Hemingway of Bend has been elected president of the State Board of Medical Examiners for the coming year to succeed Dr. Ralph E. Purvine of Salem, it was announced today. Negligent Homicide Statute Upheld Salem (U.R) The Oregon Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of the Oregon negligent homicide statute and reversed three Multnomah coun ty circuit court decrees holding it unconstitutional. In separate cases, the state brought charges of negligent homicide against Kenneth C. Wojahn, Thomas G. Walker and Richard L. Berry. Circuit Judge James R. Bain dismissed the ac tion against Walker and Berry and Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dob son dismissed the case against Wojahn. In. all three cases, the princi pal claim by the, defendants was the terms of a negligent homi cide statute are too vague and indefinite to enable a motorist to know when his driving trans gresses the law, and in the Berry and Walker cases the defendants further claimed that a joint in dictment was improper. Driver Training Program Defeated Salem (U.R) The House to day killed a bill for a high school driver training program financed by increased moving traffic violation fines and higher learner permit fees. Rep. Norman Howard (D Portland), sponsor of the bill, changed his Vote to no after the rollcall to be in a position to ask for reconsideration. Vote on the measure was 27 to 25 after Howard changed his vote. A bill must receive 31 aye votes to pass. Howard told the House the program would result in 33 per cent safer, highways in Oregon and ultimately reduce the cost of auto accident insurance.

Highway Billboard Measure Approved Salem (U.R) The House to d&y passed a measure to regulate billboards along state highways. The measure is a compromise among three bills introduced by different groups interested in the problem. Rep. George Anala (D-Hood River), chairman of a subcommittee on highways wnich drew up the bill, said the aim was to provide maintenance standards, eliminate signs of non existing business and to provide spacing rules. Signs would be 100 feet apart on one side of the road on limit ed access highways. On other state highways signs having 65 square feet or less, will be al lowed every 300 feet with larger signs 500 feet apart.
