Mickey Cohen have been seeing
quite a bit of each other. But if
leading Cohen to Christ is part of
the plan, Cohen says he doesn’t

“He’s never given me no impres

the pint-sized ex-pugilist today.
“He likes to ask me about a lot of

2nd Lt. Smith: “You know, all this
sleet and snow and ice reminds me of the
A&M Campus last February.’’
2nd Lt. Jones: “Yeh; but if they’d
told me then that I’d be in this Gori-for
saken country in just nine months. I
wouldn’t have believed it.”
Smith: “No, me neither. But I do
remember a guy there at A & M sug
gesting the possibility—and it was just
last February, too. He was trying to sell
me something, and I figured it was just
ft part of his high-pressure sales talk.”
Jones: “That wasn’t an insurance sales
man, was it?”
Smith: “Sure was. Seems like his
name was Rush, or something like that.”
Jones: “Old Rush. Why that’s the man
I bought my $5,000 policy from. Eugene
Rush. He arranged the policy so that I
■ didn’t have to pay but a dollar or two
■ a month until after I got out of school. . .
I-Ie told me then that there’d be some guys
who, wouldn’t start thinking about life
insurance until they got pinned down in a
foxhole. ... I guess you bought from Rush,
didn't, you?”
Smith: “No, I got by him! I stalled
him off a couple of times by saying that
I wanted to think it over; one time by
saying that I wanted to talk to my folks
about it; and after that I just went across
on the other side of the street when I saw
him coming. . . . But I don’t need any life
insurance—not even now. I’ve always lead
what my little wife calls a charmed life.
Why, I've been on the front lines now for
four weeks straight and haven’t even been

Jones: .“What was that you said,
Smith? . . Smith, what’s the matter? Lord,
that sniper got him right beween the
eyes!”

They had dinner together Sun
day night, and last night they
went to a gathering at a private
home. There were 150 or so
there, including a number of pro
minent movie folk.
Jane Russell acknowledged that
she was one.
Graham said he talked of God
and Communism and “How to be
a Christian.”
“We sang Christian songs and
prayed,” he added. He admitted he
would like to convert Cohen.
But Cohen, said it was no revival
session.
“They talked about Commun
ism, and about Communism being
against God,” said the man who
often is called top figure in
gambling hereabouts.
“But Billy didn’t try to convert
me. In the first place, I’m a Jew.
I go to the synagogue once in

he’d try to convert me.”
Cohen was asked about reports
that he might go to Fort Worth,
with. Graham for revival meetings
starting Sunday.
“Definitely not,” he s a i d.
“When we had dinner a couple of
nights ago, I told Billy my wife
and I had been to a dude ranch
near Tucson and had a fine rest.
“He said ‘I’d spre like to rest at
a place like that.’ And I said if he
wanted to go, we’d be glad to go
along.”
A source close to Graham said
the evangelist would “be happy
if he could make Cohen a good,
moral man and a good Jew.”
Graham departs today for Fort
Worth. Cohen, of course, has been
to Texas before. His last visit was
several months ago when the Texas
Rangers give him the bum’s rush
by asking him to leave the state.
Homer Garrison, head of the
Texas State police force, inform
ed of the reported Cohen Visit,
commented:
“It appears the Lord is work
ing in devious ways his wonders to
perform.
“If the guy (Cohen) has got
ten religion, it would present us
with an unusual situation.”
Garrison said he would adopt a
“wait and see’ policy.

Sacred Music
Concert Slated
By Lutherans
A sacred music concert will
be presented Thursday at
7:30 p. m. at Bethel Luther
an Church in Bryan by the
nationally famous Baganz
Trio, said Rev. W. C. Petersen,
pastor.
The trio, which features a harp
valued at $10,000, a marimba, a
vibraharp, and chimes is the only
one of its type in the United
States. It was established 14 years
ago by three members of St. John’s
Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod,
at Plymouth Wisconsin by Otto
Baganz, Reuben Baganz, and Rho-
da Baganz.
Since that time the trio has
played more than 3,000 concerts
in 21 states. This musical group
has played many return engage
ments. and is always in demand by
churches.
Otto Baganz, the founder, began
playing the harp when he was
nine years old. After his many
years of study and application, he
has acquired a brilliant technique
over one of the most, difficult
musical instruments to conquer,
Rev. Petersen said.
Baganz’ harp was displayed at
the Hall of Religion at the Cen
tury Exposition in 1933-34 at Chi
cago. It was purchased by him after
the closing of the exhibit.
Miss Baganz plays H»e vibraharp
and the chimes, while Reuben Ba
ganz plays the Inarimba.
The general public is invited to
attend, the pastor added.
