ma. The elder Stafford, an engider
at the Occidental Petroleum Crp.,
said he was in Moscow on business
at the time of the siege and that it
took six days for the news to reach
him. * •
"I'm still walking on water,” the
senior Stafford said, quickly adding,
"but the State Department said
they'd rather we didn't talk too
much.”
The younger Stafford and his wife,
a consular assistant, trained in
Washington for six months before
taking assignments in Tehran. ■
"When he left Washington at
about this time last year, he called
me to say goodbye," his grandmoth-
er said. That was the last time she
heard from him.
A 7-page letter from Kathy Staf-
ford arrived at Mrs. Stafford's Nor-
man home the Monday after the Ira-
nians took over the embassy on Sun-
day. Nov. 4.
Although it was mailed before the
siege, the letter referred to an un-
easy situation brewing in Tehran.
The Staffords are now at an undis-
closed spot in West Germany where
American officials say they will re-
main for rest, medical examina-
tions, and debriefing before they
face reporters or return to the Unit-
ed States.
Officials said the families of the
escapees will be in touch with them

over," McGuire said.
Other Oklahoma City motorists
clogged icy thoroughfares and were
left stranded at dozens of locations
during the morning rush hour. And
some took trips they didn't expect.
A young woman walking south on
Broadway near Robert S. Kerr fell
on an icy sidewalk and slid a half
block before skidding off a curb and
into the street.
Two men who tried to catch her
during the brief trip were also
tripped up and joined the ice slide.
Assistant Police Chief Lloyd
Gramling was among the unfor-
tunate drivers today.
Gramling was attempting to drive
his city-owned car up a parking
ramp outside police headquarters
when the car slid back down the ice-
covered ramp. Gramling's car
struck another vehicle moving
northbound on North Lee. The police
it's too early to gauge the impact of
the Supreme Court decision, but he
was clearly not pleased with the rul-
ing.
"It's very disappointing to those
of us who are engaged on a day-to-
day basis in attracting industry,"
Strasbaugh said.
He said the viability of trust fi-
nancing is the state's "most import-
ant tool" to attract new industry
and expand existing firms.
“This ruling puts us at a competi-
tive disadvantage,” compared to
other states, Strasbaugh said.
Chamber attorneys met with
Strasbaugh and other business lead-
ers this morning, but “they have
given no opinion pending their own
studies of the ruling," Strasbaugh
said.

An Oklahoma City school spokes-
man said Superintendent Thomas
Payzant decided to cancel today's
classes upon recommendation of
transportation officials who
watched road conditions all night.
City buses were called back from
their routes shortly before 8 a.m.
"until the streets get better,” a
Masstrans spokesman said. "We
just weren't able to make any prog-
ress."
No one was able to estimate how
many of Oklahoma's trust finance
industries were operating under
leases similar to the ones held inval-
id Tuesday.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission
completed a survey late last year
which showed trust property not on
the tax rolls is valued at approxi-
mately $900 million.
Tax officials say that based on ex-
isting tax rates in the state an addi-
tional $10 million in ad valorem rev-
enue would be raised if all such
property was placed on the rolls.

Commercial agencies operating
what is known as floating nurse
pools began to appear about five
years ago, he said.
These agencies register nurses
who are willing to work certain days
and certain shifts of their own
choice but not work full time, he
said.
The nurses are paid by the agency
and the hospital is billed to cover
the nurse's pay and the agency's
overhead costs.
