Arkansas River Compact
Commission met here Tues-

draft a compact for sharing

the water suitable for irriga-

Court Action Seen in Strike
NEW YORK (AP) — Court action on the stalemated
teachers' strike loomed Wednesday as a judge promised
swift consideration of moves to punish and possibly jail
the head of the United Federation of Teachers.
"The situation is deteriorating fast and becoming in-
tolerable,” said Francis Bloustein, state supreme court
justice. "This court will not stand by and permit the situ-
ation to drift and drift. It helps very little to insist that
negotiations are going on.”
However, it appeared that no peace talks were in
process. Union President Albert Shanker’s call for
round-the-clock negotiations went unanswered and he sat
in his Park Ave. South office while the court proceedings
went on.
State Sen. Ted C. Fideiss
of Oklahoma City confirmed
Wednesday that he is going
to London, England, and
handed Oklahoma County
Republicans the job of re-
placing him on the Novem-
ber general election ballot.
Completing a 4-year term
in the state senate from Dis-
trict 47, Findeiss was run-
ning for re-election when,
two weeks ago, he was of-
fered an overseas job.
He said he had informed
Melvin Gragg, county Re-
publican chairman, and that
the county executive com-
mittee has 15 days in which
to appoint his successor on
the ballot.
District Described
A. Bob Jordan, a Demo-
crat, also is seeking election
to the District 47 seat. The
district includes Nichols
Hills and the Belle Isle and
Edgemere areas of Oklaho-
ma City.
Findeiss. married and the
father of two sons and two
daughters, said he will be
associated with the interna-
tional division of King Re-
sources Co., which also has
offices in Oklahoma.
Offices to Ope*
He said the firm expects to
open offices in Europe and
other foreign areas. Al-
though oil and gas is the pri
mary objective, he said, his
work will relate to hard-rock
minerals.
Findeiss, an engineer and
i attorney, has been engaged
in overseas oil activities for
Big Chief Drilling Co., Sene-
ca Oil Co. and Essex Corp.
all of Oklahoma City, for the
last several years.
He said he regrets drop-
ping out of the senate, but.
”1 would be less than honest
if I were not aware of the
fact that I have a greater ob-
ligation. and that is to my
family.”
