East Pakistan Isolated
India Claims Victories
By United Press International
India recognized the Bangla
Desh rebel government of Hast
Pakistan today and reported its
troops, with almost total air
supremacy, were moving rapid-
ly through Hast Pakistan in
hopes of a quick victory.
India reported major victories
in southern Kashmir where it
said a Pakistani tank force was
defeated with destruction of 23
Pakistani tanks and said its air
force struck the harbor at
Karachi again today and found
the waterfront in flames.
Pakistan Radio reported it had
captured up to 20 Indian border
posts and carried out
widespread air attacks against
Indian military positions and air
fields and reported victories in
the Poonch sector of western
Kashmir
Dacca Cut OH
Mast of the victory claims
came from India, especially in
East Pakistan where it reported
new bombings of Pakistani ports
and said East Pakistan was now
isolated from resupply by West
Pakistan. The capital city of
Dacca has been cut off from its
supply routes, India reported

By ED LIVERMORE
AS THE HERALD'S annual
Servicemens’ Christmas card
shower ended this year, names
of only 25 area residents were
submitted for this year’s event.
THIS COMPARES with over
100 last year
ALL OF WHICH is a pretty
good indication of President
Nison’s program of getting
American servicemen out of
Vietnam.
NIXON PROMISED to get our
servicemen out of Asia and there
is no doubt but what he is
keeping the promise, consistent
with some element of military
judgment.
VIETNAM HAS BEEN turned
into such an unpopular thing that
it will be no subject of concern
during the next election year.
The only way Vietaaan could
have affected next year’s voting
would have been for Nixon to
have kept the troops there and in
midst of fighting.
THE SOONER we get all our
troops out of Vietnam the better.
Once we adapted the no-win
policy in Asia, any day the
troops were kept in the war zone
was just one day too long.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE on
the part of the US was falling for
the winless policy of the liberals
that became so apparent shortly
after the Tonkin Bay incident.
That’s the time when we started
losing the war and when we
abdicated our position of
leadership in the world.
Christmas
Parade Set
Santa Claus will lead a
procession of 48 units in
Sapulpa’s Christmas parade
scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
tonight.
The procession will include
floats, bands and drill teams
and will form at the in-
tersection of Poplar and
Cleveland Streets. From
there the march will go east
to Main, march north on
main to Dewey and parade
east on Dewey to Maple.
The parade is sponsored

Six questions are on the ballot
in a special state election
Tuesday, with Question 478, the
weekend closing law,
dominating voter interest.
A dim turnout may be in store
in Creek county if absentee
ballots are any indicator. Only
nine were cast as the deadline
came at 5 p.m. Friday.
Polls will be open from 7 am.
until 7 pm.
A list of Sapulpa area polling
places is found an page 3, with
one change noted: Voters in
Ward 4, Precinct 2 will cast their
ballots at Forest Hills Baptist
church. 702 S. Adams, rather
than at old Forest Park school.
Election board officials
stressed that 18, 19 and 20-year-
old voters who have registered
are eligible to vote Tuesday.
Some confusion apparently
has arisen because one of the
questions on the ballot would
change the state constitution to
lower the voting age to 18.
However, federal con-
stitutional amendment has
already extended the franchise
to the 18-20 age brackeL The
state question would merely
update the language of the state
constitution to conform with
federal law.
State Election Board Secre-
tary l,ee Slater estimate a turn-
out of between 150,000 and 200,-
000, or 15 to 20 per cent of those
eligible
The six questions include votes
on weekend closing, teenage
voting rights, two laws to expand
authority of grand juries, one to
remove a requirement that only
property taxpayers may vote in
certain bond elections, and one
Hall Picks Gain
Board’s Control
By HARRY CULVER
UPI Capital Reporter
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPIi -
Gov. David Hall today appointed
an Enid Republican woman and
gained a 4-3 majority on the
state corrections board which
recently went against his wishes
in appointing a director.
