Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The phone rings seldom now. The typewriters are deserted. The Senator is gone. The desk of the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr still has the last papers he workeed on lying on the desk's top. The conference table is covered with missile models and pictures of the senator's family. It was seldom used anyway because Kerr usually held conferences with staff members on the run.
