Shawnee's new spirit may be God-given
AN EDITORIAL
What Shawnee is doing for herself in the "Save Jonco"
effort together with what others from outside Shawnee
are doing to assist has captured imagination and in-
terest far and wide as the word spreads A salesman said he
was in Ada Wednesday and could scarcely do any business
with his customer because that Ada businessman was so
excited over the Shawnee story
We know hnw it has been aroused in Oklahoma City
with announcovent of E K Gaylord's gift of $7000 to the
"Jonco" fund We know how our smaller neighboring
communities feel toward Shawnee as gifts have been re-
ported coming from Meeker in excess of $1000 from Mc-
Loud with $800 from Prague where 17 businesses mil
tributed 643 Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce officials
made it known Wednesday they might t xceed the $3000
goal they have set for themselves Surely the old courthouse
feud must be dead and buried for good with Tecumseh
men joining hands with Shawnee in the "Jonco saving"
Even the Treasury Department in Washington is bending
over backwards by extending the deadline for raising the
money required
The list of donors is snowballing with rapidity now
that smaller individual gifts are being collected and 100
firms listed where employes have all subscribed Before the
final gift is made certain there will likely be an unprece-
dented community cooperation shown with every name on
the giving list Think what it means when 135 former em-
ployes of the Jonco plant meet together and subscribe $1-
014 from their pockets to the fund I Think what an image
that presents to outsiders!
It may well be that this cooperative effort was God-
given to Shawnee for it has served to unite the city as it
has seldom been before And what can stop a united city?
That is what is capturing the imagination of outsiders
today
That is the spirit that will carry Shawnee to even
greater achievements in the decade of the sixties
Floor leader to enter
fax raising legislation
By LARRY OSIUS
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Rep Leland Wolf of Noble volunteered himself Wed-
nesday to bear the brunt of introducing new tax legislation
The House floor leader said he would shoulder the dis-
tasteful task of having his name attached to a flock of
revenue raising measures necessary to finance a bigger
program
Some of the bills will be Only s "
for a 2-year period Wolf said in a woman fates
press conference called by Speak-
er of the House J D McCarty fraud charge
And none will be recommended I
for a vote of the people
"We definitely don't want them
offered to the public" Wolf said
"If we were to submit them and
they are defeated we would be
in terrible shape We wouldn't
dare come back and try to raise
taxes and in that event there
would be no program particularly
for highways"
McCarty and Wolf both said
Wolf will carry the ball in order
to get all possible tax raising
measures out in the open as soon
as possible
"Thenthe Revenue and Taxa-
tion Committee can carry out or-
derly public hearings on all of
these proposals" McCarty said
Wolf said all five of Gov J
Howard Edmondson's suggested
means of raising more money
would be introduced He said oth-
er possibilities might include
knocking out exemptions from the
state sales tax Introduction of
bills will begin next week he
said
Edmondson proposed two budg-
ets One would fit the anticipat-
ed revenue of $220 million The
other was for $268 million and of

WASHING'rON (2) —President
Eisenhower urged the incoming
Kennedy administration Wednes-
day to keep America "strong and
firm and yet conciliatory" in
meeting the global challenge of
communism
The retiring president in an
amiable mood closed out his
White House news 'conferences
with a wide-ranging discussion of
domestic and foreign problems It
was his 193rd meeting with re-
porters as president and 305
newsmen turned out
Today Eisenhower will con-
fer with President-elect John F
Kennedy to wrap up final details
of the transition from the old Re-
publican to the new Democratic
administration On Friday he will
go out of office when Kennedy
takes the presidential oath at
noon

Joe Bailey Cobb's
speech stirs senator
OKLAHOMA CITY (Al Pot-
tawatomie County's road program
was defended on the Senate floor
Wednesday by Sen Ralph Graves
Shawnee
Graves was stirred by a remark
by Sen Joe Bailey Cobb that Pot-
taawatomie County was one of a
few which probably were getting
more than their share of road
money for the next two years
Cobb chairman of the roads and
highway commission said the
Highway Commission plans to
throw too much money into some
counties and doesn't have any
projects scheduled this year or
next for 32 counties
Graves said the big highway
project in Pottawatomie County is
Interstate 40 which is to run from
Oklahoma City east to Tort Smith
Ark
Graves said this is a much need-
ed road as far as Shawnee resi-
dents are concerned
"We have 400 to 500 carloads of
people coming from the Shawnee
area to Tinker Field" he said
"We have not received a dime
of the money (highway funds)
more than we deserve We do not
intend in the future to get more
than our share"

A bill bringing Oklahoma's un-

was passed by the Senate Wed-

The bill was passed 35-0 after
Sen Don Baldwin of Anadarko
said Oklahoma had only until Jan
31 - to conform with federal re-
quirement or be severely hurt
The bill now goes to the gover-
nor In 1959 Oklahoma increased the
maximum amount and number of
weeks an eligible unemployed
person could draw benefits The
change was to $32 a week and 39
weeks
However the U S Secretaary

error must be corrected to make
the Oklahoma law conform He
held that unless the correction
was made by Jan 31 enaployers

this terrible problem that is none
of our making"
Eisenhower said he believes his
greatest achievement lies in hav-
ing developed policies that kept
the peace when weakness might
have plunged the world into a dis-
astrous war
His formula he said lay in
"the kind of understanding and
firmness and readiness to take
the risk" that prevented a de-
structive clash with the Commu-
nist bloc
The President said his greatest
disappointment came in "the fact
that we could not in these eight
years get to the place where we
could say it now looks as if per-
manent peace with justice is real-
ly in sight"
Eisenhower made his proposal
for a shift in inaugural stnd elec-

Rayburn earns
House victory
WASHINGTON (11') — House
TT flOLSfl1Z A JP!
: Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas
won a resounding and bloodless
first-round victory Wednesday in
his fight for control of the power-
: ful House Rules Committee
At a Democratic caucus marked
ly devoid of bickering he rammed'
through a resolution to boost the
committee's membership in a way
designed to take away from a
coalition of R epublic an s and
Southern Democrats control over
the flow of major legislation
' The resolution was shouted
through at one of the briefest
caucuses in party history-15 min-
utes It would increase the size of
the Rules Committee from eight
Democrats and four Republicans
! to ten Democrats and five Repub-
licans This could break the legis-
lative grip now held by the four
Republicans and two Southern
Democrats Assuming that backers
of President-elect John F Ken-
nedy's legislative program are as-
signed to the two Democratic
vacancies this would provide
easier House sailing for such bills
In effect the resolution was a
compromise worked out by war-
ring factions to avoid the more
drastic step of purging one of the
Southern Democrats Rep Wil-
liam M Colmer of Mississippi
Rayburn In his determination to
regain control of the committee
had approved the purge procedure
as a last resort
That the compromise was a sat-
isfactory face-saving move for all
concerned was obvious
Rep Howard W Smith of Vir-
ginia Rules Committee chairman
who had opposed the increase as
a "packing" proposal told the
caucus he would yield to its 1
wishes and would have the resolu-
tion approved by his committee I
as soon as the committee is for-
mally constituted

Russell said the rule also ap-
plied to nine other Defense De-
partment nominee who were
questioned by the committee in
the past two days They have
received conditional approval
pending their written promises
to get rid of all defense stocks
Russell said
McNamara former president

his Ford stock when he accepted
the designation by Kennedy Mc-
Namara then prbpoged putting
his receipts--$11 million after