Hall announced the position
would go to Mrs. Helena Rieger,
30, of Qiid, widow of Capt.
Rodney L. Rieger, killed in 1967
in Vietnam. She is the first wo-
man to serve on the board, which
oversees Oklahoma’s prison
system.
The appointment took effect
just prior to today’s meeting at
1:30 p. m. when the board was to
visit with the new director,
Frank Johnston. Johnston drove
here over the weekend from
Dallas, Pa., where he heads a
prison institution.
Succeeds Bartlett Appointee
There was no comment from
Hall’s office as to what effect the
appointment would have on
Johnston's future. Mrs. Rieger
succeeds Harry E. Cummins Jr.,
of Enid and Muskogee, an ap-
pointee of GOP former Gov.
Dewey Bartlett.
Cummins, who cast the decid-
ing vote for Johnston last month,
resigned last Friday night.
James R. Gill of Oklahoma
City, another Bartlett appointee
who had voted for Johnston, said
he was “in the dark'' as to what
would happen today although he
made it clear he preferred
retaining Johnston.
Johnston is scheduled to take
office Jan. 1.
Hall has wanted the perma-
nent post to go to Leo Mc-
Cracken, who has served as
acting director for several
months.
Mrs. Rieger is the daughter of
the late Police Lt. Arthur
Nexion, who served 26 years in
the Schenectady, N. Y., police
department.
9ie attended Russell Sage
College in Troy, N. Y., and Phil-
lips Universiy in Enid. She has
lived in Enid five years
"Mrs. Rieger is a concerned
citizen who was reared in a law
enforcement family," Hall said.
Forecasters Skid
In Final Contest
Participants in the Herald’s
final guess-the-winner football
contest found predicting high
school and professional games
much tougher than college
choices.
Thus an entry with six in-
correct predictions emerged $10
first prize winner-that of Stacey
Garvin, 1206 Circle Drive.
Second place went to L. E.
Bilby, Rt. 2. who had seven
wrong predictions but came
within one point of forecasting
the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State
score. He called it 59-14, OU,
with the actual score being 58-14.
Checks may be picked up at the
Herald office.
Auto Stolen
From Car Lot
A 1966 Pontiac I^Mans was
stolen from the used car lot of
Standard Chevrolet, 100 S. Main,
Sunday night.
Thieves broke into the lot
office gaining possession of the
car keys.
Standard Chevrolet Manager
John Bing man told Sapulpa
Police that no money was taken,
and that the one car was the only
automobile missing from the lot.
Also missing seven were
Wendell Ervin, 111 N. Poplar,
and Steve Law, 902 Luker Lane,
but they were further off on the
tie-breaker. Ervin was only five
points off, calling it 58-19, and
Steve predicted 27-14.
Nine persons had eight wrong
choices and 16 missed nine.
As the college season was
virtually ended, high school
playoff and professional games
were listed for the contest. A
rash of upsets in the pro ranks
kept the percentages low.
The contest has been spon-
sored by the Herald and 20
Sapulpa films including Howard
Fieker Motors, Kentucky Fried
Chicken, Standard Chevrolet
and Thriftway Food Market.
Also City Finance Co., Ren-
wood Cleaners, Cornwell’s Gay

One By Petition
The dosing law was submitted
by initiative petition. The other
five are proposed constitutional
amendments. They were
referred by the legislature
The amendment to lower the
voting age to 18 will have no
affect other than to make the
constitution conform with fed-
eral language that will remain in
effect regardless of Tuesday's
outcome.
The dosing law would prohibit
sale of certain types of goods on
consecutive days of a weekend,
meaning such stores would have
to close on either a Saturday
Most are expected to close on
Sunday if the law passes.
Backers have said purpose of
the law is to give retail employes
at least one day off on a
weekend. Opponents have
charged tile law u aimed at
shutting down discount stores on
Sundays.
