Insurance
Libel Case
Agent's
Upheld
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Supreme Court has upheld a
judgment given Francis W.
Grubb, insurance agent, against
George E. 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.

Among those attending the
dinner were the Rev. Meredith
Groves, district superintendent
and former pastor of the Meth
odist church; the Rev. Joseph
Knotts, first pastor of the united
church, and Dr. joueit P. Bray
last pastor of Methodist church,
South.
In his talk Bishop Grant re
ported that Scandanavian Meth
odism, which has been at a stale
mate, is now on the increase. He
mentioned that in those countries
the church emphasis is on the
services church as health and
welfare more than any other
place he knew of.
Church in East Berlin
The Bishop mentioned the de
termination of Christians in East
Berlin not to succumb to the
Russian philosophy. He spoke of
East Berlin as a deserted village
on Sunday. There is fine archi
tecture on the main street in that
portion of the German city, he
reported, but behind the front is
"the same ruble you see every
where." Austria was described by the
bishop as a land of poverty but
ne mentioned the great Christian
example set by Methodists there.
Italy brought out to the bishop
the need of less tradition and
more truth. In Paris he encoun
tered the great Dr. Albert Sch
weitzer whom, he pointed out,
believes a great many people
can be led to God through kind
ness. Dr. G. A. Dierdorff was toast-
master at the dinner. Music was
provided by the Methodist men
and the Caroleers.

Back Stairs: Mysterious Equipment
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House
Writer
Gettysburg, Pa. (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.

The helicopter landing area
at Camp David was a chilly bog
when the egg beaters from
Washington arrived with Cabi
net and security council mem
bers Monday and Tuesday.
Lt. Col. William Draper, the
President's pilot and Air Force
aide, stood on the muddy air
field and marveled at the abil
ity of the helicopter pilots to
put their ships down on such
a small area.
The helicopter pilots were not
nearly as afraid of the wind
blowing over the mountain tops
as they were of the possibility
that the steady wind might
change into strong ugly gusts.
When he ca nspare the time,
Draper plans to take some train

aircraft can qualify in helicop

Regardless of how talented
Draper may become in operat
ing the whirly birds, he has no
intention of hauling the Presi
dent in them. Draper doesn't
like, the idea of working with
one motor when the President
is involved.
Sam Adams, young son of the
presidential assistant Sherman
Adams, is trying to win the job
as goalie of the Dartmouth Col
lege ice hockey freshman team.
When the boy went off to
school in the fall, his father, for

shire, gave him this advice:
"It is just as well you are
trying out for goalie, because in
this family, you've got to get
used to people shooting a lot of
things at you."
