Basis for the law is the prin ciple that use of the highways is a privilege which the state can prohibit altogether and thus the state has the right to lay down regulations governing highway use, Thornton explained. Similar laws are now in effect in New York, Kansas and Idaho and are under legislative con sideration in at least five other states. Current Oregon law requires that a driver suspected of oper ating under the influence must give his written consent before a chemical test can btj adminis tered. The law has beep under fire by law enforcement officials as stacking the deck in favor of the drinking driver who may be too intoxicated to sign a statement or at the stage of intoxication where he is "just plain uncooper ative." National traffic authorities estimate that about 20 percent of all fatal accidents involve a drinking driver. The commission position on the law of arrest follows recommen dations of police groups which want the law changed to permit arrests for misdemeanors on "probable cause" at accident scenes in order to enable prose cution of persons whose violations caused accidents. In other business, the commis sion re-affirmed their recommen dations to the Governor that a complete study of Oregon's courts should be conducted and voted to seek amendment of House Joint Resolution 3 to specifically provide for use of motor vehicle funds to promote traffic safety in the state. Governor Robert D. Holmes, who as honorary chairman sat in on most of the two-hour session, said he wants a close liaison be tween his office and the commis sion and stressed that when the Commission wants to move in a certain direction it should have the "full weight of the executive office." The Governor's administrative assistant, Harry Swanson, also attended the session.
