Joe Young's
Condition
Is Critical
Joe Young, 48, Red Rock, was listed in critical condition at
the Edmond hospital Friday where he is a patient for treatment
of multiple injuries received at 6:20 p.m. Thursday in a one-car
traffic accident while the highway patrol was in pursuit three
miles north of Bill’s Corner and two west on a county road.
Young, a passenger in the car, was taken to Perry Memorial
hospital and transferred to Oklahoma Medical center in Okla-
homa City. He was transferred later in the night to the hospital
at Edmond. He received several broken ribs, a possible
punctured lung, head and leg injuries. Young is the father of the
driver of the accident vehicle.
Four others in the same car were hurt as the vehicle went
out of control and flipped and rolled about. The car also caught
fire, but fire damage was not extensive.
An accident report filed by Trooper Randy Clark of Perry
identified the driver of the car, a 1972 Chevrolet, as Joe T.
Young, 18, Red Rock. He was treated at Perry Memorial
hospital and dismissed. Young was jailed after hospital treat-
ment. He was released Friday on personal recognizance bond
with instructions to report back at 9 a.m. Monday to face
possible district court charges.
Also injured was another passenger, Oscar Ely, 52, Red
Rock, who was treated at Memorial hospital and transferred
Thursday night by fire department ambulance to St. Mary’s
hospital at Enid. He was listed in serious condition with head,
arm, leg and other injuries.
Jon Young, 16, Red Rock, brother of the driver, also a
passenger, was treated at Perry Memorial and dismissed
Thursday evening. The fifth person in the car was Winifred
Fulgum, 23, Morrison, who was treated for a leg injury and
dismissed.
The accident report filed by Trooper Clark said Joe T.
Young was driving north on highway US177 and was met by
Trooper Clark. Trooper Clark suspected a traffic violation and
turned around to follow the car. He reported the car did not stop
when signaled and fled a short distance to the south and then
west on the county road.
The automobile carrying the county men went out of control
and went into the north ditch, at a speed estimated by Clark to
be between 70 and 75 miles per hour. The car moved back across
the road to the south side, back into the road and collided with an
embankment. The car then was airborne for 60 feet, landed on
its front end, bounced again for 25 feet through the air.
The car came down on its right side, skidded another 40 feet
and went airborne another 25 feet. A bumper dug into the ground
with the car coming to rest on its wheels, the accident report
said.
Witness
Says He Saw
Gun Fired
Billy Brown, Wichita, testi-
fied in Noble county district
court Friday he saw Richard
Lawrence Hager fire a gun at
Anthony Dean Corley, 19, sev-
eral times in Kay county in 1976,
during testimony from the wit-
ness stand in Hager’s jury trial
before nine women and three
men.
Hager is charged with mur-
der in the first degree in Cor-
ley’s death that occurred on or
about Sept. 5, 1976.
Brown gave testimony that
he, Hager and Corley had been
in Perry at the I-35 Inn before
Corley’s death. Brown testified
the three men left the motel and
traveled north in a pickup
belonging to Corley. The three
made a stop at the Billings
Truck Stop and bought gasoline
and two cans of beer, Brown
testified.
He told the court they travel-
ed north to the Tonkawa-La-
mont exit on 1-35 highway.
Brown testified they traveled
west, crossed a creek and then
traveled south on a county road
to a clearing.
Brown then described some
details of actions at the clearing
where he said Hager fired the
gun. Following Brown’s testi-
mony, the defense requested a
recess that was granted by Dis-
trict Judge Lowell Doggett.
Preceding Brown’s testi-
mony, Dr. Stephen Parks of
Missouri, testified on the condi-
tion of the body when it was
found. He acted as medical
examiner in the case in 1976.
A total of 15 persons were on
the witness stand Thursday.
Stillwater Mayor,
3 Others Named
By Grand Jury
STILLWATER, Okla. (PI)
— A Payne County grand jury
that investigated allegations of
misconduct and misuse of
public funds has recommended
the removal of Stillwater
Mayor Bill Thomas and three
city commissioners.
A hearing on the ouster
recommendation for Thomas
and Commissioners Joe Alexan-
der, Christine Salmon and
Walter Starks was tentatively
set for Jan. 30.
The grand jury, which ended
its 25-day investigation Thurs-
day without issuing any indict-
ments, cited the officials for
appropriating $5,000 in public
funds to the Stillwater Chamber
of Commerce.
Thomas Alexander and
Salmon also were cited for
using public funds to pay for
food and liquor at a commis-
sion meeting in Oklahoma City
and for holding the meeting at
a location that made access
difficult for the public.
Grand jurors also recom-
mended the city appropriate
more funds for police undercov-
er drug operations and urged
the commission to close local
drug paraphernalia stores.

present his economic package
to Congress in mid-February,
missing his original deadline,
but said that is because the
joint leadership asked to be
consulted.
“We think it’s important to
be in on the takeoff, not just
the landing,” Baker said.
The breakfast meeting was
the first in a planned series.
Baker said he was pleased with
its “tone and nature,” calling it
“a significant development” in
cementing a close relationship
between Reagan and Congress.
Baker said Reagan plans to
meet periodically with the
bipartisan leadership as well.
Also on Reagan’s schedule
today was his second meeting
of the week with his Cabinet
and lunch with Federal Reserve
Board Chairman Paul Volcker
to discuss high interest rates.
Reagan plans to go on
nationwide television to discuss
his economic recovery package.
Rep. Jim Jones, D-Okla., who
met briefly with Reagan in the
Oval Office Thursday, told
reporters, “The indication I
received was that a lot of
decisions had to be made yet.”
Jones said he understood the
package would be ready “by
middle to late February.”
Reagan aides had said the
president’s forthcoming 10 per-
cent tax cut and proposals for
deep across-the-board reduc-
tions in federal spending would
go to Capitol Hill early next
month.
Most decisions still are “up in
the air,” Jones said, including
an effective date for the tax
cut. Reagan first proposed a
Jan. 1 effective date, but some
of his advisers are recommend-
ing July 1 instead.
Jones said Reagan plans a
major television address to the
nation to explain the serious-
ness of the economic problem
and its solutions. Reagan told
the congressman he did not
want to offer a “piecemeal”
package, but one that combines
tax and spending cuts.
