Syria has demanded a

The senior official said
the Israelis and Syrians
are still very apart in their
negotiating position. Other
sources said, however,
that Israel is willing to
give up almost all the ter-

attacked Oct. 6, provided a
United Nations buffer zone
is established and the Syri-
ans thin out their armor
and troops in the Golan
Heights.

The Oklahoma House
already has haggled more
than six hours in full floor
debate over campaign con-
tribution disclosure legis-
lation.
But It has just begun to
fight over this and other
"reform" * measures which
state representatives say
are the makings for the
hottest battles in the
House this year.
Big battles are brewing
over the campaign report-
ing bill, a financial disclo-
sure requirement affecting
an estimated 35,000 Okla-
homans, a conflict of inter-
est ban which would espe-
cially touch lawyer legisla-
tors and on several other
"reform" items.
Joining the suggested
"Campaign Contributions
and Expenditures Act" in
the fire on the floor next
week will be a proposed
"Public Officials Financial
Disclosure Act."
Rep. Tom Rogers says
the financial disclosure bill
he is sponsoring in the
House for Gov. David Hall
probably will be taken up
Tuesday after having been
left on the calendar with-
out action for a week "so
people could study it." {
He said he expects de-
bate over the rules com-
mittee substitute for his
HB 1575 to be "even rough-
er" than it has been over
campaign reporting.
The bill would require
all elected officials and
candidates for office, as
well as agency heads and
many non-salaried mem-
bers of appointed boards,
to reveal their sources of
income.
It would include not only
state officials, but also
such persons as school
board and city council
members, city managers
and school superintendents
and members of city zon-
ing boards.
Disclosure of income
would include that of
spouses and other family
members in some cases.
Persons required to dis-
close could either file cop-
ies of their income tax re-
turns or follow a detailed
procedure spelled out in
the bill to reveal not only
income sources, but also
all interests in real estate,
businesses and corpora-

An Oklahoma Qty gen-
eral contractor charged to-
day that apartment own-
ers and tenants are being
made the victims of "cor-
ruption at City Hall."
Harvey Estes, builder of
two apartment complexes
involved in a controversy
over faulty wiring, made
the remarks after the city
building director ordered
electric power cut off to all
vacant units of La Plaza
Apartments and Penn
Grand Apartments.
Building Director Pat
Brian instructed Oklaho-
ma Gas & Electric Co. on
Wednesday to cut off pow-
er because the owner and
electrical contractor had
not corrected installation
deficiencies uncovered last
summer.
Estes said today the
apartment complexes
passed final inspections or
they never would have
been approved for perma-
nent meters.
The contractor was own-
er of both La Plaza, at 701
N MacArthur, and Penn
Grand, at SW Grand Blvd,
and Pennsylvania, but said
today he sold La Plaza
eight or nine months ago.
Estes also was the gen-
eral construction contrac-
tor for both, and said he
sub-contracted electrical
work to Thomas Smith.
He said Smith was "paid
