Testifies Cash
Given to Head
of Vice Squad
Up to $1000 a
Month Claimed
By LESLIE C ROGERS
TULSA (UP)— A Tulsa profes
aional bondsman who is a prin
cipal government witness in the
federal liquor conspiracy trial
testified today he made collections
from local bootleggers totalling
Sono to $1000 a month for nearly
a two-year period and turned the
money over to head of the city
police vice squad
E C Red Carter who said he
had been in the bonding business
since about 1950 said he began
picking up payments from the
liquor dealers the latter part of
1950 and continued until about Jan-
uary of 1952
Paid Lieutenant
Carter said the money always
In cash was paid Arthur Graves
who was vice squad lieutenant
from 1950 to 1952 The bondsman
who operates principally in munic-
ipal court swore the payments
were made to Graves at police
headquarters
Ile said the payments came
principally from Cecil Moore a
long-time bootlegger
The bondsman's testimony came
in the third day of the sensational
trial as the government sought to
trace further activities of the 20
defendants involved in the alleged
nine year plot to import liquor into
dry Oklahoma through a po-
lice payoff system and to carry
on a wholesale and retail liquor
business without paying federal
taxes
Carter and Graves were not
Indicted but they both testified
before the grand jury which in
dieted the 20 defendants Graves
no longer is on the police force
' Those standing trial include Bul-
loch the police commissioner the
suspended police chief six sus-
pended police officers seven boot-
leggers and a Joplin Mo liquor
dealer
Mrs Cleo Epps who is known
in this area as "Queen of the
Bootleggers" took the stand for
the second time today and testi-
fied Tulsa Tribune reporter Nolen
Bulloch promised not to run any
articles in return for money paid 1
gambling and liquor dealers who
operated in adjoining Creek coun-
ty Two bootleggers said in closing
testimony Wednesday that report-
er Bulloch had indicated to them
he had influence at city hall How-

Second Straight for Raney Team
MHS Retains Driving Title
LAST Friday when a seven-
inch snowfall covered
11iami six boys and girls from
Miami high school shrugged off
the chill and went to work in
the spacious Exposition building
at the Fairgrounds Critically
yet patiently surveying their
every move was a lean grizzled
figure they affectionately called
"Grandpa"
Yesterday "Grandpa" and his
young charges returned to 11iami
the school's second straight
state driver training champion-
ship And the grin which spread
over W R Raney's Semi-Centennial
whiskers proved that
Friday's snow - bound workout
was plenty worth the incon-
venience and discomfort
Raney's team of Larry Cottam
Mary Shouse and Steve Caldwell
amassed 1176 points in Okla-
homa City to edge O C Classen
for the state championship The
win gave Miami two of the
three titles necessary to main-
tain permanent possession of
the huge trophy
Classen scored 1165 points
Guymon with 1123 placed third
Arnett Ardmore and Welston
followed in that order
The maximum point possibility
was 1206
Miami didn't win top individual
honors as it did a year ago when
Allen Barnes paced the cham-
pionship threesome but young
Cottam came close yesterday
He compiled 395 points of a pos-
sible 402 yet was barely edged
by Al Wynn of Classen with 396
Miss Shouse placed third with
393 points Caldwell's score was
383
Parents of the winning drivers
are Mr and Mrs Paul Cottam

Mrs Corbin Shouse 2100 Rock-

Bomber Output Rate
Not To Be Changed
WASHINGTON (UP) — The Air
Force announced today that it will
' hold B-52 heavy bomber produc-
tion at the present rate of 15 a
month instead of expanding to the
20-a-month goal given Congress
last year
The service said that the total
number of the intercontinental
H-bombers to be produced is not
being changed but that production
will be stretched out an extra six
months
The planned total production of
eight-jet B-52s is now 603 The
stretchout will keep production go
ing longer and thus make a
"favorable" situation for the Air
I Force and the Boeing Air Plant
1Co Seattle if it is decided later
to buy more of the aircraft

Skin Diver Tries
To Reach 3 Men
NEW ORLEANS (UP)—A skin
diver prepared to try again
today to reach six men 'en-1
tombed in cramped sleeping quar-
ters of a capsized oil drilling
barge Authorities expressed little
hope of finding the victims alive
Towering ground swells foiled
repeated attempts of diver Don
Inman to reach the submerged
deck of the floodlighted "Mister
K" with his rubber suit and aqua
lung before he abandoned the ef-
fort shortly before midnight
Three crewmen were believed
to have drowned immediately
when the barge carrying a 100-
foot drilling rig on its deck sud-
denly turned turtle during a storm
before noon Wednesday in the
mouth of the Mississippi River
Six Survive Ordeal
Six others were saved five of
them without injury One was

