Two Actors Offer Help<br />

To Senate Candidates<br />

OKLAHOMA CITY—Two stars have offered<br />

to help in Oklahoma election campaigns.<br />

Roy Rogers has said he will come<br />

to Oklahoma to help the Rev. W. H. Alexander<br />

in his campaign for the Democratic nomination<br />

for U.S. senator. The pastor performed<br />

the ceremonies when Rogers and Dale<br />

Evans were married in Oklahoma in 1947.<br />

Shortly after this announcement, Senator<br />

Thomas disclosed Van Heflin had offered to<br />

visit Oklahoma in his behalf to win back the<br />

senate seat. Van's brother Marty is an old<br />

friend and former employe of Senator<br />

Thomas.<br />

In the Democratic race, that leaves Mike<br />

Monroney, now serving in Congress.<br />

Roadblocks Fail as Trap<br />

For Robber at Chickasha<br />

CmCKASHA, OKLA.—The highway patrol<br />

set up roadblocks surrounding this city to<br />

stop a man who robbed two theatres within<br />

a minute, but patrolmen failed to catch their<br />

quarry.<br />

Police said the rnan stuck up the Fix<br />

Theatre downtown and a few seconds later<br />

hijacked the Ritz Theatre a few doors away.<br />

He then drove away in a two-door sedan.<br />

Officers said the man was described as about<br />

25, five feet, eight inches tall and weighed<br />

about 165 pounds. The patrol reported the description<br />

is similar to that of a man who<br />

robbed the Mayflower in Oklahoma City of<br />

$125 the week before.<br />

It was not certain how much was taken<br />

at the two local theatres, although officials<br />

of the F>ix estimated their loss at only $22.<br />
