The request, according to City Manager Oren L. King, was turn ed over to the council committee on finance and parks. The delega tion was assured, he said, that cleanup would continue by the city and that the whole matter would be carefully considered. The bonds were approved by Eu gene voters several years ago but have never been sold. Originally they were to go with a sum of ap proximately $2-1,000 donated by Oregon students alumni and towns people to renovate the race, par tially destroyed by a flood just aft er the war. King told the senate early this year that the funds donated had been sufficient to repair the race at that time and as a result the bonds while still on the books - have never been sold.

His research is centered on French developments since 1918.

He was retained by the United States department of state | as a specialist on France in 1911 and from 1945 to 1947 he was vice consul and third secretary of the | American embassy in Paris with special duties as a political an alyst. In 1911 Wright won the Euro pean History award of the Pacific branch of the American Historical | association for a study of Poin care and the French presidency. The two strongest earth shocks recorded since the use of-seismo graphs for measuring them be- | came general about 50 years ago ] were the Assam-Tibet earthquake of August 15, 1950, and the Colom bia temblor of 1906. ■ ..1 This Week at Oregon MOVIES - Tonight in Chapman EDUCATIONAL FILMS.
