went too far in reducing our
active duty ground forces "
Although the Army has said
it can build three additional
divisions within its current
strength of 785,000 by shifting
men from support to combat
assignments, Schlesinger in-
dicated this may not be
enough
He said Congress should

Desert the Israelis are willing
to give up in a second dis-
engagement agreement and

demand in exchange

on the flight from Washington
to Jerusalem that he had no
"formal proposal’’ from either
side but did have ideas from

An exception would tie if a

would mean plans would be
ready in mid- 76 and construc-

after, " he said
duce still further our depend-
ence on the (National) Guard

Schlesinger disclosed at the
same time that the Army’s
shortfall in tanks is even
greater than estimated ear
tier
He said a recalculation of
probable wartime loss rates,
the needs of the three new di-
vision and additions for aid to
Israel and other countries
haw boosted the Army's tank
objective from 10,000 to 13,500
This means that the Army is
short about 5,500 tanks, rather
than only 2,000.

the job was "a swindle.”
Austin said he got under-
neath his mother’s house and
could not find evidence of sub-

Local exterminating
agencies said that a leveling

and that $190 would not be a
bad price if the job was done-
Many homes in the Lawton
area often settle due to the
loose sod of the region, and

The Supreme Court is
scheduled to hear oral argu-
ments in the case later this
month
"We will ask the courts to
give us a ruling as to whether
the secretary is within his
rights” in seeking nomi
nations now, Byrne said
The governors of all four of
the mid Atlantic states
presented a joint policy state-
ment calling for "prompt ex-
ploration" of offshore areas to
find out where oil and gas
may lie
But they urged that explor-
ation be separated from actual
development to allow time for
the states to prepare for the
impact of new oil and gas in-
dustries
The governors also asked
for establishment of a large
"no-fault liability fund" to
compensate anyone whose in
terests are damaged by an oil
spill and urged legal assur-
ance of compensation to state
and local governments for the
costs incurred by on-shore de
v elopmen t
The governors' statement
was read by John C. Byrson,
Delaware’s secretary of natu
ral resources.
In other testimony, Rhode
Island Gov Philip W Noel
also urged separating explor
ation from development by
controlling the speed with
which private companies pro-
ceed in offshore drilling
Noel also asked that reve-
nues from offshore leasing
and production be shared with
the states for protection of
ocean fisheries and on-shore
resources
Rep William J Hughes, D-
N.J., proposed that the Interi-
or Department delay further
offshore leasing for two years
while doing the exploration
drilling itself, through the
U S Geological Survey
Sharply contrasting with the
other spokesmen for the
states, Gov Meldrim Thom-
son Jr of New Hampshire ex-
pressed strong support for the
Intenor Department's offshore
leasing proposals, its environ-
mental impact study, and
President Ford’s energy pol-
icies, although he opposed
Ford's new oil import fees.
Thomson said offshore ex-
ploration and development
should proceed "with all pos-
sible haste” because new do-
mestic oil will be urgently
needed as present supplies
dwindle over the next few
years

Cox said he expects the FAA

days will be required to make
sure the landing system is
working properly
Cox said the ILS came about
primarily due to the recent
runway expansion and major
airport improvements the
Lawton Airport has undergone
in the past year, which quail
fied the airport for the equip-
ment
Because of the extreme sen-
sitivity of the ILS, the radio
beams have a tendency to
shift from time to time, Cox
said An alarm built into the
system goes off when the
beams begin to shift align-

