Webb Opposes
Sandy Tonight
Chicago (U.R) Fight Manag
er Hec Knowles registered a
protest in advance today on be
half of his star middleweight,
Spider Webb, who tangles with
Randy Sandy in the weekly tele
vision scrap tonight.
"I don't think it's fair for
Carmen Basilio to talk about
fighting the middleweight cham
pion," Knowles said, "at least
until he's cleaned up1 the welter
weights." Basilio, the 147-pound title
holder, and Gene Fullmer, now
the middleweight champion,
both were known to be interest
ed in an early summer battle for
a "big payday" for each fighter.
But Knowles believed such
an encounter would penalize
Webb, now the world's third
ranked 160-pounder and a heavy
favorite to defeat Sandy to
night.
No-Hitter Chance

Oregon without a hit. Then in
the ninth Ron Whitaker, who
was the Ducks' fifth pitcher,
singled. A moment later Len
Read smashed a homer and the
marathon was on. Two more
Willamette pitchers came' on be
fore the fire was put out.
Oregon finished its non-conference

Senate Casts Vote To
Repeal Sections of
State Law on Libel
Salem U.R) The Oregon
Senate has voted 16 to 14 in fa
vor of Senate bill 4 to repeal
sections of the law which pro
vide that a newspaper, radio,
television or the movies may be
sued for actual damages only
and not for punitive damages if
libel is' unintentionally commit
ted and a retraction or correc
tion is made.
However, an amendment to
SB4 retains the provision that
the injured party shall recover
only special damages and not
punitive damages where the
publisher or broadcaster proves
that the defamation was not in
tended or the result of negli
gence and further proves that a
correction was made.
Sen. Philip Lowry, Medford
Republican who explained the
bill, said there was a question
concerning the constitutionality
of the 1955 libel act. He said
there was a further question of
policy concerning the responsi
bility of news media for abuse
of the rights of freedom ' of
speech and freedom of the press.
False Teeth Should
Show Wearer's Age
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R)
False teeth should be looked on
as a work of art, according to a
California dentist who makes
them for Hollywood movie stars.
Dr. Roland Fisher of Glen
dale, Calif-, addressing the Flor
ida Dental Society Tuesday,
said dentists should note the art
istic styles of sculptors in de
signing false teeth. He said false
teeth should express the wear
er's age, personality and sex.
"A man of 50 should not
have the same type of false
teeth as a man in his 20s," Fisn
er said.
Sen. Alfred H. Corbett, Port
land Democrat, speaking for the
bill, said publishers and others
responsible for dissemination of
the news should be held "to a
high standard of care" in the
treatment of news.
Sen. Leander Quiring, HermiS'
ton Republican, spoke against
the measure. He said the 1956
law had proved a protection of
those in charge of news media
against "nuisance value" law
suits where an error was ob
viously unintentional, such as a
typographical error in a news
paper story. He said that in the
two years before the 1955 act
went into effect, Oregon pub
lishers were plagued with some
16 "nuisance value" libel suits.
Those are suits where the plain
tiff hopes to get a settlement of
some sort from the publisher
which the publisher might find
cheaper than taking the case to
court.
Sen. Quiring said that since
the 1955 act went into effect,
not a' single suit had been filed.
Joining with those voting for
the bill which had been opposed
by newspapers through their as
sociation, was the only publish
er in the Senate, Sen. Monroe
Sweetland, Democrat, who pub
lishes a weekly newspaper in
Milwaukie.
The House passed 29-26 a joint
resolution which asks the peo
ple to vote on a $15 million
bond program to finance a
building program at state insti
tutions. The resolution, requested by
State Treasurer Sig Unander,
did not contain an original pro
vision that all state surpluses of
more than $10 million be used
to retire the bonds. Rep. Clar
ence Barton, Coquille, said his
House Tax committee felt the
provision would "ham string"
future legislators.

f
Hew Todayl The FORD SKYLINER-world's only Hide-Away hardtop
Once in a long, long while a car comes along
that people remember and talk about for years
after its introduction.
The first model" A" Ford was such a car .. .
The first FordV-8 was such a car...
The first Ford Thunderbird was such a car.
Today Ford Division is proud to announce still
another car that many say is destined to become
, the most famous Ford of all: The Skyliner
world's only hide-away hardtop.
If you plan to buy a new Ford, or already own
one, the fact that Ford created this car is im
portant to you. For all the exhaustive research,
planning and testing that went into the Skyliner
is evidence of the engineering skill you get in
every Ford modeL
The Ford SKYLINER, the only all-steel hide-away
hardtop, is a car for history.
This is an old dream of Detroit, a dream of two
generations of motorists.
And today Ford has made that dream come true
in steel.
But the story behind this dream is a story of men
who refused to accept "no" for an answer. In the
Ford tradition they kept striving toward the goal
long after others had given up the chase.
To understand this Ford spirit you must go back
- to 1908. That was the year when many Detroiters
smiled smugly as Henry Ford announced, "We
will build a motor car for the great multitude . . .
so low in price that no man making a good salary
will be unable to own one."
And they did.
Today, nearly a half century later, Ford con
tinues to cause the "experts" to change their tune.
When you see this all-steel hardtop that retracts
. into a convertible, youll be seeing a car that many
said would never be mass-produced.
But Ford did it
The styling greup was first to work on it. They
experimented. They improvised. They worked
unceasingly. Finally they completed a power
operated three-eighths scale model that actually
would convert.
It was December 1956 after eight years of re
search, planning, experimenting and testing when
Ford unveiled this masterpiece . . . unveiled it
amid all the pomp and splendor of the New York
Automobile Show.
And now this history-making car, this prototype
of a whole future generation of cars, is ready for
your own personal inspection in the showrooms of
many Ford Dealers.
Plan to see it soon. And ask your Dealer to show
you the exciting advances in all models of the new
Ford line for "57.
In creating the Skyliner, the worlds only all
steel hide-away hardtop, Ford continues its tradi
tion of being first with the important innovations.
Come in and see this newest example of Ford's
leadership. Let us give you the exciting details on
this revolutionary car and the other great '57 Ford
models. Discover for yourself the things you get in
Ford that no other car can offer. Discover for your
self why the '57 Ford leads all other cars in sales.
A car born of the habit of being first"
