OKLAHOMA CITY TIMES
Gallup Says His Palls
Don’t Sway Voters
(Continued From Page 1)
said his polls "make ends
meet" by borrowing talent
and facilities nationwide.
Gallup did strike a de-
fensive note, on criticism
by Wallace who had called
him a puppet of eastern
money interests.
“There were compensa-
tions," he said. "1 don’t
happen to know George
Wallace."
Mears, who covered Nix-
on’s campaign more than
any AP reporter, said Nix-
on's camp was more com-
placent than Nixon was
ever ready to admit. He
said that might explain the
vote-getting splurge by
Humphrey in the waning
weeks before election.
"Nixon may have done a
great bit to make it hap-
pen," Mears said.
He said Nixon had a
knack for turning ques-
tions into those of his own
but said that Nixon still
wrestles wtih a public
communications problem.
Before the convention.
Nixon was quoted as say-
ing he would go to the big
cities to visit Negro areas
but in actuality. Mears
said, Nixon went only
twice to Negro communi-
ties and then only to semi-
private type meetings.
"He was a good bit more
co-operative with the
press,” Mears said, com-
paring 1 his year with Nix-
on’s last presidential race.
"He was friendly, although
it seemed contrived.”
He said that Nixon, he
believes, is going to need
the press more than he
ever did as a candidate.
‘Big WigsRoasted
Hate.”
Longtime Gridiron fans
will appreciate the flavor
of Bruce Palmer's back-
stage voice (“F r i e n d s,

pens in Oklahoma ),

ments as Mr. Voter and

ager. and this ditch has now been drained.
My son was in Vietnam when his wife sued him for
divorce here, and he got leave to come home on a mili-
tary transport plane. When he got ready to go back, they
told him he would have to pay his own way back to Sai-
gon from Oakland. Calif. This cost him $258.30 and he
didn’t hav e that much. Now, they are going to take it out
of his pay. Is this right? Mrs. F. O. C.
Tim Turnbull, service officer for American Legion
Post No. 35. checked this with military authorities. He
found that unless your son was traveling on orders he
does have to pay'his own transportation unless there
should be military transportation available.
There is an abandoned car on N Independence be-
tween NW 19 and NW 20. It is a traffic hazard. J. F.
We reported this to Maj. S. W. Stephens, police de-
partment traffic division commander, and this car has
now been impounded.
Is it legal for the city police chief to draw a salary
and a pension at the same time? I was under the im-
pression Chief Hilton Geer was retired. B. S.
Chief Geer was retired at one time and drew a pen-
sion during that time. However, when he was appointed
chief, his pension stopped and he draws only his salary.

There is an open manhole at NW 19 and Land that is
dangerous. Mrs. L. S.
We reported this to Forrest Keene, assistant director
of the department of public works, and this has now
been repaired.
There is some property in the 1600 block NW 19 that
is covered with weeds and refuse. O. T.
This was called to the attention of D. C. Cleveland,
director of the environmental health division of the city-
county health department, and this property has now
been cleaned up.
There is a misplaced street marker near my home
that is confusing. NW 64 does not continue west, but
turns south at my corner. The street continuing west be-
comes NW 65. However, instead of the NW 65 marker
being placed in the block where it starts, it was placed
at the end of the 3800 block NW 64, making people be-
lieve they are in the 3800 block NW 65. M. C.
We took this up with the office of traffic control and
this sign has now been placed in its proper location.

general interest questions can be given only in this col-
may have been just south
of the DMZ. “The incident
is being further investigat-
ed," he said.
South Vietnamese head-
quarters reported there
were two attacks on the
base, one at 6:30 a.m.
Tuesday and the second at
1:30 p.m.. and both came
from south of the DMZ.
A government spokes-
man said enemy gunners
fired 30 mortar rounds into
the base from two firing
positions, one 200 to 300
yards south of the DMZ
and the other about 3,000
yards to the south.
Before President John-
son halted the bombing of
North Vietnam on Novem-
ber 1, he warned that pro-
ductive peace talks could
not be conducted "in an at-
mosphere where the cities
are being shelled and the
Demilitarized Zone is
being abused.”
Nine days after the
bombing halt, on Sunday,
North Vietnamese gunners
in the DMZ shelled U. S.
Marine positions just south
of the buffer zone, killed
four leathernecks and
wounded 41.
U. S. Defense Secretary
Clark Clifford said Tues-
day the shellings Sunday
were considered "a matter
of seriousness” by the U.
S. government but that so
far they did not constitute
a pattern.
Other sources in Wash-
ington and Saigon said the
shellings appeared to be
provocations to test or pos-
sibly humiliate Washing-
ton.
Military spokesmen also
reported rocket, mortar
and recoilless rifle attacks
on four American bases in
South Vietnam’s Central
Highlands and on two pro-
vincial capitals to the east
and west of Saigon.

squelched by Mr. Voter.
Humphrey is chosen and
snuggles under the crown
offered by the scarlet-

as HHH is challenging Nix-
on, a new challenger
comes rushing in.
Wallace bellows. "Y o u

And Mr. Voter says,
"Well, for c r y 1 n' out

Patrol troopers were prob-
ing the wreckage for possi-
ble clues to the cause.
Johnson was a longtime
resident of Oklahoma City
and attended Central High
School.
His wife, Ruth, is active
in numerous Oklahoma
City clubs and has been a
leader in Girl Scout work
for many years.
A spokesman for Yoa-
kum Funeral Home in Pur-
cell said an ambulance
was sent to the site after
the crash was reported. He
said Johnson was pro-
nounced dead on arrival at
a Purcell hospital.
Arrangements for serv-
ices were pending.
Besides his wife, he is
survived by ihree daugh-
ters, Mrs. Richard V.
Smith of 1ho city; Judie, a
student at Oklahoma State
University, and Jill, a
John Marshall High School
student, and a son, Jerry,
who also is in the aircraft

The third man stayed in the)
background and whispered

clearly, police said.
Mrs. Carson told officers
she had worn the diamond
bracelet only a couple of
times and did not believej
anyone knew about it.
When the robbers fled.,
Carson was able to loosen
his bonds and free himself
and his wife, police said.
After the smoke clears.
LBJ sings a supercallifra-
gillistic kind of song about
"poverty and riot — is the
kinda rotten stuff that
presidential diet.”
Lyndon also tells lyrical-
ly about how a spoonful of
sugar helps the federal
medicine go down. And
Lady Bird clumps into
view- to announce, ‘Tve
gone all the way with
LBJ.”
The scene shifts to the
Miami convention, where
Nixon says upon his nomi-
nation. "This time, I won’t
get mad. I’ll be a nice
guy."
And Mr. Voter rasps, "If
he sold used cars, I still
wouldn't want to buy.”

Front and center is Ray
Dyer, equipped with the
inadequate bowler hat and
plaintive tenor voice so
well remembered from the
Wiekersham days. Ray
