SATURDAY is National
Newspaperboy Day, a highlight
of the annual National
Newspaper Week.
IT HAS been said many times
that the fate of the newspaper
business, especially the daily
variety, hinges on the efforts of a
eenage youngster
THE STAFF can labor long
and hard, but if the product
doesn’t get to the reader, all is
for naught
MOST EVER Y other aspect of
the “American Way” we like to
speak of has changed
drastically. But the newspaper
route delivery method is
basically the same now as
always TTie ankle express and
pony power of yesteryear have
turned into the motor scooter
and station wagon of 1971. But
the customer-carrier
relationship is still a one-on-one
thing, unchanged by time and
the tides.
AT THE HERALD were
especially proud of our carrier
organization. We have 60 of
them in Sapulpa. Kellyville,
Glen pool, Kiefer, and Mounds.
Additionally we have eight
motor routes in the rural areas
around the city.
WE RECOGNIZE the im-
portant part these people play in
the success of the Herald.
Saturday is their day and we
salute them for their continual
good work.
$2 Bills

Traveled
Being told this is National
Newspaper Week reminded
former Herald staffer Ruth
McClain of an incident 25
years ago during the same
observance.
During the week’s ac-
tivities in 1946 the then owner
of the paper, R.P. Matthews,
paid his employes in {2 bills,
perhaps for the novelty of the
idea or to show the com-
munity just how much the
payroll meant to the town.
Mrs. McClain since then
has carried two of the bills in
her billfold.
They have traveled with
her on 50 trips across the
Atlantic Ocean when her
husband, Paul, was em-
ployed with Aramco Oil Co.,
in Saudi Arabia
They have been com-
pletely around the world
twice, went on an African
safari, have been to the
pyramids, to Paris, Rome,
I,ondon, Denmark, Beirut.
The amazing thing, Mrs.
McClain thinks, is that she
didn’t spend them for any of
the exotic temptations seen
in her travels.

Loose
A large buck elk ap-
parently is on the loose
northwest of Sapulpa, with
several residents having
reported seeing it.
Game Ranger Neal Buie
said he had several reports
on the animal but was unable
to track him down in a
search. He said two turnpike
employes saw the animal, as
did Alfred Hanks, 1002 N.
10th.
Buie said the elk probably
would not bother anyone,
and noted that one elk was
known to be ranging with a
cattle herd in Tulsa county
north of here last year.
There are other elk in
southeastern Oklahoma, he
said.
Committee
Reduces
Aid Funds
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, concerned about the
growing roster of U.S. military
dependencies, has snipped 20 per
cent from the administration’s
request for overseas military
aid.
The committee completed
action on money sections of the
bill Thursday and, as expected,
filled it with stiff restrictions and
program cuts.
Final action on the measure
were postponed until the House
votes next week on a senate-
passed end-the-war amendment.
If the amendment, establishing
a national policy of withdrawal
from Indochina by spring, is
rejected again, the committee
probably will attach it to the aid
bill or even write a stronger
version that would cut off funds
for the war.
Otherwise, the $3.4 billion
House-passed aid bill is com-
plete. The committee declined to
release details of the measure,
since all the actions are subject
to reconsideration before it is
reported to the floor.
But Senators emerging from
the all-day closed-door meeting
Thursday gave this general
picture:
—Military assistance was cut
from $705 million to $506 million
for the year ending June 30,1972
by a vote of 7 tc 6.
—A companion program that
furnishes economic aid to
countries whose economies are
in jeopardy because of grave
defense needs was chopped from
$800 million to $699.4 million,
with $85 million earmarked
specifically for Israel.
—New language was added to
prohibit absolutely the shipment
of any military equipment to
Pakistan —even equipment that
has been licensed for export and
is now awaiting shipment. This
is stronger than a Housepassed
amendment that cuts off future
aid and does not apply to money
already in the pipeline or
shipments that were licensed
prior to the civil war.

