I whakawhiwhia ia mo te whakawakanga i nga hara o te pakanga o Hapanihi i mua i nga kooti hoia i muri i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, ka hoki ki Kentucky me tana mahi ture. I te tau 1951, i tohua ia e te Kawana a Lawrence Wetherby ki te whakakii i tetahi waahi i te Kooti Whakapono o Kentucky. I muri mai i taua tau, i pootihia ia mo te wa katoa i te kooti, i te wikitoria i te kawana o mua me te kaiwhakawa a Simeon S. Willis. I wehewehea te Rōpū Manapori o Kentucky ki nga roopu e rua i te tau 1955 i te wa i whiriwhiria ai e Earle C. Clements, te kaiarahi o tetahi roopu, a Combs ki te wero i te kawana o mua me te Kaunihera o Amerika a A. B. Ko "Happy" Chandler, nāna i ārahi i tētahi atu, i roto i te pōtitanga tuatahi o te kāwana.  Pātai: No whea mai a Combs?
