Business Slow
For Legislature
Recess Is Planned
Before School Vote
OKLAHOMA CITY. March 28 -
(IP— Relatively little work awaited
Oklahoma lawmakers entering
their 48th day of the cur
rent session today, as both houses
convened for a short three-day
week prior to the April 5 special
election on the proposed school
finance amendment.
Legislators will recess Wednes-
day until April 6. allowing time to
discuss with voters the amend-
ment, which would allow school
districts to increase ad valorem
taxes.
Governor Raymond Gary has
been practically the only voice
heard on the matter so far, but
campaigning is expected to get into
full sway this week. So far, no ac
live opposition has developed.
Resolution Passed
State chapters of the league of
Young Democrats are forming be-
hind the amendment, and the or-
ganization's 16,000 members will
make stump speeches in a door-to-
door campaign before the election.
The LYD executive committee
passed a resolution here yesterday
commending Gary for pressing the
issue and urging voters to approve
it. President Dean Rinehart was
named chairman of a special cam-
paign committee selected to appro-
priate a $250 campaign fund.
Before adjourning, the house may
consider two measures which af
feet oil producers. One is a bill to
set a minimum allowable of 25
barrels per day, the other an anti-
stream pollution bill.
Bill Is Amended
The allowable bill earlier w'as
amended to conform to a similar
senate measure, which is still be-
fore the oil and gas committee.
State Senator Boyd Cowden (Dem-
ocrat, Chandler), committee chair-
man, was expected to announce
a final public hearing on the sen-
ate bill this week.
Also in the house. State Repre-
sentative Robert 0. Cunningham
was scheduled to introduce for the
second time a resolution calling
for investigation of spending prac-
tices of county commissioners. He
said if the proposal were killed as
one was last week by the house
rules committee, he would put the
matter before the house member-
ship.
The senate's two main unsettled
issues, prohibition repeal and a
super-control institutions board,
appeared dying, lacking adminis-
tration support.

“ow" is not inatrhed irt the tongue
of Moses.
Only in the past few months did
an urgent need arise for the word.
It came after Hi young farmers
took a course at the Agricultural
Station and returned to their vil-
ages adept in lassoing, hard riding
and rounding up steers.
They don't copy the dress of the
American cowboy. A Bedouin ko-
fieh is wrapped around the head
as a substitute for the 10-gallon
hat. Instead of levis, they wear
khaki pants wide enough to let a
draft through. But the more am-
bitious ones have asked that the
next village budget provide the
price of high heeled boots.
The two main ranches in Israel
both slope down to the River Jor-
dan.
Grazing land at Kfar Rtippin, a
collective in the valley of torrid
Beth Shaan. lies flat between vol-
canic hills. Rich grasses grow in
this hut, damp plain which was
fertle in the days of stonc-agc man.
Point Four Helped
The ancient mound of Beth
Shaan towers to the west, with its
Roman amphitheatre and ruins
piled since the reign of Solomon.
The cattle of Kfar Ruppin nuinch
the coarse herbage on the Jordan's
brink, oblivious of ancient history
The second largo ranch, dubbed
‘Operation Cowboy," covers roll-
ing hills on the shore of Lake Ti-
berias. The homestead is near Ca-
pernaum, where a church marks
the miracle of the loaves and
fishes Black basalt thrown up by
volcanic disturbances before Bible
times has been used to build the
church and the Basilica of the
Beatitudes which tops the mount
overlooking Lake Tiberias.
This ranch owes its existence to
fodder to make one kilo of chicken,
hut only one kilo of fodder to pro-
duce the same weight of beef.
Cattle can graze on natural pas-
ture all year, cxccpl for the driest
season before the winter rains. But
due to governmental hesitation,
coupled with farmers’ timidity, no
more than 10,000 head chew the
native grass today.
The herds were mothered four
years ago by a consignment of
dark gray Indian cows. Brahmins,
which had the advantage of resist-
ing malaria. The acclimatized at
Acre Agricultural Station and soon
felt quite at home by the Jordan
instead of the Ganges. The Brah-
mins are being cross-bred with
meatier European pedigree rattle,
and later the Aere station will
cross-breed them with local Arab
cows which withstand tick fever
and drying heat.
For a long time to come, meat
will have to be imported under
subsidy so the poorest family can
enjoy at least 100 gram on festival
eve The comfortably off think
nothing of paying exorbitant prices
for steak.
For a cowboy with capital and
enterprise, there is no ceiling on
opportunity in Israel today.

BACK TO STEADA—"Twenty-five miles to the gallon of water"
the man said, and he wasn't kidding. Charles Keen made this
boast while explaining the steam-powered car he built that has
no gear shift or clutch—and runs on water. Other features of
the car, which cost Keen 13 years and $100,000, are "no exhaust
and doesnt make any noise.” Keen, who owns a die and stamp-
ing business in Madison, Wis, is pictured above in hie hand-made
car showing where the gear shift isn't.

NEW YORK, March 28—GD—Rail-
roads and airlines were higher to-
day in a stock market that other-
wise was mixed to lower in the
late afternoon.
Prices spread over a range
around 2 points higher or lower.
Most changes were small.
The irregularity of the market
put a damper on trading, and busi-
ness amounted to an estimated 2,-
700,000 shares. The best volume
was amassed during periods of ris-
ing prices. The total, however, was
above Friday's 2,540,000 shares.

sure they had no other weapons.
However, they had stolen the
guards' keys and had the run of
the security building's top two
floors.
The first floor, known as the
"hole,” was inaccessible to the con-
victs.
If they tried to make an escape,
their only possible route would be
through a single door and down an
outside stairway.
Anderson said "if any prisoner
tries to come out of that door,
there’ll be a 50-gun salute.”
On* Is Murderer
The convicts captured Miller
first, apparently grabbing him
around the neck from behind the
bars of a locked cell and stealing
his keys. Swanson entered the
building later and probably found
all 12 prisoners freed from their
cells.
A third guard entered the door,
sensed something was wrong, and
ducked out before he could bd cap-
tured.
The embattled prisoners were
the hard "tough” core of the peni-
tentiary's 760 inmates and had been
placed in the security building for
violation of prison rules.
One of the rebels, Joe Beadcs,
30, of Kansas City, Mo., is serving a
life term for murder. Another, Jo-
seph Rogue, 31, Winnebago, Neb.,
was due to be transferred to a
mental institution after being con-
victed for assault with intent to
rape.
