probably grows out of the fact that
SEO and FRB have been getting
hard-boiled. Equally disturbing are
the unsubstantial rumors that the
capital gains tax will be altered.
Then, on top of these two, they are
reviving that old one about a war
In Europe, which will upset things
here.
Both the talk and the rumors arc
probably not as serious as they sound.
The new dealers are tip against the
problem of keeping a rising business

getting out of hand. They seem to

JUDGE TO WEIGH
IN MESSAL CASE
Lester J. Messal, 28, of the Lake
Creek district, this morning entered
A. plea to a grand Jury Indictment
charging failure to stop at the scene
of en auto accident. Circuit Judge
H. D. Norton took the matter under
advisement until next Monday morn
ing when a decision will be reached.
Mesnal Is specifically charged with
being the driver of the auto that
on the night of September 13 lost
struck and killed Everett J. Thomp
son on the Pacific highway near Tal
ent. Messal pleaded extenuating cir
cumstances, claiming that Thompson
Jufped in front of the auto when
Messal was blinded by .lights or an
approaching car. " "
'A petition, signed by 45 residents
of the Lake Creek district and a num
ber of local residents, sought leniency
for Messal. ,
1 In a statement by Attorney -Don
Newbury, representing Messal, It was
shown that the defendant In early
youth had undergone five near ma
jor operations that left him "un
nerved," and "that his powers of
Judgment had been affected." Affi
davits to tills effect wero filed by
Messal 's parents and bis former
school teacher. Neighbors testified
to the good character of the defend
ant. ' '
It was also brought out that Mes
sal la the father of an Infant child,
now seriously 111.
The court, In explaining Us posi
tion, stated:
"It la evident that the grand ury,
in returning the Indictment which It
did, found extenuating circum
stances and under It the defendant
cannot be deemed 1U any wise guilty
of the death of this man. The law
permits a wide range of punishment.
Safety of the public Is the first
thought of the court. The matter of
highway killings is becoming a seri
ous problem and unless the courts
invoke a stricter enforcement of the
laws It will become more serious.
"It Is evident from the statements
her this morning that Messal la not
temperamentally fitted to drive an
auto. The court desires to devote
more thought to the question of
punishment and consult with offi
cials. Therefore, we will finally de
termine the matter next Monday,"
In a statement to the district at
torney, Messal admitted striking
Thompson and failure to stop at tho
flfene. At tho time he was returning
to a mill Job in Klamath county. At
Jackson Hot firings he stormed and
debated whether he would return,
but finally decided to go on.
At the time Messal'a driving license '
waa under suspension for reckless .
driving in this city and this waa de
ne as, together with unusual active
Ing motive of his flight.
