State Says Receipts Altered (Continued from Page One) corder's office hadn't also been clerk of the municipal court. (Earlier testimony indicated Parke usually turned over daily police department receipts to the recorder. He was also clerk of municipal court.) PROCEDURES STUDIED . The state's case Wednesday dwelled at length on police de partment procedures for issuing receipts and handling money. (When a traffic offender post ed bail at the station, he was giv en a till receipt. The information on the daily till receipts was transferred by the police officer in charge to a daily cash bail form. When the department turn ed over daily receipts to the re corder's office, the cash bail form (or daily log) was used by the re corder's office to balance the daily turn-overs). In an attempt to prove its theory that Tarke altered till re ceipts, the state questioned a handwriting expert, Deputy Sher iff Claud Romaine. Romaine testified that a cer tain numerical entry ($1) on a till receipt corresponded with a numerical entry on a daily log and that the entries were in Parke's handwriting. SERGEANT TESTIFIES To link up this testimony, the state received testimony from Harold Cowles, Springfield police sergeant. ' Cowles stated that a certain till receipt he issued to a traffic violator last July now contained an entry that he (Cowles) did not make. The words "meter vio lation" on the receipt, Cowles said, were not written by him, Romaine said these two words were in Parke's handwriting. "I recall this particular trans action. The charge was for vio lation of the basic rule. The bail was $30," Cowles said. The sergeant said he recalled this particular receipt because the traffic violator a short time later committecd a felony and was sentenced to the pent tcntiary. RECORDER QUESTIONED Coupling the testimony of Cowles and Romaine, the state contended that Parke altered a basic rule receipt issued by Cowles by changing the charge to a meter violation. Another state witness, William E. Manscll, city recorder and treasurer, explained procedures )rnle rotations (P-tfcdge. I GIVE MY PLEDGE AS AN OREGON!

Under cross-examination, Man sell said he checked the depart' ment's daily cash turn-over by comparing the amount of the cash with the total amount listed on the daily log. The recorder said be did not refer to the in dividual till receipts while mak ing the daily turn-over. Mansell said' under the city's bookkeeping system a shortage could exist in police department receipts for a period of time without the recorder's office knowing it.

Bakeries Fined For Violations PORTLAND Wl A district judge fined managers of nine Portland bakeries $25 each Wed nesday on charges they sold un derweight bread loaves. The fines were suspended on motion of a deputy district attor ney, who said he was convinced the violations were not inten tional. He said the loaves were only a fraction under the mini mum legal weight of 22V4 ounces. Pinay in London LONDON W French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay arrived Thursday for consultations with British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan. He will be in London only 24 hours. Guard (Continued from Page One) phone and electrical offices and the hospital emergency ward. Members of the company also were detailed to assist the city police force. Similar activities were carried out by National Guard units in other communities. The nation wide test, titled "Operation Min uteman," was described as a break with mobilization practices of the recent past and a return to the earlier concept of the citizen-soldier who had to be ready to fight on a moment's notice. Within minutes after the alert was sounded, Air National Guard fighter-interceptor planes were in the air ready to meet enemy aircraft.-Army Guardsmen manned antiaircraft guns around many American cities. RAPID TURNOUT By 7 p.m., Eugene Company L reported a 100 per cent turnout of jts members. Company K had a 98 per cent turnout, and 96 per cent of the Cottage Grove guards men reported for duty. Members of the Eugene units came from points as far away as Florence and Oakridge. Members of the Cottage Grove unit include men from Medford, Grants Pass and Roseburg. The mobilization procedure even included arrangements for providing the guardsmen with emergency rations. The Eugene units provided coffee, sandwiches and sweet rolls for their mem bers. HOURLY REPORTS , The test mobilization brought out 94 per cent of Oregon's 6,500 National Guard members. State headquarters kept a running total of the number of men reporting for duty, with local units filing telegrams every hour to show the turnout. Eugene guardsmen put in some training time during the 4-hour alert in addition to manning the sentry posts. Classes were held in the Armory for men who were not on guard duty. Most of the members of the two companies spent time on the assignments at strategic points, with new men I going on duty at the posts every I hour. New Quake Hits Greece ATHENS, Greece IM A dis astrous new quake struck shat tered Volos Thursday, leveling many of the port city's remaining buildings. Five bodies were dug from the rubble and officials feared the death toll would run much higher. Police headquarters said wit nesses telephoned from the strick en area that nearly every build ing in the city of 51,000 persons, about 100 miles northwest of Athens, had been partially or completely destroyed by the lat est shock. The new tremors came as Volos inhabitants were struggling to re cover from a quake Tuesday which killed one person, injured 49 and damaged nearly 1,000 houses. Nearly 6,000 were left homeless by that upheaval. Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.Thur., Apr. 21, 1955 9A Underwater Surgery Saves Charlie (Picture, Page 1) PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. I It took an under water eye operation to save "Charlie" from being blind as a bat ray. Charlie, a bat ray by na ture and an actor by profes sion, was bumping into the sides of the big aquarium where he and a host of other finny denizens live. A doctor diagnosed his troubles as dam aged corneas. Since Charlie was a favorite with divers and spectators at the Marincland of the Pacific, a delicate corneal transplant was decided on to restore the 3-year-old, 50-pound bat ray's sight. Dr. H. George Blasdel, at tending eye surgeon at the Los Angeles General Hospital oste opathic unit, performed the operation yesterday in 22 feet of water. Dr. Blasdel thought Charlie would survive it better under normal pressure in his natural habitat Both the doctor and a diver who acted as his assistant wore diving masks during the 23 minute operation, in which a cornea from a "donor" bat ray was transplanted to Charlie's eye. The donor didn't volunteer. He was caught at sea, just as Charlie was originally. After the operation the don or fish was destroyed to pre vent it from suffering. Charlie, under only a local anesthetic, was released from his operat ing pallet and was soon swim ming friskily about. ' Another operation may be performed later to fix his other eye, which is failing.
