Army's Threat
To Slop ROTC
Governor to Ask Emer
gency board to Con
sider Army's Position
By JAMES D. OLSON
Threat by the department sf
the army to withdraw EOTC
traininf at the University sf
Orefon and Orefoa State col
lets unless the- state of Oregon
famishes a bond to indemnity
the government from loss of
army equipment at the two
institutions will be presented
to the state emergency board
August 21 for consideration.
Governor Paul L. Patterson
so announced Monday at a
press conference after point
ing out that the subject was
not a new one .but had been
under consideration since a
meeting prior to the conven
ing of the 1953 legislature.
State Will Act
'There is no possibility that
the state will allov? the ROTC
units to be withdrawn from
the two institutions," Gover
nor Patterson said. "We will
take whatever steps are re-
uired at the proper time, but
certainly we will explore
every avenue before we agree
to pay out state money to in
surance companies for a
bond."
The governor said it was his
opinion that the state was cer
tainly as responsible as any
bonding company. On the
other hand, the requirement
for a bond for ROTC prop
erty is a part of the defense
act and therefore he had no
criticism of the army officials
for attemptnig to enforce the
requirement.

New earth tremors including

officials estimated the toll
from the week'a devastation at
some 600 dead and 700 seri

Fifteen new tremors

period last night and today.
They heightened the islanders'
near-panicky desire to flee

could make little difference
on the three islands, practi
cally leveled by the past
week of upheavals.
The new casualty estimates
came from the , Argostollon

ing the Greek rescue work.
Previously it was feared more
than 1,000 persons had been
killed.
The new figures were based
on complete reports from the

complete reports from the
other two stricken isles, Zak
lnthos and Kefallinla.
Three hundred of the badly
injured have been moved by
boat and plane to Athens. The
others have been hospitalized
