Reaolatioa
Whereas the President of the
United States has envisioned develop-
ment of the nation’s natural resourc-
es aa a means toward ’the better life’
and
Whereas he has reiterated often
that the vast economic experiment
mow gnder way in Hhe Tennessee
Valley must be extended to all parts
of the nation and
Whereas he has asserted publicly
that he considers the Arkansaaa Ri-
ver Basin one of the moat neglected
in the nation and
Whereas flood control and power
integral units of the President’s plan
for economic recovery and
Whereas the D S Army Engineers
in their report submitted to the Pre
sident of the United States through
the Secretary of War have declared
aa economically feasible the Pensa-
cola and Markham’s Ferry project!
on the Grand river and the Fairfax-
Kaw City hydro-electric project on
the Main Stem of the Arkansas the
El Reno project and that such de-
velopments are capable of self-liquidation

Disney Gets In Early
AVA Bill Introduced
Hydro-Electric Projects Are Parti-
rularly Stressed In Congressman's
Early Efforts In Congress
Establishment of an authority very
similar to the Tennessee Valley au-
thority for the development and im-
piovement of the Arkansas Red and
White river basins was proposed by
Representative Wesley E Disney of
Tuisa in a bill introduced in the house
of representatives Monday
The measure would authorize an
approptiation of $75000000 for the
development work of the authority
which would be named the “Arkansas
valley authority”
In drafting the bill the Oklahoman
left wide discretion of what indivi-
dual projects should be constructed
to the directors of the authority
which would be incorporated like the
TVA He so worded the bill how-
ever that the development program
would necessarily follow very closely
the recommendation of the Mississip-
pi river basin committee of the public
works administration recently sub-
mitted to congress
7 hat committee outlined many de-
tailed projects for the basins of the
three rivets ranging from soil ero-
sion dams and construction to gigan-
tic hydro-electric plants which could
in contracts with states cities other
political subdivi-ioni and individuals
for the sale of the cheap power
Provision for flood control work
oil erosion prevenion irrigation
construction of dams and reservoirs
and other minor worka are likewise
contained in the 16-page bill
Action upon the bill will necessarily
be delayed until after the president
submits his message upon waterways
and natural resources development to
congress probably in several weeks
Although realizing this Disney ex-
plained he wished to have hie mea-
sure before other members of con-
gress for study and consideration in
the meantime and to he used by the
proper committees when this phase
of the administration's legislative
program ia reached
Assisting the Oklahoma congress-
man in drafting the measure was I
G Harmon special representative of
Gov-elect E W Marland who ex-
pects to remain in the capitol to press
for Arkansas development until some
action ia taken by congress

Rigsby Released
By Murray Order
Muskogeean Given Unlimited Parole
From Life Sentence For
Barcus Murder
Blue Rigsby Muskogee real estate
man who was sentenced to life at
the McAlester state penitentiary for
the slaying of George W Barcus re-
tired railroad engineer near Pryor
in the fall of 1931 yesterday was
granted an unlimited parole by Gov-
ernor Murray
The word “unlimited” was con-
stiued to mean liberty unless Rigsby
is convicted of a felony
An eight-page order was issued by
the governor carrying affidavits of
several Muskogee people that Rigsby
attended an address by Governor Mur-
lay at the city hall here the night of
the murder and later went with his
wife and daughter to Tahlequah to
spend the night
Murder 50 Miles Away
The order also stated that Rigsby
stayed until the finish of the speech
ana as seen by several persons leav-
ing the hall that he was seen here
at the Illinois hotel at 10:30 o’clock
that evening and was seen driving
into the yard of Ed Covington at Tah-
lequah at 11 o’clock that night
The murder the governor said was
committed baween 11 o’clock and
midnight more than 50 miles from
where Rigsby was seen The gover-
nor said the man should be pardoned
but “peculiar circumstances” led him
to issue an unlimited parole instead
When Rigsby was tried at Pryor in
December 1931 the defense paraded
a phenomenal number of alibi wit-
nesses to the stand giving an unbrok-
en chain of evidence of his wherea-
bouts from early the night of the
mutder until long after the crime was
committed
Rigsby had been free for a month
on a leave of absense granted by the
governor and wag supposed to have
returned to prison January 8 Al-
though no notice of the leave was an-
nounced at Oklahoma City Rigsby
was noticed on the streets of Musko-
gee about a week after he was re-
leased Ploted With Wife
Mrs Elizabeth Barcus of the slain
railroad man whom the state alleged
plotted with Rigsby to do away with
the aged victim was tried sepa-
rately and sentenced to 10 years
The case is still pending in the state
court of criminal appeals
The Mayes county case disclosed
an affair in which 'Rigsby wag pur-
ported to have won the affections of
Mrs Barcus The picture set up by
the prosecution and Barcus Rigsby
and an unidentified man riding in
Rigsby’s green Buick sedan through
Pryor about 10 o’clock the night of
the murder
Later Mrs Barcus moved the house-
hold goods to Siloam Springs Ark
transferred some $800 in postal sav-
ings to Rigsby and was to have met
him there
The defense used some 40 witness-
es to establish an alibi that Rigsby
went directly from Governor Mur-
ray's speaking to Tahlequah The
defense punctured the alibi aa too
“pat”

