MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (AP) — Bil-

a fortune out of the unlikely combination
of extravaganza, curvaceous girls and the

Three years ago, an Oklahoma City couple adopted a
7-year-old girl through the county children’s court. They
have now returned the child because they don’t want her
anymore.
The case stunned Judge Homer Smith and other
court officials even though they’re accustomed to deal-
ing with the problems of adults and children.
It marks the first time since the court was estab-
lished that a couple has relinquished a child they adopt-
ed.

Now 10 years old, the girl has been placed in a fos-
ter home while the court tries to find new adoptive par-
ents.
It will be some time, Judge Smith said, before she
recovers — if she does — from the traumatic experience
of being given away.
When the moment came for the child to part from
her adopted parents, the judge took her to his chambers
until the parents were out of the courthouse building.

said since Chandler agreed
to give up new cases and
then was allowed by the
council to retain more than
160 pending cases, the issue
is now dead.

OB
sage of the bill Thursday
was to make clear that vet-
erans who have not graduat-
ed from high school would
be eligible for the education-
al benefits. The house ac-
cepted the change without
discussion.
Although the bill is more
costly than one backed by
Johnson he is expected to
sign it into law. The meas-
ure would provide assistance
to veterans of more than six
months military service ret-
roactive to Jan. 31, 1955
when earlier programs ex-
also would like to sidestep
the controversy, the source
said.
The source said Chandler
also is disturbed over re-
marks in congress Tuesday
by Rep. H. R. Gross (R-
lowa), who in effect came to
the judge’s defense.
Corruption Eyed
Chandler has told associ-
ates privately he does not
even know the man and
wishes Gross had not raised
the issue on the floor of the
house, the source said.

There are an estimated 250 gaming de-
vices, most of them pinball machines, located
in 144 different places across the state.
The locations are in 28 counties.
For each machine, an annual $250 federal
tax must be paid. This means that $54,000 or 1,-
080.000 nickels must ’be poured into the ma-
chines each year just to satisfy the federal
government.
Add the cost of the machines — about $1,-
000 apiece — and there is a $300,000 invest-
ment in gaming devices in the state.

state’s largest counties — Oklahoma and Co-

Attorney General Charles
R. Nesbitt announced Thurs-
day a second oil company
has agreed to settle out of
court to avoid a $30 million
lawsuit charging excessive
prices on asphalt sold to Ok-
lahoma .
He said Allied Materials
Corp., based in Oklahoma
City, has reached a settle-
ment. Its case will be strick-
en from the lawsuit, which
originally alleged 10 compa-
nies plotted to rig high
prices on road asphalt.
Nesbitt only recently depo-
sited $20,000 with the state
treasurer as first payment of
Wilshire Oil Corp., the first
company to pay off.
Amount Secret
The lawsuit was filed last
year.
"As in the case of the pre-
vious settlement, with Wil-
shire, the terms of the settle-
ment (with Allied) will call
for a substantial payment
immediately and additional
payments according to
terms of the agreement,”
Nesbitt told newsmen.
Nesbitt drew some criti-
cism when he refused to re-
veal the full settlement he
made with Wilshire, and
Thursday said he also will
keep the Allied amount con-
fidential.
Reason Given
“The only reason for
maintaining confidence on
the amount is that this
amount may not be used ad-
versely to the state either in
future (settlement) negotia-
tions or trial of the case,” he
said.
In neither case, he said,
will he reveal the amount of
the full settlement until the
litigation over asphalt pric-
ing is terminated.
"I expect to drive a hard-
er bargain with each succes-
sive company that settles,”
Nesbitt said.
"On a per-gallon basis, the
Allied settlement is more

ing flipped over on him.
The accident occurred
about 10:45 a.m. in the lot
just north of the firm’s new
plant, 600 N May.
Plant officials said Miller
had been an employe of
Coca Cola for about 30
years.
The tractor was hitched to
a dump truck by a 50-foot
chain "when it just rared up
and flipped over on him," an
employe said.
The tractor had to be
righted before the body
could be removed. Miller
was crushed under the steer-
ing wheel.
