Page 8, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Mini-College Sept. State denies anv nionni infections I I I II Officials of the State Exe cutive Department and the State Department of Agricul ture last week denied in a joint statement any knowledge of illegal activities within the grain inspection services of the State of Oregon. On August 3, wire service news reports out of Washing ton, D.C., and Sacramento, CA, told of federal investi gators finding evidence of gratuities given and other improprieties involving government-licensed grain in spectors in seven states, in cluding Oregon. Stafford Hansell, director of Teacher returns Ola Mae Groshens did not expect to be away nearly three months when she left here June 3 to do some family visiting. Her husband brought her home from Portland last Saturday and she is resuming her piano teaching schedule. . Ola Mae declares that the prettiest part of her travels was the flight from Pendleton to Portland on a lovely, clear June day when she enjoyed seeing the big, green circles and the square fields of grain and the beautiful, snow-capped mountains. She visited with her son Grant Carter, his wife Darlene and their sons Brett and Sean in San Diego for over two weeks; stopped in Los Angeles to see her uncle Chester Wisman and his wife Betty and came north to Sacramen to where she was visiting with her brother Bill Hough and his wife Eleanor when they got word that their father Earl Hough was seriously ill in Portland. Ola Mae flew to Portland and stayed almost two months with her mother. After her father came home from the hospital she had much to do with his convalescence: He is very restricted as to activity and diet. The Groshens brought an oil painting of the Groshen's homestead back to Heppner. It was done by Anne Mclntyre Hutchinson. Tigard, a niece of Pat Mclntyre. The 28 by 32 inch painting was a surprise, appreciation gift to Emile and Ola Mae who had been very helpful to Mr. Mclntyre before be moved from Heppner to a Pendleton nursing home.

August 10-11 the State Executive Depart ment, and George Moose, deputy director of the State Department of Agriculture, said, "We are aware that the grain inspection services in all states, including Oregon, have been under investigation for the past three years, but we are unaware of any discovery of illegal activities on the part of Oregon grain inspectors. "We were told by U.S. Department of Agriculture officials in Washington, D.C., that the Oregon Dept. of Agri culture and its grain inspec tors were given a 'clean bill.' " Hansell and Moose said they were unaware of any investi gative activities in Oregon since then except that a team of auditors just recntly began checking transactions of grain firms in the state. There have been no reports from that team, however. "The news reports imply serious improprieties in our grain inspection program, yet if such actionable offenses have been committed in the State of Oregon, it would seem that we would have been notified. The news items mention specific offenses, but do not identify who or what agency specifically is involved in which crime. Until we are notified officially, we are going to continue under the assumption that we still have a clean bill," Hansell and Moose said.
