Land Loads Scoring
Walt Land, playing his best game
the year, went scoreless for El
eno in the first stanza, then the
g 6-5 junior racked up 10 points
the second to hold the Tribe in
e game. Land went 0 for 5 on
;e free-toss line, but still tied
lickasha’s hotshot Troy Hill for |
gh-score honors with 18 points.
Although El Reno excelled in
borwork, especially on defense
nd under the baskets. Chickasha's
jear-perfect record at the charity
ripe nearly won them the mueh-
?eded game.
The Chicks counted 14 of 17 at-
fmpts, while El Reno dropped in
hly 5 of 15. Troy Hill had a per-
j*t evening for Chickasha in scor-
es a perfect 8 for 8, while Way-
;nd O’Neal, his lanky running
ate, netted 6 out of 7 charity
tows. O’Neal’s total for the eve-
big was 16.
No Game "Stars'*
Coach Simmons played only sev-
men throughout the game, start-
;g Land, Jerry Tillery and Jody
arris in their regular slots, with
il Gholston and Pat McCabe sub-
ituting for Fred Singleton and
on Wallace who saw limited but

-tA’1—The U. S. seventh fleet
?ared Formosa today with the
vacuated Tachens garrison but
ven before its arrival time the
ationalists reported the Reds
ere massing armed junks near
'atsu—an offshore island the Na-
onalists hope the fleet will help

Barely had word reached Taipei
iat the seventh had wound up its
ullout of the Nationalists on the
achens 200 miles north of For-
tosa than Chiang Kai-Shek’s de-
nse ministry put out the report

