miles east of Fallon. He said the
major zone involved was about
a mile wide. .

caused only minor damage be'
cause the earth rolled rather
than jarred. Seismographs meas
ured it at between 6.75 and
slightly more than 7 on the

EOC Young GOPs
To Keep Affiliation
La Grande (U.R) Eastern
Oregon College Young Republi
cans will not withdraw from the
state group, Arthur Hartgraves,
chairman, said today.
Hartgraves said "it is our in
tent to remain and carry on true
Republicanism ' within the fed
eration." But he added that the
decision did not mean a change
in the EOC attitude toward the
"high command" of the state fed
eration. ' '-.;
Controversy between the col
lege club, third largest in Ore
gon, and the parent state group
began when Hartgraves charged
that EOC's club was not invited
to the state convention.
Hartgraves said "we still sin
cerely feel that there has been
a series of actions between the
immediate past officers and the
newly-elected officers, tending to
turn the Federation into a priv
vate club where they can rule
unchallenged as spokesmen for
all Young Republicans in Ore
gon." He announced that plans were
being made to hold a conclave
of all Young Republicans - east
of the Cascades some time in the
spring. -

mous one, granted the AFL

missed Bridges' request for a
separate election among stew
ards, who make up a large part

sonnel are to be represented by
