OPEN FIGHT TO
GUST GOVERNOR
OF OKLAHOMA
Legislature ConveneS; Plans
Full Probe of Record
of Executive.
BY DON A. HIGGINS
United Press stan Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. g.
Governor Henry S. Johnston fought
a losing battle against impeachment
today as the twelfth session Of the
Oklahoma legislature convened, bent
on investigating the Governors
Office from top to bottom"
The session opens with the house
organization controlled by insurgent
legislators, the senate apparently
anti Johnston and the political
fate of the Governor about to be
delivered into the hands of his
enemies.
Shear House Speaker
It was forecast that only unto
ward developments can prevent in
veStigation and impeachment of the
Governor by opponents who a year
ago fought his unsuccessfully.
Forty-seven Republicans of the
house are pledged by caucus to sup
port the administration house
members in a demand for a COM
nnittee- on committees. shearing AL
len Street, conservative speaker
elect of his appointiye power.
This committee, slated to be COM
posed of irreconciliables, will name
the investigating committee as Wen
as all other committees.
The strategy insures the taking
up Of the impeachment battle in
the house during the first weeks OF
the session and threatens impeach-
ment of the Governor within thirty
days.
Should impeachment articles be
moved out of the house, sympathetic
power in the senate bids fair to
complete the revolt.
Fiyht Woman'S Power
If these forecasts hold. defeat will
mark the end of one of the most
stormy gubernatorial terms in Okla
homa history and turn from office
the states first woman political
general.
1t would remove with the Cover
nor his confidential secretary, Mrs.
@. o. Hammonds, one of the DOM
inant figures in the administration
whose advisory activities first
aroused legislative enemies. Insur-
gents charged she dictated appoint
nents and decisions in the Gov
errors office and proceeded TO build
around her the fire of rebellion.
The administration labels the re-
volt a political move. Insurgents
said conditions of state government
prove their point.
