Mrs. Tom Carson Phone 774-7482 Hall, Hamilton and Willis Make Spending Deal By Ben Blackstock 1474 The Big Three tat down to coffee in the executive suite the other day. When the meeting broke up, a general agreement had been reached which may well enable the 1974 legislature to write the most spectacular program in many years.

Gov David Hall was still unhappy about a few minor points but it was obvious he was going to get within million of his $7 in new spending. Speaker Bill Willis, who shares Hall's enthusiasm for edu- cation, was happy. Senate Leader Jim Hamilton was less than had to yield on $5 -million of the t22.9-million second year revenue sharing money that he did not want to touch. To write a large program, yet leave most revenue sharing dollars untouched, the Big Three agreed to take a M-million surplus from the State Insurance Fund, vitalize nearly $19- milliofi in Higher Education Hero bonds and use SS-fntUion from second year revenue sharing. If the agreement holds together, here are some of the results we can expect' 1 EDUCATION Higher education would receive a $14 3 -million increase but the big spending would go for a $700 public school teacher pay raise, bringing Oklahoma near the regional average for the first time since the Gary administration.

Also on tap are big increases for special education, prescriptive education, and free textbooks. Junior colleges would get nearly $7-million of the Hero Bond funds. PENAL REFORMS Not only is a budget of more than $ll-million on tap for the penal system, $5-mtllion in revenue sharing would be earmarked for capital improvements in the system. Willis also wants $l-million for a centrally located diagnostic center. Add to this the submission of a constitutional amendment for a full-time professional parole board, taking the governor out of the parole system, and we have hopes of cleaning up our penal system in Oklahoma.

GENERAL GOVERNMENT State employees are promised needed pay raises and a more realistic car allowance. Public and mental health will be funded at an all-time high level. Most surprisingly, usually the Golden Issue of every well end up with $1- million less than last year. Still, the popular death trap elimination program will move full steam ahead. Will the agreement come unglued? Sen.

Gene Stipe threatens a lawsuit over the $4-million surplus from the Insurance Fund. Even if he does and is successful, the money could be covered next January by second year federal revenue sharing funds which would then be on hand. The irony of the settlement is that the State Supreme Court, by unanimous opinion, said the second year FRS funds is legally available for appropriation. But the Senate prefers to use Hero bond funds which ultimately will cost the taxpayers $20-million in interest. Hall and Willis could care less where the money comes from.

They've won the game and they are happy.

"A tornado struck them!" The front porch was pulled loose from the house and was ready to tumble to the ground. Where the porch was pulled from the roof, there was a hole in the front of the building. It seems it was just a case of grandchildren. While playing in the yard, the youngsters had tied a rope around a support post. The trouble was.

the other end of the rope was securely fastened to the Alderson pick vi p. Otto and the hoys 'were getting ready to go fishing and when he started up with the truck, the porch came down.
