Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "In time of war, this would be your state capitol - if state civil defense plans jell. This is the floor plan of how the proposed underground cafeteria-auditorium to be constructed between the two new office buildings would be converted into an emeregency state capitol and Civil defense Operations center. The upper portion shows the cafeteria partitioned into state offices. The administrative center adjoins a message center and switchboard area would be kept in constant readiness, even during peacetime. The auditorium would convert to a conference or briefing room and the state CD operations center. A decontamination center is shown on the right. Tunnels leading to the other two buildings would become sleeping quarters. Blast-proof doors to the surface are located at the upper and lower portions of the drawing, prepared by Hudgins, Thompson, Bll & Associates; and Baily, Bozalis, dickinson and Roloff."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Rare picture of tornado in action was taken by 14-year-old Billy Males, one mile southeast of Cheyenne on May 4. Rep. Jodie Moad, Cheyenne, who turned the picture in for Billy, said the boy three blocks home to get his camera and snap the twister. Moad said the twister turned away, after heading toward Cheyenne, and only destroyed a hay-barn. This spectacular shot of a perfect funnel shows debris being tossed about 50 feet in the air alongside the swirling tip. Moad estimated height of the column at 175 yards. Billy wins this week's $5 for the best snap-shot by an amateur, and one of the best tornado shots even by the editors."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The conquest of space was a step nearer this week when the United States successfully tested its man-in-space capsule. The test paved the way for an astronaut to ride a space capsule to the fringe of space, possibly next month. It was the third straight successful test in the Project Mercury program to orbit a man-carrying satellite in space. if things continue to go well, that may come by the end of the year. But Russia, which launched the first satellite and scored another major breakthrough with its Venus shot, is likely to orbit man before we do."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Where was the first highway through present day Oklahoma? Research in the Oklahoma Highway Department by Roger M. Taylor, veteran highway department employe, indicates that the Grand Chemin de Sante Fe, that traversed the lands just north of the Red River, qualified as the oldest of the record. The route if that road thrived in the spectacular days of Spanish rule is shown below. Who blazed the route is unknown. It could have been either of the conquistadors Don Facunda Malgares or Don Del Castello along about 1650 when they spent several years on the western part of what is now Oklahoma. Then, too, it could have been a group of priests who detached themselves form Coronado's expedition in 1541 and led by Franciscan Father, Juan de Padilla, spread into the Wichita Indian domain to carry Christianity into the grass huts......It had a population of 3,000 persons, 10,000 horses and hundreds of carretas or wooden wheeled carts. The road was primarily used to haul gold and silver from Old Mexico by way of Santa Fe."
