Attractive Portland Girl Gets
Trip to Paralyzed Ex-Husband
Portland, Ore., Dec.
(U.R) A Christmas wish by attractive
Joan Tieerstrand Grunden. 20, of Portland has been answered
by the "Santa Clauses" at the Birmingham, Lam., veterans
hospital. '
The men sent word to Joan her travel and living expenses
would be taken care of while
she visited her bed-ridden ex
husband, 20-year-old Jack Grun
den, to discuss plans for their
remarriage.
Grunden, nearly completely
paralyzed, was shot in the back
and elbow last year by a Russian
soldier who had ordered the
Americans off a Vienna side
walk. The wound caused partial
paralysis to his left arm. Last
the largest of the six. It lies
west of Broadway street. The
other five areas are generally
south of the present city limits,
including a portion of the Sun
rise district.
788 Oregon Drivers' Licenses
Revoked for Drunken Driving
The drivers' licenses of 188 Oregon motorists were revoked
in November after their possessors had been convicted of driv
ing while intoxicated, the office of Secretary of State reported
today.
An additional 64 licenses were suspended for offenses rang
ing from careless driving to vio
lation of the new school bus
1 stopping law.
During November a total of
2,819 convictions for moving
traffic violations were added to
individual driving records after
being reported by the courts con
cerned. The office pointed out that
under Oregon law, revocation of
license is mandatory upon con
viction of driving while intoxi
cated. However, said Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry, the num
ber of convictions is low consid
ering the frequency and gravity
of the offense.
He said that frequently a
charge of driving while intoxi
cated is reduced to a lesser one
of reckless driving, to which the
offender will more readily plead
guilty.
Some jurisdictions, Newbry
said, accompany nearly every
conviction with a recommenda
tion for license reinstatement.
He said that while his office
does not have to accept such
recommendations, it cannot in
vestigate every case and must
usually assume the request is
justified.
Lack ot uniformity in handl
ing and disposing of traffic vio
lations is annoying to the public,
the secretary of state declared,
and often defeats the efforts of
officers who are conscientiously
trying to enforce the law.
Newbry added that many traf
fic deaths every year are caus
ed by drunken drivers who man
aged to keep their licenses de
spite long records of violation.
He cited the case of a 22-year-old
driver whose license had
been suspended twice and re
voked twice, being restored each
time upon recommendation of the
court. Despite this record, a
third conviction of drunken
driving was accompanied by an
other recommendation for reinstatement.

August Jack suffered a serious
spinal injury, leading to paral
ysis from the chest down, in a
Portland automobile crash that
killed one of the other passen
gcrs. Grunden was on his way
to talk over reconciliation with
Joan.
They were married last New
Year's day, but they separated
six months later.
Since then both have indicat
ed their desire to get together
again and make another try of
it. But finances have bottle-
necked the attempt. Joan was
out of work, and Jack was told
he could not leave the parapleg
ic ward of the hospital for a
Christmas in Portland.
Joan had barely enough money
scraped together to pay her bus
fare to Los Angeles.

"We have to think of finan
ces before we can be remarried.
Joan said, "I've been looking for
work for a month now, and I
have done general office and
drafting clerk work before then.
We don't have anything to live
on now.
