Against Cut in National Guard in Arkansas
Lt. Col. Frank Angelo of the 875th Engineers Battalion will testify before a House Armed Services subcommittee in Washington against a proposed National Guard strength cut. He is to be joined by Rep. W. C. Gathings of Arkansas. The plan would eliminate the 875th Engineers, which includes 500+ men in Jonesboro and 135 in Stuttgart, drawing local protest from the Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce. Arkansas senators and the delegation oppose the reduction.

Close Oklahoma governor runoff near recount
Oklahoma City AP report on the Democratic runoff for governor where W P Bill Atkinson leads Raymond Gary by about 533 votes. Officials fear a recount could change the result, prompting patrols to guard 77 county offices and later National Guardsmen to relieve state troopers. Unofficial totals show Atkinson 292,028 to Gary 231,400. The winner faces Henry Bellmon in November. Bellmon won the GOP nomination May 1. Atkinson, 55, built homes in Midwest City and trailed by 95,000 in May. Gary might seek a recount if he remains behind. Gary aimed to be Oklahoma’s first two term governor.
