was false
"The people were sold a bill
of goods and this shows up in
the $80 million in additional
estimated revenue the state
will have next year.“
McSpadden said
The Democrat said a
McSpadden administration
would give an income tax cut
to every Oklahoman, and,
added, "we will completely
repeal the inheritance tax on
widows."
The Democrat also said a
McSpadden administration
would open medical school
doors to rural residents to al-
leviate the doctor shortage,
would curb inflation by cut-
ting needless government
spending, and would "end the
control" of special interest
groups on state government.

McSpadden ripped present
Gov David hall's program on
both education and taxation,
claiming teachers had fared
better under former Gov
Dewey Bartlett than under
Hall and that Hall's claim that
he had cut taxes for 93 per
cent of the people" is wrong
"Teachers received 31,400 in
raises under the Bartlett ad
ministration, pushed through
a Democrat legislature when I
was the leader of the Senate,
and have only received 11,100
from the present adminis-
tration with $700 of that com-
ing in an election year
"And higher education, with
1156 million in new tax dollars
during the four years of the
Hall administration has not
fared as well as under the
past administration
"I believe in everything in
education from kindergarten
through the Oklahoma Medi-
cal School," McSpadden said,
"and a McSpadden adminis-
-
tration will outstrip what is "We re financing our cam

Two new special programs, I
one for deaf students and the |
other an Indian education ]
project, will be started this -
fall by the Lawton school sys-
tem
School officials discussed
the programs at the regular
meeting of the Lawton Board
of Education, held earlier this
week
The Indian program is a
152 695 project, financed by
the federal government under
Title IV. It emphasizes coun-
seling and is designed to as-
sist an estimated 1.200 stu-
dents in Lawton schools who
have Indian blood
in a separate project, two
classes for deaf children will
be conducted at Taft School.
Sixteen to 20 students are ex-
pected to participate Two
teachers have been employed,
and the state department of
education will reimburse the
Lawton school system $20,000
for costs of the project this
year
Gene Hancock, assistant su-
perintendent of instruction,
explained the program, and
the board of education okayed
the purchase of two complete
sets of "phonic ear" equip-
ment. each having eight sta-
tions Mrs Barbara McGuffin
and Miss Johnnie Richardson
have been employed as teach-
ers for the deaf students
The Indian Education pro- 1
gram includes $31,240 for per-
sonnet, about $1,000 for sup-
plies, and $20,453 17 for paren-
tal costs. Officials said direc-
tor Delores Twohatchet and ’
five coordinators will be coun- i
selors and liaison Indian stu-
dents, parents and the school
system The idea is to encour-
age Indian students to stay in
school and participate in as
many activities as possible in
some cases, Indian parents
will be able to obtain money
from the program to buy
books or clothing for students

U ised a tax cut and in
creased funding for education
Thursday by U S Rep Clem
McSpadden, who appeared at
a rally here
McSpadden vowed to "cut
everyone's taxes, not increase
them like the present admin-
istration," and said all phases
of education would gain if he
were elected governor
McSpadden. Gov David Hall
and David Boren are com
peting for the Democrat gu-
bernatorial nomination
McSpadden commented here
at a barbecue-rally attended
by more than 1,000 persons.
The rally featured country
western entertainment pro-
vided by Ferlin Husky and
others.
Supporters said the turnout
was lessened by the conflict
ing televised resignation an
nouncement by former Presi-
dent Richard Nixon
McSpadden spoke after Nix
on issued his statement and
said the President "did what
was best for the nation
"This to a day of great sor-
row." McSpadden said, "but
it is time for us to quickly for
get that there ever was the
word Watergate
"History will have to judge
the President.” the Chelsea
Democrat said, "and it is
time for us to pull together
behind Gerald Ford and build
a better America
"Gerald Ford is a good,
stable team man who will
have a good influence on the
country and Congress, and the
nation should give him every
assistance in pulling this na
tion out of inflation."
McSpadden said
The cattleman spoke only

here that his election would
