Fire Halts Printing Of Sunday Tulsa World

A major electrical fire early Sunday morning halted production of the Sunday Tulsa World.
More than 60,000 complete Sunday Tulsa Worlds were produced and delivered to outlying portions of the newspaper's circulation area.

The remaining customers are being delivered two Classified sections, the TV World and advertising inserts.

Tulsa World Publisher Robert E. Lorton III said electrical repairs were being made. Plans are being made to deliver the main sections of the Sunday Tulsa World with the Monday Tulsa World.

"The electrical fire in the newspaper's downtown pressroom thankfully did not injure any of our press personnel. We are working as fast as we can to make the necessary repairs to publish the Sunday newspaper and get it delivered to our customers," Lorton said.