Inman decided "raps" that ap-
peared to come earlier from in-
side the hull "were just imagina-

Big Crowd Expected
At Easter Pageant
LAWTON Okla (UP) The
32nd annual Easter Pageant in
the Wichita mountains near here
is expected to draw 50000 or
more persons early Sunday

that will depend upon ' the
weather Last year's crowd was
estimated at over 60000
However no matter what the
weather is the pageant will be
presented Only once has the sun-
rise service been cancelled That
was because of a severe ice
storm
Theme this year is "Faith of
Our Fathers" in keeping with
Oklahoma's semi-centennial celebration
Although wet grounds forced cancellation of the an-
nual Easter egg hunt at the Fairgrounds Saturday the
sponsoring Miami Lions club is seeing to it that chil-
dren won't be too disappointed
Club members will distribute 2000 sacks of colored
candy Easter eggs to youngsters prior to a Main street
parade Saturday afternoon
The candy distribution will start at 2:15 o'clock at Second ave'
nue and South Main street and continue northward to the inter-
section of North Main street and Third avenue Bland Herndon
the clubs Easter egg committee chairman said
Children will be given an added treat when Joel McCrea vet-

Cab-Driving Mother

Segregation Ouster
WASHINGTON (UP) — A taxi
driving mother with a college de-
gree vowed today to buck ouster

fight over Virginia segregation
ne Fairfax county Va school
department ordered the two chil-
dren of Mrs Theo Defebio ex-
pelled from school because she re-
fused to sign the state's new pupil

signment board as part of its plan
to maintain racially segregated
schools The board has ruled that

to sign the application because
she "knew their purpose was to
circumvent the Supreme Court
school integration decision"
Her 9-year-old son Nicky was
expelled from elementary school
Her 14-year-old son Teddy was
scheduled to be expelled from
high school Friday
The parents of 26 Negro chil-

Eisenhower Calls for
'Sacrifice and Prayer'
WASHINGTON (UP)—President
Eisenhower has called for "un-
ceasing sacrifice and prayer" dur-
ing Holy Week
The President sent a special
Easter-tide message to his own
pastor the Rev E L R Elson
chairman of the Good Friday Ob-
servance Committee and pastor of
the National Presbyterian church
Eisenhower wrote that the
"price of peace our ultimate ob-
jective is unceasing sacrifice and
prayer"
"When our Christian citizens
think on these things they will be
sobered by a realistic appraisal
of the needs of courage and
strengthened by a new apprecia-
tion of the spiritual resources
available to us all"

Rayburn Predicts
Tax Cut in 1958
WASHINGTON (UP) --- President
Eisenhower suggested to Congress
today that his requests for appro-
priations could be cut by some
$1858000000
But he said that substantial re-
duction in his proposed $71600-
000000 spending budget for fiscal
1958 "cannot be made" unless
Congress revises or repeals cer-
tain laws obligating the govern-
ment to spend specific sums for
specific services
What the President proposes to
trim by $1658000000 is the so-
called obligational authority for
fiscal 1958 As contained in the
hudgtt he presented to Congress
in January this is estimated at
873600000000
Meanwhile Speaker Sam Ray-
burn today forecast a tax cut ef-
fective next Jan 1
Rayburn said in his opinion
Congress will approve the cut
either late this session or early
next year
Rayburn made his comment in
response to questions about Pres-
ident Eisenhower's suggestion to-
day that Congress cut his re-
quests for new appropriations
Rayburn declined immediate
comment on the President's pro-
posal which came in response to
a request passed by the House on
March 12 asking for suggestions
on where to cut the President's
record $71800000000 spending
plans for the fiscal year starting
next July 1
Rayburn noted that the House
already has cut $1141175719 off
appropriations requests it has con-
sidered so far Ile said other cuts
are still to be made
"My opinion is that we will cut
this budget enough to justify a
tax cut eitherthis year or early
next year" he said
In either case the cut would
be geared to take effect on Jan
11 Rayburn said
Outlined to Rayburn
If the President's proposals for
reducing actual appropriations are
carried out the figure for appro-
priations or objigational authority
for fiscal 1958 will be almost the
same as the estimated spending
figure
He outlined the proposal in a
letter to Rayburn
Eisenhower held out some hope
over the long run for tax cuts
