The county treasurer, L. G. Collister, last night asked State Auditor Joseph T. Tracy to take over the office and conduct an examination of its affairs. Collister wrote he was prepared “to resort to the extraordinary procedure of temporarily suspending all of its functions.” The spotlight of investigation thus far has revealed numerous illegal prac- tices, including alleged “loans” amount- ing to $186,366, made to political associates and others by means of holding uncashed checks in payment SQUIBB | for taxes.

Panic Has Subsided. John Quinn, manager of the Chilean Telephone Co., made a telephone sur- vey of the Central Cordillera towns south of Santiago, and said he found business conditions had returned to normal and that the populace is no longer panicky. Julio Bustos Navarrete, director of the Salto Observa , after flying over the volcanic area in a military plane, reported last night that he saw one volcano—Deguas—in action, erupting every 30 seconds.
