Report Optimistic Except For Agriculture SALEM (AP) A special i5 - member joint legislative commit-! lee today received an optimistic; report on me luiure 01 all ol Ore-1 gon s economy except agncul - lure. The activities of the federal Charles Mack, chairman of the'Bovcrnment are as important, if Oregon Tax Commission, told the not more important, than the col legislators an expected upturn in Active decisions of major busi the economic prospects of the ncss In determining the economic state will bring more revenue. Mack was particularly optimis-i tic about the future of the various parts of the lumber industry, which he said now is in a period of recession. Mack said that he could find no signs of an upturn in agricul ture, but added he could see no signs it will get worse. There has been a steady climb ' in farm production expenses, but prices of farm products did not rise proportionately, he said. The per capita income, of the farmer is likely to go up as fewer farmers will be receiving income, he said, adding this indicated a trend toward larger farms. "This is the only major sector of the state's economy in which state income tax revenue is not expected to expand," he said. Mack said the probable receipts from income taxes in the next biennium will be $205 million, an increase of 8.8 per cent from the $188.5 million of the present bien- nium. Receipts from excise taxes probably will be $45 million, com ' pared to $42.5 million now. He said income tax revenue was expected to rise more rapidly than excise revenue because of ' the progressive structure of the personal income tax and because corporation profits were hot ex pected to rise as fast. Mack said this ts because it Scholarships SALEM (AP) The state Scholarship Commission Saturday decided to recommend that 50 scholarships of $500 each be made available next year to qualilied ' students to attend any four-year-non-profit college in Oregon. The law now restricts the scholarships to state schools. The proposal calls for 50 schol arships next year, and 100 the following year. Gov. Mark Hatfield's proposed budget calls for $75,000 for schol arships for the coming two years. CHRISTMAS TREES If You Want a Real Beautiful Tree This Year, Be Sure to Get It At BAKER'S.

Williams recom mended to the Highway Commis sion Monday that motor vehicles on Tolovana Beach, just south of Cannon Beach, be restricted to 15 miles an hour. The commission delayed action until today, when it heard a delegation of Portland-area res idents who want vehicles banned from the beach. These people own homes at the beach. Williams said county and city officials, as well as permanent residents of the Cannon Beach area, oppose a ban on vehicles. He also told the commission residents of other beach areas are waiting to see what the commis sion docs in this case. But he advised the commission against applying a 15-mile limit to all beach areas. 'We should deal with each case on its merits. If we can limit cars at this beach to 15 miles an hour, 10 or 12 arrests would be startling to the squirmers who menace people on the beach," Williams said. In other commission business. contracts for 20 contraction proj ects were awarded. Bids on them were opened Friday.

"At the risk of sounding anti- small business," Mack said, "1 think this will be favorable in the long run." He said large companies are better able to control the market, He said many small firms arc not able to resist market pres-! surcs, which he said accounted i for much of the present slow-. down.

Group Threatens Court In Opposing Oil Drilling PORTLAND (AP) - Opposition was forming today against a pro posal that would permit Shell Oil Co. to exclusively explore and drill for oil on the entire 600,000 acres of Oregon's state-owned off shore lands. A group of Oregon residents an nounced they will go to court, if necessary, to keep derricks from the previously untouched coastline. "Funds realized from oil ex plorations whether under the aus pices of Shell Oil or the state it self will never compensate for the ultimate destruction of our coast more can ever compensate for the ruination of one of the most beau tiful scenic areas in the United States," said a spokesman for the group, Don M. Swctland of Port land. Later, - stale Sen.-clect Vernon Cook, D-Gresham, said he had made an appeal to the Oregon Land Bpard to proceed without haste in negotiations with Shell. The board, composed of the governor, secretary of state, and state treasurer, said earlier it had entered into negotiations with Shell that would give the giant company exclusive rights to ex plore for oil on the offshore lands and exploit any discoveries. The board asked for an opinion on whether it could legally grant such a lease without competitive bidding, and Ally. Gen. Robert y. Thornton is studying it now. In a letter to the board, Cook said: "Wl.ilo wa all MMiflniTa tht ihn 5 discovery of oil in Oregon, and 5' particularly upon the state's tide jj land properties, would be a great j; boon to the people of Oregon, and J particularly to the schools of Ore K gon, undue haste on your part to tt enter into a contract with the first R applicant could well result in an unwarranted sacrifice of vast fl revenues to the Common School Fund.

