Grants Pass, Jan. 4 Helen
Howell, 40, has filed a com
plaint with County Clerk Ben
W. Coutant seeking $18,230 puni
tive and compensatory damages
for injuries allegedly received in
a beating at the hands of William
Daniel Corey on Dec. 24. Corey
Is now serving a 10-day jail sen
tence in Josephine County jail
after a plea of guilty to operat
ing an automobile without a
driver's license and operating a
car with void foreign license
plates.
In her complaint, the plaintiff
alleged that at the time of the
beating she was visiting at the
home of Clifford Johnston on
Grave Creek and that Corey was
also staying there. She said that
at the time she was under prom
ise of marriage to Corey.
After the family Christmas
tree had been trimmed, the com
plaint charges that the plaintiff
was pursuaded to take a drink
of whisky which she believes
was drugged because she be
came ill shortly after taking the
liquor. It was then, according
to the complaint, that Johnston,
charged as an abettor to the
beating, and Corey forced her
into an automobile and, with
Johnston driving, Corey admin
istered a severe beating to the
plaintiff. After repeated beat
ings, she said she was removed
from the car to a shack on Grave
Creek, from where she escaped,
making her way to a farmhouse
the following morning.

Controversial Measure Es
tablishes Separate De
partment For Veterans.
Washington, Jan. 4 flJ.R)
President Truman today signed
the controversial bill to estab
lish a separate department of
medicine and surgery in the
vterans administration.
The bill was opposed by the
civil service commission be
cause the new medical service
would be outside the scope of
civil service. There was also
some complaint that It did not
guarantee veterans preference in
filling the new medical jobs.
Mr. Truman backed Veterans
Administrator Omar N. Bradley
by signing the bill to institute a
system granting priority to
qualified veterans, In recruiting
and placing personnel in .the
new unit.
No Discrimination
The president also asked that
the system "provide against any
possibility of discrimination be
cause of race or creed."
"I hope," the president wrote
Bradley, "that this legislation
will enable you and your asso
ciates to move forward in your
determination to provide the
veterans of this country with a
progressive up-to-date depart
ment of medicine and surgery.
Much progress has been
made in this direction, and I
shall watch with real interest
the additional steps which will
be taken by you under this new
law."

Sacramento, Jan. 4 (U.R) At
least 1.000.000 Christmas trees
remained unsold in California
after Christmas and had to be
destroyed, the state division of
forestry estimated today.
The waste, the division said,
amounted to between 30 and 50
per cent of the 3,500,000 trees
shipped to market during the
Christmas season. It blamed
overcutting by wholesalers, par
ticularly those who imported
trees from other states, high
prices and retailing of trees by
inexperienced persons.
The division urged enactment
of a law to license tree whole
salers and requiring that each
individual tree be taxed two J
cents. I
Many Christmas tree lots In
cities were operated "by recent
ly discharged veterans who had
been led to believe by whole-
salrs that the Christmas tree
business was an ideal opportun
ity for quick turnover and easy
profits." a division report pre
pared by Investigator J. D Raf
ferty said.
