In a key passage, Nixon said: "I invite the leaders of the Soviet Union to join us in taking that new road to join of restraint and vision." Declaring he saw "no point in responding in kind to traditional cold war rhetoric," Nixon said he wanted to discuss American Soviet relations in terms "not of impossible dreams, but of possible deeds." i- For one thing, Nixon said that particularly in the Middle East, "it is imperative that the two major powers conduct themselves so as to strengthen the forces of peace Police VOL 63, NO. 148 CORVALLIS, OREGON.

And a would-be bomber doesn't have to steal dynamite for his terrorist tactic. All he has to do is walk into any place selling the stuff and plunk down his money no questions asked. There is nothing in Oregon law which prevents him from doing otherwise.

Some sections of Oregon law deal with explosives.

It's illegal, for example, to sell defective powder or fuses. The packages of dynamite must be stamped with the date of manufacture of the contents.
