Heavy western Oklahoma traffic is expected to be able to zoom to the Eufaula areaon high-speed, four lane I.H. 40 eventually. The first part of the 70-mile per hour freeway already is started. The reservoir will be principally in McIntosh, Haskell, Pittsburg and Okmilgee counties, but smaller areas will touch Muskogee and Latimer counties.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "City officials across Oklahoma are optimistic that 1971 will bring a new kind of assistance in solving the perennial urban dilemma of too little money to meet too many demans. They believe this will be the year Congress makes a start on some kind of program to share federal income tax revenue with local governments. "This (the cities) is where the big problems are," Clinton City Manager James Luckett said. City Manager Don Grimes of McAlester said he feels unified pressure by state, county and city governments for revenue sharing is so strong that the federal government won't be able to resist it. "I think it's going to be a 'must' for cities of all sizes," Woodward City Mananager Richard Crocker said. Oklahoma City Manager Robert H. Oldland called revenue sharing by the federal government "the most likely immediate solution" to urban financial problems.
