Orr stated that the four de partment service officers in Oregon recovered $2,507,841 for 2,507 Oregon veterans from Sept. 1, 1954 to June 30, 195S.

"Serving the national cause, let us fight more than ever for the reunification of our terri tory," Diem said.. "Let us not reject the principle of elections as a peaceful and democratic means to realize this unity. "Yet if elections constitute one of the true bases of Democ racy they have their raison d' etre (reason for being) on con dition that they are absolutely free. ......