line, the system shuts itself

Cox said the airport's old

operational to use under such

I'm here to discuss such
ideas," he said
Egypt wants Israel to give
up the Mitla and Gidi passes
through which ground forces
must pass to reach the central
Sinai and the Suez Canal as
well as the Abu Rudeis oil-
fields in the southern Sinai
US officials have said Kis-
singer recognizes that Israel
in exchange must get concrete
concessions toward an end to
political, diplomatic and eco-
nomic belligerency
Kissinger goes to Cairo on
Wednesday to find out the
Egyptian demands and what
they are willing to concede,
then flies back to Israel
Thursday via Syria to see if
he can bring the opposing po-
sitions close enough together
to make further shuttle nego-
tiations worthwhile
He also will visit Jordan
and Saudi Arabia and will
meet with Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Andrei A Gromyko in
Geneva next week He plans to
return to the Middle East
about March 10 unless he con-
cludes that there is no possi-
buility for an Israeli-Egyptian
agreement
The secretary said Monday
the U.S. government is "com-
mitted to rapid progress" in
its attempt to achieve another
agreement between Israel and
Egypt, and he is prepared to
"explore other means and fo-
rums if necessary.”
This was an obvious refer-
ence to an Arab-Israeli peace
conference in Geneva.

"Lawton and Southwest Ok

avoiding the devastating eco-
nomic blows which have oc-
curred in many parts of the
country," he said
He pointed to healthy retail
sales and lower unemploy-
ment levels here
"We have been fortunate
thus far but it is imperative
that we be watchful and un
dertake those measures which
can assist a continued healthy
economy," he cautioned
He singled out
— Continued development of

efforts to attract and hold in-

"The residents deserve the
opportunities to be heard con

The mayor pointed to four
areas of progress here in the
past year, community devel-

Community Development
"Local citizens have for the
past several months been
playing a primary role in ex-
amining the needs of Lawton
neighborhoods Within a few
short weeks these residents
will be submitting to the coun-
cil recommendations for the
expenditure of community de

This program and the projects
which are recommended are
extremely important to the fu-
ture of the community
Fort Sill "At Fort Sill we
see about $21 million worth of

Ford has said in the past he
was considering releasing
some of the impounded funds
He made the comment in
meetings with governors last
week and Monday after they
urged that the impounded
funds be released
In his prepared remarks lie
fore the Kansas lawmakers
President Ford promised
farmers a special rebate plan
to soften the financial blow of
ruing fuel costs and pro-
claimed "I will not let Amen
can agriculture run out of
gas."
Ford also scheduled an eve-
ning news conference to cap a
two-day swing which began
with a series of appearances
in Houston, Tex , Monday and
Tuesday
He chose the setting in the
heart of a fertile farm region
to announce that he has in
structed Federal Energy Ad
ministrator Frank Zarb to
design for the agricultural
community the rebate pro-
gram to compensate the farm
er for increased energy costs
Among other things,
Schlesinger said "we now be-
hieve it is essential to estab
lish a special contingency
stock of about 500 tanks to
meet unanticipated emergency
requirements of friends and
allies abroad '
He said steps are being tak
en to close the tank gap by in
creasing production by rough
ly double the recent rate. to
about 103 tanks a month, as
well as modernizing obsoles-
cent tanks
On another point, he said
one consequence of the reduc-
tion in the Navy's carrier
force to the lowest level since
World War II will be a cut
back in I S carrier oper
ations in the Western Pacific
from three to two ships next
year
However, the I S Navy will
continue to deploy two car
ners in the Mediterranean, he
said
The Navy will reduce its
carrier force from 15 to 13
ships next year, but one of
those carriers will be basi
cally a training vessel and
will not tie sent overseas, he

Kissinger is "very hopeful for
chances of progress,” his
spokesman reported today as
the .American peace negotiator
held his second meeting in
less than 12 hours with Israeli
Premier Yitzhak Rabin
Rabin's press aide said hard
bargaining would not begin
until after Kissinger visits
Cairo on Wednesday
The secretary of state and
the premier met for breakfast
at Rabin's residence' and then
were to go into a full working
session with their advisers
Kissinger arrived Monday to
begin his latest Middle Est
peace shuttle and met for al
most two hours Monday night
with Rabin and an Israeli
negotiating team Spokesmen
fir both sides said there was
a "general review” of posi-
tions. An Israeli spokesman
said the purpose of the meet-
ing was to agree on an agenda
for future negotiations, and
"no specifics were dis-
cussed."

