May Impeach Haskell Threat Involving Oklahoma Officials
Guthrie Okla Feb 1 A resolution in the lower house by Representative Humphrey raises the possibility of impeaching Governor Charles N Haskell and other state officers. It calls for an investigation into the Columbia Bank and Trust Co which failed in Oklahoma City last fall leaving depositors over 1 000 000 and asks Attorney General West to present to the legislature matters he said were under grand jury review before the body was discharged by order of Governor Haskell. The resolution cites a letter West wrote at that time criticizing actions of state officials involved in the bank and says such charges could lead to impeachment or removal.
