mm Nevbry Sees Heavy Traffic in State During Week End Salem (U,RJ Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry today pre dicted the heaviest traffic of the year to date during the long Memorial weekend, which many Oregonians are starting this af ternoon. Cautioning motorists to "take it easy" on Memorial Day week end triDS Newbry said that nine persons died in Oregon traffic accidents during the Memorial Day week end last year, making it the worst summertime holiday of 1954 in traffic fatalities. May Excnd Last Year If the weather proves clear and sunny, Newbry said there is a strong chance that last years death toll will be equalled or exceeded. Safety men here urged all mo torists to maintain a "healthy respect" or the long straight highway where averages speeds are likely to be high. Unwary drivers tend to forget that the higher their speeds, the more dis tance it takes to bring a venicie to an emergency stop, they said. Nation-Wide Program The nation - wide " slow down and live" program is being offi cially launched in all 48 states this week end, Newbry said. The program, to continue through Labor Day, is an educational and enforcement effort aimed at traf fic violations associated with speed. Singled out for special atten tion will be the traffic boners of the driver with an "in a hurry" complex, such as cutting in, fol lowing too close, passing with in sufficient clearance and exces sive speed.

Thornton said today that any application to dredge for gold in Oregon, tide lands is not governed by the general mining law but by spec ial provisions of Oregn law regu lating the removal of minerals from the shore of the Pacific highway. . Thornton wrote the opinion at request of the state land board and said that the shore of the Pacific has been declared to be a public highway. He said: "It should be pointed out how ever, that under the provisions of the law the state land board has the power to regulate the re moval of minerals by rule and regulation and the terms of the permit or licenses are prescrib ed by the board. "Accordingly, while the min ing laws are not applicable in this instance, the state land board may by rule or regulation adopt as much of the same as it considers in the interest of the state and otherwise to protect the Pacific shore as a declared public highway. In doing, the board also should impose such restrictions on the method of ex tracting the minerals as will pro tect the beach as a public high way."