Ford said details would be
announced "within the next
few weeks" but White House
officials said Zarb has yet to
decide the precise scope of the
program
One possible method of
granting the rebate, said
Press Secretary Ron Nessen,
would h»' for farmers to save
their gasoline receipts and
hand them over to the govern
ment, receiving a rebate in re
turn of 15 cents per gallon
This is slightly more than
the amount administration of
ficials have estimated the cost
of fuel will increase if Ford's
energy program is imple
mented
The President plugged for
support for that program in
remarks prepared for the
joint legislative session
We cannot let things slide
any further he said We
have waited too long already
Unless steps are taken to-
ward energy independence, he
continued. ' the American
farmer will grow more and
more dependent on the foreign
oil cartel for the energy prod
ucts he needs to sow and reap
his crops That is a no-win
proposition "
Ford reiterated that no in
dustry or geographic area will
suffer a dispporportionate
burden under his energy pro
gram
This definitely applies to
the American farmer,” he
said As long as I am presi
deni, the American farmer
will receive the fuel he needs
to do his job I will not let
American agriculture run out
of gas.”
As he did in Houston, Ford
singled out the deregulation of
natural gas prices as a key
element of coping with the
energy crunch
Natural gas is used to pro-
duce nitrogen fertilizer, and
Ford told the legislature that
between 200,000 tons and
400,000 tons of fertilizer pro-
duction will be lost this year
because of natural gas curtail
men is
Calling himself a "tough
minded optimist" Ford said
he is confident the nation
could overcome what he now
is terming an inflationary

Councilmen. during the
short session, discussed a
southside street closing for
nearly an hour
The councilmen were to
meet this afternoon at the site
of McKinley Street, between
south Third and south Fourth
to consider closing the street
right-of-way
D & R Auto Salvage bought
property recently on both
sides of the street so it could
open an auto salvage on the
site But some of the coun-
oilmen feared closing the
street would set a precedent
of selling public land for pri-
vate gain
Area residents also voiced
opposition to the proposal,
saying it would cause flooding
in the area and reduce access
in the area south of the 271
Bypass
Charles Brown, 1711 S
Third, said McKinley Street
was needed so residents on
south Third which goes up a
hill. could reach 271 when
Third is iced over in winter
Attorney Max Cook, speak
ing for the salvage yard,
pointed out the’ street is now
only a dirt trail "and doesn't
go anywhere "
Don Whitsell of the salvage
firm said gates would be built
at each end of the right of way
to allow city access to a waler
line laid under the right-of-
way
"All we want to do is avoid
having to run our equipment
back and forth across a bare
stretch from one part of our
yard to another,” Whitsell
said
Councilwoman Norma Rob
erts made a motion seeking
approval of the closing but
several councilmen. including
Robert Prince and Willie Hop
kins opposed it
Ward Three Councilman
Dan Glascock then proposed a
3 30 p m meeting at the street
site so councilmen could view
the site. The second motion
passed on a 5-4 vote.
The council did approve
closing B Avenue between
27th and 28th Streets to allow
building of the Cameron Fine
Arts Building City Planner
Walt Belland said the closing
is in the (ameron master plan
and all land along the street
is already owned by the
school
Councilmen approved the
dosing unanimously after Dr.
Don Owen Cameron presi-
dent. spoke in favor of the
closing
Mrs Elaine (Tommie)
Bogle, a secretary in the city
printing division, received a
plaque at the meeting honor-
ing her as City Employe of
the Month The Chamber of
Commerce also gave her a
savings bond
In other action the council
approved an amendment to
the city code which will re-
quire the city engineer to in-
spect all new buildings in
flood-prone areas so the city
can remain eligible for federal
flood insurance
Approval of use-on-rev lew
zoning for funeral homes in C-
3 areas (community shopping
centers) was given by the
council Currently, funeral
homes are allowed only in C-5
zones Jimmy Huddleston of
Huddleston Funeral Home
said the C-3 zoning will im-
prove the surrounding busi-
ness climate of funeral homes
Huddleston plans to open a
