Motion Filed to Dismiss Complaint Portland (U.R) A motion challenging the legality of the present Multnomah county grand jury was filed here Friday by Attorney James M. Hafey. The motion, if granted by the court, could upset pending grand jury action on many criminal indict ments and nullify the vice and corruption indictments returned recently. Hafey asked for dismissal of a criminal complaint against his ciient. He based his move on three points which 'included a charge that the present or suc ceeding grand juries cannot re turn valid indictments because the 1956 jury list was not select ed from both the assessment rolls and voter registration rolls from all parts' of the county in proportion to all qualified jurors appearing on those two rolls as required by statute. He also said the June 1956 grand jurors were not examined individually by the jury com missioner and that prospective jurors were excused by persons other than the presiding judge. Howard R. Lonergan, chief criminal deputy district attorn ey, filed a cross motion asking the court to set all pending cases over to the September grand jury. He said the motion would be litigated before any more cases are presented. County Clerk Si Cohn said the voter list only is used be cause it is a much more satis factory list to work from. He added, "The law, so far as I know, reads that the jury list can come either from the tax payers or from the registered voters, or both."

Diana Dors, England's blonde bomb shell version of Marilyn Monroe, exploded Sunday night in a sav age attack on a United Press photographer covering a lavish filmland party at her $175,000 estate. The British actress joined her husband, Dennis Hamilton, in a wild, kicking, hitting attack on photographer Stewart Sawyer, 32, who they accused of pushing them and two others into a swimming pool. Acted Like Tiger Witnesses said Hamilton acted "like a tiger" as he knocked Sawyer to the ground and sat on him, beating his bloody face while Miss Dors screamed "un printable words" and kicked at the photographer's head. Sawyer was carried from the side of the pool, unconscious and bleeding after guests pulled the enraged husband away. Sawyer reportedly suffered a broken nose and bruises on his head, face and ribs. When he regained conscious ness, Sawyer denied pushing the actress, Hamilton, agent Louis Shurr and wardrobe designer Howard Shoup into the pool. The mild mannered phbtogra pher was to undergo a medical examination later today. His wife Jan, said his nose was "puffed up like a balloon." "He definitely was hit from behind," she said. "He's got a lump on his back. He also was injured on his forehead and cheek. He's been badly beaten." To Depend on Results Mrs. Sawyer said the possi bility of any legal action would depend on results of the medical examination. "My husband has no plans right now for anything except getting some rest and then seeing his doctor," she said. Sawyer said he was a bystand er in the episode. "I did not push them into the pool nor do I remember any thing except both Miss Dors and her husband attacking me," Saw yer said. Hamilton, a former profession al fighter, said after he had changed into dry clothes, "I haven't given this man (Sawyer) my calling card yet. This man hasn't been dealt with yet."
