• AUSTIN — When terrorists
crashed two hijacked commercial air-
liners into the twin towers of the
World Trade Center in New York
and then attacked the Pentagon in
Washington last week, local and state
politics temporarily lost much of their
importance.
Candidates already running for
office stopped making partisan po-
litical statements and those planning
on making campaign announcements
postponed scheduled press confer-
ences.
In Austin, as elsewhere in Texas
and across the nation. Red Cross vol-
unteers stood at street corners col-
lecting money to help with relief ex-
penses. People draped flags outside
their houses and lit candles in memory
of the many victims.
With so many comparisons being
drawn between the events of Sept. 11
with what happened on Dec. 7,1941,
I decided to ask someone who re-
members the last sneak attack on
American soil to recall what it was
like nearly 60 years ago.
That someone is my mother, Betty
Wilke Cox of Austin, a retired pro-
fessional librarian and freelance
writer.
Her recollection:
I heard the news on a small radio
in my bedroom.
I raced to the kitchen, where my
married sister was preparing our Sun-
day dinner. Mother and Dad were out
of town, so Helen and her husband,
A.O. Wynn, were staying with me in
the family home in El Paso.
"Pearl Harbor’s been bombed!" I
shouted.
Helen, a recent bride, was not yet
a confident cook. The meringue on
her pie was shrinking from the sides
of the pan and she only half heard me.
"Don’t bother me now," she said.
I ran back to my radio but returned
a few minutes later.
"We’re at war!"
That got my sister’s attention.
The headline in the regular Sun-
day morning edition of the El Paso
Times lying on the living room couch
seemed by then hopelessly behind
events: "FDR urges Nipon Emperor
to Aid in Keeping Peace.”
All over El Paso, neighbors
stepped to their fences, friends phoned

one another. "Have you heard? We’re
at war."
Of course, not everyone knew
where Pearl Harbor was. But we all
realized that our military had been
attacked.
Until the Times and the afternoon
Herald-Post got extras on the streets,
radio was our only source of infor-
mation.
The news hit all of us hard. El Paso
was an army town-still is. Fort Bliss
and Biggs Field played a large role in
our everyday lives.
Almost any Sunday, families
parked in long lines on the desert and
watched from their cars as the Fort
Bliss polo team competed. On spe-
cial days, we saw the maneuvers of
the horse-mounted First Cavalry and
mule-drawn caissons.
After dinner, I rode the streetcar
downtown to see "Sergeant York" at
the Plaza Theater. York, played by
Gary Cooper, was a hero of the Euro-
pean War of 1914-1917 (only later
called World War I.) The battle scenes
made me cry, because I knew Ameri-
cans soon would be fighting again.
I was a freshman at Stephen F.
Austin High School in El Paso. With
a student body of 1,200, Austin High
was the largest and newest in the city.
At a special assembly Monday
morning we heard the radio broad-
cast of President Roosevelt’s mes-
sage to Congress:
"Yesterday, December 7,1941, a '
date which will live in infamy-the
United States was suddenly and de-
liberately attacked...."
Our lives had forever changed.
