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

Charles Mack, chairman of the'Bovcrnment are as important, if
Oregon Tax Commission, told the not more important, than the col

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

SALEM (AP) - State Highway
Engineer W. C. 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.

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:

of this labor has bee,n absorbed!
into other segments of the Indus
try.
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."

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."

FALCON HEIGHTS SCHOOL pioneers poured out of their

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.
As Navone sped off, with blood
