After 13 years as an en-
gineer, Bruce Ball left a
$13,000 a year job last year
to become a teacher in the
Oklahoma City school sys-
tem at $5,450 a year.
Some people told him he
was nuts.
Why did he do it?
“It seems like a rather
silly answer, but I wanted
to teach,” Ball said.
After a successful year
as a mathematics teacher
at Northeast High School,
which he chose, Ball and
his wife, a veteran teacher
at Northwest Classen,
have decided to pull up
stakes and head for teach-
ing jobs in Los Angeles.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)
— The FBI issued, then
withdrew, a request that
Florida police help locate
Eric Starvo Galt, a white
man, as the investigation
of the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King jr. en-
tered its second week.
Federal agents refused
to say why they were seek-
ing Galt, whose last known
address was Birmingham,
Ala. ;
The buHetin distributed
Thursday on the statewide
police teletype network in
Florida said Galt was driv-
ing a white Mustang. Wit-
nesses in Memphis had
told investigators earlier
they saw a man in a white
Mustang drive away from
the rooming house from
which King was shot April
4.
A source in the Dade
County Public Safety De-
partment in Miami said
The amendment in es-
sence was two-pronged:

the state into debt, and the

ened to an Oklahoma
working man being forced
to cut his 1968 living back
to what he made 10 years
ago.

children in need of shoes,
he could not use the pay
raises he had received
over the years for the
pressing needs of his fam-
ily.
That is a slight exagger-
ation, but the principle is

year, If tax
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The White House said Fri-
day President Johnson will
meet Wednesday in Honolulu
with President Chung Hee
Park of South Korea.
The announcement said
Johnson would leave for Ha-
waii from his Texas ranch
where he will spend the
Easter weekend.
The meeting with Park
had been planned for last
weekend, when Johnson was
scheduled to fly to Honolulu
to meet also with his advis-
ers from Vietnam.
But that trip was canceled
after violence erupted in the
nation’s capital and other U.
S. cities following the assas-
sination of Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King jr.
Instead, Gen. William C.
Westmoreland, U. S. mili-
tary commander in Viet-
nam, and Ellsworth Bunker,
ambassador to South Viet-
nam, flew to Washington for
conferences.
The President and Mrs.
Johnson have traditionally

clude s enough school

off sanctions.

to Tuesday’s proposal has
arisen, and experience in-
dicates this is a good sign

Ball has five classes

he has two eighth grade

Unusual Outfit
Is Called Up
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
One of the most unusual out-
fits affected by Thursday's
call-up of 24,550 reservists is
the 305th Medical Detach-
ment (orthopedic), head-
quartered in Philadelphia.
The unit has only seven
members and is commanded
by a woman — Maj. Anna
Brady of Philadelphia.
The reason?
Money is only part of it.
“We’ll both be making
more in five years in Cali-
fornia than we could in 30
years here,” Mrs. Ball
said.
Teaching conditions in
Oklahoma City was the
main reason the Balls de-
cided to leave.
“We have one teacher at
Northeast,” Ball said,
“with one set of books for
three classes. You don’t
make many homework as-
signments on this basis.”
“If we’re short on text-
books, they say it isn't our
year for new ones,” Mrs.
Ball said.
Ball said math books are
supposed to last five
