[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5411]

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Here's an idea of how the Oklahoma capitol will look if the legislature builds on to it as Lt. Gov. James E Berry advocates. A Times artist has sketched in a 16-story building which Berry suggests. The house is considering whether to appoint a 10-man committee to study the proposal. The senate already has approved the committee appointment. The added space would be used for offices. The state is paying $18,000 a month rent for office space outside the capitol. (T-8-14-64: A skyscraper dome was suggested in 1953. A Times artist drew in this 16-story tower to show what it would look like.)"

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.0671]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "It's not competition, just wanting the folks to know that the Oklahoma National Guard is back in the same old prewar stand - almost - that caused this big sign to go up, according to Brig. Gen. Roy W. Kenny, adjuant general. What with a new naval armory starting construction nearby and having regained use of about three-fourths of the state armory from the state highway patrol, which moved into it when the 45th division went off to war, the military department though it time to advertise a bit. The legislature overlooked putting the patrol in a new home lasst session, so the answer of the "tenant" is "yeah, we'll move - but WHERE?"
