Settlement Okayed
By Plains Indians
ANADARKO (UPI)-
Apache, Comanche and Kiowa
Indians approved a $35 million
land settlement Saturday for
land taken by the federal
government in 1865 and 1861
land treaties.
The vast plains area involved
portions of five states, Oklaho-
ma, Colorado, Kansas, Texas
and a small portion of New
Mexico.
Indian Land Claims Com-
mission Attorney J. Roy
Thompson of Washington met
with about 1,000 tribal leaders
before the Indians split into
three groups and voted _ to
approve the $35,060,000 set-
tlement which was based on
1868 fair land prices.
Tech Grant Approved
Approval of a $60,000 grant to
Sapulpa extension of Central
Tech was announced Friday
through the office of Rep. Clem
McSpadden
McSpadden said Bill Fribley,
co-chairman of the Ozarks
Regional Commission, had
informed him of the approval
which will be combined with
$30,000 local money for use in
the programs training and re-
training adults in metals
fabrication skills.
urged the educators to seek
similar pledges from all state
legislative candidates.
“If between Nov. 5 and the
opening day of the ’75 session
we find higher education can
not meet its budget, I will call a
special session of the legisla-
ture to fund the neceseary
money for that interim
period,” Hall said. “I tell you
that because I have watched
carefully to see whether or not
we are in danger in that area.
If I find that we are, I can
promose you that I will call a
special session.
“I inted that whether its $65-
million, $70 million in new dol-
lars, I’m going to work not only
with the Higher Education
Alumni Council but with the
boards of regents to make
certain that we fund the higher
education budget, to make
certain that higher education
gets its fair share, but most
important,” he said. “I’ll be
working between now and
January asking for personal
commitments from senators
and representatlvss to ack the
budgets of higher education. I
ask zou to do the same thing.
"I can tell you if we fall down
on the job we’ll be back in the
same boat next year,” Hall
said.
He said he knew many of the
council members were con-
cerned about enrollment
trends in the state colleges,
particularly those in outlhing
areas.
“I want to tell you that ac-
cording to figures furnished me
... the number of enrollments
are holding much more steady
than we had thought,” he said.
Hall said HEACO needs to
recognize that “you’ve got to
support people who support
you."
"It doesn’t make any differ-
ence if they’re Democrats or
Republicans or what, if they’re
for education, you’d better be
for them,” Hall said. “We’ve
had too many years when
promises were made and they
ween’t kept, when com-
nitments were made and they
were never met From here on
is the time to ask people to pin
it down what they’re going to
do."
Hall, chairman of the Educa-
tion Commission of the States,
said he would ask “each of the
50 states to make education
their No. 1 priority as we have
done in Oklahoma because that
whole national trend will help
aU of us.”
He said he also plans "to ask
every presidential candieate,
Democrat and Republican
alike, to make a commitment
that if they are elected they
will create a separate cabinet
post for education rather than
combining it with health and
welfare.”
“I think we need that identi-
fication if we’re going to make
certain that the education
needs of this country are taken
care of,” he said.
Hall also had a promise for
college students and their par-
ents—that there would be no
increase in college tuition so
long as he is governor.
“There hasn’t been a tuition
increase in Oklahoma in 3Vi
years and there never will be,
from this point on, as long as
I’m governor,” Hall said.
“That means that people that
save their money to go 5o
school now can go at 1970
tuition rates,” Hall said. “I
made a firm commitment that
the money that normally would
have come from tuition in-
creases ought to be coming
from the State of Oklahoma
and it ought to be coining in
greater and greater amounts."

teller windows in the main
lobby and a drive-up facility on
the west with entrance from
Cleveland St. Off-street
parking will provided behind
the building and will be ac-
cessible from either Cleveland
or Main.
The building permit obtained
from the city building in-
spector’s office this week listed

