Pink Williams drives new Ford as lieutenant governor in Oklahoma City
In Oklahoma City Lt Gov Pink Williams, acting governor while Gary is away, arrived in a new black Ford replacing his old pickup for Capitol duties. The legislature funded a Cadillac, but Williams chose a Ford for 2700 dollars. He prefers using the pickup for cargo and keeps plates reading lieutenant governor with No. 2. In Evanston Wyoming two San Diego youths pleaded innocent to first degree murder in the May 26 slaying of Larue W Howard, 42, a dining car employee en route to Omaha. Dale Swafford, 19, pleaded innocent by reason of insanity for the time of the crime and was ordered to a state hospital for 30 days observation. Tommy Grate, 16, pleaded innocent and is held without bail until District Court begins Oct 7. Howard disappeared while driving from Culpon, California to Omaha, and was found shot in a clump of trees near Sorehead, Enscar. Bwalford was arrested at Sillisaw, Iowa.
