FIVE MINUTES FROM

NOTE: The following article
is fictional But it is fiction
which amidst the rising cla-
mor for 'unilateral disarma-
ment by the USA thrusts
itself into the consciousness
of this observer
— GSB
There is a fixed smile on
the face of the Zovet Ambas-
sador as he is ushered into
the President’s office and the
door closes behind him He
shakes his head as the Presi-
dent standing courteously be-
hind his desk motions him to
be seated
“Mr President” says the
Ambassador “I have a very
pleasant task My Govern-
ment has asked me to come
here and suggest to you that
you pick up your Kremlink
telephone Someone in Mozgo
wishes to speak to you”
“Now?" the Presdent asks
“Now” says the Ambassador
The Presdent swings around
rolling with his chair to the
small cabinet behind his desk

das of Zovet submarines in
the waters off your east and
west coasts all ready to be
instantly launched there are
10 times enough to wipe out
your 200 million people If
you could signal your intelli-
gence planes they could in
five minutes find exposed on
railway car launchers strung
out on the Northern coast of
Cuba from Matanzas to Ha-
vana the H-bomb missiles
that we did NOT withdraw in
1962 plus more than 100 ad-
ditional ones In the coastal
hills of Eastern Mexico your
spotting planes could find
now exposed additional bat-
teries of H-bomb missiles
capable by themselves of the
total destruction of your
American cities
Ringed With H-Bombs
“Our Submarine fleets are
submerged along your coasts
in the Atlantic and Pacific
Just two of our nuclear sub-
marines in the Atlantic can
in five minutes totally des-
troy Washington New York
and Philadelphia In the skies
orbiting 100 miles in space
above you we have four
launching platforms contain-
ing batteries of multiple-
headed missiles that cannot
be reached with any U S
preventive One of these plat-
forms will be over the center
of the U S in exactly five
minutes It carries 100 H-
bombs “Every American missile
emplacement every bomber
field every military installa-
tion and unit in the U S is
known to us is targeted in
for our first strike All can
be destroyed or made abso-
lutely useless in five minutes
“In addition Mr President
in our homeland we have
perfected and expanded our
defensive missile system
which we began to deploy in
1963 (you call it “ABM”) Ex-
tensive testing and moderni-
zation of our widespread ABM
defenses assures us that
damage from your submarine
missiles from missiles laun-
ched from your bomber amd
overseas bases would be of a
measure acceptable to us —
if indeed you sought to and
could retaliate from these
quarters
Wholesale Destruction
“In addition Mr President
we have explosive charges
set and ready to ignite in all
major U S industries We
have similar preparations at
the sources of your transpor-
tation facilities the power and
water supply in your 35 ma-
jor cities Our revolutionary
forces within your country
led by our comrades the
Black Vanguard and the Stu-
dents for Violent Overthrow

people while I have been
speaking to you have captur-
ed the White House televi-
sion cameras and radio mi-
crophones shortly will be
brought into your office so
that you can report the situa-
tion to the American people
“In short Mr President we
are as you might say looking
down your throat with a gun
And now our position for
world peace:
“We request unconditional
surrender of the United
States to the Zovet Unless
you comply at once we shall
systematically destroy your

In regard to the ad that
appeared in last week’s pa-
per about the town dying
I was so sure it was but now
I seem to detect some spark
of life as shown on the west
end of our main street
It would seem to me we
have a sufficient number of
people who are capable of
improving the town but there
is so much disagreement
among them in respect to
‘how’ to accomplish any-
thing no results are realized
from any given project
What’s the matter? Afraid
someone else might make a
buck or afraid you might
have to exert a little energy?
I hear lots of talk but see
little action We have two
nice lakes but not the first
sign of recreation facilities
for our family outings And
the roads and approaches are
ridiculous!

