Unless we misread me
Weather vane, we detect a first*
class job of press agentry
In the concern of Gov. Dewey
Bartlett over travel expendi-
tures of state employees.
Let’s reconstruct the case.
First off, Bartlett was quoted as
ordering a look-see into the
$600,000 per month out-of-state
travel expenditures for state em-
ploy es. TTiat figure was shocking
and the wire services and news-
papers in the state took the bait.
Bartlett himself has been in
the news constantly as the “job
gettingist Governor” and his
out-of-state travels immediately
presented a source of side-bar
news to the reporters. They
headed for the state budget
office, and finally the governor’s
office to find out just what all
these industry-hunting trips
were costing. No doubt every
reporter on the state capitol
beat thought to himself “here
Is a real juicy story.”
Then the axe fell. Hie records
show that Bartlett has paid 80
per cent of his own expenses
on these out-of-state industry
jaunts, in fact he has asked
the state to reimburse him only
a total of $552 for a dozen or
so out-of-state trips.
The next blow came when the
state budget office reported the
$600,000 monthly out-of-state
travel was actually a $95,000
monthly figure and that the first
figure included federal travel
funds by federally-supported
state agencies, and included both
in-state and out-of-state allow-
ances.
If you were a Governor, look-
ing for a discreet way to in-
form the people that you were
paying most of your own
expenses on out-of-state trips,
what better manner could you
devise to get the word out than
the way it was handled last week?
Bartlett has a smooth-thinker
on his staff. Could be his name
is Bartlett.
One Held
In Incident
Sapulpa police placed awoman
identified as Pauline Bruner
under arrest on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon
Saturday after a stabbing inci-
dent on East Hobson.
Louise McCarthy, 116 E.
Dewey, was admitted to Bartlett
Hospital Saturday afternoon with
a neck and face wound.
Hospital authorities said Mrs.
McCarthy was in shock and that
x-rays would be taken to deter-
mine the extent of injury.
Police were called to a service
station in the 300 block E Dewey
about 2 p.m. Saturday, where
two men told officers that they
bad seen an Indian woman run
toward the courthouse. A pool of
blood and a partially broken
steak knife were found at the
station.
Police went to the 300 block
E. Hobson, where the incident
allegedly occurred, and found
another blood spattered area and
the remains of the steak knife.
State Ratio Eyed
College Pupil
Non-Resident
Figures Vary
By HARRY CULVER
UPI Capitol Reporter
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) -
Is Oklahoma out of balance in
its ratio of non-resident stu-
dents attending college?
It depends on what figures
you use, the function and loca-
tion of the institution and what
you’re trying to prove.
Oklahoma ranks well below
the nation and Big Eight states
in its percentage of non - resi-
dents students according to a
survey by the U. S. Department
of Health, Education and Wel-
fare.
The survey shows the aver-
age ratio of non • resident stu-
dents attending college in the 50
states is 20 per cent. The same
report lists the Oklahoma ratio
at 16 per cent, making it the
most unpopular among Big
Eight states in attracting out-
of-state students in ratio to to-
tal enrolment.
Colorado’s Ratio Highest
Colorado has the highest ra-
tio of non • resident students
among Big Eight states — 34
per cent. Iowa has 33 per cent,
Missouri 30 per cent, Nebraska
26 per cent, Kansas 22 percent.
Texas is the most unpopular
state in the nation in attract-
ing non • residents in ratio to
total enrolment. Only 10 per
cent of Texas’ college students
come from out of the state.
The figures come from the
latest national survey available
and are based on 1963-64 enrol-
ments. There has been a slight
increase in the Oklahoma ratio
since then — to 17.2 per cent
last year. National figures are
not available for later years,
but the last two similar sur-
veys, in 1949 and 1957, showed
the same national ratio — 20
per cent non-resident.
Governor Is Concerned
Gov. Dewey Bartlett has ex-
pressed concern over recent in-
creases in non - resident enrol-
ment and has suggested hiking
scholastic requirements for out-
of-staters — to trim enrolment
but not keep out high quality
students.
One of Bartlett’s concerns
has been the fact Oklahoma im-
ports more students than it ex-
ports. The HEW survey showed
Oklahoma imported 10,697 stu-
dents in 196 3-64 but exported 7,-
029, a net gain of 3,668 students
Oklahoma had to educate.
The greatest influx of stu-
dents into Oklahoma on a per-
centage basis is in private col-
leges.
Non - resident students made
up 14.5 per cent of the total en-
rolment at state • operated in-
stitutions, 28.2 per cent at pri-
vate and municipal colleges.
