The editor and co-pub-

Knight, praised Gaylord
for his "steadfastness of
purpose."
"Through the years," he
said, "Mr. Gaylord has not

well known."
He said Gaylord's recent
decision to ban advertising
for R-rated movies from
his newspapers is an indi-
cation of his moral cour-
age.
"Thank you sir, for 100
years of goodness, decency
and purpose," he said.

and then execute all the
hostages on American

quoted as saying.
"When we heard radios

"It was unbelievable,"
Elsberry said. Compared

there was a drought of re-

February.
R. Mitchell, 35, as saying a
man walked up to the
pharmacy counter about
10:40 p.m., told him he had
a gun in his pocket, and
demanded narcotics.
Police issued a radi-
ogram for the arrest of the
suspect described as a 20-
year-old, about five feet,
seven inches tall, weighing
about 150 pounds.
Police said the man was
last seen wearing a blue
jacket and a V-neck sweat-
er, driving south on West-
ern in a late model blue
car.
He has built lamps, chairs,
chess tables and has pan-
eled the inside of his
home.
He also hunts with his
father, swims and raises
tropical fish.

Gaylord responded to
the praise by saying he
has been taken aback by
the attention that his birth-
day anniversary has got-
ten.
"One of the greatest sat-
isfactions which I have de- I
rived from my connection J
with The Oklahoma Pub- !
lishing Co. during the last 1
70 years is the fact that so
many who once were em-
ployees of our company
have gone on to fame and j
fortune and notable
achievements since leav-
ing us," he said.
He cited Chester Gould,

his publishing and broad-
casting empire . . . and
was pushing vigorously in
all directions to make
Oklahoma City the great
city that it is today."
And he added, "He has
participated in just about '
every movement to im-
prove newspapers."
One campaign in partic-
ular had an untold effect
on newspapers throughout
the south and southwest,
another of the speakers
said.
R. W Wortham Jr.,
chairman of the board of
Southland Paper Mills,
Inc., Lufkin, Tex., said
Gaylord became convinced
in the mid-1930s that south-
ern pine trees were just as
suitable for newsprint pro-
duction as were northern
trees.
Gaylord's leadership re-
soon. Tax refunds are ex-
pected to total about $22
billion this year, about $8
billion more than a year
ago.
The reason is that Con-
changed the tax-
withholding tables to try to
make the amount withheld
more closely match the
amount of tax due. But
this resulted in many tax-
payers having too much
money withheld from their
paychecks.
Elsberry said another
reason for refund delays,
as reported in some parts
of the cquntry, is that
many taxpayers are fail-
ing to fill out revenue-
sharing questions on the
"That picture changed
overnight," he said. "Last
week, for example, we had
5,324,000 returns, a million
more returns than in the
same week last year. Now,
we have in excess of two
million more returns than
at the same point last
year."
One theory is that many
wage-earners, after get-
ting their W-2 forms, are
anxious to get fat refunds
in a
gram.
Police reports issued
Thursday night after the
boy's arrest identified the
weapon as a four-inch
kitchen knife.
Police said they learned
the girl's alleged attacker i
apparently became angry t
when he believed that
Lisa, one of two children
of Mr. and Mrs. James
Robinson, had lied to him.
Chief Lyons said, howev-
er, police had not yet es-
tablished a motive.
Mrs. Robinson, the girl's
mother, said in an inter-
view she went to the boy's
parents about a month ago
because Lisa said he was
"picking on" her.
