NONE TO HEAD
/ CUSTER COURT
! IN OKLAHOMA
Law Provides Supreme
Justice Preside; Court
Calls Move Illegal.
BY DON A. HIGGINS
United Press stan Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 49,
The prospect of a Court of I'M
parchment without a presiding Of
flcer added to Oklahoma's confused
political situation today as the
Senate met to hear charges of ir-
regularities in Office against three
State officials, including Governor
Henry S. Johnston.
The question of who would pre-
side over the impeachment court
arose yesterday when Chief Justice
Fred Branson, one of the trio of
accused officials, declined to serve.
He asserted the Self-convened SeS-
sion of the legislature was illegal
and that for him to preside would
be in violation of the law.
Who Will Preside?
The Senate met and conducted its
business in an orderly manner Ma
tional Guardsmen called out by
Governor Johnston, Monday morn
ing, to prevent the insurgent lower
House from considering impeach-
ment charges against him, lounged
about the building.
Members Of the. House of Repre-
sentatives, termed traitors by
Johnston, were not allowed within
the building.
Should all the Supreme Court
justices decline to preside at the
impeachment trial, a member Of the
Senate will be selected to preside
over the body, Senator Mac @. Will
hanson, president pro tempore, said.
The law provides, however, that a
justice must preside when the Sen
ate sits as an Impeachment court.
Avert Dual Government
Possibility of a dual government
in Oklahoma was averted when the
Senate voted not 20 suspend the
Governor, Branson and Harry B.
Cordell, president of the State
board Of agriculture, while charges
against them are being heard. This
action was on motion of Senator
Tom Anglin and was said to be in
direct violation of the State consti-
tuition.
Refusal Of the Senate to suspend
the Governor was a decided victory

to, meet in the State capital unmo-
Tested by his modified troops, but
warned that any attempt to GUST
him from Office would be met with
armed resistance.
