Mrs. Elizabeth

By FREMONT POWER Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, who can recite the alphabet backwards at pretty falr speed, says she’s 100 years old today and “feels like it,” Last year, Mrs. Wright believed that she was either 98, 99 or 100, but this year she is firmly convinced that she has reached the century mark. And so today the folks were going to have a chocolate cake with pink and white icing at the home of Mrs. Sidney Chandler, a granddaughter with whom Mrs. Wright lives at 3229 S. Keystone Ave. Mrs. Wright told Mrs. Chandler today that she “felt like a hundred” but later announced that though she was a hundred, she felt “just as full of life as she did 50 years ago.”

She Won't Rest

Mrs. Chandler confirmed this by saying her grandmother dries the dishes all the time “and just can’t make her sit down and rest.” Even though she may stay up sometimes until 10 o'clock -at night, Mrs. Wright insists on getting up at 4 a. m. and eating a “bigger breakfast than anyone else.” She likes bacon and eggs or sausage and fried potatoes. : Mrs. Wright was the mother of five children. Mrs. Wright had a little trouble today with the alphabet and gave it up on the letter q, but she recited a favored poem with only one or two pauses. Concerning the younger folks, Mrs. Wright says “I think they're awfully smart an sensible.”

daughter, Judith Louise Bergmann, 6 months, who lives next door at 3231 S. Keystone Ave. Mrs. Wright thinks Judith Louise is “so cute,” and Judith Louise has a very good opinion, too, of Mrs. Wright. Though her eyes are not so sharp at present, Mrs. Wright used to be an avid reader. Even now, according to Mrs. Chandler, she wants people to read the papers to her. Although the family speaks of it sometimes, Mrs. Wright apparently thinks of death very little. She explained that “I just want to live until the Lord calls me.”

MEXICO PLEDGE TO AID DEFENSE GIVEN AMERICAS

New President Co-operation in Speech at Inauguration. . MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2 (U. P.).—

[The Government of President Manuel Avila Camacho was pledged to-

day" to a policy of democratic cooperation in the: defense of the Western Hemisphere. Avila Camacho was inaugurated in a 26-minute ceremony yesterday, succeeding President Lazaro Cardenas. The day passed peacefully. There were no reverberations of an alleged plot to assassinate the new President which police claimed to have thwarted. Nor were there any anti-United States .demonstrations such as greeted Vice President-Elect Henry A. Wallace when he arrived last week as President Roosevelt's Ambassador Extraordinary. The ‘enthusiastic official greeting

‘| given Mr, Wallace, the appointment

of pro-United States Ministers to the new .Cabinet, the raising of the

‘Navy Department to the status of a

full Cabinet Ministry and Avila Camacho’s speech were interpreted as favorable indications of closer United States-Mexican relations.

Wallace Has Place of Honor

Accompanied by Ambassador Josephus Daniels and 24 other officia] United States representatives, Mr. Wallace occupied a place of honor. He said that Avila Camacho’s pledge to lead Mexico in hemispheric co-operation “is one of thé strongest ever made by any Mexican statesman, “President Avila Camacho appears to vision. the strengthening of the or power of the hemisphere and the day when the whole hemisphere shall co-operate economically so as to be able to meet ang challenge which might come from the old world,” he said.

Lefense Held Common Cause

“To me the outstanding point he made was his strong statement on Pan-Americanism. Apparently he believes that differences which may exist between the various nations of this hemisphere can be subor-

. |dinated to a doctrine of peaceful

co-operation. He asserted that the defense of the Americas.is a common cause to which all nations of this hemisphere should owe their allegiance.” Cardenas took off the tri-color sash, the emblem of Presidential authority, and put it around Avila Camacho. The new President then addressed the nation. He said it was fortunate: the American nations had pledged cooperation to defend the continent regardless of their differences. He made no mention of difficulties between the Mexican Government and American oil companies whose properties had been expropriated by the Cardenas regime,

Thousands Crowd Streets

He said, however, that he would make an effort to secure prosperity on the basis of fairness and the just distribution of riches so as to raise the nation’s spirit by eliminating poverty. He said that the gains made by labor would be maintained and appealed for increased agricultural production. Thousands crowded the streets when he was driven to the Chamber of Deputies. More than 30,000 special police were on hand to prevent incidents. (In New York Columbia Broadcasting System officials said the broadcast of Avila Camacho’s inaugural speech had been “sabotaged.” Telephone lines were said to have been cut outside Monterrey by followers of Gen. Juan Andreau Almazan, the defeated Presidential candidate.)

U. S. Officials Indicate

Willingness to Co-operate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (U. P.)— Administration officials indicated today that the United States would be willing to co-operate with Mexico’s new President, Manuel Avila Camacho, in inaugurating a new era of Mexican-United States good will. The friendly tone of Camacho’s inaugural address struck a responsive chord in official circles here. It was considered confirmation of reports that the new President planned a “business administration” based upon close co-operation with the United States in financial, economic, military and cultural affairs. Private conversations looking toward a settlement of the oil controversy have been going on in Mexico for some time. They may
