The committee, appointed by the governor, has recommended that the Lukfata Dam not be built until the entire project can be restudied...Pitchett said the project is federally funded and all planning and approval goes through federal channels. He said there is a question about the governor being able to order a halt to the project without congrssional action."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Oklahoma has a pollution problem but what it is and what is needed to control it are not clear enough to keep a proposal for a new super pollution control agency from facing rough going in the next session of the legislature. A special committee of the Legislative Council, under Sen. Roy Boecher, posed the creation of the Oklahoma Environmenta Protection Commission to plan, supervise and enforce all anti-pollution programs in the state as well as planning the future of Oklahoma's environment. Under Boecher's plan the commission would have its own enforcement agents, in addition to those held by agencies concerned with a specific form of pollution, and would be able to direct the efforts of specific agencies when it did not feel that they were doing enough."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Job corpswoman Emma Wright, of Honolulu, Hawaii, examines her exhibit. No art work sold at the Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation Sunday but 300 young artists seemed to care less. After welcoming visitors, the artists, all Job Corps women from Guthrie, cautiously listened to comments on thier work and seemed to savor what they heard. Their eyes showed the exhibition was success. As with all artists, public appreciation gilded their satisfaction on a job well done. No Early Training Unlike most artists, they had little or no trainging and their motives were personal expression, said their arts and crafts director, Mona B. Dougherty. "These girls are learning things they can use the rest of their lives," she added. "What they learn can be put into designing blouses, color combinations in their home or simply what areas of fine arts they like most."
