers facing this nation
today.
*v opponent has said that the
whole story about Korea could not
be told forenilitary reasons, i won-
der ;f he km wh that Arkady A.
Sobftiev is .lext in line to Trygve
Lie in the United Nations. 51 r. So-
bolev i~, minister of war, commun-
ications and information. In this
position all military and diplomatic
affairs go to him first. Every
movement of troops in Korea, or
of guns . id materials are reported
to him. Sobolev is a Russian Com-
munist.
Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son has recently apologized to
Kniiland for not consulting them
ti. fore permitting our planes to
bomb North Korean power plants
e>n the Yalu. Why tell England
what our planes are (foing to do?
In an operation of this kind—in
such a Lose as this bombing mis-
sion. secrecy W of the utmost im-
portance. It is absolutely necessary
to have secrecy if our boy? are to
return to their buses. What with
So bo lev as minister for war in the
L'nited Natio-as. our boys are fi rht-
ing enough oilds. I maintain that
you the people are entitled to know

the place to come for

ponent, your prr ent congressman,
says our foreign policy is right. I
believe the voters of this district
will show him they disagree by
electing Jack ('ox to congress.
Let me say again, that every
statement 1 make to you tonight is
backed up by the record. So far
as I am concerned there is nothing
personal in tliis ct.ati it. It is my
sincere hope to present the facts
and let you decide if we ne>d a
change in Washington.
In his official announcement « f
Juae 12. ISKili, thin man askim?
for a fourth term in Congress li id
this to say and I n ad from the
Abileni Reporter News, He says
and I ouoti "It is my intention to
return home ju 't as soon as I feel
it possible to do so without neg-
lecting m> responsibilities, ou sent
me to Was hill**, i to represent vou
in Congress. I wouui be tioirig less

pa.ii/n at a time when measures so
vita! to us are pending on the
legislative calendar." Ead of quote.
Her.- in inj- haml I hold a clippiajf
from one of our tlaily newspapers.
I would like to reati to you from
thi:; clipping. The title of this arti-
cle ir "Junketers Took Wives A-
long." Tin writer is writing about
a certain committee traveling in
South America anil is making a
comparison between this commit-
tee ; i«l the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, and I uuote from this
article. "In fact it made -i much
better impression than the House
foreiim Affair^ Committee sub-
committee headed bv Janu s Rich-
ards of Lan taster. South Carolina,
with Omar Burleson of Anson.
Texas, and Donald Jackson of Cal-

Ci lgressmen arriving by plane
from Venezuela at 4 u. m. claimed
they were too tired. They wanted
to rest, not meet Peruvian offic-
ials they said. Whereupon the en-
tire embassy staff was put on the
telephone between 4 p. m. and •> p.

lowing which, the Congressmen

Here we have a situation where

would say, "Now let's attend to
our duties before we partake of

to you so you the judge.
Naturally we ars all concerned
about national defense. Texana
have always answered the call tn
detead their country. I would like
to congratulate the people of this
area who have so generously given
of their time and money for the
re-activation ot air fields and
army camps. These citizens who
havt so contributed are due recog-
nition and thanks. Jty oppont .it
has made much of possible appro-
priations for the military and has
publicly taken credit for tht.ie de-
tense projects. If he takes credit
tor this defense spending, then by
the same token he should take
credit for higher a id higher taxes,
for the incn-ased coft of living to
the salaried worker who is on a
fixeti income, and he should be
willing to share in the responsi-
bility for the mounting casualties
in Korea, it is a certain fact that
he. as a member ot the Foreign
Affairs Committee helped determ-
ine the course that led us i.ito tlus
war. If we give a man credit for
military appropriations of this
kind, let's remember it took a war
to create the need.
To the voters of the 17th Con-
gressional District I submit my
case, t stand for an "nd to waste
and di 'honest government ia
Washington. With all my strength
I shall fight this thing called in-
fluence peddling, mink coats, and
deep freezes, and all ki.ids of po-
litical corruption that have been
part of our national- policy during
the past six years. m
I shall oppose the squandering
of the American Tax Dollar on
corrupt, bunkrupt socialistic gov-
ernments of Europe. If the nation--
of Europe are with us and will
fight with us. then and only then
should we give them money and
assistance. Let's not be guilty of
giving them one penny to promote
left-wi'.ig activities that find much
more in common with Communism
than with Democracy.
I do not believe that our nation
can be secure when those who de-
termine our foreign policy will not
turn their backs on convicted Com-
munists. We must itop playing in-
to the hands of the Communist be-
fore it is too late.
1 shall oppose additional tax in-
creases. A nation can be destroyed
through progressive tftation. Al-
ready it takes approximately 1-3
of our national income to finance
the government. All other nations,
including England, that have
reached this point have gone <o-
eialistic.
t shall fight with all my
strength to regain the tidelands
that were stolt.i from the school
children of Texas.
I have said manv times to many
of you that the American Way of
Life im founded upon a fundamen-
tal belief in ftaod. Our forefathers
came to this country primarily for
religious freetlcm, understanding
Christianity. The faith of th "
brave men and women built this
country of ours into the greatest
>"ition the uorld iia:; ever known.
There are many sign posts along
the way*that tell us we are drift-
ing iway from Cod. I submit to you
that a nation can be strong phys-
ically just as long a.; she i; strong
spiritually.
As your Congressman, before
votinir on any issues, I will ask
myself two questions is it morally
right and it! it best for my coun-
try.
1 believe this is the kind of rep-
resentation you want in Congress.
To all of you let me say that I
would appreciate your vote and
your help.

