(Continued)
Senators backed off from the
brackets change when Republicans
T provided in their petition that
“ brackets would not be adjusted.
Republican legislators then en-
tered the scene by starting a peti-
tion for a vote of the people on a full
restoration of the deduction, an ac-
tion" that would drop state revenues
by $111 million
Draper proposes a $40.8 million
cut by restoring the federal deduc-
tion. His plan would make up the
revenue loss by adjusting tax brack-
ets and placing a 50 percent tax in-
crease on corporations.
Corporations now pay a 4 percent
income tax to the state, and Draper
would raise this to 6 percent
Draper also called for sales tax
exemptions on gas and electric ser-
vice and making up the revenue by
applying state sales tax to 3.2 beer
and cigarettes.
One longtime state tax expert
said: "What they're trying to do is
keep the cut to $15 or $20 million."
"Then the growth will offset the
loss and they (legislators) will have
the same amount of money to spend
next year." he said.
After objecting to all tax-cut pro-
posals, House Speaker Dan Draper
came forth with his own plan.
To phase in the deduction, the Re-
iT publican petition would impose the
* deduction over a three-year period
- with a third going into effect each
— year.
A plan by the state Senate would
« restore the full federal deduction,
~ but tax brackets would be adjusted
so revenue loss would amount to
X only $21,845,300
Nigh's plan would permit Oklaho-
mans to deduct the first $1,300 in
federal taxes paid, plus 5 percent of
the remainder up to $2,400
cutting income taxes and called for
a $20 million cut for Oklahomans
this coming year. He said he wants
to continue the federal deduction
restoration each year as long as the
state's economy grows.
State Sen. Gene C. Howard, presi-
‘' dent pro tempore, later said the Sen-
£ ate plan was being redrafted to give
"The taxpayer will get a cut, but
he will wind up paying the same tax
next year because his income will
have gone up."
the same tax cut, but revenues
would be recouped by applying a
surcharge to upper-income taxpay-
ers.

"All patients were fully informed
as to the experimental nature of the
laser procedure and of possible al-
ternative methods of therapy." he
said.
Initially, all patients treated had
uncontrolled pressure after one or
more glaucoma operations. After fa-
vorable results, treatment was ex-
tended to candidates for glaucoma
surgery, he said.
The laser therapy is used in very
severe cases of glaucoma where
medical control is not possible, Dr.
Wise said.
The meshwork is multilayered
and holes of one layer do not match
up with the next. Consequently, flu-
ids must flow through and between
the meshwork layers, he said.
He described the laser work as
making little "puckers" in the fluid
outlet meshwork to open up the flow
to the normal outlets.
In some glaucoma, this meshwork
is thought to collapse
"The puckers pull the meshwork
to allow fluid to flow," he said.

and civilian volunteers at-
tempted to dear the area. Suprato
reported many dead bodies were
sprawled on the streets and narrow
paths of Pucukan.
It was Sinila's fourth eruption in
51 years and the first since 1959.
The spokesman said the blowoff was
preceded by seven earth tremors
and an underground explosion.
Local police and health centers
set up emergency clinics and
kitchens. All roads leading to the
Dieng range were closed and vehi-
cles for miles around were comman-
deered and rushed to the area to try
to help with the rescue effort.
A search and rescue team of po-
licemen and soldiers was dis-
patched to the stricken area from
Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, and
President Suharto ordered all avail-
able government aid to the area.
The Indonesian archipelago has
at least 500 volcanoes. 127 of them
active, and averages 10 eruptions a
year. Mount Erapi. in central Java
not far from Sinila, is considered
the most active, emitting hot lava
and ashes almost every year. It is
under constant observation.
He emphasized that the results
are a report on a pilot study, which
must be confirmed by controlled in-
vestigations prior to general use.
Under a proposed grant, further
studies would be carried out at six
centers across the nation, Dr. W ise

ing intense Soviet interest in the
conflict
Woozes was taken info custody
about 3 p.m. Monday after guards
spotted him in the hospital at 1000
N Lee. The suspect had reportedly
been chased out by hospital person-
nel on several other occasions.
Pearce said hospital officials plan
to press the trespassing charge
against Woozes in municipal court.
Woozes was released on bond Tues-
day.
Reports by police and Pearce
were to be forwarded today to the
state nursing board.
Nursing board official Janelie
Hubbard said a board attorney was
to review the possibility of getting a
restraining order against Woozes
banning him from hospitals and

