OKLAHOMA'S POLITICAL
CHAOS is CONTINUED

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct 6
(By The Associated Press) okla
homas political chaos assumed fur
ther complications today as mem
bers of the state legislature prepared
for their second attempt to convene
in extraordinary session to consider
impeachment charges against Gov
ernor J. G. Walton.
With Legislators reported already
gathering for the assembly on Octo-
ber II, attention was focused on the
executive mansion with the expecta-
tion that Governor Walton would
define his attitude toward the meet
ing.
From we'll informed sources came
the report that Aldrich Blake, the
executive counsellor, would not con-
sent to use again of the militia to
halt the gathering, and some went
so far as to say that as a last resort
he would recommend that the COVER
nor call the legislature in n final
coup d'etat. What the executive
could hope to gain by such a stroke,
however, remained problematical.
Meanwhile a new element entered
the situation. A group of women an
nounced that they would join forces
with Governor Walton to prevent
the legislature from meeting under
constitutional amendment passed
in last Tuesdays election.
