County corruption called
cancer on the body politic
Obituary
OKIAHOMA CITY (UPI)
— County government
corruption Ls “a cancer on
the body politic,” a federal
judge said in sentencing the
fourth person convicted in
Oklahoma in a massive
federal probe.
Judge Luther Eubanks
sentenced former Harper
County Commissioner
William L. Bookstore
Thursday to three years in
prison and fined him $5,000.
Trials have been
scheduled Monday for
Oklahoma County Com-
missioner J.P. Richardson
Stephens County Com-
missioner Eston Ruel Fisher
and Canadian Count)
Commissioner Waynt
Cooksey.
Bookstore, 50, pleaded
guilty to five counts of mail
fraud on the day he was
scheduled to stand trial on
une extortion charge and 16
counts of mail fraud.
Eubanks, in sentencing
Bookstore, called county
government corruption “a
cancer on the body politic
that must be killed."
Bookstore was indicted
along with four other
Oklahoma commissioners
and a materials supplier in
connection with an extensive
federal investigation into
corruption in county
government in Oklahoma,
Texas and Arkansas.
Richardson, 64, checked
himself into an Oklahoma
City hospital Wednesday
complaining of chest pains.
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Bill Price said he did not
know whether Richardson
would go on trial as
scheduled, saying the matter
would be left to a judge.
A hospital spokeswoman
said Thursday Richardson
was resting comfortably and
had been removed from the
facility's post-coronary care
unit. The spokeswoman said
the commissioner had not
suffered a heart attack
Prosecutors accused
Bookstore of requiring 10-
percent kickbacks before he
would deal with material
suppliers. He was also ac-
cused of conspiring with a
supplier to create fictitious
invoices and split the
proceeds
Richardson faces one
extortion charge and 14
counts of mail fraud Fisher,
55, was indicted on one ex-
tortion charge and 66 counts
of mail fraud. Cooksey, 44,
faces trial on one extortion
charge and 23 mail fraud
charges.
Others convicted in the
probe were Blaine County
Commissioner Orville Pratt,
who received a seven-year
sentence: Caddo County
matrials supplier Donald
Skipworth, 20 years, and
former Okfuskee County
Commissioner Emil Mont-
gomery, a $10,000 fine and
probation
Treasurer employees rate
perfect scores on lie test
OKIAHOMA CITY (UPI)
— All 22 employees of State
Treasurer Leo Winters rated
perfect scores on their lie
detector test report cards,
the veteran Democratic
officeholder reports.
Winters called a news
conference Thursday to
announce that all of his
employees had passed their
polygraph tests and were
cleared of wrongdoing in the
theft of $87,000 in state funds.
To complaints that the
mandatory tests might have
violated constitutional
rights, Winters said he was
protecting employees by
permitting them to prove
their innocence.
‘‘Iam pleased to report,”
Winters said, "that the poly-
graph tasting of employees
in the state treasurer’s office
has been completed, and that
all the other employees have
been cleared of any prior
knowledge or complicity in
mien maomiiuio stems

Winters said he paid a
private agent, Ron I .add, to
conduct the tests.
"The purpose of the tests
are twofold," Winters said:
“to detect any possible
additional wrongdoers, and
to clear the innocent.
Innocent people have the
right to have their names
protected.”
“Every employee par-
ticipated eagerly and en-
thusiastically in taking these
polygraph tests,” Wintprs
said
Winters said earlier that if
any of his 22 employees
refused, they would lie fired
at once.
Winters announced the
fund loss last week and said
Mrs. Kime had been
suspended. The loss was
covered by iasurance.

Hornebuyers
may get break
OKIAHOMA CITY (UPI)
— State housing officials are
preparing a $250 million
bond issue that could give
first-time hornebuyers a
break from high mortgage
interest rates, an official
said.
Robert Haney, chairman
of the Oklahoma Housing
Finance Agency, said the
$250 million bond mortgage
package could be available
by the middle of September.
He estimated that mor-
tgage interest rates would be
a maximum of 13 percent,
but added that predicting the
exact rate was difficult
A $150 million bond issue in
1980 financed 3,400
Oklahoma home purchases
at 11 percent interest.

Medicare woes
to be discussed
Medicare’s reimburse-
ment system discriminates
against 60 percent ot
Oklahoma’s elderly, an
Oklahoma Health Systems
Agency (OK-HSA) study
shows.
The inequities in the
reimbursement system will
be discussed in a July 28
meeting at 1:30 p.m. in the
Aieawide Agency on Aging
Conference Room at 200
Civic Center in Tulsa.
Similar meetings will occur
this month at seven other
locations in Oklahoma.
The meetings are designed
to inform the public and to
solicit support in alerting our
state congressional
delegation.
Among the inequities
identified are:
—The majority of
Oklahoma’s elderly live In
areas where Medicare
payments are half that of
other beneficiaries.
—A visit to a doctor out-
side a metropolitan area
may cost four times as much
"out-of-pocket.”
—Some areas require
twice as many office visits to
satisfy the current $60
deductible.
—The inflation cap has
doubled the original rate
differences set in 1973.
“Public support in ad-
dressing these issues will be
essential,” Greg McFarland,
OK-HSA Development
Specialist, said, "in order to
encourage the state
Medicare carrier and Health
Care Finance
Administration to im-
plement the changes being
recommended."
