Early -Day 'Speed Cop' Starts 31st Year as State Policeman By VINTTA HOWARD Staff, Writer, The Statesman Capti Walter Lansing, one of Oregon's early "speed cops," be gan his 31st year Thursday as an Oregon state police officer. A senior captain, now assigned to the Secretary of State's office as director of the traffic safety division, Lansing might be called Oregon's No. 1 Lifesaver. s During his 30 years with the department most of his time both on and off the job has been aimed at preventing the fender denting duels which too often mar the state's streets and high ways. , Foil-Time Job With' Lansing, trying to edu cate, persuade and, if necessary, force people to drive 'safely; is a 24-hour-a-day job. Lansing first entered law en forcement work in 1923, when he was 26, as a deputy sheriff in eastern Oregon. He had been on his own since his early teens and had already worked as a ranch! hand, journeyman me chanic, apprentice pressman, and a mining straw-boss in Idaho at the ripe od age of 19. He was forced out of the mines by silicosis and for brief periods was a contractor, trucker, and railroader before landing the deouty sheriff job. After two years, a new political wind blew into the county and Lansing joined the newly organ ized traffic division which was later to emerge as the State Police. ; N Guns That was in 1925 and, in those days. : highway patrolmen carried no guns, an equipment item that often would have been welcomed. On more than one occasion, Lansing recalls that traffic mis creants would pile out of their cars with the comment "Maybe I can make you like the way, I drive." What happened then would 'make present-day state Births amend To Mr. and Mrs. Clif ford Amend. 4390 Toni Ave., a son.

Assistants Transferred By Thornton Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton announced Thursday the shift of several of his assistants. The shifts, he said,' were made necessary by legislative acts which impose more duties on his office. Thornton said that Roy K. Terry, attorney for the industrial accident commission in Portland, would head up the new public welfare fraud and nonsupport division. The legislature ordered Thornton to put five lawyers in this division. Terry will be replaced by George S. Woodworth, now attorney for the liquor commission. Taking Woodworm's liquor post will be Francis T. Wade, now at torney for the unemployment com pensation commission. E. Nordyke, now on Wade's staff. will be moved up into Wade's posi tion. moved into new quarter? at 99 CORVALLIS MAM CHOSEM Edgewater St, it was announced Thursday. The' store is known as Person and "Wellman, Drugs. Floor space is 60 -feet long, 22 feet wide on one floor. Both men are former owners of separate drugstores. Wellman for 27 years operated the Market Drug Store at the corner of N. Commercial and Marion Streets. Person operated another drug store for eight years on Edge water Street . Geo H. Jenkins, Corvallis, was appointed by Gov. Patterson Thurs day to the state board of architect examiners. He succeeds Howard R. Perrin, Klamath Falls. - -A-police manual writers cringe; sumce it to say, verbal exchanges sometimes did not end the episode. In 1927, Lansing was beginning to see the need for safety edu cation. In addition to his patrol duties, he organized the state's first schoolboy patrols today there are several hundred in the state and, filmed a traffic safety movie in his spare time. i Salem Transfer 1 i By 1930. his accident preven tion efforts earned him a promo tion to sergeant and a transfer to Salem. When the Department of State Police gained separate status a year later, Lansing was trans ferred to it retaining his rank He became a captain in 1935 and was placed in charge of the six- county District 2, headquartered at Salem. In the years that followed, he had a role in some of the state's more notable criminal cases, in cluding investigation of the Rose murder case in 1939 and the Lay- ton murder case in 1943. When mass food poisonings occurred at the State Hospital in the 1940's, Lansing was named -by the then Governor, Charles Sprague, to head the investigation. In 1949, he returned to full-time safety work. Lansing's speaking assignments his speeches often combine safety "sermon" with what he calls "rim rock philosophy" keep him busy hopping around the state appearing before civic and service clubs. Views Definite His views on traffic safety, which may not always coincide with those of national safety ex pens, are definite and anyone who has ever heard him expound on what he considers the scape goats of traffic safety speed, liquor, or mechanical defects will not soon, forget them. Most of his time is now devoted to filling speaking engagements, attending safety meetings, prom ulgating school bus standards, supervising the school patrol program and generally directing state police and state depart ment safety promotion programs. But he still occasionally takes the wheel of a special division recording car and goes out on patrol to record what happens when drivers fail to obey traffic laws. In 30 years as a state police officer, Lansing has worn out 17 state cars but he has yet to exhaust his own enthusiasm for the work. efore Statesman, Salem, OfcJcrJ.. fr.'i3 Py tTTfiec. 1 Independent Phonemen to Gather Today Linemen and leaders of inde pendent telephone companies throughout the state "will come to Salem toSay for a day-long plant forum.