The defense ministry said more

Indians Now Lead Boomer Loop
With Timely Push From Duncan
gL RENO'S Indians Friday night rocketed from third-place
to top rung of the AA Boomer basketball conference
ladder by upending the Chickasha Chicks, 51-50. in one of
the most thrilling games ever witnessed in the old EHS
gymnasium.
The Indians gained the Boomer lead and a possible
share of the league crown with the assistance of Duncan’s
Demons who cut down Lawton, Chickasha's running mate
at head of the conference
playoffs.
Coach Gerald Stockton's De-
mons upset the Wolverines, 41-35,
in their unintentional (no doubt)
assist of El Reno toward the top.
As the score stands today,
Chickasha and Lawton are tied
for second place with 4-2 records,
while El Reno holds a slight
edge with 5 wins and two losses.
About Time!
DROBABLY a good thing that
* El Reno's old highschool
gym soon will be retired to
quiet practice sessions, and an
occasional less-heated basket-
ball game than Friday night's
encounter with Chickasha.
Not only did the roaring
crowd threaten to shake down
the ceiling, but a group of dis-
gruntled Chickasha fans did
just that—after the final gun
and the crowd began to swarm
across the floor, big chunks of
ceiling board were sent flying
into the mob from the north
balcony.
The impromptu house-wreck-
ing was halted, but not Before
sizable inroads had been made
in the ceiling.
However, such incidents are
not expected to happen in the
new Simmons Hall—the ceiling
is too high and the seats are
concrete and too heavy for
throwing.
Voter Books
To Open For
City Election
Preparations for the annual city
council elections will begin today
with opening of voter registration
books for the March 15 primary
election.
While the law requires that the
books be opened, the primary
election is unlikely to be held here,
since candidates have always filed
on non-partisan tickets.
Mrs. J. W. Ozmun, county reg-
istrar, said the books for the pri-
mary will remain open until
March 4.
Meanwhile, Miss Ethel Dowell,
city clerk, said a 10-day filing pe-
riod for council candidates will be-
gin Wednesday, Feb. 23, will con-
tinue until March 5.
City general elections will be
held on April 5, the first Tues-
day of the month.
Terms of three city council mem
bers are due to expire this vear.
They are those of Garrett Miles,
Mrs. W. H. Wells, and Orb Mobley.
Mrs. Wells was named to fill out
the unexpired term of E. R. Slo-
cum and Mobley was named to
succeed Warren C. DeMoss at a
council meeting last Oct. 1.
Miles was elected vice-mayor at
that meeting.
DOTH the Chicks and Wolver-
ines have two conference
games remaining on their sched-
ules, while the Indians meet Law-
ton there Friday night in their
final Boomer encounter.
Lawton still must meet winless
Ardmore, following the El Reno
match, and Chickasha has both
Ardmore and Duncan on its
schedule.
BOOMER STANDINGS
Team Won Lost Pet.
El Reno.....5 2 .714
Lawton _______4 2 .644
Chickasha ... 4 2 .444
Duncan ______2 4 .333
Ardmore ____ 0 5 .000
El Reno’s chances in gaining
part of the conference crown still
involve several “ifs”, such as:
IF the Indians manage to get by
1 Lawton on the Wolverine
court Friday evening, they have
a cinch on at least a three-way
tie for the crown, or
If Duncan can repeat with an-
other boost by dumping Chicka-
sha, or if luckless Ardmore can
snap its losing string by upsetting
either the Chicks or Lawton, the
Indians still can split the cham-
pionship and take a loss at Law-
ton, but
If Chickasha is defeated in one
of its two remaining games and
El Reno dumps the Wolverines,
Coach Jenks Simmons can chalk
lip his 12th consecutive win or
share of the conference crown.
Friday night's quick turn in
Boomer fortunes proved the old
Arabian adage, "My enemy’s
enemy is my friend.” El Reno’s
Indians, always happy to romp
over Duncan in either basketball
or football, hold a more affec-
tionate feeling towards the De-
mons today.
Youth Activity
Plan Is Studied
Meeting To Take Up
Coordinated Effort
Plans to form a special commu-
nity council to further year-round
youth activities in El Reno will
be taken up at a special meeting
by representatives of all civic or-
ganizations Monday night.
The session, sponsored by an
American Legion committee head-
ed by J. T. Douglas, will begin at
7:30 p. m. in the city school ad-
ministration building.
Stephens to Speak
Keynote of the meeting will be
set by Waldo E. Stephens, Okla-
homa City businessman and mem-
ber of the state crime study com-
mission. who will be guest speak-
er for the program.
Douglas said the proposed com-
munity council would not interfere
with any current youth program
sponsored by city civic clubs or by
the current summer youth recrea-
tion setup.
Coliseum Board
Is Completed At
Council Meeting
Trio To Represent
City; Ceremonies At
Dedication Planned
A five-member board to operate
the new city Coliseum was com-
pleted with selection of three city
representatives at an adjourned
portion of the regular city council
meeting Friday night.
The three are Roy Baucom,
Frank Prevratil and Jim Bass,
who will serve with two national
guard representatives, Howard
Hamilton and Jim Blair in govern-
ing use and operation of the Coli-
seum, which includes armory
space, basketball court and other
civic center facilities.
Terms Not Stated
Lengths of terms of the board
members were not specified by the
council, which took the action in
accordance with a contract be-
tween the city and the national
guard covering general operation
and maintenance of the new build-
ing.
Following appointment of the
city's representatives on the board
Mayor George Edgar said a re-
quest is expected to be delivered
to the hoard asking that arrange-
ments be made for dedication cere
monies opening the Coliseum the
latter part of this month
Participation by the Oklahoma
national guard, El Reno school dis-
trict No. 34 and the city in the
ceremonies is to be sought, he
said.
Fourth Mooting Sot
Council members, who met an
hour earlier than usual, considered
a variety of other unfinished busi-
ness before adjourning to 7:30 p.m.
next Friday, Feb. 18—their fourth
session this month.
They deferred approval of
contract between the city and Al-
lied Builders on admission of the
new Southern heights addition, east
of Gadberry addition pending work-
ing out of additional details to be
included in the contract.
These include addition of speci-
fications on two concrete culverts
and paving in the district, and a
possible agreement with owners of
adjacent property to put in a storm
sewer through the district between
the Southern heights addition and
the present south city limits.
Decisions Delayed
Action also was put off on regu-
lation of air conditioners to save
city water supplies, and on a re-
quest by the Caddo Electric co-
operative that it lie granted an
easement to serve Town Acres ad-
dition if the addition is brought into
the city limits.
Council members decided to de-
lay action on the electric coopera-
tive’s request after City Manager
C. A. Bentley said he believed such
permission could be given only
through a franchise which could be
granted by a vote of the people.
A contract between the city and
Industrial Engineers corporation
for the throwing of an old smoke-
stack at the city water plant was
approved, and councilmen took
under study a complaint that tele-
phone and power line poles in the
1100 block on West London are set
Two El Reno Men Jailed
After Slugfest at Drivein
Two El Reno men were
charged in county court Saturday
with aggravated assault after
what Police Chief Lee Harvey
described as an "Oklahoma City
style" fracas sent two men to
Park View hospital shortly be-
fore midnight Friday.
Those accused were named as
Loyd Charles Smith. 19, of the
800 block on South Choctaw, and
George Chaney Haynes, 22, of
the 400 block on West Wade.
Both entered pleas of innocent
before Judge Sam Roberson and
were released under $2,000 bond
each.
Smith was charged with strik-
ing and beating Vincent Stevens,
39. of Oklahoma City, and Haynes
was charged with beating Elmei
Groves, 35, also of Oklahoma
City.
Groves was taken to the lios-
pital to have stitches taken in
his scalp, and also suffered an
eye injury, a police report said,
while Stevens also was taken to
the hospital for "first aid ”
Two women, identified as Billie
Frith, 28, Oklahoma City, and
Joye Gerlich, 23, of the 200
block on West Wade, also re-
ported being struck.
Police Chief Lee Harvey said
officers called to the scene re-
ported that the two Oklahoma
City men, accompanied by the
two young women, had just left
a drive-in cafe door when a car
drove up and two youths sprang
out and knocked the two men
down.
No reason was given for the
incident and County Attorney
Roy M. Faubion said none of the
group reporting the attack had
known the two youths previously.

