We watched a newspaper car-
rier boy climb aboard his bike
and ride out of the yard with
a look of disgust on his face.
We stopped him at the curb
and inquired what was the prob-
lem?
"Those people just told me to
come back at the end of the
week for their paper bill. They
do this about half the time.
Most times it takes three trips
before I can raise a lousy buck-
fifty” was his justified com’
plaint.
We have often thought that ev-
eryone should at one time be
reouired to deliver a newspaper
re- 'e. Those people who find
it >o convenient to tell a young-
ster to "come backlater” would
scream to high heavens if their
own paycheck was delayed a week
or so.
Yet they have no compunc-
tion when it comes to telling
a carrier boy to wait a few
days.
In the days of draft card burn-
ing. riots, uninhibited teenage
dress and manners, it is en-
couraging to see a youngster
who has enough guts and gump-
tion to plod around a paper
route in all kinds of weathei
for the opportunity to earn a
few dollars.
Take a look around at the wel-
fare lines. Inquire of the peo-
ple who are unable to provide
for themselves. You’ll be su-
prised to learn that few if any
delivered papers.

HARVEY, a popular comedy, is the Sapulpa High school
Junior class play to be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday in the
high school auditorium. Among the cast members are, from
left, Betty Blake, student director; Janis Updike, Trey Gil-
liam (in front); Kay Pinkston, Stan Carver (holding hacksaw),
and Rufus Forrest. (Staff Photo)
You’ll find, on the other hand,
that the heads of families who
do the best job of providing tor
their youngsters, the folks who
make the best citizens, pay the
taxes, and head up the unions,
run the businesses, are quite
likely to be ex-newspaper car-
riers,
Think this is far-fetched? Just
make a little check for your-
self. You’ll have an awakening.
It is a fact that a carrier boy
who spends a minimum of 18
months to two years on a paper
route will obtain training worth
additional thousands of dollars
of earnings in adult years. Even
a few months on a route is
beneficial, but a boy starts ob-
taining the greatest benefit after
he has gone through both the
heat of summer and cold of
winter, chasing down a few er-
rant customers, and has had
to put forth effort to learn the
fundamentals of salesmanship.
Those who quit after a couple
or three months only emphasize
their own weaknesses.
Sure, sometimes the paper
is late, or in the wrong place.
But where in this day of dimin-
ishlng concern do you get as
much service for as relative
small expense as from a news-
paper carrier?
It is a privilege for you to
be doing business with a future
business leaderofAmericawhen
he comes to collect for his ser-
vices. The least you can do is
be as prompt with his pay as
your employer is with yours.

Inquiry A
Witchhunt
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)-
State Treasurer Leo Winters
said Monday a probe of his of-
fice is “a political witchhunt,”
and asked the state supreme
court to issue guidelines re-
stricting the inquiry.
Winters said the investigating
committee appointed by Repub-
lican Gov. Dewey Bartlett was
limited by law to determing
whether all cash in the treasur-
er’s office was accounted for
and whether the treasurer had
misappropriated funds.
The court was asked to issue
guidelines restricting the in-
quiry to the two areas suggest-
ed by Winters and to set a hear-
ing on the request for Dec. 19.
Paul Duncan Sr., attorney for
Winters, said he assumed the
committee would voluntarily
postpone its second session,
scheduled for Friday, until the
matter is heard by the high
court.
Winters said he originally
agreed to let the committee go
beyond its scope in order to
clear his name of false charges.
But, he said, the committee had
gone far afield, even so far as
to inquire about his business ac-
tivities in Alaska and bank
loans before he became treasur-
er.
"This obvious attempt by the
governor and attorney general
to use their offices and the tax-
payers’ money for a political
witchhunt will require plenty of
explaining to the voters if eith-
er of them decide to run for
public office in the future,”
Winters said.
Winters said he was not try-
ing to halt the inquiry but mere-
ly limit it to authority given it
by law.
Bartlett asked the committee
to determine whether Winters
had benefited directly or indi-
rectly by placing of state funds
in banks. The attorney general’s
office is acting as legal counsel
to the committee.
W. R. Wallace Jr., chairman
of the special committee, said
Monday he would not object to
the court setting guidelines.
Percy Shot At; Dewey Says
Escapes VC Fire He" Vet°
SAIGON (UPI)- Communist
guerrillas today attacked U.S,
Sen. Charles Percy and his
wife with motars and rifles in a
jungle village of death far from
American troops.
A helicopter whisked Mrs.
Percy to safety immediately
after the first of five mortar
shells exploded, one within 15
feet of the senator, Percy told
newsmen.
The Hlinois Republican
hugged the ground for 20
minutes with bullets whizzing
overhead. Then, gripping a rifle

away. One hand and both arms
showed bruises and some blood,
apparently caused when Percy
hit the dirt as the shots whizzed
by.
The Percys, touring Vietnam,
went unescorted to Dak Son,
near the Cabodian border and
90 miles northwest of Saigon, to
see the spot where eight days
ago guerrilla flamethrower
squads killed 255 men, women
and children in the war’s
greatest act of terror.

