LOCUST GROVE—Workers today began installing
new chlorinating equipment in Locust Grove’s water
system which has been blamed for an outbreak of hepa-
titis.
No new cases were reported Sunday, but health offi-
cials feel 200 or more may have become infected during
the outbreak last week.
1 More gamma globulin serum was sent Sunday to the
Grand Valley Hospital at Pryor for additional innocnla-

week.

Dangers Cited
A Christmas tree—symbol of every-
thing joyous—can be a vicious killer if
carelessly handled, the Oklahoma County
Red Cross Chapter reminded today.
Alfred Hill, safety programs director,
had these suggestions for warding oft
tragic fires:
After selecting a fresh tree (it’s too dry
if needles shed at the touch), set it up
away from walls and beat sources. It
should stand in a water-filled container.
The safest electrical fixtures are those
carrying the Underwriters Laboratory,
and used ones need checking for wear
and tear on insulation and plugs. They
should stay within the home’s circuit load
and unplugged when unattended.
Hill also passed along a special tip
from the National Safety Concil: angel
hair and snow spray, even if labeled non-
flammable, may be highly combustible
when used together.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Nixon administration
has come under new at-
tack from both sides of
Congress for its action last
March eliminating news
briefings on unemploy- termination of the brief-
ment and cost-of-living fig- ings prompted a chorus of
criticism that the action
was politically motivated
and aimed at presenting a

Hodgson was telling news-
men at the White House
subcommittee, that the unemployment dip
had “great significance.”
In ending the briefings,
the Labor Department
said, it wanted to “avoid

Moorhead’s panel urged
Hodgson to reinstate the
briefings, calling them im-

newsmen, businessmen,
investors, and all levels of
government.
Proxmire, in a state-
ment released this morn-

areas of the administra-
tion but zeroed in on the
Labor Department, too.
“It Is time to stop this
blatant politicizing of the
economic indicators,”
Proxmire said. He also
recommended resumption
of the news briefings.
