Thornton Claims Hatfield
'Passes The Buck' In Probe
SALEM (UPI) Gov. Mark Hat
field today was charged with
shirking his official responsibili
ties and "passing the buck" in
the reported missing property sit
uation at Camp Withycombe.
The charge came from Atty.
Gen. 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.
"Obviously they obtained all the
information and reported the facts
to him. Why does he need an
other secret investigation?"
A special board of inquiry to
look into the situation was named
by Hatfield and began its duties
Monday.
Buck Passing Charged
The attorney general said Hat
field was passing the buck to
others instead of standing on his
own feet and telling the people
tho facts.

erty if it was sold, who sold it
and what became of the money.
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.