tion of the Ir strip is one of

Bartlett Can Win
Again As Governor
By OTIS
President Nixon’s popularity
come next general election day
Nov 8 1970 will have about as
much to do with Gov Dewey P
Bartle' ’s chance of re-election
as the performance of the gov-
ernor In state affairs
The mood of the people and
the feeling toward Republican
leadership In Washington will
greatly Influence voting In Ok-
lahoma If the majority of Ok-
lahoma voters like Nixon and
think he Is doing about the best
he can In handling difficult na-
tional problems It will mean
votes for Bartlett If voter go
sour on the president It will
hurt the Republican governor
severely and help the Demo-
crats In Oklahoma
Indications are the conserva-
tive trend will continue In the
state but public favor Is
fickle One has to recall the
popularity of President Johnson
over Ben Barry Goldwater In
1964 and the turn against John-
son and the “mess” In Wash-
ington tn 1966 that had much
to do with victory for Bartlett
for governor And It continued
with the Republican victories
and Democratic loss for presi-
dent and U ' 8 senator In the
state last year
The assumption Is Bartlett
who Is the first governor eli-
gible to succeed himself lor an
Immediate term will seek re-
election He hasn't said whajt he
will do and It would be unwise
to reveal his plana this far In
advance as Issues are to be
fought out and jockeyed about
tn the legislative session next
year If Rartlett doesn't run G
T Blankenship attorney gen-
eral would become a logical
candidate for the office
There are many imponder-
ables in attempting to gauge
the oppoitunlty for Bartlett to
be the first Oklahoma governor
to succeed himself or the first
governor to win a second term
at all
The governor's no-tax-ln-crease
has been In line with the
conservative trend although
pressure is mounting for pro-
gressive leadership to deal with
problems of higher iducatlon
common schools and uther ser-
vices of government It has been

more ot a status quo adminis-
tration depending jpon tax
growth Increase Bartlett Is not
a controversial governor and
the reaction of the public away '
from political action Is more
negative The governor la not
assailed with bitterness Neither
does he draw spontaneous
praise
The Industrial development
program Is approved although
the Demociats grumbk about
the governor claiming more
credit than he Is due
An Incumbent governor run-
ning for re-election will be well
financed He Is generally ap-
proved by the so-called estab-
lishment and the power struc-
ture In the state It ’111 make
Bartlett hard to beat If the
Republicans are In lavor na-
tion ’lv and the big Oklahoma
and Tulsa county votes stay
with him with big matoritles
Democrats fear the Oklahoma
City and Tulsa metropolitan
press will join again in tub
thumping for Bartlett
The governor was creating
disfavor In Oklahoma City for
a time for alleged Ih ors to
Tulsa but that seems to have
healed with powerful Influences
in the governor’s effort to build
the Oklahoma City toll road
Of course the greatest factor
In determining the governor's
re-election wtll be the Demo-
cratic nomtnee' If Democrats
pick a popular candidate the
party can unite In aupport It
wtll give the majority party a
great uplift
Bartlett also needs someone
to run against as he lid tn 1066
when he turned to his advant-
age opposition against Preston
J Moore the Democratic nomi-
nee Bartlett can get the Republi-
can nomination to sucied him-
self without difficulty That
Is conceded by his opponents

EDITOR’S NOT' — The
author has been a oolitical
writer and close observer
of Oklahoma polities and
government for 42 rears
This to one of a serie- of
articles analysing current
Oklahoma politics and
issues
Garber and Gragg ot wrong-
doing Nevertheless the high-
way commission recently can-
celled more than 11 million In
consulting engineering con-
tracts The governor was moving te
keep his admlnlstrr in cieai of
scandal but Garber and Oragg
deeply resent the manner In
which they were fired Reper-
cussions will be felt within the
Republican party
Democrats maintain the halo
of Republican honesty In state
affairs has been knocked as-
kew and that Nixon rund rais-
ing demonstrated the GOP acts
just like the Democrats did
when tn power Democrats
claim the governor had u know
about the fund raising but
public reaction hasn't been
enough to challenge the Integ-
rity of the governor and his
administration
It will be an hlstorioal first
In state politics for Bartlett to
be the first Oklahoma gover-
nor to seek re-election and auc-
ceed himself for an Immediate
term He Is the first governor
eligible under the constitutional
amendment voted In 966
Bartlett will be going Into the
race ' with all the powei and
prestige ot an tneumbent well
financed and with most of the
wealthy and powerful forces be-
hind him It will be a great
contrast from his start tn 1966
when most observers expected
the Democrats to regain power
Bartlett won the OOP nomi-
nation and was elected In a lata
surge ot votes against the John-
son administration and Demo-
cratic Nominee Preston J
Moore
He will not have the politi-
cal handicaps this time that
were cited then Including hla
being a former Ohioan a Re-
publican Ti''s oil man a grad-
uate of Princeton nlveralty
and a Roman Catholio
He will be the tested gover-
nor seeking to continue plaotd
administration advocating re-
forms but having failed try-
ing to lead in solving some of
the basic problem of etato
government
