about 10 a.m. (PST), was in
the low megaton range. This

'Laxity Existed'
In Hiring.
Salem-IUPIi-Gov. Mark Hat -
field said trday he hPs re-
made on the hiring of Iark
M. Infante as a state labor
bureau iifcpector and e. is ap
parent that "a laxity existed
in checking out" Infante's
backgnvnd.
Infante worked for the Ore
gon Iftibor Bureau from 1957
$o 1960. Hatfield said that
while Infante's qualifications!. Pewbry said he feels it is
appeared to be in igjder, it isUm$orti18' that the publication
now known that Infante "did:y Infante be taken off the
falsify his biographical infor- list of official documents of
mation." Oregon since it cpusine
Hatfield also said h? is ask -
ing the Oregon Civil Service
Commission to make sucn
changes in its regulafions "as
sgem impropriate." He indicat
ed that while security checks
on 35,000 applications for
work the toUr? number of
state employees would be
costly, it is important that
Bring procedures "be refin
ed with respect to policy posi
tions." Earlier, Hatfield's legal ad
visor, Loren Hicks, indicated
that while correct procedure
had been followed in the 1957
hiring of Iniante, his probe
indicated that such regula
tions needed to be strengthen
ed. Created Stir
Infante caused a controversy
among Oregon farmers while
with the labor bureau. Some
farmers laid he painted a
btesed picture of living condi
tions of migrant workers.
Now in California, Infante
entered ghe news a few weeks'
ago by dcclarfhg himself .as
Marcanlonio Diaz - Infante,
Mexican revolutionary leader.
As to whether Infante
should have been hired by the
state, and the circumstances
as to how he came to be an-
lroved, Hatfield said a con
clusion is impossible. .
Hatfield said the state civil
service director at the time
was part of the previous ad
ministrttion. The present civil
service staff indicates that
Infante "first was introduced
to them by the Bureau of
Labor," Hatfield said, but
State Labor Commissioner
Norman Nilsen "indicates the
contrary was the case."