Lone Star To Recover
Damage to Ixme Star school
caused by the June 8 tornado jp
expected to be repaired in time
for the start of fall classes,
County Superintendent J.L.
Darnell said Friday.
An insured loss total of
$130,337 was agreed upon after
a meeting the past week of the
Lone Star board of education,
contractor and insurance
adjustors. Additionally, the
U.S. Office of Education an-
nounced through its Dallas
office a $5,420 grant has been
approved for Lone Star to
assist in repairs.
The tornado dipped at 7:12
p.m. June 8, ripping the roof off
eight classrooms, heavily
damaging the gymnasium,
ruining some 150-200 desks,
teachers’ lounge furniture and
damaging the cafeteria store
room.
Messick Construction Co.
was constructing additional
classrooms and dressing room
facilities at the time, and will
be relieved of its Aug. 1
deadline on that project to
begin repair work.
Darnell said the school
opening may be delayed a
couple of weeks, but the con-
tractor believed repairs could
be effected for a fall semester
start of early September.
The cost of restoring the
building was estimated at
$123,000, with the remainder to
be used for replacing equip-
ment.
ADDIS ABABA (UPI) -
Mutinous troops and police,
consolidating their control of
the capital, announced Satur-
day they had begun to arrest
members of the government on
charges of corruption and
threatened to take over the
country if the officials were not
put on trial.
Government news media,
however, denied it was a coup
or that any of the cabinet
members had been arrested.
Unconfirmed reports said Em-
peror Haile Selassie might
announce formation of a new
government to stop the new
rebellion.
In their first broadcast, the
troops stressed their loyalty to
the emperor who has tried to
remain aloof from the succes-
sive crises.
The troops said they took
action because officers had
refused their demands for the
prosecution of 25 former
ministers and high officials
detained by the army for
alleged corruption and the
punishment of politicians who
called for their release.
The government, in an at-
tempt to stop the slide toward
full military rule, formed a
four-man ministerial com-
mittee to meet with army
representatives and discuss
their grievances.
But several hours after the
official announcement, the
troops had still not replied to
the offer.^
The heavily-armed soldiers
Friday triggered Ethiopia’s
third major crisis since Febru-
ary by seizing radio stations
and other installations in Addis
Ababa. On Saturday they
surrounded the international
airport and stopped Ethiopians
from leaving the country.
In radio broadcasts, the
army said it had begun to
arrest members of the
government for alleged
corrupt practices. Leaders of
the mutinous troops, supported
by police and local militia, said
they were prepared to take
over the country if high of-
ficials were not put on trial.
Leaders Can’t Agree On Test Ban
YALTA, USSR (UPI) -
President Nixon and Commu-
nist party chief Leonid I.
Brezhnev disagreed on nuclear
test ban terms Saturday and
shifted their summit to a
sunswept Black Sea villa next
door to the site of the historic
1945 Yalta conference.
Maintaining the chummy
style of their “personal rela-
tionship” summit in spite of the
disagreement, Nixon and
Brezhnev signed a. 10-year
commercial pact during a two-
hour conference in Moscow’s
Kremlin, put the test ban issue
aside and flew south to the
seaside playground known as
the Soviet Riviera.
Back in Moscow, nuclear
physicist Andrei Sakharov, a
leading Soviet civil rights
advocate, went on a hunger
strike in an effort to draw
Nixon’s attention to the plight
of Soviet political prisoners.
Hunt Says Break-In His Idea
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
first day of testimony in the
Ellsberg burglary trial
presented fresh glimpses of E.
Howard Hunt Jr., who said he
proposed the crime, and Dr.
Lewis J. Fielding, the Beverly
Hills psychiatrist who was its
victim.
They were witnesses in the
conspiracy trial of John D.
Ehrlichman, formerly Presi-
dent Nixon’s top domestic
assistant, and three others
charged with violating Fiel-
ding’s civil liberties. The trial
resumes Monday with Hunt
returning to the witness chair.

McDonald Sentenced
Albert McDonald was sen-
tenced Friday to life im-
prisonment for the 1970 slaying
of Cleo Epps, former Creek
county bootlegger.
Dlst. Judge Alan B.
McPheron pronounced sen-
tence in Durant, where a Bryan
county jury ruled McDonald
guilty May 10 and recom-
mended life in prison.
The trail site had been
moved from Tulsa to Durant
because of pre-trial publicity.
Mrs. Epps' body was found in
a septic tank near 71st St. and
Union in Tulsa.
McDonald is serving a 60-
year-to-life term in Arizona for
robbery. If and when he is
released he will be returned to
Oklahoma to serve his life
term.
Daniel Ellsberg, is bald man
who spoke and gestured slowly
and deliberately.
Laughter in Courtroom
He provoked laughter from
the audience in Courtroom 6
and even from presiding U.S.
District Judge Gerhard A.
Gesell. “If I appear apprehen-
sive, it’s only because I am,”
Fielding said as he began his
testimony.
Fielding said he is a
physician-psychoanalyst who
is a certified psychiatrist and
neurologist. He has practiced
for 25 years and has no
receptionist or nurse in a
“modest" two-room office. He
said he treated Ellsberg inten-
sively between 1968 and 1970
and "nine or 10 times” since.
Fielding said two FBI agents
came to him in the summer of
1971 to get information about
Ellsberg—"medical, of course.
Doc," he said, quoting one of
them.
Sakharov vowed to consume
only mineral water and 13
Soviet Germans in Estonia said
they were joining him, but a
Nixon aide said the
presidential party had no
comment on the matter.
A Soviet spokesman said the
two leaders discussed
limitation of underground
nuclear testing at the morning
Kremlin meeting, but could not
agree on terms. Instead, they
sent the issue back to technical
experts for more work.
Press Secretary Ronald L.
Ziegler still held out hope for a
test-ban agreement before the
summit ends Wednesday,
however, saying “we have five
more days to go.” He said
there would be more
negotiation on the subject once
the aides report back.
Nixon and Brezhnev flew to
the Black Seacoast airport at
Simferopol aboard a blue and
white Ilyushin-62 jet and
walked to a black limosine with
their arms around each others'
waists, smiling and waving at a
crowd of Soviet spectators.
Watched by cordial crowds
gathered sometimes five-deep
along the winding seacoast
road, they motored 56 miles
along a rugged flower-scented
coastline reminiscent of
Nixon’s beloved Big Sur region
to Yalta and Brezhnev’s cliff-
top villa at Oreanda, a tropical
park that is part of Yalta.