Dave Dank, executive vice
president of the Oklahoma Re-
tail Merchants Association, ex-
pressed "subdued optimism''
about the vote The merchants
group drculated the initiative
petition
"If everyone who signed our
petitions and who is now helping
us gets out and votes tomorrow,
we'll win it," Dank said. "But
they 11 need to vote and nothing
is sure until they do.”
Among articles which could
not be sold on one day each
weekend would be clothing, fur-
niture, shoes, kitchen utensils,
dishes, home appliances, televi-
sion sets, radius, tape recorders,

carried out low level bombing
and strafing attacks of Dacca's
international airport today,
imperiling but not hurting a
group of 10 British women and
children who had just arrived
there for evacuation aboard a
United Nations mercy flight.
Another group of 250 Ameri-
can and other refugees in the
Inter-Continental Hotel in Dacca
took refuge in the hotel corridors
and were not hurt. The U.N. had
asked for a two hour cease-fire
to permit two chartered U.N.
planes to fly in from Bangkok.
Members Cheer
India's decision to recognize
the rebel Bangla Desh govern-
ment was announced in Parli-
ament in New Delhi. Members
began cheering and thumping
their desks even before Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi finished
her announcement.
The India-Pakistan war steins
from the decision of Pakistani
President Agha Mohammad
Yahya Khan last March to bring
in West Pakistani troops to put
down a rebellion by the Bangla
Desh movement which declared
itself independent of West
Pakistan. The Awami League in
East Pakistan had won a
majority in the Pakistani
Parliament in elections late last
year but Yahya Khan prevented
the league from taking its seats.
There was rebellion, civil war
and the flight of 10 million
refugees into India. India called
the flight of the refugees a threat
to Indian security and gave
moral support to the Bangla
Desh.
Neutrality
Is Vowed
WASHINGTON iUPI) -Pres-
ident Nixon stressed today a
U.S. position of strict neutrality
in the India-Pakistan war.
Senate Republican Leader
Hugh Scott and Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield said
following a meeting with Nixon
that the President emphasized
the United States must maintain
"absolute neutrality" and not
become "physically involved in
any way."
Nixon briefed congressional
leaders at the White House on
the fighting between Indian and
Pakistani troops in both East
and West Pakistan. Scott said
Secretary of State William P.
Rogers would give lawmakers a
further briefing at the Capitol
Tuesday.
The leaders gave newsmen a
cautiously couched account of
their meeting with Nixon amid
reports from the battle areas
that Indian and Pakistani rebel
troops were rapidly overunmng
Pakistani government defenses
in East Pakistan.
Mansfield, emphasizing he
was speaking for himself and not
the 1 “resident, expressed hope
that the Soviet Union and
Communist China could help
bring about a cease-fire While
the United States is remaining
neutral, China is supporting
Pakistan and Russia supporting
India.
Russians Paralyze UN Action
UNITED NATIONS (UPI)-
The United States led a move
today to take the India-Pakiatan
crisis to the General Assembly
and out of the Security Council
where two Soviet vetoes have
paralysed efforts to demand a
cease-fire.
A number of nations have
called for an immediate cease-
fire and mutual troop pullback.
The latest appeal came today
from the government of Sudan
which warned that the fighting
between India and Pakistan will
have harmful effects on world
peace.
The Sudanese Foreign Minis-
try in a statement said the
conflict should retrain from
interfering in each other’s in-
ternal affairs.
“The fighting between India
and Pakistan will have harmful
effects on world peace,” the
statement said. 'The fighting
between the two countries
should stop immediately and
troops should withdraw from
each other’s territory.”
British Prime Minister Ed-
ward Heath said the conflict was
“a grievous blow that, at the
time when Christmas is ap-
proaching, the Indian subcon-
tinent is torn by strife. We are
doing all we can towards the
restoration of peace to that
continent”
U.S. Ambassador George
Budi hinted strongly Sinday
that there may be a move to take
the issue from the council to the
assembly under a 21-year-old
resolution fathered by the late
Secretary of State Dean
Acheson. The resolution
authorizes assembly action on
war and peace questions when
the council is paralyzed by a
