Wiley, them nnlira nffieer filerl Eugene $26,599 damage suit in circuit court Tuesday for injuries suffered in September, 1952 when his motor cycle collided with a car at 13th and Willamette Sts. The complaint said the defend ant, Mary K. Brown, was "care less and negligent" in "failing to stop (her car) to permit an emergency vehicle, giving audi ble siren, to pass." Wiley, patroling the streets on motorcycle, was answering a call on an injury accident in West Eugene at the time of the accident, the complaint said. The defendant "suddenly and negligently" turned to the left diagonally across the street in front of the motorcycle and collided with it, according to the complaint. At the time of the accident, Wiley was heading west on 13th Ave. and approaching the Wil lamette St. intersection. The mo torist was driving a short dis tance ahead of the motorcycle just before the accident oc curred, the complaint said. Wiley is asking $25,000 gen cral damages and $1,599.22 spe cial damages.

SCARLETT H E RTZ TwMsaul SYSTEM 7th & Washington Police Praise Radar Gadget Motorists travelling on arte- rials through Eugene are mostly driving within designated speed limits, thanks to the city's new radar system. That was the report issued by the Eugene police department Wednesday. Radar traffic control was instituted here a few days ago, and police cars and high ways have been marked to in dicate that radar is being used. The system is an electronics device which permits police to determine speed of moving ob jects with a minimum of error.. The police report Wednesday indicated that from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday a radar check was made at the south entrance to Eugene on Highway 99. During that hour and a half, 12 drivers were stopped for exceeding the 35 miles-per-hour speed limit there A few days before warning signs were posted to indicate ra dar was being used, police in a preliminary radar check at the south entrance were finding more vehicles entering the city in violation of the speed limit than they could handle. "The average speed there is now within the designated speed of 35 miles per hour," at least during this time of evening, po lice concluded. Vietnamese Silent As Firing Ceases SAIGON, Indochina Iff) Signing of the armistice Wednesday in Indochina's long war aroused mix ed feelings of anger and relief among the French and Vietna mese in Vict Nam s capital. But there were no demonstra tions and mass expressions of re joicing or sadness as it became known the guns which began blazing in 1946 were to be or dered silent at last. A spokesman for Premier Ngo Dinh Diem's government termed the agreement to divide Indo china's richest and most populous state with the Communists "dis astrous for the Vietnamese peo ple." 'NOW I CAN QUIT' But a Vietnamese sergeant seemed to speak for many others of his countrymen: "Good. Maybe now I can get out of the army and return to civilian life. Frenchmen appeared even more relieved. "We've had enough," said one Saigon businessman. "Either the United States decided to enter the war with her atomic weapons or else there had to be a cease-fire. Police Continuing McKenzie Investigation Oregon state policy Wednesday continued investigation of a bur glary Monday night at the Mc Kenzie Bridge Cafe at McKenzie Bridge. Owner Fred Harrison Wohlaib reported to police that 12 cartons of cigarettes, a leather jacket, several cartons of candy and gum, and baked hams and pies were stolen. Entry to the cafe was gained through a back door. RISING TEMPERATURE FIRE WEATHER PORTLAND im Lower humidi ties Thursday.

EMERGENCY SESSION Premier Diem called his cabin et into emergency session to study the Geneva agrceemnt. The spokesman for his govern ment termed the agreement inad equate. "We protest against the agree ment reached by the conference in which the representative of the Vietnamese government was not permitted to participate," he declared. The spokesman emphasized that the conference in its closing hours had ignored Vietnamese Foreign Minister Tran Van Do s last-min ute proposal that the United Na ions take over all of Vict Nam until nationwide elections could be held. Announcement of the cease-fire signing was heard by Indochincsc listening to their radios before going to work. But the Vietnamese went about their daily chores with seeming indifference. No one stopped on the street to discuss what had been expected for weeks. On Probation Earl M. Kynard, 24, 1035 Jef ferson St., Eugene, received six months probation in District Court Wednesday after pleading guilty earlier to a charge of passing checks without sufficient bank funds. Kynard pleaded guilty before Judge Chester N. Ander son Tuesday. TEMPERATURES II- ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours la 4:30 n.m. Wednesday Max. Mln.
