(JP) Last summer's confusion over daylight saving time might result in declar ing illegal the consolidation of two Clatsup county school districts. The state supreme court Tues day ordered Judge Howard K. Zim merman of Astoria ta hold a new trial in the consolidation case, with emphasis on the daylight aaving angle. The districts, Clatsop county dia tricta Noa. 3 and IS, were consoli dated into Gearhart district IS. The election was held last May 2 from 7 to 9 p. m., daylight time. Harry Webb and Claude Huckle berry, two taxpayers, attacked the legality of the election. Huckle berry, who said he runs on stand' ard time, got to the polling place too iai, and that trie order uxing the election houra on daylight time plus deprived him of hia vote. He ssid he thought the 7 to p. m meant atandard time. Judge Zimmerman ruled out this contention, and upheld the elec lion. But Tuesday's supreme court de cision by Justice Arthur D. Hay ordered the new trial. Judge Hay pointed out that atan-1 ard time waa in use on most of the state last summer, and that there wasn't any local ordinance adopting daylight .aaving time And the decision also cast doubts on whether it would have made any difference even had there been a local daylight saving ordinance Auto Dealers Lese In -nother case, the high court ruled that Portland automobile dealera must pay the new city tax on retailers and wholesalers. Six automobile dealers brought suit, contending they are not re tailers or wholesalers, and that the taxea are unconstitutional. Two weeks ago. the high court ruled the taxea were constitutional in another case. Tuesday'a decision, by Justice J O. Bailey, ruled that automobiit dealera are retailers or whole salers. It upheld Circuit Judgs Jamea W. Crawford of Portland Candidacy For Reelection Filed By Rep. Ellsworth (Continued from page One) U.S. Defenses Best Ever In Peace, Truman Claims (Continued from page One) down on "excessive overhead and waste." Johnson submitted his figures to the House armed services commit tee with the comment that they form a part of his first semi-annual report to Congress, due in about three weeks. The revised budget ceilings for the 1950 fiscsl year ending next June 30 Johnson reported, total $12,663,000,000. Congress appropri ated $13,900,000,000 for the current year, including $736,000,000 to in crease the air force from 48 to 58 groups. The President froze this item and Johnson did not list it as an economy. Pay Increases Absorbed In addition, Johnson said;-the department has absorbed another $592,000,000 in the costs of -meeting military pay increases voted last year, operating and winding up tne Berlin air lilt last July ana August, the expense of mothballing ships and installations and getting the nationwide radar screen atarted. Using the President's 1950 budg et request of $14,218,000,000 as a basis, Johnson said the overall estimated total of "savings, re ductions and absorptions" will be $1,592,000,000 for the year ending June 30. Mere Power Listed Johnson said that navy strength has been increased by three at tack carriers, three air groups, one cruiser, one battleship and a 200 percent raise in money for anti-submarine warfare. Other changes listed included: part in the consideration of na tional and international problems, Ellsworth has devoted considerable time to problema and projects vital to Oregon and the West. He is credited with sponsorship of the plant at Springfield, Oregon, to pro duce alcohol or molaasea from waste and waa instrumental in the establishment of the great Bureau of Minea laboratory at Albany, Billa introduced by Congressman Ellsworth and passed by Congress include tne authorization for the forest survey and expansion of the Clark-McNary Forest protection authorization. He sponsored the bill in the House which converted the Camp White army hospital into a domiciliary home for veterans and another bill which opened the Ore gon and California revested land grant landa for mining entry and exploration. Ellsworth has been active in se curing appropriations for the com pletion of the Willamette flood con trol project, rivers and harbors projects, and for the expansion of the Bonneville power system. ".ongressman Ellsworth states that he will be unable to leave Washington while Congress is in session to make a primary campaign, but seeks the nomina tion on his record of good service.

He said economies worked out since last August also would mean 700.000 more combat plane flying houra for the navy and increase army equipment procurement by $41,000,000 in fiscal 1951. ly concerned over the spreading economic effects of the coal pro duction atoppage had placed nign hopea on the contempt case aa a meana of geting the miners back to work. There are Indications the gov ernment may now turn to aeizure of the mines unless there is a quick contract agreement that gets coal production going again. President Truman, in response to questions, confirmed at a newa conference today that seizure plana have been drawn up. Deprecating their significance, he said plana are always drafted, covering all the President's powers. But one report wss that the plana were completed only yes terday and were designed specifi cally to deal with the present sit uation. The Evening Star aaid the administration plan ia to ask Con gress for a law permitting seizure if all other efforts to get cosl pro duction have failed by early next week. While the terms offered by the union and the operators in the coal dispute have never been made pub lic officially, they reportedly break down this way: The United Mine Workera are said to be seeking: A wage increase from the pres ent basic rate of $14.05 a day to $15 or more. A 15-cent boost in the present 20-cent-a-ton royalty paid by the operators into the miner's welfare fund. A work day of 7'i houra, instead of the present t hours. The, mine owners are understood to have proposed: A "package" increase of about 80 cents a day per miner, as op posed to the union's demands, es timated to total over $1.80. "Cenjecture" Not Evidence Judge Keech said In his decision that: "It may be that the masa strike of union members has been or dered, encouraged, recommended, instructed, induced, or in some wise permitted by means not ap pearing in the record: but this court may not convict on conjec ture, being bound to act only on the evidence before it, which is in sufficent to support a finding of either criminal or civil contempt." Judge Keech a written opinion said there was no clear evidence that the union had failed to obey his strike end order. The judge ssid that this case was different from the 1948 contempt conviction of the UMW. He pointed out that the union in 1948 made no attempt to restore coal production as ordered by a court grant. In the current strike. Keech said there was the different situation: Following the court a order in the instant case, various telegrams, letters and other communications were sent by the union to its dis trict and local branches and mem bers, instructing the miners to re turn forthwith to work. "This court does not hold that any telegram or combination of telegrams or letters would consti tute a good faith compliance with order directing action on the parrot the union. "It does hold that, where the union has sent communications such as are included in this rec ord, the apparent good faith of such communications must be con troverted not by mere suspicion based on failure to obtain results, but by clear and convincing evi dence, if they are to be ruled by a Moryla Jonas Arrive For Conetrt Tonight Maryla Jonaa, Polish pianist who will appear in concert tonight at I o'clock on the Roseburg Junior high school stage, arrived in town Wedneaday, Miss Jonas, now on her fourth North American tour, will present a program consisting of Handel's Passacaglia: Mozart'a Sonata in A Major, K.331; Beethoven's So nata Op. 27, No. 2, and Schubert's waltzea.
