Tulsa resumed a normal atmosphere
today, except for the presence under

Oklahoma national guardsmen.
The estimates of killed and wound
ed dwindled today. Nine white men
dead had been identified and Is ne

Basis for estimates that still ranged
as high as 40 negroes dead was pos
sibility of an unknown number of

were on the streets. From $3.50
