r-.,,u - niPli - The United used to De relatively easy
: States predicted Wednesday
that the Soviet Union will an-
' hounce shortly that it is halt
lng all its nuclear tests start
ing Jan. 1 in an effort to pres-
'.' sure the West into accepting
an uncontrolled, uninspected
moratorium on underground
," blasts.
The prediction was made
; by Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean, chief American ncgo-
tiator at the 17-nation Disarrn
... amcnt Conference.
He said the Soviet an
. nouncement probably would
.-' come from "the highest
. level," by which he may have
meant Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev although he did not
specifically say so.
Daniel Boone Shrine
Group Receives Gift
St. Louis - llPIi - A toma
hawk that once belonged to
Jemima Boone Callaway,
daughter of Daniel Boone, has
: been sent to the Daniel Boone
Shrine association for display
in (lie old Boone home in St.
Charles county.
Mrs. Veslai O. Hays of
'' Ocala, Fla., donated (he toma
hawk. She is the great-great-granddaughter
of Mrs. Calla-
' way. The tomahawk is be
lieved to be a memento of the
capture of Jemima Boone and
Elizabeth and Frances Calla
way by Indians July 14, 1776
nl Fort Bnonesborough, Ky.

set for sis and, building blocks

Dad, growing teen-agers and
young adults have to be add
ed to the toy list.
According to the Toy Man
ufacturers association, antici
pating its largest Christmas
business in history, more and
more adults arc hobbyists and
toy useis. Now toy companies
are doing their best to satisfy
all the members of the fami
ly no matter what age.
This Christmas, for instance,
will see the launching of an
authentic scale model kit of
Fire Fighter, a 20-inch long
miniature of the world's larg
est fircboat. Designed to ap
peal to both adult hobbyists
and younger model rjunacrs.
the kit reverses the past trend
of designing a product pri
marily for children, that
might also appeal to' adults.
The highly detailed kit comes
with ship brass-plated fittings,
movable water lowers, hoses
and crew. For Civil War buffs
is a Union warship, "USS
Kcarsagcs," and the full-sailed
Confederate blockade-runner,
"C. S. Alabama."
Electronics Age
The electronics age ushers
in exciting electronic toys.
The importance of this can
be judged by Ccncral Elec
tee's entry into the toy busi
ness with a line of electronic
experimental kits. Westins
house has introduced a life
like doll whose voice, trans
istor radio hidden in her
body, "speaks" by remote
control.

Edi'er's note: Following If
the 10th in a series of 12
articles dealing with Oregon
motor vehicle laws. Quostions
regarding stale motor vehicle
laws may be submitted to the
Department of Motor Vehi
cles, Traffic Safely Division,
Salem.
Oregon was one of the first
states in the nation to pass a
law providing for the arimissl
. bilily of chemical test cvi-
, dencc in cases involving
driving while intoxicated. The
law was enacted in the early
1 HMO's.
-' The law now in effect in
2 Oregon provides that a per
son arrested and charged with
facie evidence that the de
fendant was not under the
influence; over .05 per cent,
but less than .15 per cent, is
considered relevant evidence,
but cannot be given prima
facie effect in indicating
whether or not the defendant
was under the influence.
If, however, analysis shows
that there was .15 per cent
Or niftrfi nlrnhnl in Mir,
I this is considered prima facie
evidence that the defendant
was under the influence.
To understand these fig.
urcs, it is necessary to explain
briefly what happens when
alcohol cnlers the stomach in
tile form of a beverage. Sci
entists say It Is absorbed
being under the influence of
intoxicating lkuor may, upon through the walls of the slum
his consent, be given a chem- ch and the small lnlcsline
v leal test lo determine the
: amount of alcohol in the per-
son's blood.
The lest may he of the
blond, breath, urine or other
bodily substance, but if a
blood test is to be given only
a duly licensed physician, or
a person acting for the physi
cian, may withdraw the blood.
Several key words affect
administration of the law. In
the first place, the person
must be arrested and charge!
wMh 'the jpecific offense 1
driving under the influence;
he cannot be asked to take
a chemical test in connection
Willi any other violation. Sec
ondly, lie must give his con
sent lo the lest. The consent
may be verbal or written. Un
til mtil, consent had to be
in writing.
Refusal Not Admiiiable
Should the person rcfu.ve to
take a chemical test, none
call be taken. Further, the rc
, fusal to permit a lest is not
admissible in evidence against
him at his trial.
The law in Oregon, and
ntot other ,st;ites
that 115 per cent
Into the blood stream. The
blood carries It lo all parts
of the body which contain
water. Including the brain.
Thus, the degree of intoxica
tion and its effect on driving
ability can be determined by
the per cent of alcohol in the
blood, breath, urine or saliva,
though (he latter test Is sel
dom used.
Believed Too Liberal
Many scientists believe (he
.15 per cent figure is too lib
eral. Further experimenta
tion, they say, indicates that
practically all human beings
arc unfit to drive with as
much as .1(1 per cent blood
alcohol concentration, and
thai many are unlit at much
lower levels.
Chmccial test evidence is
not as widely used as satety
proponents believe it should
be because many people re
fuse to permit a chemical test.
Chemical lest proponents
maintain that greater use of
the tests would protect the
innocent, as well as aid pros-
