Battery D Of the Washington
National Guard, under the COM
mand Of Captain Wayne Thorne
and strengthened by guardsmen
from Prosser and Yakima, is still
on duty in the Kennewick area.
Strength of the guard unit va
ries between So and 60 men and
officers, said Richard Rector in
reporting to the City Council Tu-
esday night, and they have been
definitely assigned to the Kenne-
wick disaster area until today,
when a new determination must
be reached as to their further
service.
The proposal has been made,
Rector said, that the National
Guard encampment might be held
in Kennewick during the flood
emergency, thus precluding the
need to continue the service OF
the men during an encampment
period. No final decision has been
reached on the proposal.
Rector also commended the vo-
lunteer work Of the Kennewick
Naval Reserve Unit, operating
with borrowed equipment and
with funds supplied by the 18th
