the robber made his get-a-
way.
Tbe FBI said if the prints
match, federal bank robbery
charges would be filed later
Thursday.
Technician Bill Revels
said he lifted “several latent
print s” from the door
“which can be a positive
identification when and if
the suspect is caught."
Police described the-Texas
suspect as being five foot. 11
inches, 140 to 150 pounds and

lice headquarters Thursday.
“I haven’t seen him. I
haven't even met him and
wouldn’t know him if I saw
him,'' Bowman said when
asked about Ellison's status
with the department.
Ellison, 60. has held the
police chief position, an elec-
tive office, six years.
Ellison and Curlock were
named in the felony charges
of falsifying court records
after an investigation of re-
ported irregularities in
charges and fines in Sayre
municipal court.
Ellison also was charged
with preparing false evi-
dence. Both he and Curlock,
who resigned recently as
city judge, pleaded innocent
to the charges and are free
on $2,000 bond each.
Assistant District Attorney
V. P. "Putt" McLain said
Thursday in Sayre that pre-
liminary hearing for Ellison
and Curlock had been set for
3 p.m. December 11 before
Beckham County Judge R.
E. Benton.
Bowman, who said he has
been living in Wichita Falls,
was born and raised at Sny-
der. He retired from the air
force as a master sergeant
in 1960. He said he was in
military police work while
on active duty.
Bowman, a widower with
no children, said he worked
for a time for the Pinkerton
Detective Agency in Oklaho-
ma City after his retirement
and later was a policeman in
Deer Park, Texas, a suburb
of Houston.
Bowman said he met with
Mayor Benda and the Sayre
city council Tuesday night to
discuss the police chief's job.
Mayor Benda referred all
calls by newsmen to City At-
torney Rizley Wednesday
when reports began circulat-
ing that a new police chief
had been named.
Rizley said Wednesday El-
lison had met with the city
council Tuesday night but
that the chief had not re-
signed or suspended himself
and that the council “did not
ask for his resignation.”

Defend CIA
MANILA (AP) - The Ma-
nila Daily Bulletin came to
the defense of the U. S. Cen
tral Intelligence Agency
Thursday, commenting that
the allegation that the CIA
was behind the murder of
Angeles City Councilor Jose
Roman was “fantastic” and
“preposterous."
Angeles Mayor Eugenio
Suaraez was quoted in news
reports as saying he be-
lieved the American agency
had a hand in the slaying of
Roman because he was a
key figure in recent feuding
between the city and the big
U. S. Clark Air Force Base,
which adjoins Angeles.
The Bulletin said Sua-
rez's accusation “is too
weird to grasp."

with long brown hair. Offi-
cers said he has a cleft in
the chin.
Witnesses at the bank de-
cribed the robber as being in
his early 20s, 5 feet, 10 inch-
es, 140 to 150 pounds with
long sandy brown hair.
Investigating officers con-
centrated their efforts on the
Texan after a bank teller,
Sharon Faye K r o e k e r,
picked the man from a
group of police photographs.
Shaw said Miss Kroeker, a
teller in the bank’s drive-in
booth, saw the robber run
from the north door and es-
cape down an alley.
Miss Kroeker told officers
the robber came out the
door, hesitated and ihen
sprinted south through an al-
ley and behind a wood stock-
ade fence.
Police said two other wit-
nesses inside the bank also
picked out the Texan’s pic-
ture along with that of an-
other man. Shaw said the
Texas suspect more closely
resembled t h e composite
drawing than the other pic-
ture.
Mrs. Judy Lee, the teller
who was robbed, also select-
ed two photographs — one
being the Texas escapee.
Detective Bill Hooten, art-
ist who drew the composite,
said Mrs. Lee was “real
shook up” but was sure the
Texas suspect resembled the
robber.
Police also were continu-
ing to check out a 1968 yel-
low Chevrolet, believed to
have been the get-a-way car.
The car, owned by the
Oklahoma Publishing Co.,
was found abandoned in a
parking lot in the 100 block
W Main shortly after noon
Wednesday. The car was sto-
len from a company lot be-
tween 9 and 10 a.m. Wednes-
day. The robbery occurred
at 11:27 a.m.
The car contained a blue
jacket, which resembled one
worn by the robber. The
jacket, which was in the car
when it was stolen, was
being sent to the FBI labora-
tory in Washington for anal-
ysis, police said.