He described the current reces sion in lumber and plywood mills as equally as bad as previous post-World War II recessions and added that some say it is as bad !as in the 11130s. "The trouble today is because of price." Mack said. "Neither industry has been able to adjust production fast enough to kecpl pace with the market." Gets Kitchens GOLD BEACH AP - Tho Curry Coiuity Civil Defense Agen cy has acquired two surplus field kitchens. Larry Parker, assistant direc tor, said the kitchens are for emergency feeding, and can be used to feed loo men each. The agency is trying to get a 20O-bed surplus field hospital, which would be stored in Brook ings. Record Receipts GOLD BEACH (AP) - Curry Countv will receive' a record $635,757 from Forest Service re ceipts this year. 1 lie amount represents 25 per cent of the receipts from sales of national forest timber In, the county. Of the total received, 75 per cent is earmarked for roads and 25 per cent for schools. (Dutch I oil company makes this particularly important." Cook said the offshore lands might prove to be worth billions of dollars. "There-should be no great hurry in granting oil exploitation rights. as, if there is oil in Oregon's tide lands, n win neither leave nor disappear. On the other hand, we must be extremely careful in the protection of the valuable prop erty rights of the people of Ore gon and a too generous contract with this company may perma nently rob the people of Oregon of vast sums of money." The board said earlier the pro posed lease with Shell stipulated that Shell would pay to Oregon royalties of 124 per cent. In Cali fornia, the state gets royalties ranging from 16',j to 50 per cent on oil produced on slate-owned lands. Cook told the board neither Shell nor any other firm should be given drilling and exploration rights until the forthcoming Legis lature has a chance to fully study both "the laws covering the let ting of oil exploitation contracts and the probable extent of this potentially invaluable property."

Racer Crashes Crowd, BUENOS AIRES (UPI - Men, women and children crowded the curbs of the traffic circle in sub urban San Justo. Good-naturedly they jostled one another for a belter vantage point to watch the racing cars whizzing by in the final lap of the Argen tine Grand Prix. They were in a holiday mood- it was Sunday and this was the windup of the 2,872.5-mile endur ance race which is one of the ma jor sporting events in Argentina Before the day was over, 16 of them were dead and at least 30 others injured. They waved and cheered and pushed onto the roadway as the drivers wrestled their racers around the circle and straightened out for the dash to the finish line miles away. Then Juan Carlos Navone, at the wheel of a stock car named 'Lucky Seven." roared into the circle. There were cheers for him too but they dissolved into shrieks of pain when , the racer; failed to make the curve. It slammed into the crowd. Thirteen persons were killed and 20 critically injured. It was the worst single accident in the 38 years of the running of the Grand Prix. When Navonc's car finally halt ed, leaving a path of crumpled bodies in its wake, his assistant driver jumped out. But he jumped back in when Navone dazed ly backed the car over some of the injured and dead and headed for the finish line.

Tuesday, December 13, 1060 and bits of flesh and clothing plastered to the car, there were1 angry shouts of "criminal, mur-1 derer, stop." The crowd then vented its anger on following rac ers, hurling stones as they came around the circle. Two policemen blamed "public imprudence" for the tragedy, be cause the spectators had edged onto the road. One said the crowd stood its ground as the car bore Man Tired Of Waiting; Smashes Court Windows LOS ANGELES (UPD-Hernan- do Pineros Garcia was plain tired of taking his hat in hand and softly asking officials about going back home to Colombia. He was biokc. And in his job as a laborer the Colombian immi grant saw little hope of ever sav ing the money he needed to re turn home. "I been here six years," said the 32-year-old Hernando Pineros Garcia. "I live like a dirty rat In a garbage can. 1 want to go back to Colombia but nobody listens "I go to the Bureau of Public Assistance nothing. I go to the police department nothing.

"They toll me without money I can not go home. Then the immigration department says they cannot help me leave the country unless I break the law.