Suspect Held
In Burglary
County officers were holding a
17-year old Oklahoma City youth
Saturday in a continuing investi-

Sheriff Tiny Royse said the youth
gave his name as Jimmy White
and was believed to have been a
companion of another man, who
gave his name as James Sanders,

Highway Funds
Meeting Slated
Discussions To Air
Sunset Drive Work
Efforts of city and state officials
to secure a quarter of a million
dollars in federal funds for widen-
ing of Sunset drive will be resumed
Wednesday, Feb. 16, at a meeting
in Oklahoma City.
The meeting was announced Fri-
day night at a meeting of the city
council, requested of the state high-
way commission.
The city has been offered be-
tween $250,000 and $300,000 in fed-
eral funds to take care of the costs
of widening the street, which cur-
rently lies along the route of
U. S. 66.
Stoldt to Attend
City Manager C. A. Bentley said
those expected to be present for
the talks which will begin at 10
a m. Wednesday in Oklahoma City,
will include C. A. "Bud” Stoldt,
state highway director; Bob Barr!
state highway commissioner, and
State Senator Jim Rinehart
The city will be represented by
Bentley, City Attorney Pat Wea- er
and three members of the city
council, Ira N. Wilson, David White
and Paul Liebmann.
The federal funds offer was un-
veiled late last year and drew
quick response from the public,
running to strong approval of ac-
ceptance to opposition on the part
of some residents on Sunset drive.
No Action Taken
Following earlier meetings with
state highway officials city council-
men had stressed that the pro-
posed widening project would not
keep the route of U. S. 66 from
being moved outside the city at
some future date.
However, no action has yet been
taken to secure the funds pending
receipt of further information.
Bentley said it was not known
how much of the necessary infor-
mation might be forthcoming at
Wednesday morning’s meeting.