BIG DEAL was closed Thursday as Jake Aynesworth,
Dallas, representing the Small Business Administra-
tion, bid $185,000 for the purchase of Frontier City
USA. Supplying the sale form is Bill Brock, Norman,
one of three Oklahoma brokers assisting at the public
auction. The sale will he subject to approval of the fed-
eral district court. (Times Staff Photo by George Tap-

ference, making plain to
newsmen he does not think
delicate diplomatic nego-
tiations should be publicly
aired.
He said “we are working
very hard and ery diligent-
ly” for a peaceful solution
to the Vietnam conflict
and that as time goes by
he feels ever greater justi-
fication for his March 31
decision to limit bombing
of North Vietnam to its
southern panhandle.
This led to the U. S.-
North Vietnamese talks
now going on in Paris.
But as to whether the
situation has moved signif-
icantly toward a settle-
ment since the October 17
White House statement
amid speculation of an Ira-
ni i n e n t breakthrough.
Johnson returned to that
statement.
He recalled that press
secretary George Chris-
tian said then, “There has
been no basic change in
the situation — no break-
through.” And that is cor-
rect as of today, he said.

eluded — and the coffee is
no longer free,” Wooley
told the small crowd.
Talking with reporters,
Aynesworth said the park
“belongs to the Small Bus-
iness Administration if the
court confirms it.”
Aynesworth said the
SBA has received apprais-
als on the property.
"We think this property
is very valuable property.
We’ll keep it operating to
try 1o protect these leas-
es.” he said.
Some of the individual
shops and concessions at
Frontier City have leases
which will not expire until
1973.
“This is a hard property
to sell because of existing
leases,” he said. “If the
court does not confirm the
sale, it could come in and
order another auction.”
Aynesworth said the
$185,000 bid was “a mini-
mum figure as far as
we’re concerned,” and in-
dicated he was prepared to
bid a higher sum had it
been necessary.
Aynesworth said the
SBA’s objective was to
protect the taxpayers’
money and not allow the
park to be sold for a frac-
tion of its value.

Color TV Rise Seen
NEW YORK (AP) — Color

pected to hit 6 million this
year, a gain of about 15 per-
cent from 1967, says Stand-
LOS ANGELES (AP) —

Ex-Banker Dies
DALLAS (AP) — Dr. W.
H. Irons, 65, retired former
president of the Dallas Fed-
eral Reserve Bank, died
Wednesday.
NEW YORK (AP) — The
arrest of nine anti-Castro
Cubans has forestalled plans
to assassinate the Cuban
ambassador to the United
Nations and to raid a nation-
al guard armory, says Chief
Assistant District Attorney
Allred .1. Scolti.
The nine were seized
W ednesday in pre-dawn
raids and charged with a sp-
ries of bombings here of of-
fices of nations that trade
with Cuba.
The second stage of the re-
volutionary plan, Scotti said,
specifically included killing
Cuba's UN Ambassador Dr.
Ricardo Alarcon dp Quesa-
da and theft of munitions
from the 106lh Infantry Ar-
mory in Brooklyn.
Cache Reported
The third phase. Scotti
said, was the bombing and
destruction of foreign ships
used in Cuban trade.
Arresting officers report-
edly uncovered a cache of
guns — some equipped with
silencers — as well as load-
ed pistols and army uni-
forms.
The nine men have been
indicted by a Manhattan
grand jury on charges of ar-
son, reckless endangerment,
criminal mischief and the il-
legal possession of weapons
and explosives.
All Held in Bail
All were held in bail rang-
ing in amounts from $7,500
to $25,000. A hearing was set
for November 7.
Anli-Castro exiles, under
the banner of "Cuban Pow-
er." have been led by Dr.
Orlando Bosch of Miami,
Fla. Bosch was arrested by
federal authorities last June
11 in Orlando, Fla., on
charges of possessing 18 ae-
rial bombs. Bosch and two
others later were charged
with shelling a Polish
freighter in Miami harbor
Bombings Listed
Manhattan bombings in-
cluded the Spanish Tourist
Bureau, Canadian Tourist
Bureau, the Japanese Na-
tional Tourist Office, a
brownstone adjacent to the
Cuban Mission to the United
Nations, the French Tourist
Office, and the Bank of To-
kyo Trust Co.
Most of the bombings oc-
curred at night and injured
none. The daytime explosion
at the Japanese tourist office
in Rockefeller Center in-
jured a woman tourist and
her daughter.
