Milk Board Order
Will Take Effect
Immediate Price Changes
Uiuiaci.iuuugu.
?Board Keeps Mum .
Will the price of milk go up to
day, time set by the state milk
control board, for its Salem mar
fket order to go back into effect?
Reticence of dairymen ahd si
lence from the board made it Im
possible to answer that (juestioa
with certainty last night, but
there were strong Indications that
local distributors' might continue
the lower prices prtTailing smce
last September at least until the
hearing promised by the board is
keld. ..
Several distributors who hare
been selling at 10 cents a quart
aid last night they contemplated
no raise this morninr, And the
manager of one of the largest Sa
lem grocery storea said he had re
ceived hq notice from the.dlstrlb-
Utors CI a raise in price, wnerene
'such notice li costomary befor i a
r price advance. li- v". &
"1 don't believe prices will be
raised right away," . said one
prominent producer - distributor
last nfght. J'TliB mUk boird has
consented, to glTe . us a hearing
just as soon as possible on a new
price schedule and I think the
dalnmen may keep the present
prices, even, though this would be
in defiance of the board's orderf
Since n-j new price schedules
have been released by the board,
presumably the orders require the
price of 11 cents for 4 per csnt
milk, the schedule In effect last
September when the orders were
suspended. .
At least one producer-distributor
has never lowered his prices,
and one large producer Just en
terics the retail market said be
would follow the board's orders
concerning prices.

Jury Deadlock
Is Outcome of
Weddle'sTrial
Case Ponderedfor More
! .Thau.Nine Hours but
' no Verdict Found
Self -Defense Version ; Is
Stressed by Connsel,
Final Argument
Trial of William . F Weddle,
Jefferson district farmer, on
charge of shooting,. his neighbor.
Albert F. Costelow, ended at
12: IS o'clock this morning when
the circuit court Jury which had
been hearing the case since last
Tuesday reported to. Judge L. H.
McMahan that It was hopelessly
divided. .
Since the Jurors had been de
liberating over the case for IH
hours. Judge McMahan accepted
their report and dismissed them.
The state had charged that
Weddle was guilty of an assault
when he shot Costelow In the legs
last January 19 as a result of a
right of way dispute, and the de
fense had alleged in return that
Weddle shot in self defense, be
lieving Costelow armed.
Morning and afternoon . ses
sions of the trial yesterday
brought out opposing counsels'
versions of the Incident.
Right-of-Way Used
23 Tears, Claimed
Defense Attorney Walter E.
Reyes asserted that for more than
23 years Weddle had used the
right of way In question, which
leads to a 6 0-acre tract which he
owns, without Interference from
Costelow or previous owners.
He reviewed events of April 17,
1939, when Costelow Is alleged
to have knocked Weddle down in
a chapter of the same dispute, and
affirmed that Costelow made at
that time threats to kill Weddle
should the latter again use the
disputed right of way.
"Weddle had the rlgbt to pro
tect himself, his property and his
life." the attorney declared.
Keyes . had earlier denounced
Implications by the state that
Weddle, whom he described as a
man of good, and respected char
acter could . suddenly become a
cold-blooded gunman; shooting his
neighbors without mercy.
Defense -attorney ; Arthur K.
McMahan, in his plea, made sim
ilar reference to Weddle's rep
utation for honesty, calmness and
consideration.
"You may. depend on It," he
said, "if the defendant's reputa
tion had been otherwise tbe state
would have had plenty of wit
nesses to show It. -Deliberate
Attack,
Pel ton Declares
Deputy District Attorney Joseph
B. Felton, who began the state's
plea for conviction of the defen
dant, affirmed that the shooting
was a calculated and .deliberate
attack, which was not committed
in a reasonable effort at self-defense.
He denied that, as the defense
had averred, Weddle was reason
ably Justified In believing Cost
elow armed by reason of his
'crouching posture and an alleged
protrusion of his macklnaw Jack
et at a point where a gun would
have been placed. Felton later
noted that the shot which Injured
Costelow penetrated his left leg,
