According to Sgt Einar Thuesen, of the local Signal Corps, Mir. Wilcox has natural aptitude for radio work, and the fact that he has been granted 6 license poves that he knows his stuff.

Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, papal sec

every part of the world, many of them
from crowned heads and chiefs OF

afford to ignore Zacatecas for an

was that Z~acatecas was one Of the
richest mining states in the Confed-

there in great quantities for over
800 years. zacatecas. its chief and
