The Multnomah county prose cutor is suing the newspaper in connection with last summer's vice probe in Portland in which the newspaper and its staff play ed a prominent part. The motion for dismissal was based on the grounds that Lang ley's complaint fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted; that he has cited uncon stitutional statutes, and that the Federal Distric Court in Port land does not have jurisdiction. 2 BIG DANCES ir Christmas Eve and it Christmas Night Dec. 24 A 25 ROGUE VALLEY BALLROOM featuring the Coker Family i8v PIZZA PIES!

Phone 2-6231 Jackson Hotel Around Hollywood By ALINf MOSSY United Press Correspondent Editor's note: Aline Mosby is on vacation. Want some ideas on Christ mas decorations? Today's guest col umn is by Carl Neubert, an interior decorator, who has the inside word on how Hollwood homes will look this Christmas. By CARL NEUBERT Written for United Prei Hollywood u.R) Because their house is ultramodern, the Robert Mitchums will boast one of Hollywood's most unusual trees this year a tree sprayed with black enamel and loaded with gold ornaments. But other trees will run parallel to the taste of people nationwide. Mrs. Clark Gable strictly ad heres to the old-fashioned green tree with vari-colored ornaments. Throughout the rambling ranch house she has hung Delia Robbia wreaths and large branches of holly tied with huge red bows. Ann Blyth and Danny Thomas feature elaborate front-yard, tab leaux of the Nativity scene. And a long-time client of mine. Lou Costello, goes in for a Santa Claus, deer, toys and little help ers on his front lawn. In Bob Hope's front yard is a 150-foot tree which he lights with thou sands of twinkling blue lights. Lights Outline House Doris Day put up a huge white tree and has strung lights to out line the front of her house. Vin cent Price's tree is decorated with small religious medallions which he has collected for years. Ronald Coleman lit the two huge trees in the front yard of his Santa Barbara home with red and green lights. Bob Wagner's eight-foot tree is trimmed with candy canes, cornucopias and old-fashioned ornaments. Tree trimming parties are pop ular among the younger set. such as the Bill Campbells and Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Ann Mil ler purchased a Santa Claus out fit in red satin, trimmed in white ermine, to entertain her guests at a yule party. Santa Doll Featured Eddie Fisher and Debbie Rey nolds' decor is centered around a life-sized Santa doll. Greer Garson's tree is laven der with purple orchids. Clint Walker created his own tree of dried tumblewced, sprayed white, and loaded with tiny lights and one-inch ornaments. Peggy Lee and Dewey Martin outlined their hilltop house in colored lights. Agnes Moorhead sent her friends old English-style mistle toe balls, 15 inches in diameter, trimmed in red velvet ribbons and antique ornaments. This is the seventh year she has fol lowed this- custom. The Humphrey Bogart's din ner table Christmas day will feature 18-inch ice cream Santa Clauses. Jack Benny's dinner guests will get ice cream snow balls set in a bed of holly and topped with a tiny, lighted red candle. Obituary CLARENCE M.

December 21, 1936 Dense Midwest Fog Delays Holiday Travelers; By UNITED PRESS One of the most widespread fogs on record blanketed the Middlewest and delayed thous ands of travelers on their Christ mas journeys today. The fog was blamed for at least 12 deaths and disrupted j airline traffic swollen by a rec ord volume of Christmas travel. 11 Already Dead Light drizzle slicked high ways and at least 11 were dead in tra.fic accidents, an inauspi cious preview of the Christmas holiday traffic death count which begins at 6 p.m. tonight. The National Safety Council warned tnat the period may set an all-time high for traffic fa talities. The council estimated that 660 persons will be killed in traffic from 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Tuesday. The derailment of an Illinois Central train near Belleville, 111., killed two persons and in jured 37. State police said rain shifted a temporary roadbed and the tracks gave way as the train passed over it.

Chicago reported airline traf fic delayed from 12 to 15 hours. Midway Airport was closed Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The airport at St. Louis also was closed.
