Hundred Thousand Welcomers Nixon and his wife Pat then flew to Ireland's Shannon Airport where Prime Minister Jack Lynch told him: "I extend to you our traditional hundred thousand welcomes." Nixon responded: "There is no country in the world I would rather have a day off in than Ireland." Nixon quipped that an Irish background was essential for any successful American politi-can and added: "I am aware of the contribution of the Irish to America. Here in the green countryside, Nixon is meeting on Sunday with his top advisers on peace strategy.

The jet-traveling White House announced in advance that there would be no Vietnam pro-nouncement at this time. (Additional details on page 30.) It took two hours for the presidential motorcade to travel 35 miles from Limerick to Kilfrush House, the quiet country mansion where the Nixons will spend the weekend. Crowds gathered at numerous roadside stops. A young man stepped forward at one crossroad and introduced his bride of a few hours. Nixon took two roses from a bouquet presented to his wife at Shannon Airport and gave them to the bride.

Thousands Swarm Well after dark, thousands of people swarmed across the road in front of Nixon's car near the village of Hospital and stopped the motorcade for 10 minutes. The President got out of the car and mingled with the wellwish-ers while a bagpipe band played nearby. To a welcoming crowd at Kilfrush, he said Ireland was "a great country, vigorous, full of life and good humor. I like to see the Irish flag and American flag together. That's the way it should be." Ireland was the third country in a single day on the presidential odyssey.

From Spain in the morning he By LEWIS GULICK Associated Press Writer LIMERICK, Ireland (AP) President Nixon, suntanned and relaxed, flew into Ireland Saturday after joining" British Prime Minister Edward Heath in support of a 90-day extension of the Middle East cease-fire. The President, nearing the end of his nine-day tour of five nations, received a small but enthusiastic Irish welcome. Heavy security precautions were in force against demonstrators protesting the use of this pro-American but neutral nation as a site for Nixon's talks Sunday with his top advisers on Vietnam. A cluster of demonstrators tried to disrupt the reception when the President's motorcade reached Limerick, but police moved in on the group and Nixon did not notice the incident. Early Sunday morning a bomb exploded beneath a bridge Nixon's motorcade plans to cross Monday.

Police said the bomb was a crude, homemade affair and did little damage to the bridge in the northern Dublin suburb of Drumconda on the route to the airport. By RAY STOSE Statesman Outdoor Editor Dry, crackling debris underfoot and a hot sun overhead combined to give the deer a decided advantage over hunters as the 1970 buck deer season got underway Saturday. Hunting success was reportedly quite low for the opener. On the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge south of manager Dick Rogers reported fewer hunters than a year ago.

Only three bucks were taken at the refuge. "These deer are too smart and we don't have enough hunters to move them out of the brush," Rogers said. The Polk County sheriff's department reported lots of hunters out Saturday but few deer killed. In popular Central Oregon more than the usual number of hunters were seen but few were lucky enough to score. A spokesman for Valsetz store in that community high in the Coast Range reported seeing many hunters going through town but that he saw only one buck deer that day.

Two Opening Day Hunters Wounded By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A hunter accidentally shot his partner and another man shot himself as the Oregon deer season opened. Leonard A. Williams. 25, of Terrebonne, was shot in the right side by his companion, Edward Hath, 23, of Bend, as the two hunted at Haystack Reservoir south of Madras.

N.J., to receive the award at the IAPC annual convention today. Before leaving for the convention Meyers pointed out that as an honorable mention winner, Stovall was one of 11 finalists in a selection from thousands of police nominees nationally. Stovall was nominated for the award by Meyers on the basis of his career as a policeman and in community service, and, in particular his work in helping to solve the Jerome Brudos and Bobby Ray Robinson murder cases.

They By E. W. KENWORTHY (C) 1970 New York Times News Service WASHINGTON Dr. Edward E. David the President's new science adviser, announced Saturday that "very early in the next session" the administration would send legislation to Congress providing for governmental control, chiefly at the state level, over the location of new electric power plants and extra-high voltage transmission lines.

David made this annoucement in making public a study entitled "electric power and the environment" prepared by the Energy Policy Staff of the Office of Science and Technology. The staff is headed by S. David Freeman. David is director of O.S.T. in the White House.

The purpose of the legislation, David said, would be "to reconcile the need for electric power and the need to preserve our environment." The study, which provides the rationale for the legislation, JAMES W. STOVALL have two children, Mrs. Kenneth R.

WASHINGTON (AP) Win-the-war marchers, thousands strong, paraded their Vietnam victory banners down Pennsylvania Avenue Saturday.

The Rev. Carl Mclntire led the way, a victory chant on his lips and a Bible under his arm. U.S. Park Police estimated the crowd at Mclntire's Washington Monument victory rally at 15,000 to 20,000 people. The fundamentalist radio preacher had hoped to present South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky as the featured performer at a Washington Monument rally, but he was absent.