“The Secret Bride”
Coming: To the Lyric
s
Opens In Preview At 11:15 Saturday
Nighty Sunday And
Monday
Barbara Stanwyck in an entirely
new kind of role and with Warren
William as leading man comes ito the
Lyric theatre m Sunday and Monday
in her latest Warner Bros production
“The Secret Bride”
The picture based on the play by
Leonard Ide is a thrilling drama of
political intrigue which involves the
commission of two baffling murders
and the impeachment of the govern-
or of the state on bribery charges
It is said to provide Miss Stanwyck
with her greatest opportunity for
tense emotional characterization for
which she is famous
Secretly married to the attorney
general she learns on her very wed-
ding day that her father the gover-
nor has been charged with bribery
and her own husband-has to prosecute
him
Warren William playing the attor-
ney general hides a letter supposed-
ly written bv the governor soliciting
the bribe after he had pardoned a
big business man who had been im-
prisoned for embezzlement
The death of the financier by a re-
volver shot and later the murder of
an investigator in the attorney gen-
eral’s office who has made the charg-
es makes the case look black for the
governor who is impeached by the
legislature
The role of the murdered investi-
gator is played by Douglas Drum-
brille while Glenda Farrell has the
part of his sweetheart who is arrest-
ed for the crime and undergoes the
ordeal of a sensational court trial
Both the daughter and the attorney
general are called to the impeach-
ment trial which winds up in a dra-
matic scene in which the murders
are cleared up as well as the bribery
case
There is an unusually strong sup-
porting cast with Arthur Byron in the
role of the governor Grant Mitchell
s the cringing secretary of the slain
fiancier Henry O’Neil! in the role of
a big contractor and politician who
betrays the governor his best briend
Others include Arthur Ariesworth
Willard Robertson and William Dav-

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR CORN-
HOG PRODUCERS
A aeries of training schools for
com-hog producers who will serve aa
committeemen in the 1936 adjustment
program to begin shortly after mid-
January will initiate the 1936 pro-
gram in Oklahoma according to Paul
G Adams extension livestock specia-
list Oklahoma A A M college in
charge of corn-hog adjustment work
These county schools at which de-
tails of the plan and the handling of
contracts ana forms will be explain-
ed will be followed quickly by sign-
up meetings for producers Soon
thereafter elections to reorganise the
county corn-hog control associations
will he held The early stages of the
1336 campaign will be carried through
by the 1934 associations -The
1935 corn-hog adjustment con-
tract is simpler than tha 1934 con-
tract Adams said There is an ap-
plication form which accompanies it
and but one sign-up is required Two
signatures were necessary last rear
Some complications are expected this
year however through the fact that
producers have in many eases moved
to other farms so that corn and hog
bases will have to be shifted and re-
combined The training schools will
enable this work to be carried on
smoothly so that benefit payments
may be made more promptly Adams
believes
The contract this year calls for not
lees than 10 per cent reduction in
corn acreage against 25 per cent last
year This year however the con-
tracting producer may retire as much
as 80 per cent of his corn land and
be paid rental for it at the regular
rate of 35 rents a bushel on the W-
ti mated average corn yield of his land
taken out of corn The reduction ia
figured from the “base” of the 1932-
33 average acreage
Likewise only a 10 per rent reduc-
tion of bogs for market is required
in this year’s contract against 25
per cent last year and payment it
to be made at the rate of $15 a head
on the 10 per cent reduction The
base years used are 1932-33
Another provision new this year
which Adams expects to be found of
advantage ia that no restrictions are
Jlaced on the use of acres retired
ram corn production In fact no
“contacted acres" are required to
bo marked The fanner simply plants
10 per cent lose than his base acre-
age if ho chooses this minimum re-
duction He may put hia corn any-
where on the farm
