Lipscomb Gets
Best of Court
Jack Lipscomb, wrestler, un
der arrest on a body execution
as outgrowth of an old damage
action, was before Judge E. M.
Page in circuit court Monday
morning to answer under oath
as to any property he might
own. All his answers were to
the effect he owned no proper
ty but an automobile, and that
the automobile was pledged to
meet another debt. Judge Page
ordered the defendant's dis
charge, but did so reluctantly.
'I have had this man up here
before but he pays no attenr
tion to the orders of the court,"
said Judge Page. "If I was in
a position to punish him for
contempt of court, I'd do so, but
I'm not in that position. He
thinks he is above the court
and I am in the position that
I'm afraid he is. I doubt if I
have any authority to punish
him for contempt. If I had such
authority I'd keep him in jail
for awhile, but, as it is, I or
der him discharged."
Lipscomb was arrested in
Portland brought-here to answer
under oath as to his property
holdings.
It all grew out of an incident
at a wrestling match at the
armory back in 1940. Lipscomb,
who was one of the wrestlers,
dropped into the lap of Ernest
Smith, one of the spectators.
The chair under Smith collapsed
and part of the chair stuck into
Smith's back. A damage action
brought a judgment of $2070
against Lipscomb but efforts to
collect it, including this last
one, have resulted in failure.

Forresfal Visits
Eisenhower
Gen. Eisenhower's Headquar
ters, Aug. 21 UP) Secretary of
the navy James V. Forrestal
came away from a conference
with Gen. Eisenhower today
"tremendously impressed" with
the spirit of cooperation which
he said the supreme comman
der has fostered among the
British and Americans and their
allies.
"What he has done in the way
of resolution between us and
the British and all our allies
is a great example for the
rest of the world," Forrestal
told a brief news conference.
The secretary came here af
ter watching landings in south
ern France. He left this morn
ing to visit Cherbourg. In his
enthusiastic praise of Gen. Ei
senhower, Forrestal said:
"The confidence of both sides
in his fairness has been main
tained because he pursues one
idea: the winning of the war.
Everything else Is secondary. It
is a palcrn of cooperation which
could well be continued lifter
the war.
"Gen. Eisenhower hasn't sold
out to the British in any sense
of the word. His main theme
has been: 'What is the one
thing we can do to win the
war?'
"When he met me this morn
ing, he started talking about
the fine job the navy was do
ing. His generosity of spirit
compels cooperation. We have
the same kind of figure in Ad
miral Nimilz in the Pacific.
These men Just don't think de
structively -except in terms of
Germans and Japs."

. '. -T
tory of republican organization
out of the 3(1 in the state are
declared Chairman Neil Allen,
placed Allen in nomination.
The only fight that developed
and that was devoid of much
bitterness, said Lewis, was over
the vice chairmanship and two
women were in the wrangle. It
appeared that in Mrs. John Y,
Richardson's own county, the
Multnomah delegation were
against her and favored Mrs.
Frederick Young, also of Port
land. Both women had many
delegates to second their nomi
nation but when the votes were
counted Mrs. Richardson was
returned to office by a count of
41 to 20. It was stated also
that some of the committee
women from the Willamette val
ley counties were active In the
interest of Mrs. Young.
One humorous Incident oc
curred during the afternoon ses
sion Saturday when it was dis
covered that Chairman Allen
had been using a coat hanger
for a gavel so the alert Young
Republican club of Salem came
to the rescue and Adam Lefor
of Salem presented the chair
man with a real "Come to or
der" article. ,
Chairman Lewis of Marion
was pleased with the recogni
tion of this county in the al
lotment of membership on oom
mittees. John Carkin was ap
pointed chairman of the by-laws
committee: Charles Bollinger,
chairman on resolutions; James
Wilson, chairman of the first
district congressional commit
tee and Violet Ramsby Dick,
North Howell, secretary of same
committee.
The Masonic temple In Port
land was practically filled for
the address of Congressman
Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois
who arrived by plane from
Washington Friday evening,
Dirksen's address was outstand
ing and Chairman Lewis will
endeavor to have him come to
Salem later in the oampangn.
He is noted throughout tha
country as a speaker and he
pulls no punches in assailing tha
many misgivings of the present
administration. There was
much disappointment when It
was explained that the Dirksen
address would not be broad
cast; the committee had sent out
notices that it would be but ra
dio stations could not allow the
time that was sought for the
broadcast. Mayne Morse, who
spoke at the morning sossion
Saturday, will appear at the Ro
tary club in Salem Wednesday.
