Johnson and Oscar N. Enger for $500 general damages and $ 1000 punitive damages for libel. Grubb was employed by John son and Enger doing business as the Federal Oregon Agency. Grubb alleged that the two filed false charges against him in a letter to the insurance commis sioner causing revocation of his insurance license, which was later restored after a hearing. These charged Grubb with em bezzlement of funds. Johnson and Enger contended they were under a duty to supply such in formation to the insurance com missioner that therefore, they had an absolute privilege. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice " James T, Brand, did not extend the abso lute privilege doctrine to this situation and held that the bur den of proving truth was on the defendant and that the words published were libelous per se and that damages will be pre sumed. The opinion affirmed the de cree of Clackamas County Cir cuit Judge P. K. Hammond. THRILLING High-Fidelity music from THREE SPEAKERS!

(U.R) Back stairs at the Gettysburg White House: Lots of mysterious electronic equipment is spotted around Camp David, where President Eisenhower met earlier this week with the Cabinet and the National Security Council. There is a tall white radar tower used for transmitting microwave signals back to Washington. There is a similar tower in Gettysburg. As far as the Gettysburg tower is con cerned, the first thought by per sons not on the White House rtaff was that this elaborate equipment was intended for tel evision networks. This turned out to be untrue. The microwave equipment is for transmission of secret White House messages. The President's visit to Camp David to ' meet the security council and the Cabinet pro duced a housing boom and shortage in Thurmont, the nearest town to the camp. Most of the press, radio and photographic party accompany ing the President was accommo dated in two motel camps Hoover and Shangri La, both commercial establishments. A number of the press and picture party could not be ac commodated at Thurmont and had to return to Gettysburg for thea one evening Mr. Eisenhower spent at his camp.
