Council Present
Mayor Norick said his
remarks would be brief, as
the weekly city council
meeting was only seven
minutes away. He then
noted that most council

Education
Aid Funds
Need Told
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —;
President Johnson unveiled
reports Tuesday that esti-
mated that direct federal aid
to college students must be
increased 400 percent to $2.1
billion in the next five years
if education goals are to be
met.
Johnson made public two
documents submitted by Wil-
bur J. Cohen, secretary of
health, education and wel-
fare.
Both booklets looked
ahead to a growing student
population and the need for
more teachers and more dol-
lars to maintain the educa-
tional system.
Markham Resigns
The Texas White House
also announced the resigna-
tion of Sherwin J. Markham,
who has been an assistant to
the president for nearly
three years. He will become
a partner in a Washington
law firm.
Press secretary Geroge
Christian, when asked if he
anticipated further staff res-
ignations in the waning days
of the administration, said,
“I would imagine most of
the president’s staff would
stay on through the inaugu-
ration."
Highlights Quoted
The two reports from Coh-
en, prepared by the Office of
Education, looked at the ed-
ucation outlook for the new
school year starting this
month and at likely needs in
the first half of the 1970s.
Some highlights:
With more students and
teachers than ever before,
spending at all levels for
public and private education
will increase by $3.9 billion
in 1968-69 to a record $58.5
billion.
At least 500,000 more
teachers will be needed by
1975, mainly to reduce the
pupil-teacher ratio and to
teach the growing number of
kindergarten enrollees.
was an
anniversary breakfast in
the Skirvin Hotel’s Imperi-
al Ballroom. Sneed, w’ho
served as master-of-cere-
monies, said the jammed
room represented “the
largest breakfast ever held
in Oklahoma City."
Double Birthday
The 50th anniversary
date also held a special
meaning for Mrs. J. W.
McLean, the bank presi-
dent’s wife, as she cele-
brated her birthday.
Traveling from Califor-
nia were Mr. and Mrs.
George L. Browning jr.
Browning's father is one of
the founders of the bank.
‘Renaissance’ Hailed
Receiving rounds of ap-
plause were four of the
bank's 50-year customers,
Mrs. Pearl Barnes, Buren
B. Day, and Mr. and Mrs.
E. G. Schwartz.
Golden yellow carna-
tions were seen in profu-
sion, and the Liberty Bank
pages wore new uniforms
— golden yellow dresses
with navy blue ties.
In his breakfast speech,
McLean pointed out sever-
al reasons why Liberty has
decided to launch the "re-
naissance" in downtown
Oklahoma City.
Growth Burgeons
Projected growth for the
three years between 1967
and 1970, include a popula-
tion increase of 9.3 per-
cent, he said, with total
employment up 7.2 per-
cent.
Consumption of electrici-
ty and gas is expected to
climb 19.1 percent, with
water meters increasing
by 8.1 percent and tele-
phone connections 6.5 per-
cent, he said.
1971 Target Set
Largest growth figures
are expected to.be for air-
line passengers, 52.2 per-
cent; consumer sales, 22.2,
and bank clearings, 20.8.
The multi-storied build-
ing, a project of Griffin
Enterprises, Inc., is slated
for occupancy in early 1971
as a key factor in the
downtown renewal master
plan.
Third Home
Liberty National Bank
and Trust Co. will occupy
approximately seven
floors in the building,
which will blend contem-
porary and Spanish archi-
tecture.
The new building will be
the third home for Liberty,
which opened at Robinson
and Main, in what is cur-
rently known as the Oil
and Gas Building, on Sep-
tember 3,1918.
Since 1952. Liberty has
been located in the former
Apco Tower building, Park
Ave. and Robinson.

We reported this to the office of traffic control and
these signs have now been replaced.
There is some trash and rubbish piled up in the 3100
block S High that has been there for some time and
needs to be taken away. M. E.
This was called to the attention of D. C. Cleveland,
director of the environmental health division of the city-
county health department, and this refuse has now been
removed.
There is a truck that has been parked across the
street from my house in the 2800 block SW 42 for the past
three months. It does not have a 1968 license tag. Mrs.
W. L. B.
We reported this to Maj. S. W. Stephens, police de-
partment traffic division commander, and this truck has
now been impounded.
•
There is a low place in the street in the 2400 block
SW 63 that permits water to collect when it rains. This is
sloppy in the summertime and dangerous in the winter-
time when the water freezes. Can something be done?
Mrs. F. S.
We took this up with Forrest Keene, assistant direc-
tor of the department of public works. He says the street
department has now filled in this area with asphalt and
that should provide great improvement.
•
I have subscribed to a household magazine for the
past several years and have not received an issue since
last January. I wrote to the magazine, but never re-
ceived a reply. Can you help me? Mrs. R. L. W., I.a-
verne.
We reported this to the Better Business Bureau and
they got in touch with the magazine. The BBB says you
have now received an adjustment.

Our home telephone costs us over $34 a month, since
we have to go through a repeater station in 1 ukon.
There is a line, however, within two blocks of our house.
Could we hook on to that and reduce our rates? Mrs. L.
McP.
Jim R. Reed, district manager of Southwestern Bell
Telephone Co., says he has been in touch with you ex-
plaining that your telephone usage makes it more eco-
nomical for you to have Oklahoma City “foreign ex-
change” service, rather than Yukon service, which nor-
mally would be provided at your location. The line you
mention, he says, is a long distance cable and not one
used for providing local service.

