OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. H.
Cut of the chaos enveloping the
Oklahoma political situation, an ap.
parently authentic Indication Of the
next few days events came today.

and other attorneys, in Armstrong;
office.
The first concrete result was the
governors order today that the
National Guard patrol be removed
from the senate chamber at the
capitol. permitting the senate to
meet there later in the day. The
guard continued to bar admission of
house members to their chamber in
the other wing.
Authorized spokesmen for both
sides in the controversy agreed to.

would take course as follows:
The senate, probably by tonight.
will receive from the house board OF
managers, the formal impeachment
charges against Governor Johnston,
Chief Justice Fred T. Branson and
President Harry b. Cordell of the
State board of agriculture.
The senate then will decide
whether to suspend Governor john
ston, pending his trial and declare
Lieutenant Governor William J..
Holloway acting governor.
IL Johnston is suspended and
Holloway attempts to take posses.
sion of the executive offices, he will
find the National Guard barring the
way and Johnston still contending
the legislature is in illegal session
because self-convened.
Thus an impasse will have been
reached and it is the hope of the
sober leaders on both sides that n
truce will then be possible until the
United states Supreme Court or a
special State supreme court. APP

Recent Discovery of Skeleton in

Controversy.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ROMMILY-SUR-S SEINE, France
Discovery in the cellar of the Chateau
of Scellieres of a skeleton partially
buried in quicklime has reopened a
136-year old controversy as to whether
the bones of Voltaire really lie in the
Pantheon in Paris.
The skeleton, said to resemble
strongly the form of the philosopher,
has revoked the old story that Vol.
taire's nephew, Able Mignot, caused
his body to be buried under the Abbey
of Scellieres, then occupying the site
of the chateau. He did this, the story
goes, because his uncle had been
denied burial in sacred soil. Accord.
ing to this theory the body living in
the Pantheon is that of an old
gardener.
Although the Voltaire remains i'm
the Pantheon We're carefully examined
30 years ago and found TO be genuine,
doubters are demanding a new eX-
humatiOn to settle finally the century.
old question. This is now possible.
they maintain, because the skulls Of
Scellieres and of the Pantheon can be
directly compared.