Bethany College High
Bethany Nazarene College
with 1,757 students had the
greatest ratio of imports in the
state. Seventy - three per cent
of its students come from out
of the state.
Some institutions appear to
draw higher ratios because of
their function. At the Oklaho-
ma State University School of
Veterinary Medicine, 38.3 per
cent of the students are non-
residents.

A progress report on Fire
Station No. 2 and appointments
to two boards highlight the Sa-
pulpa City Commission agenda
at the regular mid-month meet-
ing Monday night.
The session begins at 7:30
p.m. iu city hall.
Bill Schneider, architect on
Fire Station No. 2, will report
to commissioners on the status
of the project.
Mayor Robert Lindley is
scheduled to appoint a member
to the Board of Zoning Adjust-
ment, to replace Cecil Me
Crackin, and two members to
the Recreation Board to succeed
Dr. Tom Ritchie and Bob Burris,
whose terms have expired as
has McC rackin’s.
Ordinances to be considered
will be one prohibiting burning
in city limits except in inciner-
ators for commercial use, and
another requiring a permit be-
fore construction of inciner-
ators.
Also on the agenda is a dis-
cussion of the possibility of Sa-
pulpa joining the Central Okla-
homa Economic Development
District (COEDD). Creek county
commissioners last week voted
to continue their participation
in COEDD.
File Death Still Mystery
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) -
A 19-year-old dental assistant
was found raped and stabbed
to death in her home Jan. 5,
1963. Her badly mutilated body
was burning when Oklahoma
City police arrived to investi-
gate a house fire.
The case of Judith File was
never solved. No charges were
filed and no trial was ever
held.
A survey of law enforcement
records reveals more than 50
cases similar to Judy File’s re-
main open in Oklahoma. The
killers, unless dealt with for
another crime or by fate, are
free. In many cases there was
no motive, no clue — only
death.
Oklahoma County had the
most, with at least seven un-
solved homicides since Betty
Jack Stevens was savagely as-
saulted and killed in July 1952.
Miss Stevens’ decapitated
body was found near Yukon

Slaying Night's
Event Recounted
Rockefeller Tells United
Fund
Grows
Supporters: Quit
NEW YORK (UPI)-Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller who,
according to a recent poll could
defeat President Johnson in the
1968 election, asked his suppor-
ters Saturday to stop trying to
win him the Republican pres-
idential nomination.
In a carefuUy worded letter to
leaders of separate Rockefeller
for president movements here
and in New Hampshire, the
New York governor said his
candidacy would be ‘‘divisive
and destructive and defeating”
for tiie party and the country.
Bui Rockefeller’s New York
supporters said his request did
not ‘‘change our positional all.”
The New Hampshire group will
meet next week to decide
whether to continue its efforts
to place Rockefeller’s name on
the stale’s first-in-the-nation
primary next March.
United Fund contributions hit
the 87 per cent mark Friday
with $32,000 now counted,
according to drive chairman
John Pariseau.
Pariseau said Bartlett-Collins
Co. employes checked in with
a considerable increase over
last year to boost the fund.
Many are in the payroll deduc-
tion plan, he noted.
This year’s goal is $37,235.
Officially, the UF campaign
was conducted Oct. 3-6, but many
of the payroll deduction reports
have been delayed in coming in.
This is the first year for the
plan.
Eight agencies share intheUF
effort.
MERIDIAN, Miss. (UPI)-An
elderly Baptist minister testi-
fied Saturday he had heard on
the very same night that three
civil rights workers were slain
that they had been arrested
earlier in Neshoba County for
speeding.
But the Rev. Wiley Akins, 74,
said none of the 18 white men
on trial for conspiracy in the
triple slaying told him about the
arrest of Michael Schwerner,
Andrew Goodman and Negro
James Chaney on June 21,1964.
“Somebody said something to
me about it, but I don’t
remember who,’’ said Akins,
who thought he recalled hearing
about the arrests following
services that night at the
Fellowship Baptist Church in
Philadelphia Miss.
U.S. District Judge Harold
Cox recessed the trial early
Saturday afternoon after hear-
ing 12 defense witnesses, most
of whom appeared as character
witnesses for 18, who include a
Kux Klux Klan chieftain and
four law enforcement officers.
The trial wiU enter its seventh
day when defense testimony
resumes at 10 a.m. Monday.
Another key defense witness
Saturday was Mrs. Audine
Burr age, wife of defendant Olen
L. Burrage, a 37-year-old
Philadelphia trucking contrac-
tor who owned the farm on which
the bodies of the three slain
civil rights workers were
discovered. Mrs. Burrage said
her husband was attending a
Father’s Day party in their
home on the day of the slaying.