same day after telling an Associat-
ed Press reporter, “We never fired a
shot."
Intelligence sources said fighting
continued along much of the 450-
mile border but without major
movement of the front lines.
Radio Hanoi claimed today its
armed forces pul another 2,000 Chi-
nese troops out of action Tuesday,
bringing the four-day total to more
than 7,000. It said 12 more Chinese
tanks were set ablaze and destroyed
in the fighting, raising the claimed
toll of Chinese armor to nearly 100
since the invasion began Saturday
morning.
But intelligence analysts in Bang-
kok said the Vietnamese battle re-
ports have consistently exaggerated
the extent of the causualties.
Police said records reflect one of
the 1965 California impersonation
cases resulted in a six-month sus-
pended sentence.
The intelligence sources said the
troop movements by both sides indi-
cated a major battle for control of
Lang Son was shaping up.
The German news agency DPA re-
ported from Peking Tuesday that
Chinese troops were withdrawing
but the Chinese foreign ministry de-
nied the report and the official New
China news agency issued a one-
paragraph dispatch saying: “Fron-
tier forces of the Chinese People’s
Liberation Army in Kwangs! and
Yunnan are continuing to hit back
at Vietnamese aggressor troops."
Lang Son, a provincial capital, is
a key northeast border junction of
rail, river and road communica-
tions.
Moscow appeared to be marking
time, perhaps in response to urgent
American appeals to exercise ex-
treme caution and restraint.
"We don’t have jurisdiction over
unlicensed people, so we are looking
at a court order to prevent him from
doing this any more,” she said.
Records show Woozes was fined
$75 and court costs in 1972 for prac-
ticing nursing without a license af-
ter a similar Incident in Oklahoma
City.
Police said the latest masquer-
ade, which they say could have been
going on for several weeks, differs
in that he has not been caught giv-
ing medical treatment.
Police files show Woozes has been
arrested on a bogus-check counts in
California and in 1965 was arrested
on charges of impersonating medi-
cal personnel in two California cit-
ies.
Vietnamese diplomats said Chi-
nese troops have penetrated up to
12 miles into Vietnamese territory
at one place, but were "remaining in
place."
Intelligence sources in Bangkok
agreed, saying Chinese position on
crucial roads and railways leading
to Hanoi have changed little since
the first day of the invasion.
The Soviet news agency Tass said
the clash now stretches along the
entire 450-mile Sino-Vietnamese
border. It also accused Peking's
troops of using chemical warfare

the federal prohibition against driv-
ing more than 55.
He said the children of Oklahoma
are learning about law and order.by
"sitting in the back seat of a car apd
hearing their parents defy ’Smokey'
by use of a Fuzzbuster."
“Does that represent morality
and give them standards?" he
argued.
Townsend called it “federal black-
mail" that the states are required to
abide by the national 55 mph speed
limit or lose their federal highway
funds.
Entezam s brief statement an-
nouncing Kraus' arrest had not said
when he might be brought to trial,
what sentence he might get if con-
victed, where he was being held or
what condition he was in.
Chinese jets were reported strik-
ing targets well ahead of ground
troops, trying to knock out Viet-
namese missile sites, the sources
said.
Nurses
The French reporter quoted thd
Vietnamese commander of forces ad
Lang Son as saying, “We think they!
(the Chinese) have regrouped. Thed
will try to surround us.”
Intelligence sources in Bangkok
said there were large troop buildup^
on both sides but could not confirm
the infusion of the Vietnamese regu-
lars.
"So far as we know, the regular
army divisions have been kept in
reserve, well south of the fighting,"
one source said.
The latest reports from the battle
area indicated the Chinese forces
were overpowering, one source said
“There are lots and lots of Chinese
on the border," he said. “They have
plenty of capability."
Earlier Japanese reports from
Hanoi quoted Vietnamese officials
as saying the Chinese objective was
to occupy Lang Son and two other
key provincial cities north and
northwest of Hanoi — Cai Bang and
Lao Cai.
Schellenberger had indicated the
embassy believed Kraus was being
held by leftist guerrillas who heed
Khomeini's orders only when it suits
them. But Entezam's announcement
today was taken to mean that Kho-
meini guerrillas took the young man
from the hospital.
At Monks' insistence, a roll
vote was taken on the do-e- J
motion, which succeeded 10 to 3.
Only Monks and Reps. Billy F. Ken-
nedy. D-Pawhuska, and Bob Trent,
D-Caney, voted against the mea-
sure.
