Police Action Warrant Due in Break-In School Board Votes To Permit Transfers Perils Officers THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN 2 Tua.day, July 4, 1972 Tax Holdouts Slowing U.S. Plane Travel Continued From Page One been the result of inclement weather, which presumably would keep some motorists at home and slow others down. The officers involved said the strike began last Continued From Pngo One ing him. They said she knew her husband's whereabouts but would not divulge them. They said Mrs.

Hunt had returned to her job at the Spanish embassy on June 2G, and not on June 20 as The New York Times reported on Sunday. Embassy officials said Sunday she had returned ahead of time from a European vacation because of bad weather in Europe. But her friends said Monday that another reason for her early return was the need to look after her two children after Hunt telephoned her in Europe that he was leaving the Washington area for a time because of harassment to which he was being subjected when his name was linked with the raid. Mrs: Hunt is not believed to have seen her husband since her return. Her friends said Mrs.

Hunt's employment at the Spanish embassy was formally terminated Monday because of the publicity surrounding her husband. According to government officials, when the FBI interviewed Hunt, it was "early in the game" and they did not realize the Importance of the Information the Justice Department now believes he may have to offer. The director of the FBI, L. Patrick Gray, declined in a telephone interview to comment on the progress of the bureau's investigation of the June 17 break-in at the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate office building. He said, however, that the bureau's Investigation was being conducted on "a 24-hour basis" and that it was being treated as "a major special case." Gray did confirm that the FBI investigation has been wide-ranging.

Government sources reported that bureau agents had interviewed some people in the White House, including Charles W. Colson, special counsel to the President. Colson recommended Hunt, who retired from the CIA in 1970, as a part-time consultant for the White House in 1971. According to an administration spokesman, Hunt ended his consultative work for the White House in which he had an office on March 29. However, officials of the Spanish embassy have said that Mrs.

Hunt had told them as late as the. latter part of May IJiat her husband was still working for the Whito House. In the meantime, Lawrence O'Brien, chairman of the Democrat Ic National Committee, said he had sent President Nixon a second telegram urging the appointment of a special prosecutor for the case. In San Clemente, where Nixon is taking a working vacation, Ronald 2 I 1 the president's press secretary, said the President had rejected O'Brien's suggestion. He said Nixon is confident that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies would conduct a thorough investigation.

Hunt, who played a key role in organizing the CIA's abortive Bay of Pigs lnvastion of Cuba in 1961, was linked to the Watergate raid after the police found his name and home telephone number in the address books of two of the alleged raiders, both or them Cuban-born, when the group was arrested at the Democratic offices. All five persons arrested at the Watergate had ties with Hunt during, the Bay of Pigs operation, Continued From Pago One schcTN. in Luther, Edmond and Guthrie. She said Oklahoma City school board members promised the parents of these students that they could continue to attend those schools. Until now, she said, the board had held to that earlier promise.

Her son has been enrolled in Guthrie schools for five years. He has been allowed to transfer out of the city school district each year without any problems, she said. s. Westermier appeared at Monday's board meeting and told board members: "We feel like they should have this rural environment. Some of the parents out there have transferred their children as long as 15 years.

"This is not white flight. This area (Guthrie) has a hicih colored makeup, White flight is a misused term. It's worn out. We're rural people and we want to send our children to a rural Several other Arcadia residents were present at the board meeting. Board members earlier had agreed to hold a special meeting on the transfer question.

Because of a board policy that no speakers will be heard at the first regular meeting of the month, the board called a special meeting at the conclusion of the regular meeting so the Arcadia residents could speak. Most stated that they preferred the rural environment in the smaller school districts and stated, as reasons for seeking transfers, that the smaller schools offer vocational agriculture courses that are not offered in Star-Spencer High School or Rogers Middle School, whore their children have been assigned next year. One woman, Mrs. Martha Greenfield, said her daughter will be an 11th grader at Luther High School this year, and she fears the girl will lose interest in school if she is required to attend a larger Oklahoma City school. Others said the schools in Luther are only about five miles from their homes whereas Star-Spencer and Rogers are more than 20 miles away.

Support for the Arcadia residents was led by board members Joe Coleman and Mrs. Yvonne York. Coleman told the board a policy should not be inflexible. Mrs. York told the board to "get off the fence" and approve the transfers if that would be all that is necessary to settle the question.

Coleman made a motion that the board approve transfers for the 240 students who attended schools outside the city district on transfers last year. That motion was amended by Board President Foster Estes to include 146 other students who have made new transfer applications. The amendment drew a warning from English. He said the board would be opening the door to a flood of transfer requests, "That's onl' 146 new transfer applicants." he said. "But what happens next year when 546 apply, or I think I know which way the die is cast, and I think we're going to rue this day." He said he sympathizes with the Arcadia residents, but he said the transfers, especially the new ones, should not be granted.

