Men equipped and trained for res-

persons who might otherwise die from
injuries, shock and other causes fol­
lowing an enemy air raid, said Oscar
Cutler of the State Highway Depart­
ment.
Speaking about the Engineering and
heavy rescue service this week on a
statewide civil defense radio broad­
cast, Cutler said every county in Ore­
gon, except Sherman, has received a
quota for mobile rescue units.
Marion county has been asked to
form 4 rescue units, which would in­
volve 96 persons. The quotas are
based on “Operations. Northwest
Passage”, a mock-bombing of Port­
land last summer, as well as a sur­
vey of local resources. Other quotas,
released last August, were for police
and fire reserves and three other
types of mobile teams: First aid,
emergency-hospital, and* welfare.
Rescue units will have the job of
freeing people from collapsed or
shattered structures. They will be
made up of snecialized men found in
the construction industry, such as car­
penters and building workers. If
quotas are met, there will be about
sixty 24-man rescue units in Oregon.
' in addition to about 30 units which
will be formed by the State Highway
Department.
The Engineering and Rescue Ser­
vice also has the responsibility of
designating emergency routes and re­
pairing a variety of facilities—roads,
bridges, pipe lines and blocked rail­
ways.
Cutler said that during an emerg­
ency. top priority will be given to in­
coming vehicles, such as fire engines,
utility crews and mobile teams.
Evacuees will use secondary roads.
