Parents Lose
All of Quints
SAN ANTONIO (III — The last of the quintuplets born
yesterday in San Antonio Texas died early today The
parents — 1st Lieutenant and Mrs Charles Hannan —
were reported in a state of near-shock as one after anoth-
er of the tiny infants succumbed during the night
It has been disclosed that Mrs
Charles Hannan knew what was
going on while she was giving ounly Agent
birth to quintuplets Lieutenant-
Colonel Charles Gibbs — obstetric
Ian and gynecologist at Lack land ells' of Tr'
Air Force base in Texas — said
ip
of the 27-year-old mother:
"She knew what was going on
As each baby was born she was
told the sex and heard it cry It
was a weak cry The babies were
small enough to fit in the palm of
your hand"
Gibbs said Mrs Hannan knew
in advance that the infants prob-
ably would die He said Mrs Han-
nan was given an anesthetic which
did not put her to sleep
Gibbs described Mrs Hannan as
emotionally upset but in good
physical condition
Gibbs said he found out Satur-
day that quintuplets would be
born Be said he tried to read
all he could on the subject
He added:
"There's not much to read I
hope that medical science will
benefit from our experience I've
got a lot of notes I want to dictate
as soon as I can"
One of the three Air Force doc-
tors who worked desperately to
keep the babies alive Lieutenant-
Colonel Thomas Holcomb said to-
day: "All the time I worked I knew
that we really could not save
them"
Holcomb added:
"We realized that if the babies
were born this week their chances
were extremely bleak But we do
not think that the things we did
were to no avail We were work-
ing against tremendous odds We
felt that if we had to do it over
again we could do it no other way
We had no sense of failure"

County Agent
Tells of Trip
Okemah Kiwaniang and their
guests were taken on a European
junket via a talk presented by
Dale Earnest Okmulgee county
agent at Strain's cafe Tuesday
night
Earnest showed colored slides
and discussed England's cattle
breeding at some length In Jan-1
nuary of this year Earnest ac-
companied Dr Fred Watson Ok-
mulgee county rancher to Eng-
land where the latter purchased
a $15000 Hereford bull
Herefords Well Culled
Speaking of the Hereford Eng-
land area Earnest said "It's com-
mon for bulls to weigh a ton and
cows to weigh from 1200 to 1400
pounds They watch their herds
closely and do a lot of culling"
Commenting on the small land
area and the need to utilize it all
Earnest remarked "The pastures
have tremendous carrying capac-
ity" At the time he was there a
winter grass similar to Kentucky
fescue was being used "They use
the ground 12 months a year for
some kind of crop" he observed
Farm labor is plentiful in Eng-
land he said On some farms they
will have one man to take care of
five to seven cattle and in some
cases fewer
Earnest Praises English
The county agent had high
praise for the English breeding
system and remarked that he saw
the finest animals of Hereford An-
gus and Holstein breeds in Eng-
land that he had ever seen
On the other hand Earnest was
critical of the English and t h e
French for not being harder work-
ing peoples The short English
working day with long breaks for
teas was mentioned as an ex-
ample He also cited his concern over
the apparent lack of interest in
their government by the French
people
Dutch Like Us Earnest Says
Also on the intinerary for the
Oklahomans was Switzerland and
Holland In Holland Earnest found
people whom he considered more
like those in the United States
"The' would put in a full day's
work" he remarked
"My visit to Europe made me
appreciate even more all the liber-
ties and benefits we have here in
this country" the speaker conclud-
ed More than 50 persons were on
hand to hear the interesting talk
and to see the fine cattle shown
on the colored slides George
Shultz was program chairman
Explosion Sets
Gas Tank Afire
BUTLER Okla 14 — An ex-
plosion set off a fire which burned
5000 gallons of gasoline in a stor-
age tank at Butler in Custer coun-
ty last night
The explosion and fire occurred
at the Butler plant of the Keener
Oil company Plant Supt L E
McKowan said the cause of the
blast has not been determined
Two workmen were knocked to
the ground but were not hurt Five
other gasoline storage tanks were
not damaged The Clinton fire de-
partment extinguished the blaze
about an hour after the explosion
which occurred about midnight

'Talk May Help
Summit Date
PARIS 01 The French
newspaper France-Soir nays
in a special edition in Paris
there are reports French
President de Gaulle and So-
viet Premier Khrushchev will
meet soon This could help
untangle the snarl among
the allies on the timing of a
summit meeting The paper
says the De Gaulle-Khrushchey
meeting might be in the
next eight days —possibly
in France
In Washington President Eisen-
hower met for 40 minutes today
with Secretary Herter They are
believed to have discussed
France's insistence that there be
a go-slow attitude about a summit
meeting The French want to put
it off until spring Eisenhower and
the other allies appear to favor a
summit meeting with Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushcbev as early as De
cember
Herter later declined to say any-
thing about the talk He told news-
men "anything that is to be said
about what we talked about will
come from the President" He said
he didn't know whether the Presi-
dent planned to make any an-
nouncement from his vac ation
headquarters at Augusta -
neadquarters at Augusta -
The President is understood to
have proposed a meeting of Wes-
tern leaders early next month in
Paris — as a preliminary to a pos-
sible summit session with Khrush-
chey perhaps in the first 10 days
of December The British a n d
West Germans are said to be
ready to go along with this --
but France has put on the brakes
An announcement from Paris
today said the French govern-
ment agrees in principle to a sum-
mit meeting but wants it held
next spring The French say they
first want to see some effective
relaxation of world tensions before
any meeting is held with Khrush-
chey Wholesale Firm
Upsets Liquor
Prices Again
OKLAHOMA CITY — An Ok-
lahoma City firm again toda y
dropped its liquor prices under its
competitors in the state
Liquor Director Roy Parham
opened new wholesale price lists
filed by liquor dealers and found
that wines and Spirits of °Idaho-
ma company listed prices ranging
from 93 to 95 a case below post-
ings of other liquor wholesalers
The new prices go into effect
November 1 and cortinue for 90
days
Wholesalers now have five days
to adjust their prices downward
to meet competition — and the
Wines and Spirits company post-
ing is expected to bring some ad-
justments Just before legal liquor sales be-
gan in Oklahoma September 1 the
company posted a price list con-
siderably below its competitors
This brought a flurry of price ad-
justments and touched off a suit
now pending before the state su-
preme court
Other wholesalers asked the
court to force the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control board to allow fair
trade agreements between distil-
lers and wholesalers which could
have the effect of stopping any
price cutting
The Wines and Spirits firm is
owned by a group of welalthy Ok-
lahoma City men
