It was added by Mr. Coker that
if he is elected he will “do my
best to keep the office open on
Saturday, at least until noon to
accommodate the taxpayers. Many
citizens, who reside in the rural
areas find Saturday to 'be the most
convenient day for them to visit
in Greenville, and the service they
expect at the tax office should be
available for them,” he said.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones Lanier and

move in this session of Congress
to nullify the provisions of the
Connally Amendment which pro-
tects the sovereignty of the Unit-
ed States against actions of the
World Court of the United Na-
tions. The report is that measures
have been introduced in the Sen-
ate and the House which would
give the World Court jurisdiction
over purely internal affairs in cer-
tain types of litigation in the
United States.
Before his untimely death Sen-
ator Robert A. Taft said: I can-
not conceive of a responsible A-
merican statesman willing to .sub-
ject the great principles we have
developed in this country to de-
struction by an alien majority . . .
Anyone who suggests such a plan
is proposing an end to that liber-
ty which has produced in this
country the greatest happiness,

est standard of living the world
has ever seen.”

the LAW ENFORCEMENT
an-i “I have always been keenly in-
terested in good law enforcement,”
said Mr. Brewer, “so when the op-
portunity presented itself, I be-
came a Deupty Sheriff Jan 1,
1955.” He has since served in that
capacity except for an interval of
approximately four months when
he was Special Investigator in
I Hunt County. In fact, he was the
first man to serve in that capa-
city.
A diligent and conscientious of-
aware
of his responsibilities, Mr. Brewer
has been a leader in numerous
important investigations, and has
proven his ability in solving
crime. His work has led to the
solution of a number of law vio-
lations of a major nature.
“I have lived in Hunt County
most of my life, and I believe that
just about every citizen knows
me,” said Mr. Brewer. “And I feel
that I have the confidence and
respect of all the citizens.”
For a period of several years
after he left the Celeste communi-
ty, Mr. Brewer lived in neaxby
Farmersville. He is a member of
the Baptist church.
“If I am elected Sheriff of Hunt
County, it will be my goal to give
the citizens the best of law en-
forcement, ever keeping in mind
that the best officer is the one
who keeps down crime,” said Mr.
Brewer. He added that at all times
will he cooperate closely with all
other law enforcement officers in
Hunt County, as well as the elec-
tive officials of the county and
their personnels, and the citizens
in general.
“This is an important office.
And for it to be operated efficient-
ly there must be cooperation on all
levels,” said Mr. Brewer. “I will
seek that cooperation.”
PERSONNEL
Also, said Mr. Brewer, “if I am
elected I will be careful in the
selection of members of the per-
sonnel. They will be efficient,
Christian people.’
Mr. Brewers family consists of
his wife and two sons, Ray Brew-
er of Dallas, and Wayne Brewer,
a junior in Greenville High
School.
On Saturday April 2, elections:
will- be' held in Commissioner’s
Precinct No. 3 and No. 4 for the

HUNT COUNTY
I A resident of Hunt Count all;
.' of his life with the exception of I
11 years, Mr. Coker is the son of!
the late Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Coker,'
leading citizens of this area. For
40 years, his father was a prac-
ticing veterinarian in the county.
i Mr. Coker was reared in the
I Merit community, west of Green-
. ville, and graduated from the High
I School there. For the past 15
years he has been engaged in the
funiture business for himself in
Greenville, and before he estab-
lished the concern he was con-
nected with the Montgomery-
Ward store here for 15 years.
“I have had a great deal of
experience in bookkeeping, and I
knew that I am qualified to not
only direct the work that is ne-
cessary in the county tax office
but to take a share of it myself,”
he said. “In everything I have ever
attempted it has been my obpec-
tive to give the best of service
possible.”
FAMILY
Mr. Coker and members of his
family are members
Methodist Church where he serves
on the board of stewards. Also,
he has been a member of the
IOOF Lodge for 30 years.
The candidate’s wife is the
former Catherine Moore, and they
are the parents of three children,
Jerry, a senior in Southwestern
Medical, Dallas; Gayion, a Green-
ville High School senior, and
Phyllis, who is in the ninth grade.
Mr. Coker points out that this
is the first time for him to ever
ask for a public office. “I have
no promise to make," he said,
“except that if I am elected I
will do my very best to give the
taxpayers service they can depend
on and will appreciate. It will be
honest service and as efficient as
I can make it.”

ville businessman, has authorized [

On February 3, 1960, the 11,-
000th subscriber served by the
Texas Telephone and Telegraph
Company was connected. The
company has grown from 7,644
stations when it was purchased
from the Three States Telephone
Company in June 1953.
The company showed a gain of
over 1,000 additional subscribers
during the past year. This growth.
was due largely to the conversion
to dial of several exchanges own-
ed by the company and construe- ;
tion of new facilities in rural1
areas.
Exchanges converted to dial
during the past year were: Hunt-
ington, Zavalla, Broaddus, Bon
Wier, Burkeville, Franklinl, Ce-
leste, Crawford, Hemphill, Pine-
land, Ferris, Wilmer, Palmer,
Bristol, Chilton, Riesel and Lott.
Additional cut overs to dial are
planned in the coming year until
the final goal of converting all
49 exchanges to dial is completed;
Expansion in rural areas is also
planned for the coming year.

The World Court is composed of
15 judges elected by the United!
Nations General Assembly andi
Security Council. The United
States can have only one judge
on the Court. Most of the judges
are from Socialist and Commun-
ist nations. Nine judges constitute
a quorum for the Court, and a
majority of the quorum is enough
for a decision, from which there
is no appeal. Five judges thus
could render decisions detrimental
to the interest of ths United
States—if the protection of the
connally Amendment were to be
destroyed.
The World Court was establish-
ed along with the United Na-
toons. But the U. S. Congress had
'^to ratify America’s participation
in it and acceptance of its decis-
ions. Senator Wayne Morse intro-
duced the World Court resolution
in the Senate and Christian Hert-
er, now Secretary of State, intro-
duced it in the House in 1946.

The resolution said, in part:
“. . . the Congress . . . consents to
the deposit by the President of
the United States with the Sec-
retary General of the United Na-
tions of a declaration . . . the jur-
isdiction of the International
Court of Justice in all legal ds-
putes hereafter arising concern-
ing (a) the interpretation of a
treaty; (b) any question of inter-
national law; (c) the existence of
any fact which, if established
would constitute a breach of an
international obligation; (d) the
nature or extent of the reparation
to be made for the breach of an
international obligation . . . pro-
viding that such declaration shall
not apply to . . . disputes with
regard to matters which are es-
sentially within the domestic jur-
isdiction of the United States.”
Senator Tom Connally of Texas
asked the Senate to tack onto
this last provision these six words
—“as determined by the United
States.” In other words instead of
the World Court itself deciding
whether a litigation was within
the domestic jurisdiction of the
United States, our own govern-
ment would reserve this right of
decision unto itself. The Conally
Amendment was passed by a vote
of 62 for, 2 against. But this was
in 1946. Today there is a sub-
stantial move underway to repeal
it.
