DALLAS, Ore., June 28-;Pr-Albert
Earl RosBer, 4 4-year-old
former head of Oregon AFL team
sters; went on trial In Polk coun
ty circuit court today bn an arson
charge In connection with the de
struction of two lumber company
plants at West Salem on Novem
ber 20.
"Today's four-hour session be
fore Judge Arlie G. Walker was
devoted to selection of a Jury.
Eight men, all farmers, were
passed for cause today and three
were excused because they had
opinions concerning the guilt or
innocence of Rosser.
Attorneys expected the jury
would be selected by tomorrow
noon.
Rejects Motion
To Oust Moody
Judge Walker rejected the mo
tion of Defense Attorney Charles
Robison, Portland, that Ralph
Moody, former assistant attorney
general and now special prosecu
tor appointed by GoTernor Mar
tin, not be permitted to serTe as
special deputy to District Attor
ney Bruce Spaulding.
Robkison .contended that the
constitution proTides a deputy
district attorney must be a resi
dent of the county in -which he
serres. Moody lives in Marion
county. Spaulding argued that a
special court proceeding would
bare to be brought to oust Moody.
Judge Walker also 'overruled
Robinson's bojectlon to Oscar
Hayter, Dallas attorney appointed
by Spaulding to assls tin the pro
secution. George Vanderveer, Seattle la
bor attorney assisting Robinson,
questioned each of 'the prospec
tive jurors as to whether he ob
jected to labor unions, if he had
ever belonged to a union or if he
had formed any opinions about
the case.
Ilosser Takes
Uttle Interest
Rosser, who has been in jail
since February 9 in lieu of $100.
000 bail, took little interest in
the examination of jurors. He
thowed little effects of prison
life, the tall, partially-bald de
fendant being n good spirits.
Albert N. Banks. Salem team
ster official, was sentenced to 12
years In the penitentiary by Judge
Walker on a similar charge. He
admitted hiring three men to set
the fire. John Newland, Cecil
Moore and Ernest Carson, all of
Portland, pleaded guilty to set
ting the fires, but they have not
been sentenced.
Forty persons have been sen
tenced to jail or the peniten
tiary since the state began its la

CHICAGO. June 28-iiP)-The
greatest reduction in traffic fatal
ities of the year a 27 percent
drop in May was reported today
by the National Safety council.
May was the seventh consecut
ive month through which the
downward trend in motor vehicle
deaths continued.
Statisticians figured 3,780 lives
were saved during that period.
May deaths totaled 2,280 com
pared with 3,120 in the same
month In 1937.
During the first five months of
this years 11,100 lives vere lost
along streets and highways in
contrast to the 14,090 recorded
during a similar period last year.
Travel Increases
"Another encouraging fact."
the council stated, "is that the
reductions cannot be attributed
to decreased travel. Available
data on gasoline consumption
show that during the first four
months of this year, during which
deaths dropped 20 percent, travel
actually increased 3 percent.'
Most of the states shared in
the general improvement, Ver
mont showed the greatest per
