'Oklahoma Guardsmen| | Leave Handful of Officers at Dam Sife Construction Men Giving “Splendid’ Co-operation, State Aide Says By the Associsted Press. DISNEY, Okla., March 14.—Pifty- seven Oklahoma National Guards- men reached the Grand River Dam site today, then turned around and went back to their mobilization point at Wagoner, leaving & handful of officers to carry on Gov. Leon C. Phillips’ “State’s rights war.” After a conference with I. N. Towne, construction superintendent, Adjt. Gen. Louis A, Ledbetter said it would not be necessary for the troops to remain at the dam site because “we are getting splendid co- operation from all officials here.” Maj. H. B. Parris, commander of the Guard company, arrived at the site of the $20,000000 power and flood control project last night. He ordered Mr. Towne to stop all con- struction which would cause water of the river to back up in the Treservoir, $850,000 Sought. Gov. Phillips declared martial law to prevent completion of the dam before the Public Works Administra- tion pays the State’s $850,000 claim for damages to bridges and roads. At present, water is flowing under two arches of the mile-long struc- ture through temporary openings 60 feet wide. Only one arch, No. 6, remains to be completed. Asked if construction would be permitted to continue on arch No. 6 as long as water flowed through the other arches, Gen. Ledbetter said that was a matter to be decided by Col. Philip S. Donnell, Oklahoma ffl and M. College dean of engineer- g. “Donnell will ,have technical di- rection of the dam and will be in charge until martial law is lifted,” he said. Gov. Phillips delivered a scathing attack against the P. W. A. yester- dl “This action might not have been necessary if they hadn't broken their word by starting the last arch,” he commented. “I am going to keep the guards there until I know I am safe.. When I know I'm safe I'll pull them out.” Gov, Phillips, a staunch advocate of State’s rights, also planned a State court fight to prevent closing the gates and flooding the 52,000- acre reservoir. He ordered Attorney General Mac Q. Willlamson to seek an injunction. Carmody Is Silent. Federal Works Administrator Car- mody remained silent on Gov. Phil- lips’ declaration of martial law, in- dicating the agency would stand, for the present, on recent letters to the Governor’s suggesting that the matter be settled in court. This the red-haired Governor adamantly has retused to do. m(}ov Phillips "::urud in issuing|. order for troops, that he doubfed”‘whether the ] 'n being & sucker and letting the State get & judgment it can collect in 1982, or getting it now,” The P. W. A. granted the Dam Authority, & lfi:e agency, $9,000,000 outright and purchased $11,000,000 worth of its bonds.

Phillips, shown here, yesterday ordered two units of Nae tional Guardsmen mobilized in his fight over funds with the P.W. A full military alliance, authoritative foreign office circles said today. They asserted it was the British government’s view that Russia and Germany are not military allies now nor do they believe Russian aid to Germany will extend beyond the economic sphere. Since intervention in Finland by the allies first was discussed it was the belief in some informed quarters that intervention on a large scale would result in & Russian-German military alliance. Now that peace has come to the North it is widely held here that Russia may become isolatignist for the time being. It is argued she lost heavily in men and supplies and will want to consolidate her gains before considering any further ad- ventures abroad. Sources holding this interpreta- tion of the peace sald Russia would continue to supply Germany with ofl and wheat but on a greatly reduced scafe due to war losses. 8o far as Germany'’s ald to Russia in the war with Pinland was con- cerned, this was regarded as indi- rect, the British government being —A.
