Continental Shelf
Off Oregon Differs
From Average Area
Corvallis - The waves that feature that covers an area
wash the Oregon beaches hide
a continental shelf that dif
fers notably from the ever -e
underwater area of coasts
around the world, according
to an Oregon State university
oceanographer.
The Oregon continental
shelf is narrower, steeper,
and deeper than the average
continental shelf. Dr. John
V. Byrne has found.
The shelf - or the area ex
tending from low water to the
first pronounced increase of
slope to deeper water - is
about 0 miles wide in the
Cape Blanco-Coos Bay area;
elbows out to about 30 miles
off Florence; thins back to
about 15 miles below Tilla
mook; and then broadens
out again to about 35 miles
off Astoria.
Shelves around the world
have an average width of 42
miles, slope only about hlf
as steep as that off Oregon,
and an average depth at the
outer edge of 430 feet, com
pared to about 480-600 feet
off Oregon.
Studies Ocean Bottom
Byrne whose specialty is
ocean geology, has been study
ing the ocean bottom off Ore
gon since he joined the OSU
Oceanography department i
1960. Before that, he had
been a research geologist for
an oil company in Texas.
The Astoria Canyon is a
unique underwater feature
off Oregon also, Byrne notes.
The giant canyon is 4 miles
wide where it crosses the edge
of the continental shelf. It
extends out in serpentine
fashion some 60 miles to a
depth of 6,000 feet. There, its
identity as a canyon is lost
on Astoria Cone, a fan-shaped
of more than 3,500 square
miles at a depth ranging
down to almost two miles.
"High points" are promi
nent off the Oregon coast
too, Byrne emphasized. About
300 miles west of ihr mouth
of the Columbia is Cobr Sea
mount. More spectacular than
Mt. Hood, it rises from the
ocean floor, 9.000 feet be
low, to within 90 feet of the
surface.
14-Mile Rise
Stonewall Bank, located 17
miles southwest of Yaquina
Bay, is a rise approximately
14 miles long and 9 miles
wide with a crest that is only
about 120 feet under water.
And Heceta Bank, lying ap
proximately 35 miles west of
the mouth of the Siuslaw riv
er is a shoal area 25 miles
long, 6 to 8 miles wide, and
less than 120 feet down.
The two banks and some
unnamed shoals lying be
tween them may have possi
ble economic value some day
as off-shore oil drilling sites,
Byrne believes.
His work is one segment of
the extensive program of re
search under way by the
OSU Oceanography depart
ment on the ocean off Ore
gon. The research vessel Ac
ona, is used in gathering data.

PAY RAISE DEMANDED-The "Beefeaters"
who guard the Tower of London and the
British Crown Jewels demanded an extra
24 cents a day raise in pay, threatening to
go out on strike if they don't get the raise.
The Beefeaters, shown being inspected by
their commander, wear red costumes dating
back to the Tudor era when on duty. The
guards, who are mainly ex-serviccmcn, get
70 cents a day above their S30.80 weekly
pay and arc asking the additional recom
pense for protecting the tower when it is not
open to the public. (UPI)

Harold Mintz guilly o! vio
lating medical ethics.
The supreme court opinion,
written by Justice Kenneth
O'Conncll, reversed a Mult
nomah County Court decision.
The lower court had order
ed the board to reinstate the
license on grounds the board's
rules failed to define profes
sional misconduct sufficient
ly enough to specify the
charges against the doctor.
The lower court also said
the doctor was charged only
with administering drugs, and
thus with a mere offer or
attempt to commit abortion,
rather than with actually pro
curing an abortion.
Adequate Standard
The high court replied that
the term "unprofessional con
duct" is an adequate stand
ard. It said the statute is sup
posed to be broad because of
the impossibility of catalog
ing all the various possible
types of professional misconduct.
The high court said the
board had a right to believe
the two women, and their
testimony, in turn, was suffi
cient to sustain the charge
against Dr. Mintz.
In another case, the su
preme court upheld Multno
mah County Judge Ralph Hol
man in a case involving ,i
teen-age girl who suffered
head and neck injuries when
she dove into a shallow pool
at Jantzcn beach.
The judge, overthrowing a
jury, had refused damages to
the girl on grounds the pool
was adequately posled Willi
"shallow pool'' sings.
The girl had contended the
pool owners should have call
ed more attention to the fact
the pool was shallow on all
sides.
The high court replied that
signs around the pool gave
sufficient notice to a reason
ably prudent person.
Other cases:
, S.. Henry Raz, appelant, vs.
Ruth Mills, appeal from Yam
hill county, verdict in favor
of Ruth Mills affirmed in
damage action arising from
collision of two cars near
Newbcrg.
Decree Affirmed
Rosemary C. Agruc. appel
lant, vs. William S. Agrue, ap
peal from Benton county,

Rose L. Howes, appellant,
vs. John M. Sherlock, appeal
