Slain Filed ii Mional 8uan) Scandal. $2,470 Asked on 'Position Bond' Over Officers Salem-fUrt-Thfe firat of sev eral claims against bonding companies as the result of the misappropriation of Oregon National Guard funds have been filed by the attorney gen eral's office, it was disclosed Tuesday. Investigations into National Guard financial operations following the death of Ad Gen. Alfred Hintz last year led to the discovery of the m isa DPropriations. Report of the irregularities In . the National Guard ac counts was made to the Ore gon Legislature this year by Secretary of State Howell Ap pling Jr. Result of Findings The action against the bond' ing companies was a result of the findings of Appling's auditors. The first claim was for $2 470 and was filed against an insurance company which held a so-called "position bond" over National Guard staff officers authorized to draw checks and claims on state funds, Asst. Atty, Gen. Peter Herman said. Herman said the bonding company was being asked to replace $2,470 drawn in false claims for rations in order to provide liquor and other goods for official parties at Camp Clatsop (now Camp Rilea) in 1957, 1958 and 1SS9. The claim filed with the bond ing firm said the money ap parently was drawn by on or more of four or five high ranking officers covered by the bond but that It has not been determined which one drew the money. An auditor's statement filed with the claim quoted one of ficer as saying the false draft in 1959 was ordered by Hintz. Atty. Gen. Robert Thornton said the state could claim up to $5,000 on the personal bond of Hintz and $5,000 on the blanket policy against the others. Herman said investigation has shown a shortage in Na tional Guard funds of be tween $22,000 and $23,000. Unauthorised Protects Auditors said that much of the money had been used for unauthorized projects at Camp Withycombe. . Additional claims will be filed as soon as the state learns whether or not the fed eral government intends to lay claim against the state for federal surplus property ob tained from the Tongue Point Naval Station on an altered requisition, Herman said. Soviet, Chinese Envoys Agree To Blast U. S. Hiroshima, Japan - IUPII - Feuding Russian and Chinese Communist delegates to world ban the bomb confer ence here today buried the hatchet long enough to agree on a resolution condemning alleged U.S. "war policy." Resolution Faces Tough UN Fight United Nations - HOT - At rican members of the United Nations faced a tough fight today in an effort to win Security Council approval for a partial economic boycott of South Africa. The United States, Britain, France and Norway were all reported against the language of parts of a resolution ta bled before the council Tues day by Ghana,' Morocco and the Philippines. Since a resolution must have seven affirmative votes Including all five perma nent members, Britain, the United States, France, China and the Soviet Union - to win approval by the 11-nation council, some hard bargain ing seemed likely. The Afro - Asian resolution called on the council to ap prove a boycott of all South African goods and to call on states to stop exporting to South Africa any materials of direct military value. It also called on states to cease "forthwith" the sale and shipment of arms and am munition to South Africa. The U.S. has announced it will cease exporting arms to South Africa when current commitments have been hon ored by the end of the year. Britain and France also were reported in favor of an em bargo on arms which might be used by the South African government against Africans. They planned to read it as a final statement by delegates from 22 countries to the clos ing session of the ninth an nual World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. Many Disgusted This year's conference, split by arguments between Com munist and Socialist delegates as well as intra - Communist quarrels, appears to have dis gusted many residents of Hiroshima who feel their city, the first to suffer atomic at tack, has been turned into a political arena. Some of Hiroshima's big gest pacifist organizations have disavowed all connec tions with the meeting. "We must point out that as shown by the recent world sit uation, the most serious threat to world peace comes from the present war policy of the U.S. nuclear group," the resolution said. Treaty Not Mentioned It did not mention the nu clear test ban treaty signed in Moscow recently. The treaty has been supported by the Russian Comunists and condemned by the Red Chi nese. One American delegate here, Russ Nixon of New York City, was a member of the drafting committee. The other U.S. delegate, Mrs. Carol Ur- ner of Portland, Ore., said she would not sign it because it did not reflect the thinking of her organization, the Women's Strike for Peace.

Kennedy would heed their pleas. Pierre Salinger, the Presi dent's press secretary, said late Tuesday he would "look into" the matter. The American Medical As sociation has categorically labeled the drug "worth less." Law requires that "plans for investigational use" be filed with the Food and Drug Administration for every drug under experimental use. Drs. Steven Durovic and An drew C. Ivy, Chicago, spnn- sors of Krebiozen, at first compiled with this require ment, then withdrew their plan charging the FDA with harassment. Their action meant that Krebiozen no longer could be sent througii interstate com merce. Persons using the drug were faced with the choice of moving to Illinois or abandoning the treatment. Abut 200 of them, some en route to Chicago and many wearing the symbolic black of mourning, appeared be fore the White House Tues day in support of their plea. They also picketed the Health, Education and Wel fare department. They sought an executive order by the President which would guarantee that those now taking the serum could continue to do so until the National Cancer Institute has tested the drug. Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D 111.) has proposed a joint reso lution under which Krebio zen shipments to patients now undergoing the serum Rogue Valley Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1963 would be permitted until an NCI test of the serum is com pleted. A similar resolution in the House by Rep. Otis G. Pike (D-N.Y.), has about 20 co-sponsors. Mechanics Tools For RENT At A to Z Rental 1213 N.
