"Oregon was one of the first states to comply with the federal act and; it took the most forward step when it set up the special five-man board to " administer its boat laws and regulations," said Walker, "The board, appointed by Governor Hatfield, has achiev ed an enviable record in a very short time and 11 de serves to be left alone for at least two years more to com plete its work, No Benefit ) "The 75,000 boat owners, commercial and recreational, see no benefit to accrue from the proposals to abolish the board at this time. . "One of the bills, SB 188, would transfer the board's functions lo a proposed de partment of recreation and hi jack all of the license and numbering fees paid to the state boat owners, and abol ish all refunds of gasoline taxes paid by the boating pub lic, while farmers, contrac tors! and other non-htghway users would continue to get refunds. We consider this a very unfair -measure. "The other proposal, a part of the governor s reorganiza tion plan, would transfer the board's functions to a new small craft and harbors board but would not change the li cense and gas tax structure. The proposed new board, how ever, would be merely advi sory, a group of "yes-men to the director of the new depart ment, which we feel Is not de sirable. The present board has authority over the director, 45,000 Licensed ' Walker said that 45,000 boats now are licensed in Ore gon under the present law and they include most of the com mcrcial fishing, and logging boats as well as recreational craft over 12 feet In length They pay some $300,000 a year In license and numbering fees to the state, and are esti mated to contribute about the same amount annually In gas oline taxes. ' About 70 per cent of the license and numbering money is returned to the variou counties in direct proportion to the number of boats regis tcred, which gives the coun ties funds for enforcement construction of facilities, and other purposes. SB 180, Walk cr said, contains no provision for continuation of the pay monts to the counties. "The unrefunded gas t.ix money by rights belongs to the boating public and if any change is made by the legis lature, provision should be made for a fair portion of it to be set aside for construc tion of much-needed ramp- docks, and channels," Walker said.

Mengert, 31, who has club jobs at St. Louis, Mo., in the summer and at Phoenix, Ariz., in the winter, fired a second- round 65 Thursday which, with his first round 68, gave him a 36-hole total of 133.

January, who had never be fore made a hole-in-one in 24 years of golfing, used an eight-iron to dunk his tee shot right into the hole on the fly. At that, his was not the only ace of the day. Amateur Sam Tobias of Bakersficld, Calif., holed his tee shot on the 217 yard 12th hole at the Eldorado course. Tobias, a 17-handicap-per, and the momentary ie?o of duffers all over the world, wasn't even trying-he used a driver on the hole. Tobias won a golf cart valued at $1,000 for his ace. Another highlight of the sec ond round was a sizzling eight -under -par 63 at the Thunderbird course by George Bayer-the best round of the day. Bayer had a two-round total of 135 and was in a four-way tie for fourth place with Jay Hebert, 66-60, Lay fayette, La.; Fred Hawkins, 67-68, El Paso, Tex., and Dave Marr, Houston, Tex., 65-70.
