Speed flrapw Charges Made In Ansrwer to Letters Pray - Saji Gty Officials Only Can Remedy . : Many , letters, soma aztendlng back for mora than a year, com- plalnlnj that a "speed trap" exists at Cascade Locks, "where motor vehicle drivers h a v a been "ar rested" apparently without just cause or provocation,' have been received by state onciala here. In most, Instances, the letters were received by Charles P. Fray, superintendent of state police. One of the most recent letters cams from A. E. ChJsholm. IMS Bnrnalda street, Portland. Ch la- holm charged that while passing throurh Cascade Locks at a speed or not more than 10 miles aa hoar he was stopped by a municipal officer and presented with a ci tation. Other somewhat similar letters bore the signatures of both Ore gon and ont-of-etato residents. All of the writers made It plain that they were stopped by a Cas cade Locks officer and none by the state police. Pray said he did ' not believe the Cascade Locks situation In volves a ''speed trap,' as defined by law. He farther expressed the opinion that state officials were helpless to correct the situation. "This can only be done by Cas cade Locks officials," Pray de clared. An unofficial report received here Indicated there were 38 ar rests for traffic violations in Cas cade Locks in June. Pray said he understood that the Oregon Motor asoclation and other organizations had protested to the Cascade Locks officials re garding the alleged "abuse."