Little Fresh Air
By UNITED PRESS
The Shrevi port Sports, who have
heon smothering in the Texas Lea-
gue busenu-nt since June li>, came
up for air Thursday.
The Louisiana entry, the hottest
team in the league the past two
weeks, slapped down their "cous-
ins," the Houston Buffs, -"> to u
Wednesday night for the fifth time
in the last six games.
The victory bounced the Sports
into seventh place, one percentage
_ points ahead of the Oklahoma City
j Indians, who were trounced by
FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
ycu CAN'T DO IMS, \lWAT '.VGULD cost ""
Dallas and Dare Hoskins 9 to 1.
Only two percentage points sep-
iiateil sixth-place Houston, Shreve-
port and Oklahoma City Thursday.
All were seven and one-half games
behind first place in the fire-hot
campaign.
In other league games, Tulsa's
four gume winning streak was
punctured by Fort Worth -t to .t
and Beaumont turned on San An-
tonio lit1 to t.
L a!las kept its three and one-
half game bulge over second place
Beaumont on the five-hit pitching
of fcloskins. The Lanky Negro right-
hander scored his 1—th victory this
season against five losses.
tn the pitching department V®ed-
nesilay night, however, Koskins
took a back seat to Dick Fielder
t*f the Beaumont Roughnecks.
The ^4-year-old gi-duate of the
University of Southern California
set the heavy-hitting San Antonio
Missions down with four singles in
Beaumont's U* to t win.
Another ex-collegiute pitcher
sanjt his swan sttug for the Shreve-
port Sports in beating Houston.
Young Dick Manvitle, a Yale
graduate, limited the Buffs to five
safeties in chalking up his second
win against seven losses.
Maiiville, who was optioned to
Shi-eve port by the Chicago Cubs,
has been re-assigned to Springfield
of the International League. It was
his last Texas League game.
Fort Worth handed Bob Curley
his eighth loss of the season to
break Tulsa's four-game skein.
Ralph Butler, who started for
the l'ats. got in hot water in the
ninth inning and it took two Cat
hurlers, Pete Mondorff and Dick
McCoy, to get the Oilers out with
two runs in that inning, one short
of the Cats' total.
The schedule re in a i IV! the same
Thursday night. Oklahoma City
plays at Dallas. San Antonio at
Beaumont, Tulsa at Fort Worth
and Houston at Shreveport.
Spudder Lead Is
Sliced To Foar
Bv UNITED PRESS
W ichita Falls' Big State League
tead was sliced to four games Wed-
nesday night as the Spudders lost
to Longview 4 to I while second
place Temple beat Waco a double-
fo o<fer 4 to 3 and 8 to 4
In other games, Teaaikana down-
ed Paris 3 to I and Tyler dropped
Austin & to ^ ^ . ...
Longriew's Lefty Ralp* Albers
won an old-fashioned pitchers duel
•vith Herb Dumico of the Spudders
although the Cherokees were out-
hit 5 to a. Longview scored three
runs in the fourth and one in the
seventh while Spudders lone tally
came in the first inning. . ,
IVxarkuiia rafts Bob
Swan sun early, getting seven of its
eight runs in the first three in-
nings. Catcher Steve Karas account-
ed for two of the Bears' runs with
a home ruo with one man aboard
in the third inning.
Rav Yochib and Jack Bumgarn-
er limited the Indians to five safe-
ties. . ,
Tyler used three hurlers in win-
ning to 4 at Austin but the Pio-
neers were somewhat impotent a-
gainst all of them, getting only
eight hits. The East Texans, mean-
while, hammered Austin's John
Andre for 15 but Andre stayed to
take his beating.
As far as Waco was concerned,
it was just two more sad stories
in the doubleheader with Temple.

Green, only a couple of days ago
mouning over an umpire shortage,

After he advertised for umpires.
Green saitl Wednesdayhe got ap-
plications by telephone and tele-
gram from Seattle, Wash., to New-
ton, N. C. and points in be-

The baseball circuit only needed
one umpire to fill out its usual
staff of eight, but Green hired
two and said one would be used as
a "spare".
