Fifth Taproom
In Lockup War
Giving the police records of
both its operator and appar-
ent owner to support his plea,
police chief L. J. Hilbert
Thursday asked the county at-
torney to begin padlock pro-
ceedings against a fifth tav-
ern here, the Southern club,
116 S Hudson.
He named Rayburn Lawrence
Watson, 34, as its owner and
Watson's mother, Lillie May Lee,
57, as operator and the person to
whom the beer licenses for the
tavern were issued.
Club Was Cloaed Ones
"I am recommending this and the
other taproom* be closed because I
consider them congregating places for
people who do not respect the law* of
this city," Hilbert said. "I think a
determining factor is the kind of per-
son who runs them."
The southern club was voluntarily
closed in August. 1946. after a cleanup
drive by Hilbert, and the beer licenses
surrendered by Watson.
Records in the county clerk's office
show the tavern was reopened in the
name of Lillie May Lee. She was is-
sued her latest county license in July.

Lt. CoL H. P. Whiteford. the inspec-
* ■ tion was ordered by the puppet mayor
of eastern Berlin, Friedrich Ebert.
“Tell Ebert to come to my office

The German policeman later noti-

officer would attempt to settle the dis-
pute. 4
In adjoining offices, American and
French liaiaon officers stopped pack-

the British-German police dispute.
The United States.. Britain and
France had ordered their liaison of-
ficers to close their offices In the city
hall to avoid any suggestion they rec-
ognized the new communist rump gov-
ernment of the eastern Berlin.
Withdrawal of the western liaison
officers from the city hall will sever
i. the last formal link between the east

divided city.

Spending for radio repair parts, tools and gadgets for
sheriff’s office Thursday was revealed 49 times highter
n the combined radio repair bill of the city police, fire
water departments.
Figures on file in, the office of Joe Pitts, county clerk,
indicate the present rate of county spending on sheriff’s
cruiser radios will exhaust the entire year’s appropriation
for that purpose by the time Newt Burns, sheriff-elect takes
office January 2.
Where the parte are now and why nearly one-half of the
sheriff’s radio equipment is not in good working order are ques-
tion* awaiting the return of A. J. Spooner, undersheriff and radio
technician. He is reported to be out of the state on official duty.
Spooner, as radio technician, wrote the purchase orders on which
■ the -repair parte were bought. As
undersheriff, he approved the
purchase orders.
” Only »1.4«S Left
The records showed Thursday that
only $1,465 out of the original budget
appropriation of $5,000 for the sher-
iff’s radio equipment remains un-
encumbered.
On the books, the sheriff’s equip-
iment consists of 21 radio unite. A
spot check among deputies Thursday
indicated only 10 are now in working
order. Since July 1, however, the
records indicated. $2,236 has been
covered in purchase orders signed by
Spooner for radio repair parts.
As of Thursday, the records show
order* for part* totaled more than
$700 in November, but claims based on
the orders have not yet been approved
by county commissioners.
Comparisons Shown
In comparison with the city’s radio
maintenance costs, all figures were
broken down to exclude purchases of
new equipment and limit compari-
sons to repair parte only as far as they
could be identified.
Following is a list of comparison*. ------ - —--v-------- i..
with city figures first and county Thursday to Suchow, important government base 211 miles nortn-
total* second: ! J
Total units owned—162 and 21;
unite in oervice—162 and 14; budget
operations cost—$1.25$ and I5.4M;
budgeted, per unit—$8 (162 units)
and $238 <21 unit*).
Actual maintenance eoat—$1,250
(12 months) and $3.13$ (5 months);
maintenance per month—$104 and
$313; same, per unit per month—
64 cents and $31.30.
The list indicates th* maintenance
cost per unit in service each month
averages 49 times more on county
radio equipment than the same cost on
city equipment.
During the year George Goff went
out as sheriff, the county purchased
eight pieces of radio equipment. Eight
other pieces were bought in 1947 out
of th* sheriff’s radio budget. Last year,
five complete auto transmitter-receiver
sets were purchased.
County purchase order* show th*
eight new unite were bought on sepa-
rate requisitions and so split that the
"receiver” unit*, billed at $200 each,
were paid for on claims which omitted
$80 for each unit.
This was billed separately as

Issued to Some Firm
All the purchase orders for both the
units and the accessories were issued
to the same firm, and bore the same
date. The orders bore consecutive
numbers, from 212 through 223. Total
cost of the purchase was $2,240.
Requlaitlons tor repair parts were
handled similarly.

individual requisitions, however, are ’

and information" pertaining to radio
equipment. i

Fire Threatens Town
In LeFlore County
BOKOSHE. Dec. 2—‘UP -Fire
undetermined origin destroyed the
Branson building here Thursday and
for a time threatened the entire busi-
ness district of this Leflore county
“Old Gold,” mining town.
Firemen from Spiro and Poteau
came here to aid Bokoshe’s volunteer
fire-fighters as flames ate through the
building used as a warehouse and
damaged the roofs' of two nearby
structures.
First reports, later corrected, said
the whole main section of Bokoshe
was ablaze. Later reports said only
the Branson building, a storehouse for
hay and peanuts, was destroyed.
The fire -which broke out at 3 a. m
was still smouldering late in the
morning. *
Missouri's Segregation Shaken
must provide equal education facili-
ties for Negro students."
Summing up the MU regent*’
finding^ th* statement recom-
mended that the equal rights com-
mittee seek a change in Missouri
law to permit enrolment in the-uni-
versity and the teachers colleges of
Negro student* “in those divisions
and curricula where Instruction of
equivalent character" is not afforded
by Lincoln university for Negroes in
Jefferson City.
It was not immediately clear a*
to what such changes would actual-
ly mean as Lincoln university—a
state institution—maintains college*
of art* and sciences, law. journal-
ism and division* of education, agri-
culture. home economic*, mechanic
arte and music.
Company Is Accused
•’Yesterday," he iald in a statement,
"members from locals of the United
Steel Workers throughout the state
rallied to the support of Kalamazoo
pickets. No one made any attempt to
conceal their identity.”
He accused the Shakespeare com-
panies of importing strikebreakers
from other state* to build up the pres-
ent working force of about 500. Only
20 of 700 steelworker* who walked out
nearly three months ago have returned
to work, according to Shane.
The.strikebreakers, the union leader
said, have "brandished arms” at pick-
et* without anv interference from local
police. They also have heaped “filthy
and obscene abuse” on pickets. Shane
added.
Officials Ar* Silent
There was no immediate comment
from the Shakespeare officials on his
statement.
Law enforcement agencies were out
in force Thursday In the protection Of
two struck factories of the Shake-
speare companies.
Approximately 75 city and state po-
lice and sheriff’s men flung 3 guard
around the plants.
Authorities said they were taking
the step a* a precaution despite the
absence of any threat of renewed
trouble. Since Wednesday’s dawn raid
the scene had been relatively quiet.
VflNie officers stood by. about 200
non-striking workers passed through
picket lines without incident this
morning.
