The faculty of Webster High

A huge mass of icy air, bar-

Death Suit
Restrictions
To Be Studied
Several legislative proposals
including a controversial bill to I
restrict filing of wrongful death
suits in Creek and Seminole
counties will be considered at i
the Oklahoma Bar Association
annual meeting Wednesday in
Tulsa.
The subject of much debate
at the bar's meeting in July
and deferred to this meeting
the bill, if approved, will be
submitted to the 1967 legislature
for consideration.
It sets out rules to determine
the proper county of venue for
such cases. The bill, while the
proposal does not actually say
so, is designed to reduce the
number of cases of wrongful
death which can be filed in the
two counties.
Jury award records In both
counties reflect a generosity to-
wards those filing such suits In-
consistent with awards in the
75 other counties in the state,
critics say.
On the other side of the coin,
some contend that attorneys in
the two counties are more spec-
ialized in handling such cases
and win larger jury awards be-
cause they are better equipped
to match skills of opposing law-
yers.
The meeting will be held at
1:30 p.m. Wednesday in Mayo
Hotel's Crystal ballroom.
Delegates will also vote on a
resolution urging the legislature
to approve major pay increases
for appellate court justices, dis-
trict court judges and their
staffs. Pay Increases in the re-
solution include to $35,000 for
Supreme Court and Court of
Criminal Appeals Justices; $25 -
000 for District Court Judges.
$15,000 for refrees of the Su-
preme Court and $12,000 to $15-
000 for legal assistants to justice
and judges.
Bar president Leroy Black-
stock, Tulsa, said the pay ts
necessary to attract men of
“good character, great ability
and unswerving dedication to
the highest ideals of justice.”
The pay raises would raise
the level of renumeration for
judges and justices in Oklaho-

LBJ, Mexican
President Set
Border Meet
AUSTIN, Tex. fUPI) _
President Johnson and Pres-
ident Gustavo Diaz Odazr of
Mexico will meet Saturday on
the Mexican-U S. border, it was
learned today.
There was no White House
confirmation of the meeting, but
sources in the border communi-
ty of Del Rio, Tex. said there
would be a meeting there.
Informed sources said former
Mexican President Adolfo Lopez
Mateos may also take part in
the meeting on the border of
the Mexican town of Ciudad
Acuna.
Johnson and his wife Lady
Bird made a state visit to
Mexico last April and were
given a tumultuous reception.
Lopez Mateos had previously
been a guest of President
Johnson at the LBJ Ranch.
Sources said that the leaders
would meet on the Mexican side
12 miles up the Rio Grande and
would inspect the Amistad
Dam a joint international
endeavor.
The dam was first conceived
under the former administration
of Presidents Eisenhower in the
U S. and Mateos in Mexico.
Parking Change Thursday
Free parking in downtown Sa
pul pa will begin Thursday on a
two months trial basis, acting
city manager Charles Pilgrim
said Tuesday.
Being tried is a business
booster, two hour parking times
will be allowed. Sapulpa police
department will rigidly inforce
the time limit by marking tire
treads.
Regular overtime parking fin-
es will be assessed, 50 cents
for each offense if paid within
24 hours or $1 per offense if not,
Pilgrim said.
Meters will be covered with
sacks during the test period
from Dec. 1 to Jan. 31. Paper
bags will be used the first week
with cloth covers expected next
week.
In order that a true test of
the value of free parking may
be obtained employes of down-
town businesses and offices are
urged not to abuse the privi-
lege., Pilgrim said.