“My husband was ailing that
day,” said Mrs. Burrage, a
statuesque blonde dressed in a
bright orange suit. “His back
was hurting him.”
After the party, Mrs. Burrage
said, she and her husband went
to evening services at the
Fellowship Church where they
spoke briefly with Akins.
Akins, who obviously sur-
prised the 12 defense attorneys
with his testimony, recalled
Burrage "saying something
about it being a pretty night.”
At that point, Akins recalled
that he had been told by
someone that Sunday that
Schwerner, Goodman and Cha-
ney had come to Neshoba
County that same night to
investigate the arson burning of
a Negro Methodist church.
and her head and hands were
discovered in the South Canadi-
an river. Investigators said she
died of multiple stab wounds.
The attacker carved the word
“RAT” on her stomach.
Golden Kennedy, longtime
state crime bureau agent, re-
called the case of Lois Depew
in 1953. Some bones found with
a skull near Tuttle were iden-
tified as those of tne victim,
but again no charges ... no
trial.
Kennedy said in a number of
cases the decomposed body
was never identified.
“If you can’t identify the vic-
tim, you can bet it’s hard to
find a killer,” Kennedy said.
Capt. I. G. Purser, head of
records in the Oklahoma City
police department, reported the
murder of a woman named
Miller remains unsolved from
the 1958 files.
“We never did file any
charges on that one,” Purser
said.
Crime bureau officials added
Billy Gene Schafer to the un-
solved homocides list. Mrs.
Schafer was found near a stock
pond on East Reno Street in
Oklahoma City.
Authorities had reason to be-
lieve an unidentified man had
been killed on Missouri Street
in Oklahoma City, but said the
body had been found outside of
the county.
Crime Bureau agents report-
ed at least seven unsolved cas-
es in Oklahoma pointed out
the seven Oklahoma County
cases are only those they had
been asked to work.
Record Pecan
JERUSALEM (UPI)- Israeli
and Jordanian tanks, infantry
and artillery blazed away at
each other across the River
Jordan Saturday in a 45-minute
firefight that marred the
solemn stillness of an Israel
observing its holy day of
atonement.
Israeli officials reported one
Israeli wounded. Broadcasts by
Amman’s Radio Jordan said
Israeli fire wounded seven
civilians, including three wo-
men, and ruined three buildings.
It said a five-year-old boy was
missing.
The peace of the holy day of
Yom Kippur was shattered
shortly after 8 am. with small
arms firing near the Sheikh
Hussein Bridge and the village
of Sheikh Mohammed near the
Jordan on the Jordanian side of
the river.
Israeli officials said the fire
was concentrated on Israeli
troops camped on the west
bank, in territory formerly held
by Jordan. They returned the
fire with tanks and light arms
and the fighting escalated into a
sharp clash for 45 minutes.
(Arab dispatches to Beirut,
Lebanon, said the fighting
lasted one hour, and that Israeli
forces suffered casualties and
losses of military equipment.)
The shooting was the only
incident reported on Yom
Kippur as Jews converged on
Old Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall
for penitential prayers. Until
the June 5-10 war when Israel
seized the Jordanian sector of
the city, the wall had been
forbidden to the Jews of Israel.
New Con Thien
Assault Repelled
SAIGON (UPI)-U.S. Marines
leapfrogging by helicopter Sa-
turday pursued a North Vietna-
mese force retreating after
battering Leatherneck defenders
around Con Thien in a savage
artillery and infantry attack
that killed or wounded about 60
Americans.
The Marines repulsed (he
ground assault by nearly 1,000
North Vietnamese troops in a
pre-dawn battle that saw the
Communists hurl smoke and
teargas grenades in a futile
effort to dislodge the Americans
from their strategic hilltop
fortress just below the Demili-
tarized Zone(DMZ).
At dawn the Communists
broke off the battle and pulled
back toward the west. Marine
forces hopped off by helicopters
to positions where they hoped to
cut off the withdrawing North
Vietnamese regulars.
U.S. officials said the Marines
lost 24 dead and more than 35
wounded in the battle fought
under the eerie light of flares.
North Vietnamese casualties
were not immediately known.
In a tragic accident near the
battlefield, a Marine jet mis-
takenly dropped two 500 pound
bombs on the Marines’ lines.
Two Marines were killed and 21
wounded by the bombs.
