Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "I do not give a hoot who sits, stands, sleeps, eats, or sings on thye steps of the capitol, or even who takes up residence inside, if they feel it is more comfortable than their own homes and if they can get by with it. However, I do darn-well object to the flying of a non-American flag from the flagpole that is reserved speciffically for the beautiful Stars and Stripes. I don't know what the so-called "Black Liberation Flag" is and I don't really care, but it is not the flag of this country and has no business flying at our capitol. Since demonstrators were permitted to replace the American flag with a non-American flag, I would like to know if I will end up down at the police headquarters if I bring a flag of Confederacy down and fly it from the same pole - or am I to be discriminated against because of my color?"

The twister left nearly 30 blocks in shambles and the small fatality toll was attributed to a warning which drove hundreds of residents into their storm cellars. Officials estimated that the twister destroyed or damaged 75 percent of the business district and at least 100 homes. Another 200 to 300 homes recieved varying degrees of damage. The hard-hitting storm roared through Leedey in less than 10 minutes and then apparently disitegrated."
