Oklahoma remained in winter's icy grip Saturday as
temperatures plunged to zero in the Panhandle and the
fifth automobile fatality in 24 hours was attributed to ice-
covered highways.
The wintry blast was to continue over the weekend, with
more freezing drizzle causing hazardous driving. There
may be a slight warm-up in some sections Sunday, but
temperatures will remain frigid in most areas.
Mrs. Ulanee King, 33, Fort Smith, Ark., died at 2:30

Although Powers was not sub-

spent Wednesday and Thursday
waiting outside the witness room

"We’ll be in session at 9:90

ney declared. “If Powers will be
there at that time, he’ll be the
first witness. And if Berry wants
to appear, too, he’ll be next.
Ne Witnesses Called
“If they don't voluntarily ap-
pear, they're indulging in Joe Mc-
Carthy assassination in the press.”
No new witnesses have been
called in the gravel probe so that
the decks are clear for testimony
by Powers and Berry Tuesday
if they appear.
Otherwise, It is expected the ju-
rors will deliberate on possible
indictments. Ward indicated it will
take a full day for the grand jury
to write its report
This means any indictments or
reports coming out of the grand
jury probably will not be issued

ADA — An irate county attorney
called on a state highway depart-
ment official Saturday to “put up
or shut up" on accusations against
state Sen. Glen C. Collins.
County Attorney Barney Ward
challenged Leroy Powers, chief
highway department legal aide, to
appear at 9:90 a.m. Tuesday and
tell the Pontotoc county grand
jury about the senator’s alleged
ownership of mowing equipment
used in state right-of-way work
last summer.
The grand jury has been investi-
gating a $61,880 road gravel job
performed by contractor Orval
Spann.
Officials Criticised
Powers and other highway de-
partment officials told newsmen
last Wednesday that Collins, who
petitioned for the grand jury, was
the actual owner of mowing equip-
ment in Seminole county work.
They showed documents indicat-
ing the ownership.
Ward criticized Powers; F. M.

missioner from Shawnee; and J. L.
J. WILEY RICHARDSON Is a
man who takes his civic re-
sponsibility seriously.
His latest venture is selling
city contributors more hospital
beds—from a hospital bed.
Richardson has accepted co-
chairmanship of the special gift
division of the St. Anthony hos-
pital expansion fund.
BUT MOST of his solicitation
will be done from a St. Anthony
hospital bed while he is roped
up in traction with a broken
thigh.
The local florist knows first-
hand the need for hospital beds
in the community. He broke a
knee last summer, then a hand.
His present plight will keep him
hospitalized another 10 weeks.
Since he already has served
two weeks of his "incarceration”

sembly, UN delegates saw new
hope in Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold's announcement on
Egypt's stand regarding the Gaza
strip.
He said the Egyptian govern-
ment would let the UN emergency
force take up positions in the
disputed strip. He also said Egypt
