Arch Wilson
To Switch City
Jobs on July 1
Th Stat num. Salem. Oraym, "thundaj. Jun 23, IZZl
Misunderstanding over the status
of Arch Wilson as a city of Salem
employe was cleared up Wednes
day by the city civil service com
mission.
He will switch July 1 from po
lice patrolman to engineering shops
yardman, as originally planned,
following doctor's reports that he
Is unable to do full police duty as
result of a duty accident two
years ago.
The commission and City Man
ager J. L. Franzen assured Wilson,
who had worried about job securi
ty in thepon-civil service engin
eering work, that as long as he
did the work properly he would
be retained.
Although Wilson had protested
his "discharge" by Police Chief
Clyde A. Warren, it developed
yesterday that he had asked that
method of release in the hope of
securing a disability pension from
the state retirement system. Until
he learns whether he is eligible,
the commission delayed the tech
nical decision as to whether he will
be discharged or granted a leave
of absence. The latter would en
title him to return to the police
work within one year if his phys
ical condition shows ample im
provement. The commission also heard the
protest of Charles Whittemore
gainst the "not in good standing"
label on his March resignation
from the fire department. It took
no action, however, since it had
asked the chiefs to label men who
resign as a guide to eligibility for
reinstatement and had accepted
the resignation last month.
Whittemore, who severely criti
cized top fire officials, said he was
not interested in possible return to
the department but only in clear
ing the "blot" from his record.
Mayor Alfred W. Louck.-: spoke up
t the meeting to protest allowing
the record to remain that way
unless the commission were con
vinced his side of the dispute was
torrect.
The commission learned of the
temporary appointment as police
patrolmen of Calvin John Stew
ard, George E. Weaver, Richard
Harding Wallace and William L.
Marker; of the completion of pro
bation by Thomas Giles, fireman;
moving of G. Noffsinger from pro
tern fireman to permanent appoint
ment and of Ronald A. Harlan to
fireman pro tern.
Supreme Court
Reverses Libel
Suit Decision
The Oregon Supreme Court rul
ed 3 to 2 Wednesday that a $20,000
libel suit against the Salem Capital
Journal should go back to Marion
County Circuit Court for a new
trail.
The suit, brought by John E.
end Robert E. Marr, radio repair
men, was dismissed on nonsuit by
Circuit Judge Ralph S. Hamilton
af Deschutes County before it was
to go to the jury.
The majority opinion, by Jus
tice Hall S. Lusk. said the case
ihould have been submitted to the
jury.
In dissenting opinions. Justices
George Rossman and Earl C. La
Taurette said the case should have
been dismissed. Justices Arthur L.
Hay and Walter J. Tooze did not
participate.
The Capital Journal ran a news
try Dec. 4, 1946, warning the
public against operators of a "ra
dio racket" in which radios were
picked up for repair work. No
Barnes were mentioned in the
Itory.
John and Robert Marr, then
Students at Willamette University,
ield the $20,000 libel suit, claim
ing the story was aimed at them.
Justice Lusk said in the major
ity opinion that the effect of the
decision does not recognize liabil
ity. He said "It means merely
that the plaintiffs have made out a
case sufficient to be submitted to
the Jury. The question of liabil
ity will be for the jury to detrmine
kfter a trial on the merits."

The state highway department-
win spend approximately $60,000,
D00 In road construction and bet
terments during the year, ending
Bept. 1, W. C. Williams, assistant
?tate highway engineer, reported
Wednesday.
Williams said this construction
K'ould set an all-time record in
Dregon and would be accomplish
id in spite of a shortage of ex
perienced highway engineers. He
dded that while few engineers
re available the current staff of
the department has been working
long hours to keep apace with the
construction program. Much of the
new construction was made possi
ble because of a bond issue of
$4 000,000 approved by the 1951
legislature.
Among other factors tending to
expedite construction operations,
Williams said, is the competition
among contractors and the high
type of firms which have received
the contracts. Prior to approval of
the latest bond issue by the Legis
lature construction operations sel
dom exceeded $20,000,000 a year,
iccording to Williams.
Williams said new contracts ag
gregating $8,000,000 would be
awarded at the next meeting of
the state highway commission in
Portland.