$500 Reported
Taken In Theft
More than $500 in cash wa.^
taken from a service station
in Sapulpa Monday.
Freeway Service Station, 1 N
Mission, operated by Mrs. Dan-
ny Montgomery, reported
$551.73 missing from the sta-
tion.
She told police the incident
occurred sometime between 11
a.m. and 1:15 p.m. The money
was taken from a yellow color-
ed zipper type bag which was
in a desk drawer at the sta-
tion.
The money was mostly in de-
nominations of $20s, and was
tied with a rubber band, Mrs.
Montgomery told police.
SAIGON (UPI)-U.S., South
Vietnamese and South Korean
troops today reported killing at
least 641 Communists in deci-
sive battles on the coast and on
the North Vietnam border.
American spokesmen reported
471 North Vietnamese were
killed by U.S. and government
troops in the six-day battle for
Truong Lam village that ended
in Allied victory Monday. The
Americans, who suffered 33
men killed and 147 wounded,
burned the fortress village’s
thatched huts under which the
Communists had built bunkers.
They left only the Buddhist
altar standing in the burned out
coconut jungle village which the
Communists used as a terror
center.
Near Saigon, Viet Cong
guerrillas ambushed govern-
ment troops in the suburbs and
killed 12 today. Near the
Cambodian border, 90 miles to
the northwest, Communist fire
caught U.S. Sen. Charles Percy
and his wife, Loraine, visiting a
village where terrorists killed
255 civilians in a flamethrower
attack eight days ago.

away with four civilian aides to Gov. Dewey Bartlett said today
a U.S, base nearly two miles he would veto a proposed $37.5
million Income tax Increase if
it reached his desx.
Bartlett commented on re-
ports that legislators would try
to raise additional revenue by
lowering exemptions and re-
moving the federal tax deduc-
tion from state income taxes.
He said such a bill would vio-
late his pledge of being against
a "general tax increase” and
he would veto it
Other matters covered by the
governor at his morning news
conference:
Student Loans — He said he
would ask the legislature to pro-
vide additional funds early in
the 1968 session for the college
loan program. He said he was
still studying whether federal
funds might be available.
Investigation — He declined
comment on a charge by State
Treasurer Leo Winters that
Bartlett and Atty. Gen. G. T.
Blankenship were turning the
investigation of Winters’ office
into "a political witchhunt.”
Conference — He said facul-
ties at Eufaula Lodge were be-
ing checked to determine wheth-
er they will be adequate to ac-
comodate the Republican Na-
tional Governors Conference
next June. If faculties are in-
adequate, he said, the conven-
tion will be held elsewhere in
Oklahoma. He said his purpose
in inviting the governors was to
let them see Oklahoma’s lakes.

of the Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ) between North and
South Vietnam. The Leather-
necks suffered 21 men injured
in the six-hour fight Monday,
spokesmen said. Military sour-
ces said the action blocked an
apparent Communist attempt to
get a major battle underway in
the border zone.

MADRID (UPI)—Stooped and
dispirited after more than 10
hard years in North Vietnam,
seven Spaniards rested at home
today and told of living "in a
concentration camp.”
The seven, who arrived in
Madrid with their Vietnamese
families Sunday, had sought
adventure as young members of
the French Foreign Legion in
the Indochina war. Six wives
• and 12 children were included
among those released from
North Vietnam.
When the war ended with
French defeat in 1954 they
stayed on for various reasons.
Later they regretted it.
"We have just escaped from
hell,” one man said in a slow
voice.
Another, the strain showing in
his face, muttered:
"We lived in terror in the
jungle fleeing from North
American bombers and local
snipers.”
A third, Avelino Civeria, said
that "Life in North Vietnam
was like living in a concentra-
tion camp.”
They were repatriated

diplomats and reached Madrid
via Red China and Hong Kong.
When they arrived, several still
wore the wide straw hats of the
Vietnamese rice paddies.
One said there was no such
thing as "thought” among the
North Vietnamese.
"What can they think,” said
Edelmiro Garcia. “They can’t
think. All they want is freedom
and they don’t have any. The
government has them complete-
ly tied up.”
Spanish authorities said an-
other group of repatriates would
arrive later this week.
Potential
For Growth
Acclaimed
NORMAN (UPI) - Officials
of a major contrubutor to the
nation’s space effort and tech-
nological development an-
nounced today they will open an
office in Norman which will be
devoted to producing ideas.
TRW Systems Group, which
has participated in nearly 90
per cent of America’s space
launches and pioneered in ap-
plying advanced technology to
complex social issues, will
transfer Dr. John Dulin from
California to Norman shortly
after the first of the year.
Dulin is a former resident of
El Reno and a University of Ok-
lahoma graduate.
Opportunity to Grow
Initially Dulin will be the only
employe of the firm in Norman.
But Dr. John Aseltine, director
of Civil Systems tor TRW who
was in Norman for the an-
nouncement, stressed the Hous-
ton office grew from three peo-
ple to 750 in three years.
Asletine, Dulin, Dr. George L.
Cross, OU president, and Dr.
Herbert Hollomon, president-
designate of the university, and
Norman Mayor Bill Morgan dis-
cussed the facility at a news
conference.
Asletine said Hollomon initia-
ted the discussions with TRW
which led to the decision to set
up the facility.
"This will be our first pres-
ence in a place because we be-
lieve in its potential tor eco-
nomic growth,” Asletine said.
“It is an experiment.”
He said the facility will pro-
duce "software,” such as ideas
management and computer pro-
gramming.
“Its purpose will be to define
the complete scope of our oper-
ation,” Dulin explained.
Hollomon said it is important
"for us in the Southwest and
Midwest to establish new small
enterprises. I’m hopeful other
companies will likewise take
this risk.”
“You don’t really ask the
question at the beginning of a
baby what it will be,” he said.
Broad Interests
“I think this is an interesting
new facet of our community,”
Morgan said, "where we can
export ideas and management
rather than hardware.
TRW Inc. is a broadly diver-
sified international company
with more than 60,000 employes.
It is a leader in electronics, a
major manufacturer of aero-
space and defense systems, an
automotive and aircraft parts
supplier, and a leader in apply-
ing technology and systems en-
gineering to social, environmen-
tal and industrial problems.
Some of the social problems
studied are inadequate urban
transportation, water and air
pollution, overcrowded medical
facilities and depletion of natur-
al resources.
