Wet concrete thick enough to hold a big airliner coming in for a landing, was going

worn concrete was chipped away and is being replaced under the city’s $169,974 con-
tract for the runway work. Federal funds will pay half the cost. Repairs to the
runways was a top priority listed in the Rentzel-Borum plan for airport develop-
ment submitted to city councilmen last June.

Mixed Blends
in some puzzles wherein sim-
ple algebra may be used for
solution, it will be found that
trial may be the faster method.
Then there may be some which
are equally solvable by either
method. However, when you
have a puzzle which is more
readily solved by simple alge-
bra, you then may have what
we call a “tuffy” if you use
trial. Here is one of this type.
If you use trial, keep plugging.
A coffee merchant had 2 dif-
ferent blends of better coffee
priced at 90c and 85c per pound,
respectively. He had another
blend of cheaper coffee which
sold at 50c per pound. He wished
to mix 30 pounds of this cheap-
er blend with some of each of
the two expensive blends such

Congress Year
Seen by Kerr
Sen. Kerr things Oklahoma had
a "great year" in congress this
term, but he is pressing for an-
other good year next session to get
a number of public works started.
The senator returned here from
Washington, but he plans to leave
immediately for Minnesota and a
three-week vacation.
Noting that Oklahoma received
114,645,000 for public works and
more than 530 millions in military
construction, Kerr said the state
came out of the session "the best
ever."
Project OK i Seen
When Kerr returns to Washing-
ton, he said he plans to “try aw-
fully hard” to get the budget bu-
reau to approve such projects as
Keystone, the Enid floodway, Op-
tima dam, Oologah, Eufaula, the
Oklahoma City floodway and the
Arkansas river bank stabilization
program.
He said he hopes for senate ap-
proval of the Foss and Cobb Creek
flood control projects early in Jan-
uary. These projects have pa sited
the house.
Kerr said “the two things we’ll
be working on the hardest" will be
a social security bill, the federal
road program and funds for school
construction.
Not a Candidate
As to any hopes for nomination
for president or vice-president at
next year’s Democratic convention,
Kerr said he is “not remotely in-
terested" in either.
He said his present preference
for president is Gov. Averell Har-
riman of New York. But “I want
to wait and see what they
say about the farm problem.”
Kerr will speak to an REA meet-
ing at Walters Wednesday and at
a farm home conference Thursday
at Oklahoma A4M college, Still-
water. -

McALESTER-(Staff) - Twelve
strangers, tossed together by a
whirl of the jury wheel, marched
into the district courtroom here
Wednesday, morning to begin a job
that will leave them with indelible
mutual memories.
They are the men selected for
the life-or-death responsibility of
trying Dr. Ben T. Galbraith tor
murder. Two, three, maybe five
days from now they must file into
the courtroom for the last time
snd give their verdict ss sn in-
separable team.
44 Disqualified
They passed a 10-hour test
failed, for one reason or another,
by 44 other Pittsburg countyans
questioned in the jury box Mon-
day and Tuesday. They stood up
successfully under all the legal
skill and human psychology six
lawyers could focus upon them.
This throws the jurymen sud-
denly into the white glare of pub-
licity surrounding the Galbraith
caae. It makes them part of the
black headlines they have hereto-
fore only seen as outsiders over
morning coffee or the dinner table.
Who are these men newly-spot-
lighted?Because the law has care,
fully arranged it that way, they
are ordinary citizens. Not public
officials, appointees or employes,
not people working in occupations
touching the case in any way, not
people with axes to grind. They
are just plain voters and taxpay-
ers answering the court summons
any citizen might face some day.
Hardest Job of Lives?
They didn’t ask for the jury to-
vitation, but they didn’t try to
duck the job.
All are working men, but they
may never have faced work as
tough as this. They must ait on the
hard-backed jury chairs at least
seven hours s dsy, while a torrent
of testimony, argument and in-
structions whirls around their
heads. It will be desparately hot
in the courtroom, and they must
strain to hear above the hissing
whispers of many spectators and
the drone of many fans.
When the last legal nail is driven
in the case, they will retire to a
room entirely bare except for 13
chairs, a table, a window cooler
and a little tank of ice water.
There, they will decide Dr. Gal-
braith’s future.
By that time, they will know
each other’s faces, voices and fol-
bias better than brothers. Because
they must stay together every min-
ute. eating at the same tables,
sleeping in a dormitory room at
a hotel across the street, snd
sticking side by side during brief
court recesses.

No jury member can read this

newspapers, listen to radios, watch
television or talk to a single soul
about this esse while it is in prog-
ress.
Movies, in downtown theaters
but not st drive-ins, art the sole
latitude the court deems safe for

Backgrounds Searched
During their own monopoly of
the case Monday and Tuesday,
these U men answered searching
questions about their backgrounds,
their understanding of knowledge
and their prejudices, if any.
Each of them promised he can
forget all he knows about the Gal-
braith case, except what is pre-
sented to him in court. Each is
pledged to find Galbraith innocent
unless the state can prove him
guilty "beyond a reasonable
doubt" Which also means the
state must prove Galbraith was
sane beyond a reasonable doubt
when his wife was murdered last
