Sackett seek dismissal of charg es against him. Five charges in connection with misuse of public money have been filed against Sacketi. He was first indicted last May. Then in August additional information was pre sented to a grand jury and three indictments were returned. He was tried in October on one of the charges but the jury failed to agree and retrial was set for March Robert Lees, one of Sackett's at torneys, said Monday that Circuit Judge E. H. Howell had been asked to dismiss all of the charges because Sackett was not given a speedy trial. He said Sackett had a right to be tried at the same term of court in which he was ' indicted unless there was good rea- j son lor delay. He said good reason was lacking. The Kuhnhausen decision by the Supreme Court used that reason ingshe was available for trial at Oregon City in April but was not tried until the July term, so the court ordered her freed. Simpler Procedure For Pilots Offered Announcement has been made by the Civil Aeronautics Admin istration of a simple faster pro cedure for private pilots to ob tain medical certificates. Under the new plan the tem porary third class medical certi ficates issued to student and pri vate pilots, will be good for two I years, unless recalled by an au- j thorized representative of the CAA within 90 days. j Previously, physicians other than CAA-dcsignate medical ex aminers could issue temporary ! certificates good for only 30 days. I After reviewing their findings, CAA issued the two-year certi ficates. Designated medical examiners! will continue to issue the two-! year certificates without the 90-1 day stipulation. Non-designated I physicians are to report their findings to the CAA, where they will be reviewed within the 90- day period and the pilots notified ; only if recall of the certificate j is necessary. Chicago Grain CHICAGO Soybeans soared nearly 10 cents a bushel to the highest prices in three years in active dealings on the board of trade Tuesday. Buying in soybeans in part re flected strength in soybean oil and meal. The meal was quoted at $01 00 to $82.00 a ton in the cash market, a new peak for 19M and up about $10 00 from the start of the year. Wheat also was quite firm, al though not matching the eains in soybeans. All new crop wheat fu tures set new seasonal highs on buying altrihuted in part to re ceipt of more dust storms in the winter wheat belt over the week end.
