Rex Polone of Lawton Coop Services notes the local elevator has not yet received the federal alert. Since a December 1976 dust explosion, it has added equipment to remove dust and segregate it for disposal, surpassing OSHA basics. Federal officials warn that inspectors are few and blame lies with employers to ensure safety. The alert covers health hazards from grain dust and fumigants, plus reliance on high-risk facility oversight.

Delegation Sees Cautious Hope in County Aid Proposals
Oklahoma lawmakers voiced cautious optimism over Gov. Boren's plan to divvy 900000 among 77 counties and Speaker Willis suggested a county based one cent sales tax. Senator Terrill warned the measure could erode state control and proposed an ad valorem millage rise by county vote. He urged a constitution amendment to let counties pursue local funding while noting the plan may only be a token gesture with overtones of broader state control. The group emphasized need for a lasting county finance solution and discussed alternatives including county elections to raise millage. See VOICES. Page 4A.
