Chicago's Famed Skid-Row Lawyer 'Falls From Wagon'; Another Chance To Make Good Left Up To Psychiatrist Chicago (U.R) It was up to a court psychiatrist today to de cide whether William G. Wood, the "Skid Row lawyer" who fell off the wagon, should get an other chance to sober up his life. Judge Hyman Feldman, the man who lifted Bill Wood off Chicago's wine-sodden Skid Row said he would go to bat for the 65-year-old law professor again if the psychiatrist says it's worth it. "If a man slips 10 times and he's saved the 11th, it's good, isn't it," Feldman said. Bill really slipped Tuesday night. Ironically, he had just addressed a meeting of Alco holics Anonymous. ' : Gets Old Crrving --. On the way home, the man who had become a symbol to other Skid Row "winos" got his old craving for alcohol. He bought a 47-cent bottle of muscatel and a 25-cent bottle. Then he drank himself to sleep. Thursday morning he finished off the bottle and 'wandered down to Skid Row to drink some more. "Just habit, I guess," he said. Wood called the state's attor ney's office, where Feldman had got him a job as librarian, and said he would be in at noon. But at 11 o'clock he was arrested, hopelessly drunk. " A few hcurs later he was standing before Feldman, the judge who had picked him from a batch of Skid Row derelicts last January and made him a court assistant. Restored Other Men Wood had made good on that job and, up until Thursday, hadn't missed a day's work in the eight weeks he had been em ployed in the state's attorney's office. His fight to get off Skid Row had aroused national atten tion and Feldman credits his example with bringing 156 other men "back" from Skid Row. Now Wood stood quietly and heard Feldman order him held for examination by the court psychiatrist. Feldman was later to decide he might try to restore Wood to his job with the state's attor ney. Now he told the shame faced man, "There isn't anything I wouldn't give not to have you here." Wood, near tears when he heard Feldman's ruling, , said "Your honor is the boss." "I'm not the boss, Bill, I'm your friend," Feldman said. Hornbrook Hornbrook, Calif.

Chamber Board Votes Study of Tucker Plan For Medford Freeway A suggestion made by E. M. Tucker, president of the Tucker Sno-Cat company, that the pro posed new freeway through Medford be constructed as a par tial subway along the route of Bear creek, will receive study by the highway committee of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. Tucker described his proposal yesterday noon to the board of the chamber, which then refer red the matter to the highway group for additional study. Plan Described Tucker's plan, first publicized in the communications column of The Mail Tribune, calls for a four-lane highway lowered to approximately the present level of the bed of Bear -creek, with a concrete channel for Bear creek, waters constructed be? neath. The highway would thus pass beneath the existing Jack son and Main st. bridges, Tuck er said. He t claimed that the, route could be provided at a fraction of the cost of 'other proposals, that it would not destroy the esthetic values of .Hawthorne park (which has been one of the main points mentioned against a proposal for an elevat ed freeway on the same route), that it would increase, rather than decrease, property values in adjacent areas, and that it would provide considerable parking space nearby. Use in Floods The concrete channel for Bear creek waters, Tucker said, would be ample for ordinary high-water flows, and in case of extra ordinarily high flood waters, the highway itself would serve as a channel to carry the water safely through Medford, with traffic being shifted to existing routes with no delay nor trouble. He termed Bear creek, as it now exists, an "unsightly men ace," mentioning mosquitoes and other health hazards, and said that his plan would improve the over-all appearance of the city. The chamber's directors also heard a proposal, which will be voted on later, that election of officers and directors of the chamber be changed to permit newly elected, officials to make plans for their terms before tak ing office; referred to commit tee for study and action a pro posal by W. R.

Because as comparison shows the dollar difference between this brawny beauty and the well-known smaller cars is virtually erased. So if you've been thinking a Buick was out of reach let yourself go. You can afford a Buick if you can afford any new car and the price we show here proves it. Buick Sales Soaring To New Highs That's a major reason for the phe nomenal success of Buick today. So much so, that production and sales are hitting new peaks to move Buick more firmly into the tight circle of America's best sellers. And a companion reason for this soaring popularity is Buick's full line of cars to give you a choice in any price class the bedrock-priced Special, the high-powered Century, the extra-roomy Super, and the custom-built Roadmaster. But pure and simple, it's all the car for miff you get for your money that's winning so many new owners to Buick. It's the extra pride you feel, the extra room you enjoy, the extra comfort you get, the extra safety you sense from Buick styling, Buick size, Buick ride-engineering, Buick solidity of structure. It's the extra lift and snap and ginger you get from Buick high-compression V8 power and the fun and thrill of bossing such eager might. As we said if you can afford any new car, you can afford a Buick even with the spectacular performance of Variable Pitch Dynaflowt, at modest extra cost. So why settle for anything less than a Buick? Drop in on Us, take the wheel, press that pedal, and see for yourself what a whale of an automobile and a whale of a buy-today's Buick really is. fDynaflow Drivt is standard on Rotdnuutor, optional S txtrs cost on otbtr Sfiu dmlfvmnd leemllyi 2-door,fJ-psenger Buick SPECIAL Sedan, Model 48, illustrated."
