(AP Wire-photo) Weed Killer Case Reversed The Oregon supreme court todsy reversed a Multnomah county circuit court decree that awarded R. C. Start $11, 250 Judgment for damages to his lily bulbs at Canby, Ore. Start is a commercial grow er ot lily bulbs. On February ,16, 1948, He bought 200 gallons of chemical prepared by the Shell Oil com pany under the trade name of "Shell Weed Killtr No. 20." He claimed the agent, one Kjome, said it would destroy the weeds with no damage to bis bulblets. Start said the chemical ruined his entire crop of bulblets in 1948. He sued the Shell Oil company and C. Arntson and Arntson appealed from the award in the court of Circuit Judge James R. Bain. Justice Warner wrote: "It appears to use as contrary to the established law of agency, as well as extremely danger ous to the commercial world, to hold that a salesman, not shown to have any apparent or express authority other than that of taking orders for a chemical of powerful toxic content, has implied authority to make a warranty of such far-reaching import as plain tiff claims was made to him and thus expose his principal to liability for damages to the extent sought here.

Luxury Tissue at a Budget Price! pro 'III I Habeas Corpus Writ Demanded Contending that he Is being Illegally held in the stat peni tentiary under the habitual criminal act- Homer White, an inmata of the prison since late February, 1850, Tuesday filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in Marlon county cir cuit court. Judge Rex Kimmell Issued an order directing warden iClaranc Gladden to have White in court August 24. White, In his petition states "the cause and pretense of im prisonment, ... Is that on the 27th day of February, 1950, the circuit court ol Douglas county sentenced the plaintiff to im prisonment in the Oregon state penitentiary for a period of 20 yean as an habitual criminal." The illegality of the sentence. White declares is because "At no time prior to the imposition of the senttnee . . . was the petitioner charged with any prior convictions of felonies by information or otherwise, and hence there was and is no basis for sentencing plaintiff under the habitual criminal act." The records show that White was convicted of the crime of larceny of personal property of a value of more than S35 Feb.. 27- 1950 and was subse quently sentenced by Circuit Judge William o. Hart to a 20 year term. It Is alleged that White had been convicted three times of felonies prior to the crime of larceny.

The lower court found in favor of defendant Morrill. Tena Sleep appealed, and the supreme court tn an opinion written by Justice Walter L. Tooze, held "that under defen dant's own admissions plain tiff was entitled to a verdict in her favor. The only ques tion In dispute was the amount of damage." The .defendant fixed the cost of removal of the trees at S25 and the lowest estimate was $20, whereupon Justice Tooze wrote that the plaintiff was en title to at least $20. The case now goes back to Coos county. 589 More Casualties Washington ) The defense department Wednesday an nounced a new total of 142.- 294 U.
