At NW 48 and Vermont there is a large collection of

Wurtz was reported in fair

The violent wind and
rain storm knocked out
two 69,000-volt power lines

Baggett and Speaker
Privett have been at odds
ever since the speaker
thwarted Baggett’s at-
tempt to ratify the federal
constitutional amendment.
The Oklahoma City sena-
tor Inserted the ratifica-
tion in a house resolution
designed to facilitate reg-
istration of the 18-21-year-
old group following a vote
on the issue.
Privett ruled Baggett's
action constituted “shuck-
ing’’ and could not be con-
sidered by the house. Priv-.
ett has also buried another
ratification resolution in
committee.
Referring to SJR 4, the
. vote to change the Oklaho-
’ ma constitution, Baggett
said, “Mr. Privett uses it
as an excuse for not letting
the house vote on ratifica-
tion of the U.S. Constitu-
tion.
"I don’t think there has
been a more clear-cut ex-
ample of the differences
between the thinking and
attitude of the house and
senate than on this.’’

Baggett noted the senate
passed the amended house
resolution 39-0.
“He’s opposed to it,’’
Baggett said of Privett’s
attitude on the 18-year-old
vote, “and he thinks the
people will vote it down.”
Baggett said it would be
possible to finish action on
the resolution in the 1972
session and still have a
vote in time for younger
voters to ballot in all con- .
tests in the 1972 primaries.
“Oklahoma in the last
five years has had three
spring elections,” Baggett
said. “But if we have it
that late it will cut down
on registrations. We really
need a year’s lead time."
Baggett said he would
prefer to have an election
in early December of this
year. Then, registrations
would begin Jan. 1.
“We’ve had three elec-
tions in December and
they all won by an over-
whelming m a r g 1 n,” he
said.
As things stood today,
the question of the 18-
yrar-old vote ballot was
still up in the air and the
legislature has only six
more legislative days to
resolve the conflict.
Regardless of the out-
com e, 18-year-olds will
vote in national elections 1

congress and a VS. Su- '

City civil defense offi-
cials sounded storm warn-
ing sirens shortly before
10:30 p.m. over the north-
west and southern portions
of the city.
Leroy Hansen, city civil
defense director, said no
tornado hit in the city
area, but sirens were
sounded because of strong
indications that tornadoes
were forming.
Hansen said most dam-
age reported in the Okla-
homa City area was from
a north-soutJf line running
along Pennsylvania and
extending west to Yukon.

Main street the width of

Traffic signals around

periods during the night.
Most of the problem was

Mrs. Hirst that Hill’s ques I
tions were "irrelevant, im- I
material and repetitious ' I

asked Judge Barnett tn I

the group voted Wednes- I

nor Cooper was required victim."

The signal light at Gate 7 on SE 29 at Tinker Air
Force Base and the light st Midwest Blvd, are mistimed
at the rush hour of the evening which ties up traffic. I
thought maybe this could be brought to the attention of
soTnewne and these two lights could be looked Into. G.M.,
McLoud.
W.D. Baker, city manager at Midwest City, tells us
’ these signals are accurately timed, but agrees that
congestion occurs during the rush hours. He said the so-
lution is not simply adjusting the timing on the signal. A
traffic engineer study is in progress which will suggest north central
