(UPI) Civil Defense ml With Jitters as leadline Clears Federal Matching Fund Decision Due by Sunday Salem -irt- Federal of - ficials today rejected Ore gon's request for civil de fense matching funds. By ZAN STARK -'V Salem-lUPIl-A case of jitters racked Oregon's civil defense agency today as the deadline neared for a decision on whether federal matching funds would be provided. Only seven of the agency's 18-mcmber staff were still on the job. The others have either ' quit or have been laid off because of the cutback order ed by the 1963 legislature. The legislature cut the agency to a three-member co ordinating staff . attached to the governor's office. Federal officials said they would not provide matching funds so three additional staff ers could be hired. Then they indicated they might change their mind. . Sunday marks the end of the current biennium. The new coordinating council takes over on Monday. Nunn, Pittman Meet Warne Nunn,- executive as sistant to Gov. Mark Hatfield, met with national civil de fense director S. L. Pittman last Friday in Portland. Nunn said no decisions were reached. Nunn said he expected the final decision earlier this week. Agency Director Rob ert Sandstrom said he plan ned to keep himself, radio technician Joseph Vogt, and Bookkeeper Donna Casey on the staff. He said" if federal funds were approved, he also would keep radiological defense and shelter officer W. F. Cole man, information director Gerald Claussen. and proper ty records clerk Fay Millie. The future of 37 field hos pitals, the marking of fall out shelters, and stocking shelters with emergency sup plies is in doubt. Federal matching funds could keep these programs alive, he said. Without the funds, he was not sure what would happen to these services.
