Passing Omitted In
Tragic Message

Cpl. Alfonso Y. Diaz, NogaieS
soldier who has been overseas in
the North African theater of Op
peratiOnS for around a year and
half, died July FL in Egypt,
according OF a War Department
telegram received by his family
here Wednesday morning.
The deceased was in the Air Force
and is thought to have been engaged
at some air depot as parts man in
plane repair and replacement. Due
to the fact that his station was far
from any active war theater, he is
believed to have died from illness
or in an accident.
DiaZ was 26, and graduated from
Nogales High School in 1885. He
joined the National Guard prior to
the war, part of the time serving
as company clerk
He was employed at the First Ma
tional Bank at the time he enlisted
in the Army in November of 1912.
After completing course at Chilli
cothe, Mo-, where he became
specialist in airplane parts, he was
shipped to North Africa and re-
manned there about 16 months. He.
was moved to Egypt about two.
months ago.
Surviving are his mother and a
sister. Gloria employed at the First
National Bank. His father passed
away in 1896. He was cousin of
Mrs. c. Mignardot and is related to-
the Wanless family.
Diaz was the 9th Santa Cruz
service of his country during the
County man to lose time life in the

Democrats In
County Like
Party Ticket

Santa Cruz County Democrats
heaved sigh of relief last Friday
when word came over the radios
from Chicago that Senator Harry S.
Truman Of Missouri had been nam
ed President Roosevelt's running
mate instead of Vice President
Henry A. Wallace.
Those who discussed the selection
were all of the opinion that the
party ticket was stronger because of
the change. and that Truman
would attract many independent
votes which would have been driven
into the Republican camp had the
man from Iowa been renamed.
Democrats and Republicans in the
county are alike in the belief that
the present campaign will be the
closest since Hoover went out of Of
flee in 1923, and that both parties
have the strongest tickets they have
offered since the beginning of the
New Deal administration.
The Arizona delegation at Chicago
played ball with the Truman back
ers following preliminary lineup for
the various presidential candi-
dates. and voters here consider this
was a smart political move
While it is conceded that events
of the early fall may possibly change
voting trends, county voters are at
present confident that Roosevelt will
be the choice of the nation at the
polls. but that he averted catast-
rophe only by withdrawing his sup
port from Wallace and making
known the acceptability of Truman,
long a party wheel-horse with con-
servative policies.
