ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - (Special) -Wives may have new evidence to fortify their conviction that wnen a man reaches 40 he has entered the dangerous age. Whether or not it lias any relation to masculine romantic wan derlust, the governm e n t has produced statistics to show that drivers between the ages of 35 and Sports Areas in Forests Attract 1 Portland - Winter sports areas of the National forests nf OrMnn and Washington at tracted more than 1 million visits in 1962, according to J. Herbert Stone, regisional for oiir. U.S. forest service. This Is an increase of 157 per cent since 1950. Skiine is the most popular activity among winter sports enthusiasts; it accountea lor 95 per cent of the public use of winter sports areas in 1962. Them are 29 National for est ski areas in the Pacific Northwest region. Each has hppn develoDcd by a private company, local ski club, or civic group, operators are responsible for adequate sanitation and for the con struction, maintenance, and safe operation of ski tows, ski lifts, warming shelters, and ski slopes. Winter access to the areas Is provided by the area operator or by county or state government. Maintains Inventory The forest service locates and maintains an Inventory of potential winter sports areas as part of its recreation plan ning, Stone noted. Recent ski ana develop ments in the region include Crystal Mountain, east of Mt. Rainier on the Snoqualmie National forest. Advertisements have been published for development of Mt. Ashland Ski Area on the Rogue River National forest. It is expected work will be gin at Mt. Ashland this spring. Arrest to the area will be pro vided by eight miles of new road from the Siskiyou sum mit on Highway 99; road fi nancing will be by the Associ ation of O and C Counties. Two lifts will be constructed, one from the lodge site to the summit near the crest or Mt. Ashland, and the second from the lodge to the foot of the basin below the road. New Doubla-Chalr A new double-chair lift at ! Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood j National forest, was dedicated In December at the time of the 25th anniversary of the lodge. The old lift Is not oper ating. The people of Baker have begun development of the An thony Lakes Ski Area under permit from (he forest serv ice. The first lift on the area is a Pomallft which covers a distance of 3,000 feet with a vertical rise of 840 feet. Ski Acres, just east of Sno qualmie Pass on the Snoqual mie Pass highway, has con structed a new double chair which will open a new area to skiing on that site. Ski Acres Is largely on private land, but a portion of the new chair lift Is on the Snoqual mie National forest. Scout News NEW NUCLEAR STATION Washington - lUPli - The De fense Department Saturday will begin operation of lis fourth station to Improve de tection of underground nu clear explosions. The depart ment said the new Installu tion, called "Cumberland pla teau seismologlcal observa tory," is near McMinnvlllc. Tenn., about 70 miles south east of Nashville. Othprs arc at Fort Sill, Okla.; Baker, Ore., and Vernal, Utah. 44 have the highest percent age of drunken driving con victions resulting in loss of their driving permits. Most of them, of course, are men. The Office of Highway Safety in the Commerce De partment has been compiling a national driver register since July 1, 1961, when Congress authorized a register of the names of drivers who have lost their driving permits be cause of driving while intoxi cated or involvement in a fatal accident. The register is compiled from reports sub mitted by the states. With over a quarter of a million names now registered in the memory bank of a bat tery of IBM computers, this register offers the first op portunity safety experts have had to analyze the relation ship between age and unsafe driving among American driv ers. Most Reckless Age Their analysis discloses that the most reckless age, Judging by fatalities, is from 20 to 24. Out of 1,378 drivers who lost their licenses for this reason, 25 per cent were in this age bracket. Age 25 to 29 was the next most difficult period, draw ing 16 3 per cent of the total. Age 30 to 34 dropped to 11.6 per cent and age 35 to 39 had 10. 1 per cent. The very young drivers, under 20, of which there are some 6.5 million, accounted for 10 per cent of the license revocations due to fatalities, or about the same rate as those in their late 30s. In short, the statistics show that fatal accidents rise sharp ly among drivers In their early 20s and then gradually diminish with the drivers ad vancing age. The drunken driving curve on the age chart is quite dif ferent. It gels worse as the driver nears his 10s and then gradually improves as he passes beyond the dangerous years. The number of license sus pensions for intoxication among drivers under 20 is negligible, 1.5 per cent. From age 20 to 24 it jumps up to 10.2 per cent. From 25 to 29 it rises to 12 per cent, and from 30 to 34 it reaches 12.9 per cent. Things Get Better In the worst age bracket, 35 to 39, there are an esti mated 10.5 million drivers. In the first 17 months under the new law, the Office of High way Safely registered 32,735 for drunken driving, or 14.7 per cent of all the drivers who committed this offense. Age 40 to 44 was only slightly less, 14.4 per cent, but after 45 things get better. The late forties are compar able to the late twenties; and the early fifties are comp arable to the early twenties. Age is no certain cure for this form of reckless driving. The register shows that while the percentage is small, nev ertheless there were 478 driv ers 75 and older who lost their permits for hitting the bottle and the accelerator without an adequate pause for safety's Grange News Roxy Ann Grange A short business' session will be held at the Roxy Ann Grange hall beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15.

