The program, from June 9 lo August 16, will include a week's orientation on the uni versity campus, an 8-week in ternship at a public institu tion in the Northwest, and a final week back on campus for an evaluation of the field experience. The program is sponsored Jointly by the Western Inter state Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). the Uni versity of Oregon summer ses sion, the University of Wash ington school of social work, the Oregon state board of control, the Washington state department of institutions, the Idaho state department of health, and Idaho state hos pital north.

The course will be staffed by university faculty members and visiting profes sors and lecturers from other colleges and the sponsoring agencies. The coure was first held under WICHE sponsorship in 1960. Next summer similar courses also are planned at the University of Colorado, the University of the Pacific, and San Diego State college. The course is designed to acquaint undergraduate stu dents or those who will be graduating in June with work in mental health, mental re tardation, and juvenile and adult rehabilitation through actual on-the-job experience combined with academic work and to recruit particularly able students into careers in these fields. Assigned to Hospitals Students will be assigned lo various cooperating men tal hospitals, homes for the retarded, and correctional in stitutions in Oregon, Wash ington, and Idaho during the first week of the course. The interns will have opportuni ties to observe activities re lated to cottage and ward life, recreation, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, research, and other dis ciplines. Any undergraduate who has completed his first year at a Western college or uni versity may apply. There may also be room in the course for a few students from Eastern colleges, according to Bisno. Preference will be giv en to students with high scho lastic ability and potential ca pacity for graduate work. The students will earn six credit hours in either sociolo gy or psychology and a sti pened of approximately $970. Cost to the student will be $75 for tuition, plus room, board, and transportation. Last year's course at the university enrolled 52 stu dents from 27 different col leges. Between 50 and 60 stu dents will be selected for the 1963 course. and still under questioning have told police they were plotting to kill both Presi dent Charles de Gaulle and Premier Georges Pompidou. Police believe that two spectacular bank robberies in Paris and the provincial town of Beanue recently, netting a total haul estimated at 2, 500,000 francs ($500, 0 0 0) staged by OAS gangs. Police also believe the pro fessional killer who shot mer chant banker Henri LaFond lo death on Aug. 22 last suburban Neuilly may have been an OAS terrorist. Warnings Received Several leading French bankers recently have receiv ed OAS warnings that they would be killed unless they handed over big sums to the terrorists. Police say LaFond may have been killed as a "warning" to other financiers after he refused to go along with the shakedown. The most serious OAS threat in the eyes of French security authorities remains that to de Gaulle's life. Five members of the 14 -man gang that tried to mach incgun de Gaulle and his wife to death on Aaug. 22 last year still are on the run. Among them is Georges ("The Limp") Watin, a desperado who has become the most wanted man in France today. The recent kindnaplng in Munich of renegade former Col. Antoinc Argoud, one of the four top OAS chiefs, has not seriously eased the threat to de Gaulle's life, French po lice believe. Figurehead Leader in Exile Theoretically, Argoud was boss for France itself of the OAS and the so-called "Na tional Resistance Council," whose figurehead leader is self-exiled former Premier Georges Bidault. But French security author ities regarded Argoud as more of a dreamer thai-, a man of action. Two of his aides, former Army epptians Rene Sergent and Jean Curutchet, still are at large. The la?t two are regarded as the real terrorist bosses in France at the moment. As long as Sergent, Curutchet and Watin remain free, French security authorities see a contlnous threat to de Gaulle's life. Another of the OAS "lost soldiers" believpd on the run in France ir former Col. Charles Chalcau-Jobert. He also is regarded as a des. -ado who would stop at noth ing to kill de Gaulle and over throw the Fifth Republic. Break Seen " But Chateau-Jobert appears to have broken with other OAS leaders and started an anti -Gaullist organization of his own under the name of "Counter - Revolutionary Movement" (MCR).

Aims Are Clear Former Generals Raol Sa lan and Ermund Jouhaud are serving life prison sentences. Argoud is behind bars. The group of OAS leaders which sought refuge in Spain has been broken up and some of its members shipped off to South America. Police estimate that the to tal number of active OAS ter rorists in France today prob ably is not more than a few hundred and the number of symphathizers is not more than a few tens of thousands. But the terriorist's aims are clear. They believe that if they succeeded in killing de Gaulle the country would be plunged into chaos and civil 'rife in which the army would be forced to intervene. They believe there still is sufficient below the surface support for the OAS in the armed forces to ensure a new regime sympathetic to them.
