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

for accepting daily police de
partment receipts.
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.

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.

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.
