Episodes of early Oklahoma history begining with the Battle of Claremore Mound between the Osages and the Cherokees in 1818 will be given, the night performance under lights resounding to the plunking of horses hooves, the squeal of wagon wheels and the crack of the blacksnake whip.

Amendment 28 Is Rapped by Vesey Speaks Before Kiwanis Club; New Officers Are Elected The Hope Kiwanis club Tuesday elected new officers and heard an attack on proposed state amendment No.

28. by Representative John P. Vesey. In lashing out at the proposal, Mr. Vescy outlined what he said were three good reasons why the amendment should be defeated.

They are as follows: 1. The adoption of the amendment would make it constitutionally impossible to ever reduce the gasoline tax. 2. The amendment would make it impossible to reduce automobile and truck license fees. 3.

The amendment would give the slate authority to assume the bonded indebtedness of various real estate promotions which amounts to a large sum in the city of Little Rock. "Under this amendment our tax revenue would be turned over daily to out-of-state banking institutions. "The proposal even would give citizens the right to sue the state.

Beck Opposed Czech Crisis, Fearing Germany Unprepared BERLIN-(P)-Ludwig Beck, chief of the army general staff, resigned Monday and retired to private life be-' cause he could not see eye-to eye, with Adalf Hitler, A brief announcement said Hitler had accepted the resignation of General Beck along with that of Col. Gen.

Gerd von' Rundstedt, commander of Army Group No. 1. Although the announcement said both commanders were relieved at their "own desire," it was believed they were taking the consequences for not being in step with Nazi policios, General Beck, first chief of the army. General Staff in the nation's rejuvenated army forces, was said to have become increasingly in conflict. with Hitler efforts of Britain's Lord Runciman to mediate the Czechoslovak-Sudetenland dispute.

When it became clear that Hitler was determined to risk war to "liberate" Sudetenland, General Beck felt he could not take responsibility of mapping military plans for a Germany he considered inadequately prepared to meet a combined allied force. About that time General Beck was sent on a "special mission" to the Western front--across the county from Czechoslovakia--to inspect Germany's Siegfried line on the Rhine facing France's Maginot line. He continued to hold the title of chief of the General Staff, but Hitler was in active charge. Because of the crisis at that time, Hitler was suid to have felt it unwise to have any army shake-up. General Beck, as a disciplined soldier, realized he had underestimated German will to conquest and had overestimated the will of Britain and France to prevent further spread of German influence.

He chose retirement as did Rundstedt, apparently for much the swine reason. The army, however, is strong for both men. They were both given a boost. in rank, on retirement, to colonel-generaliships, which is next to a field marshal's rank. General Beck in addition was grunted permission to wear the uniform of the Fifth Artillery regiment.

Hitler wrote both retiring generals letters thanking them fervently for their past services. Cotton Cotton NEW ORLEANS (P) December cotton opened Tuesday at 8.67 and closed at 8.64. Spot cotton closed steady three points up, tniddling 8.74..
