Glass called the ruling "an embar-
rassment to me ax an individual and
to my office." It brought praise from
a spokesman of the teachers' group,
however.
Armstrong held that Glass had ad-
mitted not finishing a five-year re-
valuation program by the January
1972 deadline and that another pro-
gram due to be completed by Janu-
ary 1977 will not be finished on time._
Glass said he does not know if he
will appeal the ruling.

Stigler youth
OKMULGEE — A 19-year-old Stig-
ler youth was killed late Monday
when the car he was riding in went
out of control inside Okmulgee State
Park eight miles west of here and
slammed broadside into a tree.
The highway patrol said Cleveland
D. Bray was dead on arrival at an
Okmulgee Hospital.
The driver of the auto, Geoffrey
W. Bonesteel, 19, Marietta, Ga., and
another occupant were treated and
released, the patrol reported.
The accident raised the state's
1976 traffic toll to 711, compared
with 661 killed to date last year.
Meanwhile, the patrol today tenta-
tively identified the victim of an
auto-pedestrian accident in Okfuskee
County Sunday night as James
Thomas Franklin, a 45-year-old wal-
kaway convalescent from the Lake-
view Nursing Home at Henryetta.
He was struck and killed while
walking down the middle of a county
road east of Okemah.

Barn, hay go up in flames
Watching "a lot of money and work" go up in
smoke, Madill rancher "Doc" Watkins stands by help-
lessly while a weekend fire destroys his barn and
government's prosecution team, told ----------------------------------------------
the court he had Landrith's state-
ment that Trippet actually authored
the opinions.
Earlier in the day the gross and
net Income of Cross was discussed.
Don Richards, Home-Stake secre-
tary-treasurer, testified that while
Cross was paid $245,000 for five
years work, most of that went to sal-
aries for accountants and for over-
head with a net profit of about $6,000
a year.
Defense attorney B. Hayden Craw-
ford questioned Richards at length.
"If records show the average net
profit to the Cross firm each year
from Home-Stake was $6,000, would
you say that was right?" Crawford
asked.
"I'd say it was generous,
ards replied.
Richards, still employed by
Home-Stake, said that a large na-
tional firm prepared a single report
for Home-Stake and charged $57,000.
He said it was his opinion the Cross
firm was paid considerably less for
much more work.
Previous witnesses testified they
thought more than half of Cross'
earnings came from Home-Stake.