Over North Vietnam, U.S jets
keeping up a fierce air offensive
bombed three of North Viet-
nam's six known MIG bases
Friday in a day of heavy raids
that saw U.S. planes strike in
154 missions against northern
targets.
American pilots bombed and
strafed MIG air bases at Kep,
Hoa Lac, and Kien An, which is
located only five miles south at
Haiphong. They also bombed a
boat repair facility on an island
44 miles east of Haiphong.
In delayed report, U.S.
military spokesmen reported an
Air Force F4 Phantom jet was
shot down Thursday and both
its crewmen missing, bringing
to 698 the number of American
planes shot down in the war.
Flocks of surface - to - air
(SAM) missiles were shot up at
the American pilots. But U.S.
Navy pilots returning from
bombing runs around Haiphong,
said North Vietnam may be
running short of the SAM’s
which have already shot down
scores of American planes over
the north.
Still Get “Sammed”
The pilots said the possible
shortage was confined to the
Haiphong area. They said they
still "get sammed to death” on
raids around the capital city of
Hanoi.
In Two Weeks
HONG KONG (UPI)-British
armored cars rolled up to the
border between Hong Kong and
Communist China Saturday
night following the kidnaping at
a British police inspector by
Communist Chinese farmers.
The government reported 30
to 40 Communist Chinese
farmers dragged the British
official across the border into
China after British authorities
refused to comply with the
farmers’ demands that a fence
be taken town at Man Kam To.
Withhold Name
The inspector’s name was
withheld by the government. He
was the first British national to
become involved in the Commu-
nist-inspireo disorders which
have plagued the British crown
colony since summer. He
became the eighth person to be
kidnaped and taken into China
in two weeks.
Elsewhere in Hong Kong,
Communist bomb attacks Satur-
day injured 20 persons,bringing
the two-day casualty toll to two
dead and 53 wounded. The
bombings and abductions were
the worst wave at Communist
terror in Hong Kong since the
sominer.
Communist terrorists planted
more than 300 framhc in
virtually every section of Hong
Kong. About 63 of the bombs
were real, police reported.
Guevara's Brother Says
Inal Contested
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -Shir-
ley Kay Halliburton Morris, 26,
Dayton, Ohio, who claims to be
the daughter of the late oilman
Earle P. Halliburton, Friday
filed suit for part of bis $4 mil-
lion trust fund.
Mrs. Morris claimed in her
superior court suit that she was
born in Oklahoma in 1941, 10
years before Halliburton’s wife,
Vida, died. She contended she
is entitled to part of the trust
fund because she allegedly is
the daughter of Halliburton and
Memory Bloomfield.
Halliburton established a fund
for five children before he died
Oct. 13, 1957, but did not men-
tion a sixth child. Mrs. Morris
is suing the five children and
the trustees of Halliburton's
estate.

TUCUMAN, Argentina (UPI)
— The brother of Communist
revolutionary Ernesto (Che)
Guevara Saturday denied as “a
farce” the Bolivian govern-
ment’s report that the guerrilla
leader was shot and killed.
Roberto Guevara, 36, said on
his return from Bolivia that the
guerrilla kiUed last Sunday in a
clash with U.S.-trained Bolivian
Rangers was someone else.
He said he was convinced that
“the alleged death (of Ernesto)
was a farce that the Bolivian
government wiU find it difficult
to maintain.”
Roberto arrived in Tucuman,
a northern Argentine town, en
route home to Buenos Aires
where Guevara was raised and
began a revolutionary career
that took him to Cuba with
Fiedel Castro.
When he dropped from sight
two years ago, Castro hinted
that Guevara was off to foment
Red rebellion in South America.
Display Photos
Bolivian officials displayed
photographs of the bearded
guerrilla slain in southeast
Bolivia and brought newsmen to
the town of Vallegrande to view
the partially embalmed body. It
had features similar to those of
Guevara.
The government said finger-
prints from Argentina matched
those of the body. The body
then was buried, after prayers
by a Roman Catholic priest,
according to official announce-
ments.
But when Roberto flew to
Bolivia Thursday to see for
himself, he was told that the
body had been cremated.
President Rene Barrientos of
Bolivia said the cremation was
ordered by the armed forces
and the body had been burned
Tuesday morning.
Respected Attorney
Roberto, a respected attorney
in Buenos Aires, had hoped for
permission to see the body and
decide for himself whether it
was his brother.
BOLIVIAN officials are giving out thfs photo of the fare of
the man they claim was Ernesto Guevara, killed in a skirmish
in Bolivia. He was for !y Fidel Castro’s right-hand man.
