to trade., how to buy. I owe more
to that man’s guidance than any-
body else la the world.
"I loved him like a father,” Cox
said. “To my mind, he did more
for Abilene and West Texas than
anyone I’ve ever known."
Cox was the first man in Taylor
County called in the first draft ear-
ly in World War I. Though already
married for three and one half
years, Cox declined exemption and
entered service.
Mrs. Cox is the former Virginis
Calvin. They were married on April
18, 1914. She is the daughter of
the late Mrs. Lona K. Calvin of
Abilene.
There were a half dozen Taylor
County men ia the contingent that
left Abilene on Sept 6, 1917, with
Cox as their sergeant. They were
assigned temporarily to the depot
brigade at Camp Travis. Later,
Cox was transferred to the 360th
ambulance company of the 90th Di-
vision.
LUCKY 13
Thirteen was considered a lucky
number by Mr, Cox. There were
13 ships in the overseas convoy in
which he went to Europe. II took
13 days to make the trip, and they
landed la France oa Friday the

Cox and his mates were sent to
Toul, France. He took part to
launching the first All-American
push of World War I.
When the Army of Occupation
entered Germany, Cox went ahead
as billeting officer for his company
to Manderscheid.

said “ no one I know of has pre-

In an obvious slap at Truman,

By DOUGLAS S. CORNELL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 U—Pres-
ident Truman said today there
ought to be some new blood in the
Democratic Party but he knows sf
no mess in Washington.
At a news conference with the ac-
cent on politics. Truman said he
had no comment on the way the
Democratic candidates, Gov. Adlai
Stevenson and Sen John Spark-
man, have started their campsign.
He said too that:
Ho doesn't have to read what the
opposition says—he knows ahead of
time what it is going to say and
it’s all wrong.
He thinks he knows more about
the government than anyone in the
United States.
Certainly Stevenson can have the
advantage of the good research
which fortified his own campaign
speeches in 1948. Stevenson can
have all ths information he wants
—and so can Gen. Dwight D. Eis-
enhower, the Republican Presiden-
tial nominee. Truman said he will
give them the truth aad if they
want to use it, it’s up to them.
While the Democratic Party can
stand come new blood, that doesn’t
mean we are going back oa what
the Democratic Party has done hi
the last 20 years.
MUM ON STEEL
There was no comment on Spark-
man’s statement that ths recent
steel strike had been mishandled.
Truman had nothing to say about
the calling of a new Communist
Party Congress to Moscow, sizing it
up as none of his business.
At one point, he took a swipe at
the Saturday Evening Post, saying
it is always wrong. That was la re-
sponse to aa inquiry whether he la-
toads to answer an article in the
magazine that said he gave the
country false information about
grain shortage. Truman said bo
hadn’t read the article and didn't
intend to. He said he almost never
reads the Post because it is al.
ways wrong. Asked how he knows,
whether he got a briefing on such
things, the President said all he
needs to do is look at the table of
contents and he knows.
Another line of questioning een-
tered on an exchange of correspond-
ence between c N. Stevenson and a
Portland newspaper editor which
referred to "the mess in Washing,
ton." Truman said he had no com-
ment because he knew nothing of
any mess.
A reporter noted that Stevenson
has said something “to the effort
that he wants to bring a refreshen-
ing of what’s gone on for 20 years.”
NEW BLOOD
It was then that Truman spoke of
infusing new blood into the Demo-
cratic Party while declaring there
will be no tuning back oa what the
party has done for to years.
While the questions were popping
along similar lines, tossing at Tru-
man what the Democratic candi
dates have been saying, he was
asked whether “you have any feel-
ing sf being a target.” He said he
can’t possibly be a target on the
Democratic side because he is the
key of the campaign. Of course he
will be a target of Eisenhower and
bis cohorts, Truman said.
As to how he is a campaign key,
he said the Democratic Party must
run on the record of Truman and
Roosevelt administrations.
He said he couldn’t comment on
Stevenson’s statement to a news
conference yesterday that corrup-
tion has been “‘proven” to exist la

Stevenson said his plans for cam-

call for stops in both Wyoming and
Montana as well as the Pacific
Northwest, California and the
Southwest. But he gave no details
er the points where he would speak.
Referring to Eisenhower’s state-
ment that he was a middle-of-the-
road candidate, Stevenson said:

Stevenson brought to the news
conference a newspaper clipping of
the Eisenhower speech, and then he
read a statement he had written
hastily as his reply. He said:
“I am glad that the general dis-
approves of unnecessary expansion
of services directly performed by
the federal government. I have
been preaching and writing about
that for a long time...

AUSTIN, Aug. 21.—Taylor Coun-

was done immediately to provide
some relief, many of the smaller
operators to West Texas would be
forced to sell their herds within
the next few months.
Ernest Williams of San Angelo,

waa to favor of asking for a disas-
