Gov. Hall, who recently
staged a $100 per plate
fund raising dinner to
rjuse $350,000 for his re-
election campaign, said to-
day he wants one dollar
bills to finance the biggest
load of his campaign next
year.
Hall appeared before the
Oklahoma Cijy- University
Taft Institute as a noon
speaker and he centered
his talk around corruption
•in political campaigning
with emphasis on the Wa-
tergate affair.
Hall told the institute
members, "If I run for re-
election, I want $1 bill do-
. nations to carry the big-
gest load of the cam-
paign.
"I want volunteers to do
most of the work and final-
ly, I want every eligible
voter to go the polls in No-
vember, 1974."
He said, "Then, and only
then, will democracy have
its finest hour in Ameri-
can. Then we will have a
more perfect union."
The governor in his
speech deplored the exces-
sive amounts of money
being spent in American
political campaigns, point-
ing out that Democrat
George McGovern spent
more than $30 million and
President Nixon $52 mil-
lion in the 1972 campaign.
Hall said, "That's too
much money and it is too
tempting for big-money
boys."
"We need to try, at
least try, alternatives of
financing," the governor
said. "We have seen,
through the Watergate,
how the old system tends
to corrupt."
The governor said he felt
there should be a limit on
campaign spending and he

Police and fire dispatch-

One woman called police

Police said the calls

An Anthony store was

Sgt. Russell Rigsby, in-

He said some suspects

A 16-year-old girl was
raped early this morning
by a man who first
knocked her husband un-
conscious with a hammer,
police said.
Police said a man en-
tered the duplex on Okla-
homa City's near southside
through a rear door,
picked up the hammer and
struck the girl's 20-year-
old husband on the head as
he lay in bed. He then
threatened to strike the
unconscions man again jf
the girl did not comply.
The couple had been
married about a month,
police said.

the dwindling state monies
could be saved to use as

"We now have let some

we need to save the state
money to put with federal
dollars when they come,"
Mrs. Orr said.

What Miss Haines has

of a night club audience
containing Oklahoma City
vice detectives.
That was Feb. 22, 1972
and since that time, the
courts have been haggling
over the indecent exposure
charge that followed.
However, the high court
ruled last week that her
conviction was invalid
since the state did not
prove its case.
In part, the court said
the testimony of a veteran
police vice officer that he
was offended "is not suffi-
cient to meet the state's
burden of proof."
But Grove today prom-
ised that there would be no

thinking.

Mrs. Orr said stale high-
way department officials
hope tnat the appropria-
tion bill will be passed in
July so they will know
soon wnat the state s iund-
ing for the coming year
will be.
Then, she said, contracts
for paving work on I-44U
can be let.
"We would have let the
bids in May had we been
sure of appropriations.
Now, the earliest we can
hope lor is September and
that puts us near bad
weather time," sne said.
"The very least we‘ll be
behind is six months," she
noted.

man said state officials

last fall that they needed
to start being conservative
in appropriating state and

John B. Connally said to-

governor called for specif-

lem industries, possibly in-
cluding oil producers.
Connally said he certain-
ly does not see any need
for a federal tax increase
at this time, declaring it
would be "grossly misun-
derstood" by the public.
He added, "I don't think it
would get through Con-

Work on major new fed-
eral highway projects in
Oklahoma — including
1-440, Oklahoma City's new
west by-pass — will soon
stop because federal funds
to continue the work have
run out.
At least a six-month de-
lay will result, a highway
official said.