Judge Wilson said in his
statement Tuesday that the
sale by lot to Bullard and
Hall, who is president of
Star Manufacturing Co.,
Oklahoma City, was made in
the court's discretion after
art dealers in New York,
Dallas and Denver, said they
were not interested in buying
the collection in its entirety.
Judge Wilson said a Den-
ver art firm said it could
guarantee no more than
$175,000 if the collection
were sold at auction, and bid
$117,000 for the lot.
Offers Cited
Mlskovsky and Cargill
challenged this, and claimed
they had offers from two
other Oklahoma City galler-
ies, plus five New York
firms who are interested in
acquiring the Doleses' offer
ings.
Judge Wilson said at one
point Tuesday that Miskov-
sky, Cargill and their client,
Mrs. Dolese, "have a highly-
inflated idea of the worth of
this collection."
He said some of the items
are very good, and others
“are junk.” The judge said
many have deteriorated
through 10 years in storage
vaults, and will have to be
restored.
Miskovsky offered three
alternatives for selling the
couple's acquired collec-
tions.
He asked that the items be
given to Mrs. Dolese and
charged to her part of the
property settlement, at the
full appraisal estimate of
$293,796; that they be sold at
public auction, or that they
be sold by closed bid after
notice to art dealers.
Some Found
Judge Wilson said about 90
items that had been pre-
viously missing were found
by the three appraisers he
appointed last spring.
Besides Bullard, another
Oklahoman appointed by the
court was Mrs. Bobbie
Whiteside, Altus, who oper-
ates an interior decorating
shop there. The third ap-
praiser was from Dallas.
Judge Wilson, in defending
the court's order to sell to
Bullard, said he had never
known Bullard before he ap-
pointed him to the job, Is not
related to him and has no in-
terest whatsoever in the dis-
position of the art collec-
tions.
Miskovsky claimed Bul-
lard, as the court-appointed
appraiser, holds a fiduciary
position, and cannot legally
purchase what he has evalu-
ated for the court.
Judge Wilson read figures
of the three appraiser*
which disclosed that Bul-
lard’s estimates were higher
than both Mrs. Whiteside’s
and the Dallas expert's. The
judge said this was because
some of his were pure esti-
mates based on objects that
were still crated.
Deposit Offered
Miskovsky said Mrs.
Dolese wants the Items id
set up two of her daughters
in an Oklahoma City busi-
ness. He asked the court for
eight hours to arrange for a
public auction or some other
disposal, and offered to put
up cash in the amount of
Bullard's and Hall's bids to
show good faith.
Judge Wilson was still*
hearing Miskovsky’s argu-V
ments at noon.

Doctor’s Move
Saves Hospital
NEW YORK (AP) — A un-
ity meeting of the Commu-I
nist Party, U. S. A., saw
leaders split in the matter of
condoning the Soviet bloc in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Ai a meeting Monday the
pro-Moscow line won out, an
j observer said, by only a sin-
gle vote.
The session opened Satur-
day with about 100 party
leaders from across the
country. It was called to re-
pair the split in opinion fol-
lowing the August 20 inva-
sion. and was the first major
crisis in the 13,000-member
party since the abortive 1956
Hungarian uprising.
Mike Stein, executive sec-
retary of the New York dis-
trict Communist Party,
termed M o n d a y's motion
“vindictive” and said it
would harm party unity.
Stein said the party’s chief
spokesman, Gus Hall, re-
fused to call an immediate
meeting of the national
board or committee follow-
ing the invasion.
Hall said at the time the
occupation was necessary to
eliminate "anti-socialist ele-
ments” from the Prague
government.
But Gilbert Green, leader
of the New York state party,
and other communist lead-
ers attacked the invasion as
a "very serious blunder.”
Union Men
Warned
CHICAGO (AP) — The
president of the Internation-
al Machinists Union warned
Tuesday that "if union mem-
bers let their emotions over-
rule their reason" in the No-
vember election "we will
end up with a government
that is not only racist but
anti-union."
President Roy Siemiller
voiced the warning in re-
marks to the union's conven-
tion.
The union, the internation-
al association of machinists
and aerospace workers, has
1,014.468 members in the
United States and Canada.
Drive Opened
To Help Priests
LONDON (AP) — Some
Roman Catholic laymen and
a number of Protestants
have started a fund-raising
campaign to help priests
forced to give up their voca-
tion because they cannot ac-
cept Pope Paul Vi’s ruling
against contraception.
They said at least 11 Brit-j
ish priests are now withou'
their posts, the homes they
lived In, or any immediate
livelihood.

Catchy
SANTA FE, N. M. (AP) —
A traditional "historical-hys-

at current news figures, cli-
maxed the 256th annual San-
ta Fe Fiesta Monday.
One satirical float ihat
wound through the ancient
city's narrow downtown
streets proclaimed, "Nixon's
The One." But there was a
catch to the endorsement.
One of the teeth in a huge
poster of the Republican
presidential nominee was
blacked out, and a man
walked behind the float
carrying a sign which read,
"Humphrey's the other
one.”
