Federal relief grants Oklahoma aid but not to cover overdrawn Murray checks
The federal relief administration allocated 301000 to Oklahoma for March and April, with 250000 for general relief and 51000 for emergency education. The grant will not cover about 75000 in checks allegedly drawn before relief oversight moved from Governor Murray. Senator Thomas cited a Burns wire detailing 1000 destitute people tied to those checks, but officials said the money must fund concurrent expenditures and assigns responsibility to Governor Murray. A German meat dealer was jailed for selling unreliable sausage, highlighting concerns over quality.
