Bend Man Elected Head
Of Medical Examiners
Portland (U.R) Dr. Max W.
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.
Motels, restaurants and other
roadside businesses would be al
lowed to advertise within two
miles of their building without
regard to spacing.
