Oklahomans celebrate
release of 52 hostages
By The Associated Press
Yellow ribbons, pealing bells, sirens
and expressions of relief — to
Oklahomans it meant—after 444 anxious
days — the hostages were coming home.
Said the grandmother of hostage Joe
Hall, “We’ve been waiting for this
moment for more than a year.”
Inez Hall said in Mangum her daily
prayers sustained her faith that her
grandson would return home. "I've been
through a lot of disappointment in my
life, and at my age I’ve learned not to
expect too much. I think the waiting is
harder on the young people than
somebody who’s been around as long as I
have.”
Hall, 31, is a native Oklahoman whose
parents live in Little Falls, Minn.
“When this first happened, I didn’t
think it would last very long, but I guess
that just goes to show that we didn’t
understand very well what was hap-
pening over there,” she said.
“I kind of think the remark Reagan
made recently might have brought this to
a head when he called them (the
Iranians) barbarians. I think it may have
made them anxious to get this done
before he took office and they just barely
did,” she said.
Hall's aunt, Joy Hall Rinker of Moore,
said she hopes to go to Washington to
greet Hall, but doesn’t know if that will
be possible.
“Financially, we don’t know what we
can do. The airlines are sponsoring the
first six of each immediate family, but
we’ll probably see him later on when he
gets to his daddy's,” the Zane and
Dorothy Hall residence in Little Falls,
Minn.
Returning hostage Ridr Kupke grew
up with grandparents at Meers. His
grandfather, Lee Rhoades, flew to In-
diana this week to be with kupke’s
parents when word came.
Kupke’s uncle said Tuesday he was
hopeful throughout the frantic last-
minute negotiations.
Dr. Everett Rhoades, a physician at
the Veterans Administration hospital in
Oklahoma City, theorized the delay may
have been caused by Iranian desires to
upstage Reagan’s inauguration and th-
wart President Carter’s desire to gain
the hostages’ release while still
Pawhuska profile
to be televised
A project to present a picture of the
City of Pawhuska to local television
viewers has been completed under the
direction of Marion Campbell, local
CPA and Chamber of Commerce
president during 1980.
A panel composed of Marvinette
Sowell, artist and art teacher; Bob
Bennett, retired Southwestern Bell
Telephone Co. employee; Jerry
Loftis, a businessman who is a council
member; and C.G. Arnold,
superintendent of schools, ac-
companied by Campbell went to Tulsa
on Jan. 16 to tape a presentation to be
aired at 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 4, on the
president.
“With something this complicated
there are more chances for snags to
develop."
He expressed a few reservations about
getting ecstatic too soon.
“I feel emotionally moved but
disturbed," he said. “You kind of want to
cry — I feel overwhelming anxiety to see
Rick and how he feels.”
Militants who stormed the embassy,
singled Daugherty out early in the:
hostage crisis as an agent of the Central'
Intelligence Agency. State Department
officials would not comment on the
allegation.
Ramona Huffman program presented
on KOTV, channel 6.
Mrs. Sowell gave the information on
art and artists in Pawhuska; Bennett
spoke on tourism and recreation;
Loftis on the community of
Pawhuska, and Arnold on the
Pawhuska school system.
The Chamber of Commerce is
hoping that this will be an effective
means of promoting Pawhuska and
may plan other similar programs in
the future. Comments from the public
viewing the program will be
welcomed and are earnestly solicited,
chamber officials said.
Pawhuska Junior High School
announces semester honor rol
Progress
George Tew came to Pawhuska about seven years ago and
started his business with one truck. Now, Tew Formation
Testing operates 14 trucks and is nearing the date for expansion
into a new 5,000-square-foot building on west Main. On the same
lot as the new office and lab building for Tew Testing is another
5,000-square-foot building which will be the shop for Tew's
recent acquisition, Tew Manufacturing and Machine. While
Goodwin Construction Co. will have the buildings basically set
up in another two weeks, Tew doesn't expect to have everything
ready for occupancy for another 60 days. (J-C Photo)

Oil companies challenge injection well controls
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Lawyers for
40 oil companies fighting millions of
dollars in government fines and penalties
have begun a federal court battle with a
lawsuit challenging U.S. Department of
Energy regulations governing injection
wells in 15 states.
About 24 lawyers jammed into the
front of U.S. District Judge Frank Theis’
courtroom on Monday to participate in
the opening day of the trial. The judge
consolidated numerous separate cases
on the same issues on May 26, 1977.
Joseph W. Kennedy, who represents
the oil companies, delivered an opening
statement claiming DOE officials ex-
ceeded their statutory authority when
they issued a rule excluding water in-
jection wells from the calculations of
stripper well production.

Pam Pendergraft will be the junior at-

Theis ruled in January 1978 that the
then-Federal Energy Administration
failed to follow the Administrative
Procedures Act when it implemented the
injection well exemption and he struck it
down.

Appeals, a panel formed in Washington,

be able to count the injection wells as
producing oil wells when calculating
