JONES — The Board of Education has ac-
cepted with regret the resignation of Bill
Stevens, principal of the Jones Middle

year, said Superintendent John Hollings-
worth.
Allen Butler, in his first year as band di-
rector with Jones, has been named as Ste-
vens' replacement. Stevens said he will en-

A written evacuation plan is pro-
vided to all tenants and yearly fire
drills are recommended by the man-
agement firm.
Liberty National Bank has a writ-
ten evacuation plan and holds fire
drills periodically for the building's
2,000 to 2,500 occupants, said secur-
ity chief Bob Dawson.
Liberty has smoke and fire detec-
tors, two stairwells and fire alarms.

United Founders Life Tower has a
fire alarm system and evacuation
map on each floor, said Jerry Beard,
building manager. A lighted panel
on the ground floor is designed to
show possible fire problems, but has
resulted in several false alarms, he
said.
One stairwell services the 20-sto-
ry structure, he said.
Beard said he knows of no plans to

“We’re in the process of putting in
a voice system on each floor hooked

will allow management to dial a
special phone code and establish
voice contact with each floor.

stringent code requirements has
two stairwells separated by a fire

public information officer.
Smoke and fire detectors are on
each floor and in air circulating

EDMOND — School superintendent
George Rowley’s contract has been renewed
for the 1981-82 school year, an Edmond
school official reported. The 1981-82 aca-
demic term will be Rowley’s ninth consecu-
tive year with the Edmond public schools.
Rowley, 53, a native of Ringwood, was
Blackwell schools’ superintendent for seven
years before taking the Edmond post.

with half of those going
into health care. Of the
latter group, most
moved into nursing
home care “because we
decided not to take
care of grandmother at

decide to put grand-
mother in a nursing
home, we are taking a
deliberate step to cut
productivity.”
— Business consult-
ing services, including
everything from ac-

as are security guards,
he said.

to the baby boom of the
1950s. With each birth,
he said, there was an
implicit promise that
the 850,000 in industri-
al machinery needed
for each new worker
would be there 20 years
later. “It wasn't.” he
said.

Lunch cost hike mulled
The Putnam City Board of Education to-
night will consider a proposed 10-cent in-
crease in the district’s reduced-cost lunch
program that is facing a cutback in federal
reimbursement funds, school Superintend-
ent Ralph Downs said.
It was previously incorrectly reported
that the board had already made a decision
on the increase. Also on the 7 p.m. agenda is
a report on the financial estimate of needs
for the district in the 1981-1982 school year.

CHOCTAW — School board president W.W.

by some school patrons, said this wek he has
not decided whether he will run again for his
Choctaw-Nicoma Park school board seat.
“If I come out, I will come out to win. I will

first degree murder, is not likely to be executed
soon, since several more appeals are possible.
In 1977, Oklahoma led the nation by passing a
death-by-injection law. Since then, Texas, Idaho
and New Mexico have followed suit, and others are
considering changing death penalty laws to call
for drug executions. Of the 691 persons now on
death row nationwide, 166 are in the four death-
by-injection states.
Proponents have argued that it is a quick, pain-
less and humane method of execution, is cheaper
than other methods and less distasteful to watch.
The inmates contend this hasn’t been proven.
They argue drug injection “is a delicate and
skilled operation which requires professional ex-
pertise," but will be performed by unskilled per-
sonnel, because doctors and other medical person-
nel are forbidden by ethical codes from using
their expertise to cause death.

was sentenced to 18 years in prison
today for selling intelligence se-
crels to the Soviets for 892,600.

tion you did harm to this country,"
said U.S. District Judge Frank Kauf-
ma.
1 Kaufman said the sentence was
intended to deter others from sell-
ing intelligence secrets. The maxi-
■mum sentence for espionage is life
in prison.
1 Barnett pleaded guilty last Oct.
29.to a single count of transmitting
linformation to a foreign power. The
plea came as part of a bargain with
the federal government.
■The government had agreed not to
make any recommendation for sen-
tene but made a statement detail-
ing Barnett’s crime.
"Mr. Barnett did not withhold the
lion's share of the information he
had about the American intelli-
gence community," said Assistant
U.S: Attorney David D. Queen.
. "The most damaging information
in the hands of Mr. Barnett, in the
pplnion of CIA analysts, was trans-
mitted to the KGB," Queen added in
the statement at Barnett's sentenc-
ing.

ber in U.S. District Court here. Bar-
nett, a 47-year-old father of three
from Bethesda, Md., who runs an im-
port-export business, was described
as a debt-ridden former CIA agent
whose actions had sparked a KGB
operation spanning three con-
tinents.
