FBI Spreads Search
For Agent s Killer
CLEVELAND (UPI) - The FBI
believes the alleged killer of special
agent Johnnie L. Oliver, one of three
FBI agents slain last Thursday, is
hiding somewhere in Cleveland’s ghetto
underground, but the agency is also
combing through his haunts in Atlanta.
Chicago and Detroit for dues
“We haven’t found the man yet,” FBI
spokesman Anthony T. Kiggio said
Saturday. “We still believe he is in
Cleveland.’’
The suspected slayer, Melvin Bay
Guyon, 19, disappeared in the city’s
East Side ghetto area just after the
Thursday morning shooting
“We’re extending the search to in-
clude a logical investigation in all parts
of the country where Guyon may have
had some connection — some
associates, relatives or friends,”
Riggio said
The spokesman added this nation-
wide investigation included Atlanta,
Chicago and Detroit. “We’re sending
out leads to agents in those cities. We
believe that any information from
people in other cities may help us to
pinpoint the whereabouts of Guyon.”
Soon after the shooting, as many as
325 law enforcement officers — in-
cluding FBI agents, Cleveland police,
US. Marshals, Customs Officers and
Secret Service agents, plus in-
vestigators from the Justice Depart-
ment Division of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms — swarmed over neigh-
borhoods near where Oliver was killed.
However, the tempo of the in-
vestigation changed late Friday.
County Gets $86,564
Creek County’s share of the $6 million
ppropriated by the state legislature to
iay for repairs to roads resulting from
ast winter's severe weather will be
86,564, according to the Oklahoma
)epartment of Transportation. The
pedal ‘pot hole’ fund was passed by
he last legislature to assist county’s
with road repairs.
Funds are to be distributed among
he state’s 77 counties baaed on road
nlleage (40 percent) and population
/IA naMMil \ Ta nhtnin thp
funds, county commissioners must
submit an itemized list of projects for
which the money is to be used for the
approval of the Department of Tran-
sportation. AU funds must be en-
cumbered before the end of the 1900
fiscal year, unless an approved project
cannot be completed within that time.
Other appropriations for neighboring
counties include; Lincoln, 982,605;
Okfuskee, 145,288; Okmulgee, 989,917;
Pawnee, 945,829; Payne, 997,292; and
Tulsa. 1320.045.
“The investigation was once a
systematic door-to-door search, now
it’s a selective investigative process
following up the leads," Kiggio said “1
would estimate there are 150 people
involved indirectly or directly in the
investigation.”
A policeman at a conunand post in
the FBI's downtown federal building
office said leads were conung in on the
average of one every five to 10 minutes
The FBI offered a $10,000 reward for
information leading to the capture of
Guyon, who was placed on the agency's
10 Most Wanted List a few hours after
the shooting.

from from ad valorem taxes. Tlie only
levies which accrue to municipalities
are those voted by citizens to retire
bond issues.
Municipal levies this year are for
Bristow (10.50), Depew (10),
Drumright (6.75), Mounds (11.97) and
Sapulpa (1.09).
County treasurer Nadine Thoos is
authorized to submit lax statements
this fall on the basis of the 1979-80
certificate of levies compiled by the
office of County Clerk W. R. Childers
The certificate shows a county levy of
18.13 mills, of which 10 mills goes to
finance county general goverrunent. In
addition, there is a 2.63 mill sinking
fund established to retire $390,000 worth
of bonds voted by countians last year to
finance construction of a free fair
facility. A mandatory 4 mill levy is
divided among county schools, and a
mandatory 1.5 mill levy is for the
county health department.
Each county school district has a
general fund levy of 35 mills, with each
having a combined 5.43 levy for
vocational-technical education. All
districts have 5 mill building levies,
except for Depew (3.5 mills) and Milfay
(no levy). Sinking fund levies, used to
retire past bond issues, range from zero
at Milfay and Pretty Water to 23.78 in
Mannford; the sinking fund levy for
Sapulpa 1-33 is 20.79, second highest in
the county.

goes to county government; Central
Tech gets $5.43; the county health
department gets $1.50; county schools
get $4; and the city gets $1.09 to retire
past bond issues.

