$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.

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.

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

Sun to Shine
On Thursday
01' Sol will cease his flirtatious
neglect of the Emerald Empire
Thursday and stay on the job all
day, according to Wednesday's
forecast by the Eugene Weather
Bureau station.
A trace of precipitation meas
ured at the Mahlon Sweet Airport
station Tuesday night may have
convinced the big beamer that his
summer reign was threatened
here with another of different
spelling.
Whatever the motivation, the
weatherman got advance notice
that the sun was coming out Wed
nesday afternoon with intentions
of chasing clouds from skies
for at least 24 hours. Tuesday's
cool 63-degrcc temperature maxi
mum was expected to be followed
with a Wednesday high of 74
and a balmy 78 on Thursday.
