Even after senate passage of Its
draft bill there are other important
differences that would have to be
ironed out with the house.
The house voted only a two-year
extension and deferred actual induc-
tion of any young men until congress
gave Its approval. The senate bill pro-
vides a three-year extension of the
present law. No one has been drafted
since January, IMS. but military
leaders want a law kept on the books.

Lawton Legislator Concedes
Failure of Plan; Other States
Bar Disposal of Seized Stocks
By Hugh Hall
One of the authors of Oklahoma’s apparently unwork-
able law for sale of contraband whisky Wednesday said ha
would seek its repeal next year if he is returned to the leg-
islature.
Failure of the law to accomplish its stated purpose—to
convert seized whisky into revenue for the state instead of
destroying it—was conceded' by Rep. Charles G. Ozmun,
Law ton.
His statement followed revelation by Oklahoma County Sher-
iff Newt Burns that his attempts to sell more than 11.000 pints of
liquor In wet states had met with failure.
Only three of eight atate liquor control agencies written to
answered his Inquiries, Burns reported. They are Arkansas, Kan-
sas and Texas, and their own liquor control laws prohibit them
from buying liquor from an Oklahoma sheriff.
Ozmun pointed out all Oklahoma could do is make it legal for
ite sheriffs to sell contraband liquor—it cannot make it legal tor
other states to buy it.
**We didn’t anticipate this st the time we passed the bill tn
the 1949 session of the legislsture,’* Ozmun said. He and Rep.
James G. Davidson, Tulsa, are
co-authors of the measure.
Nothing but legs! grief ha* followed
pauags of the law. It took montha of
conference* between Mac Q William-
non. attorney general, and federal of-
ficials before Williamson wrote an
opinion telling aheriffa how they
oould sell contraband liquor and not
violate a federal law.
Only Daatructlan Lett
The question of violation of the
liquor lawa of other states wu an
open matter. That Is what Burns ran
into when he wrote control boards of
Colorado. New Mexico, Tbxu. Arkan-
sas. Kansu, Missouri. Iowa and QU-
noia.                                      „

WOODWARD, June 11-
(Special)—The poorest wheat
crop since 1937 is being har-
vested in Woodward county
and the surrounding area, with
cutting about half completed,
J. D Edmonson^ county agent,
said here Wednesday.
Its been a combination of first
greenbugs, then drouth, then hall a
wrek ago to finish off th* remain-
ing field*. Many a tanner to find-
ing only two to thre* biishel* of
wheat to the acre tn hl* fields—
hardly enough to replace seed.
Edmonson estimated that even
with a few good vields th* county
"will do welt to average five to alx
bushel* on th* wheat that* being
rut." That comparea with about 10
to 11 bushel* normal. Including
abandoned acreage About a third
of th* crop was plowed up to b*
planted to other crop* before har-
vest started.