SHOT IN LEG Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -H!PD-Pitcher Marshall Bridges of the New York Yankees was shot in the left leg by a wom an in a Fort Lauderdale Elks club Wednesday night and is under sedation in Broward County hospital. Nevada Senator Plans 'Sweeping Probe' of BLM Washington -UIPD- Sen. Alan Bible (D-Nev.) announced Wednesday he would conduct a "sweeping investigation" of the Bureau of Land Manage ment. Bible, chairman of the Sen ate public lands subcommit tee, made the announcement in the wake of a report that the Interior Department would increase grazing fees on public lands in the western states. The Nevada Democrat said he was "disappointed" in an increase despite requests it be postponed. He said his committee would conduct a "searching examination" of BLM opera tions, particularly those deal ing with grazing services. "In view of President Ken nedy's recommendation for tax cuts to stimulate the econ omy, it seems ironical that the livestock industry should be singled out to bear a further burden at this time," he said. Bureau of Land Manage has sent the order to Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall, who is expected to sign it. The order would apply to public land in Colorado, Wy oming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. The order is expected to call for an average 50 per cent increase, as recommended last week by Assistant Interior Secretary John A. Carver in hearings before the Senate public lands sub-committee. Cattlement from the west ern states opposed the in creases. Many members of Congress from the region also asked that any increases be postponed until further hear ings are conducted in the states. It was understood that the order increasing grazing fees would have been isued earlier but was withheld until the congressional hearings here ended. Capitol Memo THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1963 C 5 Legislators Vision Tax on Cigarettes, Modified Budget By ZAN STARK I Off the-record comments by - Sales tax proposals will Eycmann suggested these i $18 million a biennium mii be sidetracked. Sialcm IUPD Adoption of a cigarette tax, a modified $405 million budget, and a corn- pro m i s e of present per sonal income tax plans are quietly being forecast by legislators here. There is a growing feeling that 1 e g I s 1 a tors may attempt to postpone any major over haul of the state's income tax. some of the legislature's most influential members indicate: -Gov. Mark Hatfield's budget requests will be trimmed, but other expendi tures will result in abuut a $405 million spending pro gram. -The Mosscr feature of re taining charity deductions, the Musa plan for a $5 tax filing fee, and the governor's $20 a person tax credit in place of exemptions will be combined in a partial over haul of present tax laws. Many legislators say pri vately they are getting a lot of pressure from constituents urging "hold the line." Edu cation's requests apparently do not have general public support. House Tax Committee Chairman Richard Eymann (D-Marcola) may have been outlining the legislature's course last Friday when he discussed "alternatives." Lycmann suggested these "possibilities": Double beer and wine taxes to raise $3 million a bien nium. -Adopt "one shot" with holding and self-employment tax payment speed-ups which could bring in up to $16 mil lion next biennium. -Tax small utility trailers for an additional $4 million a biennium. This produces up to $24 million in new revenue. A 4-cent a pack cigarette tax would bring an estimated $18 million a biennium. This total of about $42 mil lion would more than be enough to finance the alter nate budget proposed by Legislative Fiscal O f f i c f r Kenneth Bragg. It would fall short of Hatfield's request, but still provide enough for pay hikes for state employ ees, and some expansions of state services. The cigarette tax has been defeated before by the voters. But voters know the state is in financial trouble.

Both might be defeated, leaving the state critically short of money, and virtually assur ing a special session of the legislature would have to be called late this year. Eymann told tax commit tee members use of the "al ternative" measures would give the legislature an oppor tunity to study long range tax increase needs during the coming biennium, and elimi nate ine possibility of enact ing laws which would raise more money than was needed. Such solve the money problem. It uuia simpiy put 0ff for another two overhaul of the income tax. During that two year period legislators COUlH trv In nl,.ol. the best features from the many plans now before it, and possibly come up with a compromise tax plan that the state could live with in me years ahead. It also would eive vntoi-. an opportunity to get used to the cigarette tax, and deter mine for themselves if they were willing to pay for the "expanded services" so man groups claim are necessary. fcyeman is not onlv an v. pert in t a x a t i o n ho i. enough of a political realist io Know mat there is a point beyond which the voters are not prepared to go this year.
