could be any closer would be
for it to end in a tie.
The unofficial count Sunday,
with 73.3 per cent of the
delegates counted, showed 1,111
delegates committed to Harris
and 1,110 committed to Carter.
That gave Harris 19.89 per cent
of the delegates counted and
Carter 19.87 per cent.
Harris and Carter supporters
both were pleased with the
results of Oklahoma’s Demo
cratic precinct caucuses.
Harris, who flew to Oklahoma
to the black community of West Palm Beach; he is
flanked by Boone Darden Chief of Police of Riviera Beach
(left) and Percy Lee of the local Urban League. (UPI)
City Sunday, told cheering
supporters at his state head
quarters he fought on the issues
and won against “the South’s
most powerful conservative
politican in Oklahoma, a
conservative state.”
He said his campaign was
based on “unfair taxes, unfair
prices and unnecessary unem
ployment.”
Harris said there were many
uncommitted delegates who
supported him, but did not vote
for him because they did not
know if he could win.
Jody Powell, Carter’s nation
al press secretary, said Car
ter’s workers considered it a
success to run that close to
Harris. He said no candidate
should be claiming a victory
before more precincts were
reported.
Carter never had a large paid
staff in Oklahoma and spent
about $25,000 in the state,
Powell said.
“It’s been a homegrown
Oklahoma volunteer effort,” he
said. “We’re extremely happy.
If we can do it here we can do
it anywhere.”
Gov. David Boren also was
pleased, because more than
one-third of the delegates
headed for the county conven
tions are uncommitted to any
candidate. The governor, who
had urged all Oklahoma Demo
crats to remain uncommitted
throughout the process of
selecting delegates to the
national convention in New
York, was elected in his home
precinct as an uncommitted
delegate to the Seminole County
convention.
State Democratic party Ex
ecutive Director Bill Crain said
the latest count showed 35.4 per
cent of the delegates are

uncommitted.
Sen. Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr., D-
Tex., who campaigned heavily
in the state, ran a distant third
among the four major presiden
tial candidates vying for
delegates in Saturday’s caucu
ses. Alabama Gov. George
Wallace, whose supporters
made a last minute campaign
ing effort, was fourth.
“In light of the outcome in
Oklahoma I am taking a close
look at my plans, talking to
supporters in Texas and across
the country,” Bentsen said
Sunday at Lake Jackson, Tex.
“I’ll have a statement after I
can evaluate the situation.”
There had been speculation
Bentsen might drop out of the
presidential race if he failed to
do well in the Oklahoma
caucuses.
The state party’s figures
showed Bentsen with 669
delegates, or 11.97 per cent, and
Wallace with 644 delegates, or
11.88 per cent. The combined
total for other candidates,
including Hubert Humphrey,
Sargent Shriver, Morris Udall,
Birch Bayh and Edmund
Muskie, was 61 delegates or
1.09 per cent.
The two leading candidates
announced conflicting figures.
Harris said his figures showed
he was ahead and Powell said
his figures showed Carter in the
lead.
Harris said tabulations by his
supporters showed he had won
the most delegates. Figures
released by his staff showed
with 59.5 per cent of the
delegates counted Harris had 21
per cent, Carter 19.7 per cent,
Bentsen 11 per cent, Wallace
10.7 per cent and uncommitted
36.7 per cent.
MADRID, Spain (UPI) -
Four young Basque separatists
shot and killed the 64-year-old
mayor of a northern Spanish
town today in a shift of
autonomist agitation from
Spain’s northeast region of
Catalonia to the Basque coun
try.
Today’s Basque country
shootout that also wounded two
policemen near Bilbao followed
a giant demonstration Sunday
in downtown Barcelona. Run
ning clashes between riot police
and an estimated 25,000 Cata
lans demanding autonomy for
their region paralyzed the
center of the city of two million
for four hours.
While the regional problems
for the new monarchy of Juan
Carlos escalated, the govern
ment moved to ease serious
economic difficulties. It deva
lued the peseta by 10 per cent,
a bonus for the millions of
foreign tourists who visit Spain
yearly.
The rising cost of living has
been the major source of
discontent for hundreds of
thousands of Spanish workers
who have gone out on strike in
a regionally rotating pattern
since Jan. 5.

Brown must pay
MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — Aaron Brown, a former
University of Minnesota and professional football player,
must pay a former airport baggage boy $6,000, according
to a ruling by Hennepin County District Judge Allen
Oleisky.
Lawrence Hellendrung, who worked at Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, charged that Brown assaulted
him at the airport in April, 1970.
He said Brown took his bag from the baggage area
without presenting a check. Hellendrung followed Brown
outside, asked him to show the check and grabbed at the
bag.
Brown testified he hit Hellendrung in reaction when the
youth’s grab at the case caused a ring on his left hand to
cut his finger.
Miss Chinatown
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Linda Sue Chun, a 22-year
old University of Hawaii graduate from Honolulu, is Miss
Chinatown U.S.A. for 1976.
Linda Sue was chosen at the weekend in a contest with
15 other young women from Chinese communities
throughout the United States.
Presidential hope
LANTANA, Fla. (UPI) — The National Inquirer says a
number of Republican senators urged comedian Bob Hope
to run in the 1968 presidential race and he seriously
considered the idea before rejecting it.
The weekly tabloid reported Sunday the suggestion
came after a Seattle radio station polled its listeners on
their choice for president in 1967 and Hope topped all other
choices.
“While Lyndon Johnson was President, I was
approached by a group of U.S. senators and asked if I’d
run for president,” Hope told the newspaper in an
interview published in its Feb. 17 edition.
“I told them they were out of their minds, but I was
extremely flattered by the offer they had made and for
several months I considered the possibility,” he said.
Hope was ineligible anyway. He told the senators he was
bom in England of British parents. The Constitution limits
the presidency to native-born Americans.
Hopcraft picked
CLEVELAND (UPI) — Thomas Vail, editor-publisher
of The Plain Dealer, has appointed David Hopcraft
managing editor of Ohio’s largest newspaper, replacing
Robert Burdock.
In other promotions announced Sunday, John Clark
became dty editor, replacing Hopcraft, and David
Molyneaux was named day city editor, replacing Clark.
Hopcraft, 31, of Mentor, Ohio, served as dty editor for
the past year. Before that he was state editor, politics
writer and chief of the Columbus bureau.
Richardson warns
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Commerce Secretary Elliot
Richardson has called the recent drop in unemployment
encouraging but warned it probably would not be main
tained in coming months.
Richardson, in an interview on CBS-TV’s “Face the
Nation” Sunday, said the half per cent decline in January
“seems to reinforce the judgment that the
administration’s management of the economy, looking
both toward containing inflation and reducing
unemployment, is on the right trade.”
Man killed
in argument
ROME, Ga. (UPI) — A 50-
year-old Rome man was killed
early Sunday in a domestic
disturbance at the home of his
estranged wife, police said.
Authorities said Charles
Causey went to the home of
Imogene Causey and stabbed
Carlton Shannon, 45, in the leg.
Police said Mrs. Causey shot
her husband four times when
he approached her. She was
held for several hours but
released pending further inves
tigation.
Causey was pronounced dead
at the scene. Shannon was
taken to a local hospital.