Ky did send a statement declaring his people "determined to stand firm in face of Communist aggression." Ky's wife, second choice as a stand-in, didn't make it either. The crowd was only a fraction of the 500,000 people Mclntire had estimated would rally in support of a win-the-war policy in Vietnam and a crusade against Communism everywhere. The crowd at the Monument adopted a series of resolutions offered by Mclntire, saying American prisoners of war should be rescued before any more U.S. troops are withdrawn, and declaring there should be "no compromise, retreat or surrender." Today's Chuckle Optimism is the ability to refer to "my car" when there are still 35 more payments due on it. states such reconciliation is needed because of the unanticipated growth in electric power use and the impact of power plants, both fossil fueled and nuclear, on the environment.

Electric power use in the United States, the report said, has been doubling every 10 years for several decades, and unless this historical rate of growth is slowed, electric power capacity may have to be tripled or quadrupled in the next 20 years. Because hydroelectric resources have largely been developed, steam power and nuclear plants must provide new growth. (Additional details on page 40.) Good Morning! Today In The Statesman Page Sec.

Donald M.

Viles of Garibaldi and M. Wayne Jensen Jr. of Tillamook say the carvings mark boundaries of a Spanish colony which existed 200 or 300 years ago. The carvings do not map buried treasure, they said. Viles and Jensen have been doing research for 15 years to Crash Kills 2 A Springfield man and his son were killed in a head-on traffic accident Friday night on the Santiam Pass that injured seven other persons.

Killed were Randall Ray Johnson, 32, and his son Randy, 14. State police said a pickup towing a jeep and driven by Michael Douglas White, 29, McMinnville, went out of control on a blind curve near 96 IIoSg Roc on Highway 20, and the oncom-ing Johnson auto collided with the vehicles about 8:45 p.m. Taken to St. Charles Hospital, Bend, were Johnson's wife. Thelma, 30, broken jaw; her daughter Christina Marie, 6, serious head injuries, Thelma Mitchell, about 23, and Norman Sirotex, 9 months, cuts and bruises.

All are from Springfield. Injured in the pickup, besides White who was given outpatient treatment, were Ricky James Arnold, 18. and Jack Alan Nesseth, 21, both McMinnville, who were hospitalized with non-serious injuries. Remoteness of the area and the number of persons involved slowed assembling of information. The deaths raised the Linn County 1970 fatality count to 36 and that for the five-county area to 97.

They told Curtis Baker, staff engineer for the state highway department, that they would not reveal the details at this time. Gov. Tom McCall sent Baker to Tillamook Friday.

McCall said he was concerned that the possible archaeological and historical find might need protection until further scientific study can verify it. Treasure seekers have been intrigued with the Tillamook County coastal area for at least 110. years, believing that pirate ships crashed there and that the stones mark buried treasure. The latest group of seekers, Tillamook Treasures, filled in this week holes they had dug in recent months in Oswald West State Park. allowed to seek a medical examination to determine his fitness to serve the police department.

Rice granted the request. The disciplinary actions came as a result of a car accident involving Downer and the handling of the accident by the other two officers. Specific details of the incidents were withheld pending possible civil service commission action. No charges were filed against Downer at the time of the Sept. 15 accident.

He was off duty at the time. No charges have been filed to date. City Attorney Willard Bodt-ker said Downer has seven days to appeal his dismissal to the Civil Service Commission. Disciplinary actions are based on an investigation of the accident and the events surrounding it carried out by the Oregon State Police. Albany Chief of Police Darrell Pepper requested the investigation.

Following the investigation, a board of inquiry was formed at Pepper's request. The board, which met for two days this week reviewing the matter and its participants, recommended the action to Rice. ALBANY (AP) An Albany police officer has been dismissed and two other members of the force have been involved in disciplinary action. Lt. Richard B.

Downer, 36, an officer on the force for 12 years, was given notice of immediate dismissal Friday by Albany City Manager Larry Rice. Downer was given five days to resign. A second officer, Cpl. Ray Chace, 40, was suspended for five days without pay beginning Saturday. He has been on the force three years.

The county's other three representative' spots are expected number Republicans on the poll books, but in Oregon that doesn't mean too much as far as electing people goes. The governorship and the Legislature are dominated now by Republicans and conservative Democrats.

Most attention this fall will be on the governor's race, where State Treasurer Robert Straub will try a second time to defeat Tom McCall, for the top post. McCall beat Straub. by a 5-4 margin the first time around, in 1966, but most observers expect the outcome to be closer this time. A public opinion poll before the primary put the two even. The big questions in the Legislature are whether the conservative coalition running the Senate will be broken up for ever, and whether the Democrats can eat away significantly at the House makeup.

Democrats would have to take nine seats, and hold on to the ones they had in the last session, to get control of the House. That is viewed as unlikely.