Both were identified as the sons
of Mrs. M. C. Chambers, 1403
South Hadden.
Machinegun Gives City Police
Jolt, But Proves To Be Empty
Score Killed In
Flophouse Fire;
12 Persons Hurt
Victims Trapped In
Upper Floors, Halls
As Building Burns
CHICAGO. Feb 12 —(IP—
Fire swept a skid row flop-
house Saturday, killing more
than a score of men and driv-
ing 250 others into the street
in sub-zero weather.
At noon the Cook county
morgue listed 23 bodies, and
firemen said more might be
found in the ice-encrusted
ruins of the dilapidated Bar-
ton hotel, an ancient, five-
story brick structure.
Twelve injured were taken
to the county hospital, where
doctors feared some might
die.
Many of the dead were trapped
in upper floor cubicles partitioned
off with wood, corrugated iron and
wire mesh, each containing a
single bed and little more. Others
perished as they struggled through
smoke-filled hallways.
Probe Launched
k iremen said the blaze may have
started from ignition of a bottle
of rubbing alcohol a tenant used
to rub on his crippled legs.
The coroner's office began an
immediate investigation.
Scores of the shivering homeless
crowded into the nearby Salvation
Army Harbor Lights mission,
many of them clad only in their
underwear.
The fire broke out at 2:30 a. m.
EST, and quickly turned the ram-
shackle building into a blazing
deathtrap Outer walls of the build-
ing were left standing, but the in-
terior was a shambles of charred
debris.
Tenant Hears Screams
Night Clerk C. W. Harvey said
the fire apparently started in a
rude cubicle occupied by J. Ar-
matyz, 63, tentatively identified as
one of the dead.
Another tenant heard Armatyz
scream and found him and his bed
ablaze Harvey said Armatyz hab-
itually used rubbing alcohol, and
that it may have caught fire from
a cigaret.
As dawn broke, firemen were
forced to abandon their ladders,
bent beneath the weight of ice
formed from the water from fire
hoses.
Battling both the flames and the
bitter cold, firemen were ham-
pered by ice which formed on their
helmets and sheathed their coats.
One Man Leaps
Many of the dead were found
near doors, in hallways and near
windows leading to fire escapes.
Police said at least one man was
killed when he leaped from an
upper story window.
By some freak, one man was
rescued after sleeping peacefully
in his cubicle for 2M hours. An-
other man, carried barefooted
from the building, kept mumbling.
“God it's cold."
Coroner Walter E. McCarron,
who hastened to the scene, said he
would impanel a “blue ribbon”
coroner's jury Monday.
McCarron said several tenement
fires in the last few years have
caused loss of life, and that he
would demand prosecution of
those responsible for any condi-
tions which led to fatalities.
Lack of Proper Permit
Denied in County Court
L. R. Vaughn, accused in coun-
ty court of operating a trailer with-
out a proper permit from the state
corporation commission, entered a
plea of innocent Friday before
Judge Sam Roberson.
He was released on his own
recognizance to appear again in
court at 10 a m. on Feb. 18.
The Hertz DrWeurself of Okla-
homa City was named as co-de-
fendant in the case.
Two El Reno policemen, used
to everything from soothing irri-
tated buffalo to calming angry
motorists, were trying late Satur-
day to quiet their own nerves
after taking an unexpected peck
down the barrel of a machine-
gun.
Police Chief Lee Harvey said
the incident began shortly after
noon when Patrolman Harold
Knox was called to the 500 block
on South Frances by someone
who claimed a man was chasing
a small boy with a gun.
Knox made the call, found
nothing alarming and returned
to the police station.
But about 1 p. m. the police
station received another call
from the neighborhood, again
complaining about a man with a
gun.
Knox climbed into the police
car, this time accompanied by
Sergeant N. E. Douglas, and re-
turned to the scene.
There they were confronted
with a 36-year-old man, sitting
on his front porch with a Ger-
man model machine gun, Har-
vey said.
The police chief said the man
ordered officers to leave, but
when they reached for their own
guns he hurled his machinegun
to the ground.
"The gun turned out to be
empty, but the officers couldn't
know that,” Harvey said.
He explained that the gun had
a clip in it, and it was impossible
to determine that there were no
shells inside.
“Both of them thought they
were gone,” he said.
The man, overpowerd and ar-
rested, was turned over to the
county jail for safekeeping until
Monday, when the police chief
said charges probably will be
filed
Meanwhile the two officers are
wondering if their speed is quite
up to the occasion if they should
ever face a loaded machinegun.
City Speech
Students Win
High Honors
El Reno highschool debate stu-
dents held three first place awards
and a series of other high honors
Saturday after competing in a
speech tournament Friday at Law-
ton.
The three first places were won
by Rickey Mathews, in radio
speaking; Pat Senn, in oral inter-
pretation of dramatic literature
and by Judy Stevenson, in extem-
poraneous speaking.
Capture of the first place honors
makes the three eligible to com-
pete in state finals at the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, Norman, in
April, the highschool journalism
and debate teacher, Dr. James L.
Oxford, said.
A second place in debate was
won by an El Reno team composed
of George Osborne, Laney Mc-
Daniel, Joy Renner and Judith Ste-
venson, after losing in the finals to
Lawton with a record of four wins
out of six rounds.
Joy Renner placed third in
original oratory; George Osborne
was rated excellent in discussion
and took third place in extempora-
neous speaking.
An El Reno radio play cast,
von Van Buskirk, Kenneth Jc
son, Ricky Mathews, Jonnt- C
and Macsene Clark, was rati
cellent—the highest award
in that division.
