The State Unemployment Com pensation Commission reports that as of July 1, the number seek ing work in the state increased to 42,000 as compared with 39, 800 a month before and 30,900 a year ago. The Portland tri-county area " continued to account for more than half of the unemployed with 22,300, but Salem with 3700 and Eugene with 3300 both reported increases. For the first time in more han eight years at this sea son, labor surpluses were report ed in every agricultural area.

Eleven women and a man Monday afternoon deliberated about an hour and decided that Stableman Clarence C. Fairbanks was negligent, $2000 worth, when he rented to 20-year-old Norbin Arch Lambert a saddle horse that was "barn sour." During the trial which had consumed nearly a week in Judge G. F. Sklpworth's circuit court, the jurors had heard a parade of witnesses discuss the mare Flossie and her propensity for going back to the barn on any or no provo cation. Some said Flossie was barn balky, some said she wasnt'. The jury decided that Flossie was at least unruly, and that her owner knew It, or should have known It, and was therefore at fault when he hired Flossie out to Lambert.

Broadway Board to Study Stale Taxes SALEM (IP) The State Board of Control has ordered a complete tax investigation. It will be conducted by the State Tax Commission, Budget Director Harry Dormant S. W. Starr, chief of audits; and Fred H. Paulus, deputy state treasurer. They will study the present tax structure, Investigate new tax sources, equalize taxes on income, inheritances and gifts: and study 'whether all tax money should bs 1 put In the state s general fund. xney will report to the board by July 1, 1950, and the board will then present the findings to the Legislature. A legislative interim committee also is making a similar study. The study was proposed by State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson. The board also directed its sec retary to study whether tho budgets of the state institutions can be cut because of declining prices Group Opens Inquiry On Anti-Trust Law WASHINGTON U.R A ! House Judiciary subcommittee has I launched an investigation of big business operations under the federal anti-trust laws. Subcommittee Chairman Eman uel Celler (D-N.Y.) said the in vestigations will study railroad I and insurance rates and chain store operations, among other things. Attorney General Tom C. Clark and Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) were scheduled to be the first witnesses. Flossie couldn't have testified anyway, because she was fatally injured in the accident which In jured Lambert's foot and caused the action, the night of March 15, 1847. Lambert, with three compan ions, had rented horses of Fair banks, and started out on ride along Highway 99 N. Just after leaving the stable, Flossie was struck by an auto driven by Dean L. Curry. The principle issue of the case was whether the accident was Curry's fault, Lambert's fault, or Flossie's fault, and if Flossie was to blame, whether her' owner knew that she might become"un manageable and bolt for the bam. Hale Thompson, Lambert's at torney, argued that Lambert was without fault himself, and that he hired the horse, the stableman was under a duty to provide him with a gentle horse that wouldn't hurl itself into the path of on coming traffic. Thompson also argued that Curry was negligent in hitting the horse when Flossie started cutting up on the highway. David B. Evans, Fairbank's at torney, contended that Lambert was contributorily negligent in failing to control .the horse, and introduced evidence tending to show that Lambert was riding in an unhorsemanlike fashion. The defense also introduced two boys, eight and nine years of age, who claimed they had had no trouble with Flossie. But the plaintiffs had evidence that Flossie had changed hands a number of times during her career, and that her previous owners had noted a marked re luctance on Flossie's part to leave the barn. Once having left the home barn, they said, Flossie generally lost no time in getting back to it. Attorney Edward A. Butler for Defendant Curry maintained that Curry was just driving down the road minding his own business, and not contemplating horse leaping into his path, and there fore should not be held. The Jury decided that Curry was -not at fault. At the conclusion of the evi dence and argument, there were a number of questions for the Jury, and Judge Skipworth gave lengthy instruction in the law of negligence, contributory neglige ence, proximate cause, basic rule (as to Curry's driving) and the measure of damages. Lambert had sought $15,000 general damages, and certain special damages which were stricken from the case because he failed to introduce evidence to support his claim for hospital and doctor bills.

The action does not mean the end of the present "freeze" on new station applications, FCC said. The new bands are in the "ul tra high frequencies." They would be out of reach of television re ceivers now in the public hands, unless converters are attached to sets. The commission said the present 12 television channels, in that sec tion of the spectrum known as the "very high frequencies," will be continued. The action is the first formal step looking to the end of the freeze which the commission Ae- clared on new television station permits last October 1.