Big Robbery Ring

Egyptian
TAHLEQUAH (UPI) - A
Cherokee County grand jury
apparently has turned its inves-
tigation toward an alleged two-
state robbery ring.
The change was Indicated
Monday when Muskogee Co.
Atty. Paul Ferguson and con-
fessed obber Clarence Batson
testified before the jury.
Ferguson headed the investi-
gation that exposed the alleged-
ing and Batrson turned state's
evidence in several cases.
Charges have been filed in sev-
en counties and are pending in
at least five others.
The appearances by Ferguson
and Batson were surprising be-

Ministry officials said the 19-
year-old monarch was deposed
Monday night by Michel Micom-
bero, hia premier and defense
minister, who announced the
overthrow by a military junta
and said a republic has been
established.
Micombero also announced
that his junta "will maintain all
international undertakings and
our foreign policy will remain
unchanged.” This apparently
meant the new regime would
not restore diplomatic relations
with Red China. Ties with the
Peking regime were broken off
by Ntare's father, King Mwam-
butsa IV, before he was
deposed.

LONDON (UPI) -Prime
Minister Harold Wilson called in
his cabinet and sent emissaries D
off to Washington and Rhodesia wag
today to discuss a possible
negotiated settlement of the
Rhodesian independence crisis.
The cabinet met under Wilson
to consider an offer by
Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian
Smith. Informed sources said
Commonwealth Undersecretary
Sir Morrice James secretly flew
to Salisbury, the Rhodesian
capital, on Wilson's orders to
seek clarification.
Brezhnev branded as “ma-
chinations of the bourgeois
press" reports in Western
newspapers that the aim of a
such a summit conference
would be to “excommunicate
some from our movement.”
“This Is, of course, utter
nonsense," Brezhnev said. "Our
intentioni at such a conference

about the burning issues of
international development. Our
aim is to investigate by
common analysis the sweeping
changes that have taken place
in the past years all over the
world.”

Pro-Peking
Forces Lose
A New Round
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —
The General Assembly today
rejected an attempt to expel
Nationalist China from the
United Nations and seat Red
China in its place.
The vote was 57 to 46 and
followed an unpassioned warn-
ing by Nationalist China that to
admit Peking would only bring
in a "demolition crew” that
could wreck the world organisa-
tion.
Seventeen countries abstained
from the voting.
The vote was on a resolution
sponsored by Albania and 10
other nations to oust Nationalist
China.
The issue became fairly
academic before the actual
vote. The assembly approved
66-48, with 7 abstentions, a U.S.-
backed move to make the
seating of Peking subject to
approval by a two-thirds
majority rather than by a
simple majority. This assured
there could be no victory lor
pro-Peking forces this year.
The final vote today con-
trasted sharply with last year’s
47-47 tie ballot by which a
similar effort to seat Peking
was rejected.
Russia and Its Communist
allies, despite lukewarm support
for Peking during two weeks of
debate, voted down the line for
the Chinese Communists.
Peking scorned the whole
thing. Its denunciation of the
United Nations and ridicule of
moves to win it a seat took
much of the fire from the issue
that has cropped up 16 times in
UN history, always to be
beaten down.
Nationalist China got In what
amounted to the last word

Branscum Fires Back At Steed
SEMINOLE (UPI) - High-
way Commissioner Truman
Branscum fired back at Rep.
Tom Steed Monday in a verbal
battle over 4th district road let-
tings, accusing the congress-
man of trying to divert atten-
tion “from hia ineptness."
Steed had accused Branscum
of "bad faith" in their recent
election campaign which Steed
won by a narrow margin. He
said Branscum had promised
highway projects “all over the
♦th district" prior to the elec-
tion, but that the November let-
tings list contained no projects
for the district.
“It seems to me," Branscum
said, "that Mr. Steed is trying
to draw the people's attention
away from his ineptness in se-
curing projects for the 4th dis-
trict.
"Of the $70 million approved half years I have served on the
for water and navigation devel-
opment in Oklahoma by the
last Congress,” Branscum said,
“not one penny was allocated
to the 4th district.
"During the three and one-
highway commission." he said,
“total contract and mainten-
ance awards for district 4
amounted to over $46 million,
twice the $23 million spent dur-
ing the previous four years.”
the Chinese leaders refuse to
participate in common actions
aimed at aiding the people of
Viet Nam. They are
intentionally or not —helping
the imperialists and hindering
the struggle of Viet Nam.”