Moon agreed. "I just want us to ask. are we doing what's best for the Oklahoma City schools?" Moon asked. "Obviously not," Mrs. York replied, "or people wouldn't want to get out." It was at this point that Harry Johnson, school board attorney, said he questioned the legality of the board's transfer authorizations.

He said school laws provide for a district court hearing for school patrons seeking to transfer. The Arcadia patrons took their case to district court and lost, he said. The law also states that the district court decision shall be final. All transfers out of the district must be approved by May 15 of each year, Johnson said. That deadline has passed, and the only other way students would be allowed to leave the district would be to receive emergency trans-fers.

Johnson said he does not believe any of the Arcadia patrons have valid reasons for being given emergency transfers. The board approved the transfers anyway, and Johnson said it would now be up to the county superintendent to determine if the transfers can be granted legally. Judge Won't Restore Votes Friday, in protest of inaction by the City Council in regard to a proposed sales tax increase. Police are to meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday to determine their course for the future.

Koss said other daiiy ticket comparisons will be made, and possibly the number of tickets written by individual officers may come under scrutiny. He said he hopes the issue is not "blown out of proportion" before it is officially determined whether a ticket strike is in progress. "I would hope the officers aren't involved in anything like this," Ross said. "I frankly think it hurts their cause more than it helps it." "I would hope they would go out and do their job so darned well that you can't deny them a raise," he said. "By doing a job and then making a request, they would be on much firmer ground." He said a ticket strike could cost police officers some public support and lessen the chances voters would approve a sales tax increase.

Ross said he believes it would be a shame for the whole department to suffer if only a few officers are involved in a strike. Tot's Death Joy Killing? Continued From Page One and its occupants.

"One airline reported that none of their planes were getting out on time. "Another carrier told me that their planes were being ccmiitctttiy delayed by reason of the head tax collection and refusal processes, from 20 minutes to an hour and 25 minutes. "Thousands of people refused to pay the tax, upon which refusal most carriers asked the passenger tof ill out and sign a special form. "When one person in the Una started to fill out a form, the domino theory took effect and the rest ol the line refused and went through the time-consuming procedure of completing the form." Airline representatives said they are prohibited by law from refusing tickets to persons who paid the published fare, regardless of payment of the S2 tax. Philadelphia city officials said steps would be taken to collect the delinquent taxes.

But airline representatives said some passengers even refused to give their names on the tax-denial forms and thus could not be traced. The city has proposed also to fine the airlines S10O to 5300 for failure to collect the tax. "Unless Congress acts to preempt this field to the federal government the new collections are only the beginning of a terribly unjust burden on airline passengers all over the country," said Stuart G. Tipton, ATA president. Philadelphia city officials said Monday they would make it clear to passengers that stiff fines and penalties await those who refuse to pay.

City Finance Director Lennox L. Moak said passengers refusing to pay the tax- will be told they are subject to fines of not less than $100 and not more than S300 and imprisonment of not less than 30 days nor more than 90. Moak said, the city will track down and prosecute anyone who refuses to pay. The airlines, who are fighting the new levy in court, are not now held responsible for collecting the fee. But Moak said Monday that some airlines personnel were trying to sabotage the tax by telling passengers they did not have to pay.

He said some center-city ticket agencies also are "encouraging people not to pay the tax" by telling them it could be paid at the airport. The tax should be paid at the point where the ticket is purchased. Moak said. The city hopes to collect nearly $15 million annually from the levy for its general fund.

H. JJJJJ, GARLAND NURSiRY FURTHER REDUCTIONS Bernard's Famous Brand Shoes NOW INCLUDED Entire Stock of White Shoes A spokesman for Fischer said the chess giant thought the offer "stupendous" and elected to take the latter option, which would split Slater's money by the same percentage as the original purse. This would give the winner $156,000 instead of $78,125, and the loser $104,000 instead of $46,875, the spokesman for Fischer said. The two players also are to receive 30 per cent each of the income from television and photographic rights. The Russians, from Spassky here in Iceland to the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow, protested the fact that the World Chess Federation FIDE granted a postponement When Slater offered to put up his own money as an extra inducement to the American grandmaster, he stated: "Fischer has said that money is the problem.

Here it is. What I am saying to Fischer now is 'come out and Marshall claimed that the issue with Fischer never had been money. "It was the principle," Marshall said. "He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved. And he was furious about the press censorship.

He was flying around the room." Marshall said Fischer told him: "They're trying to stop America from reading about it! That's what they've done all along." The sponsors announced restrictions in move-by-move and photo coverage of the 24-game match because the rights had been sold. Slater made his offer after the Icelandic Chess Federation's board rejected Fischer's demands for 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would have amounted to considerable sums for both Fischer and Spassky because the match could last as long as two months. The London investment banker said he made his offer through Dr. Max Euwe, president of FIDE, explaining: "I like chess and have played it for years.
