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.

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.

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.
