A bill to revive the death penalty was approved over-
whelmingly by the state senate Wednesday night, but
only after nearly seven hours of debate and a nearly
successful move to carry out executions at county court-
houses and televise them.
The bill passed on a 38-4 vote, but It was held on the
calendar on a motion to reconsider. When it is released
by the senate the measure will go back to the house for
consideration of senate amendments.
Since the house passed it eerliar, 93-4, and the bill is a
major part of Gov. Hall’s program, final approval in
some form is certain.
Debate on the controversial bill kept the Senate in ses-
sion until almost 9 p.m.
national reputation as an
oil state doesn't seem to
have helped insulate it
from a gasoline shortage.
A survey of oil compa-
nies and other firms indi-
cates there will be fewer
gasoline stations open and
the prices will climb.
All this will occur within
the next few weeks, the
company officials agreed.

The house passed and
sent to the governor
Wednesday a bill to put a
four per cent limit on state
and local sales taxes until
March, 1975.
The bill had failed to
pass earlier.
The measure now goes
to the governor.
House members rejected
the proposal by a vote of
42-51 Monday, bpt it was
held on the calendar by a
motion to reconsider. It
passed Wednesday, 62-36.
A house committee ap-
proved a new state wildlife
conservation code Wednes-
day after removing a sen-
ate proposal to increase
hunting and fishing license
fees.
The state sales tax now
is two per cent and some
cities have adopted the
same tax.
Under the bill passed
Wednesday, cities would
be allowed to increase
their levies beyond two per
cent only if the state first
raised its tax. However,
cities voting a one per cent
tax solely for the support
of an educational or health
institution would be al-
lowed to raise their levy to
three per cent.
Lake Eufaula at Capacity
TULSA — Army engi-
neers have surrendered in
the battle to keep the dis-
trict's largest man-made
lake — Eufaula — from
becoming full with the re-
cent rains.
The lake, 15th largest
man-made lake in the
United States, is less than
an inch below the top of itn
flood control pool. It is at
586.91 feet, engineers re-
ported.
. The corps said Wednes-
day Eufaula was being fed
by 35,000 cubic feet of wa-
ter per second from its
sources, while hydrologists
were allowing the same
amount to flow out of the
dam's gates.
Many other lakes In the
Tulsa district were on the

The house earlier killed
a bill to make the present
fees permanent. Under
present statutes, the fees
would drop to $2.25 and $4
The code, passed earlier without approval of the
by the senate, called for
an increase in hunting and
fishing fees from the pres-
ent $3.25 each or $6 for a
combination license to
$4.25 and $8.
As sent to the house by
the house wildlife commit-
tee, the code still would re-
quire approval each year

ture every year.
Rep. Kenneth Converse,
D-Tishomlngo, chairman
of the house committee,
said the code also was
amended by his committee
to send it to a senate-house
conference committee aft-
er passage by the house.
State Feels Gas Shortage
TULSA — Oklahoma's they have cut back from 11
to seven.
"We just cant get the
product," said Bob Alves
of Topper. "One supplier
of gasoline has told us
we'll be cut off May 1."
Gibble Gas Co. at Cush-
ing had its supply cut to
less than half of the
amount available in Janu-
ary. Gibble will lose about
50 stations.
It is the worst "rip-off
ever perpetrated," said
Alves.
"It's chaos," said Frank
Parks of Parks Oil Co., an-
other Tulsa firm.

. Yielding to arguments that it would open the door to
wide-open gambling, Oklahoma house members voted
down Wednesday a bill to legalize pari-mutuel betting on
horse races.
However, Rep. Fred Boettcher, D-Ponca City, princi-
pal house author of the measure, passed earlier by the
senate, said he wants to make another try and served
notice he will move to reconsider the vote.
Boettcher will have three legislative days in which to
press his reconsideration motion.
The house voted down the betting bill, 38-60, after first
giving it tentative approval in committee of the whole.
There was much switching of votes during the final
tally on the bill and at one point the count was tied at
49-49. Supporters began backing off at that point.
' Boettcher said he lodged his reconsideration notice be-
cause he feels he actually needed to change only two
votes to pass the proposal.
The bill calls for a statewide vote to establish pari-mu-
tuel betting on a county option basis. It would allow bet-
ting only under the control of county or state fair
boards.
rise in the wake of Tues-
day night's rains.
Grand Lake was 90 per
cent full — less than a foot
from the top of its flood
pool. Lake Hudson was 92
per cent full and Fort Gib-
son reservoir was at 86 per
cent.
Hydrologists have been
trying to hold down lake
discharges into the river
system because of Arkan-
sas River flooding in east-
ern Oklahoma and western
Arkansas.
The 22 reservoirs admin-
istered by the Tulsa dis-
trict office of the engineers
Wednesday had six million
acre-feet of flood water
stored. That is comparable
to one foot of water over
an area of six million
acres.
