The boys were Jimmy, 5, and Billy, 4. The tragedy occurred when Crater's auto plunged into a Hood-filled valley on the county road at the edge of Blackwell known as the Blackwell-to-Ponca City shortcut.

Ike Remains Over 200 Reds ead in Battle Eisenhower remains in Sooners Solidly InHHH'sCamp OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma's delegation to the Democratic national convention which opens in Chicago next Monday, remains solidly behind Vice President Hubert Humphrey for the presidential nomination, a survey indicated today. Oklahoma has 58 delegates and only 41 votes, a fact which makes a fractional count inevitable.

The state delegation favors Humphrey by a 53-to-4 margin over Sen. Eugene McCarthy with one member undecided. Based on the 41 vote total, this gives Humphrey 37.5 votes, McCarthy 2.8 votes 'and leaves ,7 of one vote undecided. The delegation has the power to invoke the unit rule after it arrives at the convention. If the unit rule is adopted, all 41 votes will go for the candidate favored by the majority, which obviously would be Humphrey.
