Temperature
Out of Sight!
By John Gillie
The temperature in Oklahoma City has liferal-
ly dropped out of sight.
If you don’t believe it, eyeball the downtown
spot which for 18 years has housed the Liberty
, ,*Bank time and temperature sign on Robinson.
A disheveled mop of wires juts from the corner
where the sign had been.
Truth of the matter Is, though, the current cool
wave had nothing to do with the sign's disappear-
ance.
With Liberty and City National Banks playing
musical chairs — Liberty is moving to Liberty
Towers and City National to the old Liberty build-
ing — the sign’s fate was sealed weeks ago.
Fred Boston, City National president, said the
sign was removed so the bottom floors of the build-
ing could be sandblasted in preparation for the City
National opening there on Sept. 7.
The sign, minus the temperature and time in-
formation, will be back in its familiar spot. The

Oklahoma City’s record performance started at
midnight when a temperature of 61 broke a July 29
record that had stood since 1892. Back then, the low
was 62.
From midnight to 7 a.m., the record low for
July took a beating almost hourly as the mercury
plunged. The previous July 30 record low was 63 in
1965.
The monthly city record survived the on-
slaught, however. On July 21 of last year, the tem-

’ Oklahoma was simply the coolest this morning
— cooler than it has ever been on a July 30, by a
record-toppling six degrees.
Wiping out the July sizzle was a 57-degree
reading, only one degree warmer than that of San
Francisco and six degrees warmer than the lowest
Denver temperature.
Everyone was being affected by the same cold
front, and the weatherman said it won’t get hot
again until August.
August, unfortunately, arrives Sunday.

NEW YORK (AP) - An
interview with entertainer
ceptable” a steel industry George Jessel on the NBC
Today Show was cut short
this morning after Jessel
referred to the New York
Times and the Washington
Post as “Pravda.”
Jessel, dressed in a dec-
orated, military-style uni-
form. which he called a
USO uniform, made the re-
contract offer for 350,000
workers.
“It's a very stingy of-
fer," said Steel Workers
vice president Joseph Mo-
lony.
But, he added, negotia-
tions were continuing be-
tween the union and nine
major steel firms in an ef- marks twice during the in-
terview with NBC news-
men Edwin Newman and

Newman terminated the
interview about a minute
before its scheduled con-
clusion.

replied that the shipment

Molony told newsmen
there was little chance the
union would extend the
contract deadline if there
were no agreement by
then.
"That isn't the mood of
the conference,” Molony
said after a meeting of 600
local union leaders.
"They want a settlement
and they want it in Au-
gust,” he added.
The 600-member union
conference, which will
vote either on any contract
offer or a strike, was re-
cessed until 8 p.m. when
union leaders are sched-
uled to make a further re-
port.
"There is absolutely no
hope they will approve the
offer on the table now,”
Molony said.

it’s almost childish.”

TOKYO (AP) - A Japa-
nese jetliner with 162 per-
sons aboard and a Japa-
nese jet fighter collided
over northern Japan today
and crashed in what ap-
peared to be the worst dis-
aster in aviation history.
The pilot of the F86F
fighter parachuted to safe-
ly, but the national police
said there was little or no
hope of any survivors from
the Boeing 727 airliner.
The airline, All Nippon
Airways, said only one for-
eigner was aboard the big
jet, the American flight
engineer, Donn M. Carpen-
ter of Detroit, Mich. He
had been flying for the line
since February 1970.
By nightfall, the police
said, 56 bodies had been
recovered in a mountain-
ous area about 300 miles
northeast of Tokyo.
A piece of the tail sec-
tion of the plane was
found,, and the bodies re-
covered were badly man-
gled. Shortly after dark-
ness fell, national police
said other parts of the air-
liner, including a piece of
the fuselage, had been
found.
Search and rescue work-
ers planned to push
through the rough terrain-
throughout the night in the
virtually hopeless search
for survivors. There were
2.000 self defense troops,
621 national police and 24
helicopters assigned to the
task.
Prime Minister Eisaku
Sato cut short a brief va-
cation to meet with offi-
cials investigating the dis-
aster.
The air self defense
force said it had ordered a
temporary halt in training
flights while the investiga-
tions are going on. Keiki-
chi Masuhaka. director
general of the self defense
agency, expressed apolo-
gies for the collision and
condolences to the families
of the victims.
The airliner was on an
afternoon flight from Hok-
kaido, Japan’s northern-
most main island, to To-
kyo. It had 155 passengers
—including a 10-month-old
baby—and a crew of seven
aboard, the line said.
Most of the passengers
were returning from a tour
