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.

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. Mitchell, of the
National Business and Property
Exchange, to publicize Jackson
county through his firm's na
tional publication, and heard a
report by Jack Crawford, chair
man of the off-street parking
committee, in which he urged
chamber members to seek action
by the city council on a $600,
000, 10-year plan for providing
parking in downtown Medford
through an assessment district
organization. '

manager of the chamber, was

You certainly can throw out your
chest, and call this Buick yours.
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.
