Garter Rejects Murray's Letter in Oklahoma Row
Oklahoma City September 12. Governor William H Murray vows to challenge the state supreme court over salary cuts and court rulings. He threatens a constitutional amendment and possible National Guard action to enforce what he calls unconstitutional orders. Chief Justice Fletcher Riley says the governor’s threat is a bluff. Special justices are appointed as the court holds elected officers’ salaries cannot be changed mid tenure. Murray orders suits to vacate the ruling excluding the attorney general.