Funds Hit $35,000 Mark
UF Drive Nears Goal
The final day of the Sapulpa United Fund campaign has
come to pass with the tills showing $35,247.07 as of noon, Friday.
Officially the drive for advance, business, and payroll
divisions ended Friday, but work continues in the residential,
area and club brackets.
The set goal for the drive is $40,000 and United Fund
workers estimate that an additional $5,000 to $7,000 is yet to be
counted.
The residential drive will run to the middle of the next
week. Processing of Sapulpa’s major industrial firms is ex-
pected to be completed by Oct. 22.
The Sapulpa Jaycees have two projects planned to raise funds
for the drive. The Jaycee basketball team will play the
Kellyville faculty Thursday, 7:30 p.m., in the Kellyville gym.
Tuesday the Jaycees will man and operate Johnston’s Car
Wash. 200 N Mission, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. fVoceeds from both
projects will go to the United Fund.
A breakdown by divisions shows advance $21,110;
business. $3,270; payroll, $10,564.50; residential, $236.96,
Kellyville Area, $120.62 and clubs, Northside Chamber of
Commerce, $25.
The drive has been conducted by Chairman Elmer Neel.
President of the United Fund is John Wilcox.
“It’s just a matter of processing all the funds," said Neel. “We
should have a final drive figure by Oct. 22. I’m confident that we
will reach and possibly exceed the $40,000 goal."
Economist
Predicts
Price Surge
HOT SPRINGS, Va. (UPI)-A
presidential economic adviser
told some of the nation's leading
businessmen today that prices
and wages might surge upward
after the freeze.
Herbert Stein, a member of
the Council of Economic
Advisers who is considered the
chief architect of President
Nixon’s Phase II economic
policy, told the Business
Council’s fall meeting here that
post-freeze wage and price
guidelines would not be uniform.
Some prices will actually have
to drop below their current level
if the administration is to meet
its goal of reducing inflation to 2
to 3 per cent by the end of next
year, Stein said.
In planning the Phase II, Stein
said, White House policy makers
recognized that a temporary
upsurge of prices is possible in
the first weeks or even months
after the end of the freeze."
There are a number of more-
or-less legitimate, or at least
hard to resist, claims for price
and wage increases that have
backed up since Aug. 15 and
some of them will be translated
into real increases,” he said.
Stein said the price commis-
sion would undoubtedly let some
prices rise above the 2 to 3 per
tent yardstick But he added:
Many prices must not rise at all
and some must decline.”
Requests for wage increases
will also be judged selectively.
"Some wage rates will obviously
have to rise more than the
average and some less,” he said.
City Hosts TARs
About 100 persons are expected Saturday
for the Northeast Oklahoma Region orien-
tation session for Teens Aid the Retarded
iTARs).
Sessions will be at the high school gym-
nasium from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., with Dr.
John Martin, Sapulpa school superintendent,
giving the welcome.
Featured speaker will be Fr. Paul Zahler of
St. Gregory’s College, Shawnee, who will
show films and give demonstrations about
games, gymnastics and other activities.
Teens Aid the Retarded is an organization
of volunteer youth who assist in various
programs of help for mentally retarded
children.
Mary Mefford is president of the host

Jury Acquits Bristow
Man Of Slaying Charge
A District Court jury
deliberated less than an hour
Thursday in acquitting a
Bristow man of a murder charge
in a June 26,1971, shootout near
a Slick tavern.
Cleared was Benjamin
Harrison Jr., 31, who testified he
acted in self-defense.
Harrison was charged with
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres-
ident Nixon today laid down the
official structure of his "Phase
II” economic program, giving
his Cost of Living Council the
mission of setting "broad
stabilization goals” and new
wage and price boards the power
to carry them out.
The White House also revealed
that the council would establish

groups: big, moderate and little.

Japan To Limit
Textile Sale
TOKYO (UPI)—Japan agreed
today to limit its sales of textiles
to the United States. It was a
major economic victory for the
Nixon administration and one
that brought cries of "surren-

