ACCUSATION
RETRACTED
BY GILL
Admits Charges Against
Board Of Affairs We're
CrOundIeSS.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 21.-That
charges Of irregularities brought
against Eugent Morris and Lon
Frame, members Of the state board
Of affairs, in an affidavit which he
filed with Governor Cruce, Monday
were entirely groundless and were
brought because of malice towards
Morris, was the substance of vol
untary admission made to Governor
Cruce Friday afternoon by Eugene
Gill in the presence Of both Morris
and Frame. Following his admis-
sion that the charges were not based
on facts. Governor cruce is said to
have delivered a scathing lecture to
Gil.
When asked in relation to the ru-
mored confession, Sunday, Governor
Cruce was reticent and referred the
matter to Morris OF Frame for CON
firmation.
Morris stated Sunday night that
Gil had called up the board of af-
fairs Friday and asked himself and
Frame to 60 before the governor
with him, as he had a statement to
make in relation to the charges he
had brought, and which were con-
tanned in the affidavit filed earlier
in the week. He had not talked to
Gill and did not know what the latter
intended saying, Morris said Sunday
night.
Upon their arrival at the COVER
nor's office Gill made an unqualified
retraction Of the charges, stating that
he had probed the matter further
himself since filing the affidavit, and
said that it is now his opinion that
both Morris and Frame have been
honest in their administration of the
business Of the board Of affairs.
Morris stated Sunday night that
the affair will be dropped insofar as
he is concerned, and that since Gill
has made his retraction before the
governor, no legal action will be tax
en-.
"The records of the board Of af-
fairs are always open for inspection"
he said, "and they are open for in
spection at any time anyone cares
to look them over. The firm Of Gill
and DUNCAN was treated in exactly
the same way as any other company
submitting a bid to the board, and
when everything else was equal, We
have even favored them. The board
has ordered state supplies from them
whenever their hid was lower than
that of any otter competitor

WILLING
TOCALL
Awaits Expression Of Leg
iSIatOrS as to an Extra
Session

Oklahoma City, Aug. 21.--While
Governor Lee Cruce is OPP
posed to the idea Of an extra session
of the legislature, ne will call the
special session if majority Of the
members desire and give sufficient
reasons why that body should con-
vene sometime during the coming
fail.
"One thing certain is that ! am
opposed to a special session for the
purpose Of redistricting the state"
said Governor Cruce Sunday night
an my opinion there is one and
only one argument to be used in fa-
vor Of gall being issued. The leg-
islature meets in regular session but
once in two years, end then for but
sixty days. There are more than $50
members and each one comes with
one or more bills affecting his par
ticular locality AS result much
time is taken up with purely local
bills, and not so much time devoted
to legislation Of statewide impor-
tance.
@Under the law, nothing can be
considered at a special session other
than specified by the governor in his
call, and by calling an extraordinary
session, several things which are Of
importance could be included, and
matters Of purely local import left
out In this way some good might
be accomplished"
While there has not been sufficient
time in which to receive replies to
the letters the governor addressed %
members Of the legislature. asking
their opinio to the wisdom Of a
call being issued, Governor Cruce re-
ceived many letters from others in
terested in special legislation asking
that an extraordinary session to be
held, and it was for this reason that
he determined to find out what the
members Of the body thought Of the
idea.
