South Koreans
Will Take Over
SEOUL (AP) — The South
Korean Ministry of Justice
notified the U. S. Army
Wednesday it would exercise
jurisdiction over S-4 Freder-
ick H. Bassett, 19, Wilton,
Conn., who is charged with
murdering a Korean woman.
the military budget of any
foreign power, regardless
of size.
The Pottstown Mercury,
a morning newspaper, de-
cided Wednesday to send
Andorra a $5 check after
reading the tiny principali-
ty’s military budget would
amount to only that much.
The money is for ammuni-
tion for Andorra's 20-man
police force to fire ceremo-
nial salutes for visiting
dignitaries.
Andorra is a 191-square-
m i 1 e principality with
about 5,200 population in
the Pyrenees Mountains
between France and
Spain.
U. S. Rep. Lawrence
Coughlin (R-Pa.) said he
thought the gift was a won-
derful idea.
“Although I doubt
whether the military ar-
mament purchased
through this donation will
ever be used to launch an
attack on the United
States, there is still a ques-
tion of legality involved,”
he said.
The Mercury, in a state-
ment to the Principality of
Andorra, wrote in part:
“We do this in confi-
dence that the sum will be
used only for defense and
ceremonial salutes and
never to launch an offen-
sive against the United
States<)r its allies.”
The newspaper said the
check and its statement
will be hand delivered to
officials of Andorra.

In conference committee,
the final bill will be drafted
by selected house and senate
leaders.
When the conference com-
mittee report comes back to
the house and senate, those
bodies can vote only to ac-
cept or reject the bill. They
cannot make changes in it
on the floor.
However, Grantham point-
ed out that an individual sen-
ator can make a record of
his views by moving to re-
ject the conference commit-
tee report and instruct the
committee members to write
the legislator's views into
the bill in committee.
The bill now returns to the
house.

This complaint was investigated by the city street

are reported in a good state of repair and no work is an-
ticipated in this area.

Is Oklahoma giving this any thought? S. W. T.
A spokesman for the Department of Public Safety
says this is being considered, but no definite decision
has been reached.
There are some people in the 1900 block SW Grand

THE HUNTLEY-BRINKLEY
REPORT
Our gas bill jumped $15 last month. They say they
have two different readings, but one man said they
couldn’t even read the meter because the dials were bro-
ken. Can you help us get a settlement? E. F.
A spokesman for Oklahoma Natural Gas Co. said the
meter dial was damaged sometime after the regular me-
ter reading was made in December. The company
spokesman says they have now worked out a satisfacto-
ry adjustment with you.
spokesman said, but the
place has not been deter-
mined.
The principal alm of the
consultation will be to ex-
plore the urgency for estab-
lishing an ecumenical body
to facilitate International
co-operation in distributing
millions of dollars in devel-
opment funds contributed by
churches.
Christian churches in Eu-
rope and Canada have ear-
marked more than 110 mil-
lion a year for project devel-
opment In Asia, Latin Amer-
ica and Africa, but no deci-
sion has been made on spe-
cific uses of the money.
A special committee
formed as a structure group
also was named by the coun-
cil leaders. Some members
of the new committee are
expected to be assigned to
help prepare documents pin-
pointing priorities and pro-
posing structures to help
meet them.
Consultation Due
The structure committee
is scheduled to consult with
the council’s central com-
mittee in August at Kent,
England. The new commit-
tee, including 16 members,
is headed by United Metho-
dist Bishop James Mathews
of Boston, Mass.
An expected statement on
racism by the group meeting
in Tulsa is likely to be made
before It completes its work
in the Oklahoma session.
Second Group Meets
Across town, another reli-
gious group headed by Evan-
gelist Billy James Hargis,
Tulsa, continued its five-day
conference which, so far,
has produced considerable
criticism of the World Coun-
cil of Churches.
Hargis said Wednesday
that more than 1,000 persons
are expected to attend the
Christian Crusade Leader-
ship Conference before it
ends Friday.
Critic Is Severe
Karl Prussion, a former
member of the Communist
Party in the U. S., has been
one of the most severe crit-
ics of the World Council of
Churches. He was scheduled
to make his second appear-
ance Wednesday before dele-
gates to the Christian Cru-
sade seminar.
Prussion, an O s h t e m o,
Mich., engineer who was a
Communist for four years
and then spent 12 years as a
counter-spy for the FBI, told
delegates at a Tuesday night
Christian Crusade rally the
Church Council has
“planned a hoax and fraud
on the Christian world.”
He contended that the
Communist and World Coun-
cil of Churches programs
are parallel in many re-
spects. “Both capitalize on
the problems of the people,”
he said.

With the blessing of legis-
lative leaders, a skeletonized
teacher retirement measure
(HB 1136) sailed through the
state senate Wednesday af-
ternoon over some protest.
The vote was 38-6.
House and senate leaders
have agreed the measure
will be written in a joint con-
ference committee, and this
plan drew fire on the senate
floor when the bill was
called up.
“You’re going to get a bill
back in the preparation of
which you had very little
voice,” said Sen, Bryce Bag-
gett (D-Oklahoma City).
“You are going to have a
choice of voting for the bill
or forevermore explaining
why you didn’t.”
Baggett was joined by sev-
eral other senators who
wanted to write the plan to
put the teacher retirement
system on
sound basis on the senate
floor — not in a joint com-
mittee.
“I hoped wp would take a
ilook at the thing,” said Sen.
Jack Short (R-Oklahoma
City).
The 32-page bill was cut to
one page in the senate edu-
cation committee Tuesday in
preparation for sending it to
a conference committee to
be written along lines agreed
on by legislative leadership,)
perhaps with the governor's
views incorporated.
Sen. Roy Grantham (D-
Ponca City) defended the
joint conference committee;
system.
“Any member of this sen-
ate can voice any opinion he
has to that conference com-
mittee,” Grantham said in
reply to Baggett’s com-
plaint.