leaders and demands for the
OKI-AHOMA CITY (UPI)—
Senate President Pro Tempore
Finis Smith says he does not
believe the battle to choose his
successor will be decided before
end of the 1972 legislative ses-
sion.
Smith announced Thursday
that he would not seek an un-
precedented third term as lea-
der of the senate.
The Tulsan also said he would
not run for Congress or U. S.
Senate in 1972 but would try for
another term in the state senate
if he ran for anything. Smith said
he planned at this time to seek
return to the senate.
Hopes They’ll Wait
Smith said he hoped aspirants
for the president pro tempore
job would lay off campaigning
until after the end of the 1972
session, but to some it appeared
only a signal to intensify their
efforts.
Among those who have ex-
pressed an interest in the job are
Sens. A1 Terrill of Lawton, John
Luton of Muskogee, James
Hamilton of Poteau, George
Miller of Ada, Roy Grantham of
Ponca City and Bryce Baggett of
Oklahoma City. All are
Democrats.
“I don’t anticipate any one of
those getting sufficient votes at
this time,” Smith said.
“As somebody said, if they
took a count right now the vote
might be 1 tol to 1 tol to 1 tol,”
he added with a laugh. “It is
hard to say who might be a
frontrunner.”
Year to Go
Smith said it was premature to
talk about the next president pro
tempore since the term does not
start until January, 1973. He said
since others had been asking
about his plans and had ex-
pressed a desire to run if he did
not, he felt obligated to tell all
the Democratic senators at one
time he would not be a can-
didate.
He stated emphatically he
TUI.SA (UPI) — The widow of
slain Osage County rancher E.
C Mullendore III has asked a
federal judge to order insurance
attorneys to stop granting in-
terviews about the case to the
news media.
An attorney for the Atlanta,
Ga., insurance company that
had insured Mullendore s life for
$15 million was quoted ex-
tensively in Thursday's Tulsa
Tribune.
The attorney contended that

candidate until the end of the
1972 legislature.
“My guess is this matter
might not be settled at the end of
the next session, although there
might be a frontrunner," he
said. “I think you’ll find a great
number wanting to delay and
defer until the next session is
over.”
Not Campaigning Yet
Terrill told newsmen he is a
candidate but is not campaign-
ing at this time.
"I am withholding making
making any personal contacts
until the majority of the business
of the session is over,” he said.
By that he said he meant after
passage of congressional re-
districting and “some other
things," which he predicted
would require at least six weeks.
Grantham said he would find
out how he stands before the
session begins. He did not pre-
dict how long it would take for
the race to be decided.
Hamilton, teuton, Miller and
Baggett have confirmed they
are candidates.
It requires 20 of the 39 Dem-
ocratic senators to make a ma-
jority. However, that majority
could change if some are de-
feated in next year's election.
Hearing Due
For Teacher
Sapulpa s school board met
Friday as a personnel com-
mittee to discuss complaints
against a junior high school
teacher, according to president
Mike Borden.
He confirmed the complaints
from parents involved a mass
corporal punishment incident
earlier this week in a class
taught by John Ellig.
Borden said a hearing would
be scheduled in about 10 days
of Oklahoma City.
The Mullendore attorneys
called Crowe’s statements about
the case a “flagrant, wanton and
malicious violation of the legal
profession."
U. S. District Judge Allen E.
Barrow is scheduled to begin
hearings on the insurance
claims Oct 26 but the firm has
asked lhe 10th U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Denver to order
Barrow to diqualify himself. No
decision on that petition has
been made.

times in the head as he sat in the
living room of his ranch home. A
bodyguard said he saw two men

No arrests have been made
reduced for any nation. A second
U.S. concession was to make the
restrictions immediate and not
retroactive.
The Nixon administration had
argued for three years to get
low-wage Asian nations to
restrict their shipments of
woolen and synthetic textiles to
the United States. Hong Kong,
Nationalist China (Taiwan) and
South Korea are expected to
follow Japan.
The agreement was initialed
today by David M. Kennedy,
Nixon's ambassador at large for
economic affairs, and Kakuei
Tanaka, Japan’s minister of
international trade. Agreement
came only after Nixon
threatened to impose quotas
under America’s "trading with
the enemy act” if Japan did not
come to terms.
Kennedy said signing of the
textile agreement will improve
relations between the two
countries and that Nixon had
asked him to “express his own
personal gratification that a
mutually satisfactory solution
has been found to this most
difficult and trying problem.”
But Japanese textile exporters
were outraged. A group of 250
textile workers demonstrated
outside the American embassy
at the time the agreement was
being signed. Kizo Shimoda,
deputy secretary of Japan’s
570,000-member federation of
textile workers i Zensen Domei),
called for the overthrow of the
Sat government.
Toyosaburo Taniguchi, head
of the Japan Textile Federation,
expressed relief the issue was
settled, criticized Sato’s han-
dling of the matter and said the
textile industry ‘Is ready to
resort to all available means to
oppose a governmental agree-
ment, including legal action or
disobedience.”
Junji Ito, chairman of the
Japan Spinner Association, said
"the government should assume
responsibility for its maladmi-
nistration and humiliating atti-
tude toward the United States.
He said Japan surrendered in
defiance of parliamentary oppo-
sition to the agreement.
