Guilty, Avoids
Re-trial
ALBANY James Ion Quant
of Roseburg pleaded guilty to
negligent homicide charge in cir
cuit court Monday and was fined
$400, receiving also a 90-day sus
pended Linn county jail sentence.
Quant's plea came after it had
been arranged that the grand jury
indictment, returned against him
last September, be. dismissed and
that Quant would plead to infor
mation filed by the district attorney.
This arrangement was effected
after Quant had agreed to forego
a second trial on condition he be
freed from a charge ot being
drunk, an clement of the indict
ment. -
Accordingly the prosecutor omit
ted allusion to drunkenness in the
information he submitted to Judge
Victor Olliver. The information
included charges that Quant was
at fault in failing to keep his car
under control, in driving loo fast
and in failing to keep a proper
look-out. Both the indictment and
information charged negligent
homicide.
The case was thus settled with
out a jury, though a jury had
been assembled.
Quant's admission confessed re
sponsibility for the death of Lem
uel Everett Bittner, also of Hose-
burg, when Quant's car went out
of control on Pacific highway five
miles south of llalsey on July 23.
1955, while the two were hurrying
to witness an American Legion
junior baseball tournament game
in which a Hoseburg team was
participating. Quant was also in
jured but not seriously.
The car driver was tried last
October but the jury reported
itself deadlocked hopelessly on
Oct. 5.

Governors Forgot
To Endorse Nixon
By JACK BEIX
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Ifl -Vice
President Nixon turned up
today as the forgotten man of 20
Republican governors and White
House officials urging President
Eisenhower to run again.
Nixon's name was left off a
formal statement forwarded to
Eisenhower by GOP state exec
utives attending the 48lh annual
Governors Conference.
They expressed their "whole
hearted approval of the adminis
tration of our great Republican
President" and pledged "our full
support for his renomination and
re-election." -
GOP Gov. Fred Hall of Kansas,
who said he thought up the round
robin signed by all except absen
tee Gov. George N. Craig of In
diana, contended that the omission
of Nixon as a candidate for second
place on the ticket was merely
an oversight.
Former Gov. Howard Pyle of
Arizona, an Eisenhower aide who
got advance White House clear
ance on the statement, said it just
hadn't occurred to him that Nixon
wasn't to be mentioned.
Pyle said he had not seen the
text of the resolution before he
called White House aides who
obviously were headed by chief of
staff Sherman Adams to get
advance approval of the proposed
action by the Republican gover
nors. He said he got that approval
"in principle."
"I never saw the resolution
signed by the Republican gover
nors," Pyle said. "The question
of whether Nixon was mentioned
in it never came up as far as I
was concerned."
Eisenhower has said he would
be happy to run on any ticket that
included Nixon. But the omission
of Nixon's name from the GOP
resolution seemed to indicate the
vice president is not so highly re
garded among the GOP governors
or White House assistants as he
m-v be in other party circles.
This posed a practical political
prooicm tor Nixon: n .bisennower
should decide not to run again,
would Nixon be opposed by power
ful GOP governors and the White
House staff members for first
place on the ticket?
Hall denied, with some reserva
tions, that he left Nixon's name
off the GOP manifesto because of
any possible party opposition to
renomination of the vice president.
"I did not leave Nixon out be
cause I feared that some Repub
lican governors would, not sign the
paper with his name on it," Hall
said in an interview.
"The resolution was not intend
ed as an endorsement of the tick
et. It was just an expression of
the good will of the Republican
governors for the President. The
thought of Nixon was never in my
mind in drafting the resolution."
, Democratic Gov. John F. Simms
of New Mexico said that to him
the omission of Nixon's name from
the GOP resolution "merely ex
presses publicly their private lack
of confidence in Nixon."
