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 Rules on
Coast Gold Digging
Salem (U.R' Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. 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." Dead line Sunday Classified is at

Elmo Smith Raps
Tax Referendum
Salem (U.R) State Senate
President Elmo Smith said today
the tobacco industry was "irre
sponsible" in filing a referen
dum petition against the pro
posed state cigarette tax.
The industry, which claims it
cannot afford to collect taxes for
the state, yesterday filed prelim
inary referral petitions against
the tax within hours after Gov.
Paul Patterson had signed the
measure into law.
Sen. Smith said the tobacco
industry is making "an effort to
avoid sharing Oregon's tax
load."
Robert A. Bradlee, Portland,
secretary of Tobacco Distribu
tors, claimed that a tax on ciga
rettes has "no moral base."

Edith Green Proposes
Equal Pay for Women
WashingtonU.R) Rep. Edith
Green (D.-Ore.) introduced legis

en the same pay rates as men on
jobs in interstate commerce.
She told a news conference
there are still "glaring and
shocking examples of women re
ceiving rates of pay far less than
men for equivalent work.
"This not only lowers the
standards of pay for women, but
by setting up women as unfair
competitors to men, it under
mines the pay standards of men,
also," she said.
