Robert Y. Thornton. Hat field's Democratic opponent in the gubernatorial race this fall. 'In fairness to the hundreds of loyal guardsmen who are not in volved in this scandal and whose reputations and morale are suf fering, Hatfield should stop beat ing the bush," the attorney gen eral declared. Thornton explained the Oregon constitution makes the governor J commander in chief of the Na tional Guard and said the state police, who also are under the governor s jurisdiction, spent more than a month investigating the disappearance of property at the camp.

If heavy equipment also was in volved as is rumored, the loss is probably much greater than the $6,000 figure given," Thornton de clared. Hatfield's press aide, Travis Cross, called the Thornton state ment "an attack on the integrity of the jurors and the jury system which is basic in our form of gov ernment." The Camp Withycombe situation had been before the Clackamas County grand jury which refused to bring in an indictment. Cross said the governor's office will not be a party to casting a shadow of doubt upon their in tegrity." He said that this is not the first time that the attorney general had second guessed a jury's de cision nor is failure before a jury unknown to him. Without civil findings the gover nor directed military procedures be instituted, Cross explained. "If the attorney general has knowledge not available to the board of inquiry, let him come forward," Cross declared.

Anthony J. Celebrezze, secretary of health, education and welfare. ' said results of the Food and Drug Administration's pill-by-pill survey were "reassuring" so far. Celebrezze told his first news conference that 15,904 patients ap parently received Thalidomide from doctors in this country. About one out of every five or 3,272 were women of child bearing age and 207 were ex pectant mothers when they took the drug that has been blamed for deformities in Europe. "No abnormalities were ob served in the offspring of these patients," Celebrezze said in a statement. But he said the FDA had no information on how many of the women took the tranquilizer drug during the first three months of pregnancy generally regarded as the greatest period of danger. Many of the women, be said, were given Thalidomide in the later stages of pregnancy. The FDA said interviews have now been completed with 1,097 doctors of 1,248 reported involved in Thalidomide distribution in this country. A total of 74 doctors still had Thalidomide on hand when the survey was made but the supplies of 22,948 tablets have been de stroyed, impounded by local au thorities or collected as official samples. The remaining doctors who had the drug are on vacation but the survey is being completed as rapidly as possible, officials noted. - A state-by-state breakdown fur nished by the FDA indicated that the drug was used by 578 women of child-bearing age in California and 412 women in this category in Missouri. These two states ac counted for almost one third of the women in this age group who received the drug. Asked if the absence of child birth deformities was suprising in view of European experience, Cel ebrezze said, "we are pleased by it." But he cautioned that the inves tigation is not complete because some patients may have given the drug to their friends even though it is supposed to be used only by doctor's prescription. Alward Plunkeft Alward J. Plunkett, 71, a rcsi Hn' of Glendale. Calif., died sud- denly yesterday while vacationing amonu Lake.
