State transportation commission-
ers today gave preliminary approv-
al to two major roadbuilding proj-
ects in Oklahoma City — the Lin-
coln-Byers connection and a 1.2
mile extention of Shields Blvd.
Construction bids will be opened
in January for the two projects,
which will cost an estimated $2.6
million in state and federal highway
funds.

Crosstown Expressway detour will

morning it would file a legal com-
plaint Wednesday challenging the
state's prevailing wage law. which
sets standard wage rates on public
construction projects.
Enacted in 1965, the law affects
construction of new schools, munici-
pal buildings, fire stations and
roads — any project financed with
state, county or municipal taxes.
The law empowers the state com-
mission of labor to set prevailing
wage rates for each of the state's 77
counties. The rates are revised
annually.
Dudley Mitchell, executive vice
president of the builders group, said
the prevailing wages usually turn
out to be the same as union ^ages
— relatively high rates that he
claimed are financially crippling
rural school districts and local units
of government.
"What this law has done in the
outlying areas of the state is in-
crease the cost of school construc-
tion by 15 to 30 per cent," Mitchell
said.
spies
CHICAGO (AP) — The FBI spied
on the chief of medicine at Cook
County Hospital here for 30 years,
.the Chicago Daily News said today.
Dr. Quentin Young, 54, said in re-
action to the disclosure that he was
stunned by the extent of the surveil-
lance, detailed in 3,200 pages of
reports. It began in 1948, when he
graduated from Northwestern Uni-
versity medical school, and contin-
ued at least until 1975.
The $1.4 million project is only
part of a major interchange that
eventually will link 1-40, 1-35 and I-
235, also known as the Central
Expressway
The 1-235 project has been ap-
proved by state and city officials,
and consultants are preparing pre-
liminary plans for the project. The
expressway will connect the 1-40
and 1-35 interchange with the
Broadway Extension.
Construction of the Lincoln-Byers
connection could begin as early as
next summer, transportation offi-
cials said.
Oklahoma shared today in an as-
sortment of weather conditions
which ranged in some sections of
the nation from blizzard conditions
to severe thunderstorms as a blast
of arctic air and low presaure mixed
things up.
Fog, rain and drizzle which began
late Sunday in the Oklahoma City
area were forerunners of increasing
cloudiness which was to bring scat-
tered showers possibly mixed with
snow across most of the state today,
said the National Weather Service.

A young man found shot to death
early Sunday along a northeast Ok-
lahoma City street was tentatively
identified today as a Ft. Sill soldier
missing since Saturday from the
Lawton Army base.
Oklahoma City police detectives
and Army representatives were ex-
pected to attempt possitive identifi-
cation on the slain man this after-
noon. The man's bullet-ridden body
was found about 2:30 a.m. Sunday
dumped in the 900 block of NE 3.
Officials said the victim, who had
been shot several times in the back
of the head with a small-caliber pis-
tol. was believed to be Kimble Gray,
a Milwaukee private who had been
stationed at Ft. Sill undergoing spe-

The quest for relief from pain is
leading Oklahomans south of the
border and toward almost certain
disaster, an Oklahoma City endocri-

"Some of these people are almost

tions they are receiving from
Mexico," said Dr. James L Males,