In Fire Ravaged Idaho
W eather F orecast Grim
United Press International
New fires scorched timber country in
Idaho and Montana Saturday as a grim
weather forecast indicated rain was
nowhere in sight and huge blazes could
ravage the West until the snow flies.
U.S. Forest Service officials
dispatched crews to two more Idaho
national forests and the Lolo National
Forest in Montana, and more men were
sent to a two-day-old range blaze in
northeast Nevada that has spread to
2,500 acres. More than 8,000 men were
on fire lines in the West.
The Forest Service reported two
unusual casualties among its army of
exhausted firefighters working 18 hours
a day in Idaho.
One man battled flames for a week
before he collapsed and it was
discovered that his pancreas had been
crushed. A female firefighter waa
rushed from a mountainside after she
suffered a miscarriage.
Vast burns continued to elude efforts
at containment or control in the Idaho
Primitive Area, although the Forest
Service said the 62,000-acre Mortar
Creek fire along the Salmon River
possibly would be contained early next
week.
“However, It will take more than a
rainy day or two to get us out of this
mess,” said National Weather Service
meteorologist Clyde O’Dell at a briefing
at the Boise Interagency Center.
O’Dell predicted the West could be
plagued with hundreds of fires for
weeks If substantial amounts of rain did
not fall on millions of acres of tinder-
dry timber. He said the immediate
danger of lightning-caused fires was
critical.
Most of Utah and Idaho and parts of
California, Washington and Nevada
were descibed as prime fire targets for
the rest of the fire season. “We just
have to wait for those scattered
showers and hope there will be enough
rain to give us the upper hand,” O’Dell
said.
Recent Western fires have
devestated more than 190,000 acres -
145,000 in Idaho alone.
There were at least eight outof-
control fires in the West, including the
three young but quickly spreading
Idaho blazes which had charred a total
of 1,000 acres.
Nevada’s Ivanhoe fire had covered
2,500 acres, while the Dtxson Bar blaze
in Oregon grew to 3,200 acres.
Forest Service Cliief Max Peterson,
who flew over several Idaho fires with
Gov. John V. Evans Friday, said the
weather outlook into September "is
sobering at the outside beat.”
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The head of
a congressional mission said the plight
of refugees fleeing communist-
controlled Indochina could be improved
if the United States moves on “a fasl
track” toward normal relations with
Vietnam.
“The situation is the most complex
human, political misery I have ever
contemplated in my lifetime,” said
Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal, D-N.Y.,
shortly after he and four other mem-
bers of his mission returned from
Hanoi.
“I tend to agree that we ought to
move on a fast track towards nor-
malization” of relations with Vietnam,
Rosenthal told a news conference. Such
a move “can only improve the climate
in that part of Southeast Asia
significantly,” he said.
On Friday, a State Department of-
ficial acknowleged that efforLs to im-
prove relations with Vietnam were
stopped by Washington last fall because
of Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia and
the refugee issue — just when Hanoi
and Washington were nearing an
agreement to establish diplomatic ties
Rosenthal noted that, based on
conversations with officials in Vietnam,
Hanoi is “desperate” for U.S
recognition, but not willing to make
concessions such as withdrawing from
Cambodia, where it has about 200,000
troops.
“They are desperate for American
aid They are desperate for American
recognition so they join the family of
nations. They are desperate for Ameri-
can normalization to what they per-
ceive as America’s imbalanced
friendship with China,” Rosenthal said
The nine-member congressional
delegation visited nine refugee camps
in Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and
Malaysia holding about 180,000 people
who have fled Vietnam, Iaos and
Cambodia by land and sea.
They described their impressions as
“traumatic” and Rosenthal, in his vivid
descriptions of some of the camps, used
terms such as “subhuman ... unfit for
human beings ... primitive ... un-
civilized ....’’
The group offered no specific
recommendations, but there was
general agreement among the five
members at the news conference that
something must be done quickly, both
in the countries of asylum and in the
countries of origin, particularly
Vietnam.
Rosenthal and his colleagues said
countries such as Malaysia and
Indonesia disagree with the decision to
place tlie U.S. 7th Fleet in the South
China Sea to help rescue refugees. They
perceive it as a military maneuver
rather than a humanitarian mission.
Others at the news conference were
Heps. Thomas Downey, D-N.Y., Robert
Drinan, D-Mass., John Paul Ham-
merschmidt, R-Ark., and Delegate
Antonio Borja Won Pat of Guam.
