He dismisseil discussion of recent naval spy cases with the terse comment: “A weak sister is likely to appear in any organization.” Expansion of commercial airlines across the Pacific “is one of the blessings of peace” because it draws nations closer together. Hepburn

said.

He is W. C. Cox. Childless pioneer, who tought in the battle of Adobe Walls. June 27. 1875 That battle was more imporant than San Anna's defeat in the Texas revolution, he said, because the Indians never again dominated the land. "It marked the turning point of their control of the land,’’ said the 82-year-old former buffalo hunter. "It was more important to Texas thaji the defeat of the Mexicans some 40 years before."

"His life was saved, however, when an Indian brave told them that he had killed and eaten a skunk on the journey against the whites.
