J Armed Services Merger Necessary, Sen. Jackson Says Washington U.R) Sen. Henry M. Jackson, (D-Wash.), said today that rapid changing technologies of war make it "im perative" to merge the Army, Navy and Navy and Air Force into one service. If one service were created. Jackson said in an interview, it would do much to eliminate pres sent "interservice rivalry" be tween the services over their roles and missions. Congress Not Ready Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (It Mass.), senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services commit tee said, however, that he does not believe Congress is ready for complete unification of the armed forces. Saltonstall referred to the un derlying fear in Congress that establishment of one service would lead to creation of a "Prussian- type general staff that could wield excessive pow er. Said Imperative While this congressional fear may persist, Jackson said, ulti mately Congress and the De fense Department is going to be driven to unification. "The new technologies of war make it im perative that we reach this ob jective as soon as possible, he said. ' Jackson noted that new wea pons developments are chang ing and expanding the roles and missions of the individual ser vices, with resulting interservice controversy. As examples, he cited the Army-Air Force feud over air defense missiles and the brewing fight between the two services over control of the long-range ballistic missiles.

Wednesday, June 8, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN State Court Reverses Grant County Verdict Salem (U.R) A $30,000 judgment recovered by George D. Snyder in Grant county Cir cuit court was reversed by the Supreme Court today and the case remanded for a new trial. Snyder, who died during the appeal, was severely injured in December, 1952, when he was struck by the top of a falling tree while scaling logs. He sued Seneca Lumber com pany under the employers' lia bility act and was awarded judgment. The high court held the trial judge was in error in instructing the jury regarding al leged violations of the safety code, particularly with respect to its resquirement that a flag men be stationed to direct traf fic on a road when there was danger of falling trees. The court noted that the de fendant was not on the road at the time of the accident. In another ruling, the court held that when faced with two conflicting Oregon statutes, the law which is specific must pre vail over the statute which is general. The ruling was made in a case where Raymond D. Colby of Wasco county appealed from a ruling of Circuit Judge M. W. Wilerson that he could not re cover his costs and attorneys Dynamite in Pocket Of Boy Causes Scare Chicago (U.R) A 14-year-old boy brought Chicago's police on the run when he turned up at school with a stick of dyna mite in his pocket. However, it turned out the youth had no malicious intentions. "I just wanted to show off a little," the boy told authorities. The explosive was harmless be cause it had no detonating cap. fees in a damage suit against Percy N. Larson. Following an automobile acci dent, Colby sued Larson for dam ages to his car and also asked for S300 attorney's fees. Larson tendered the court the amount of the damages and the trial court held that Colby could not collect costs because of a general statute enacted in 1862. The Supreme Court, in an op inion written by Justice Hall S. Lusk, reversed the trial court and remanded the case to deter mine a proper attorneys fee to be allowed to Colby as costs.
