Complaint To Be Amended in Suit On Girl's Behalf - An amended complaint in the damage suit on behalf of 5-year-old Jana Sue McCall against Medford's mayor and city councilmen, among oth ers, must be filed by June 26, according to an order by Cir cuit Judge James M. Main. The suit was initiated in April in connection with in juries sustained by Jana Sue March 12 when her bicycle and a patrol car operated by Medford Patrolman Donald Pursel collided on Summit ave. The girl's parents are Mr. and Mrs. . Doyle McCall, 523 Haven st. The original complaint asked $140,000 "in general damages, and $7,500 in spe cial damages to cover doc tors' fees and other medical expenses. Granted Motion Judge Main last week granted a defendants' motion to strike the special damages on the ground that they were not an obligation of the girl herself: He overruled, however, a motion to strike the names of Mayor John W. Snider, the eight city councilmen and Po lice Chief Charles P. Champ- lin, as defendants. r The motion contended they were not liable. In an opin ion, Judge Main stated the al legation that they were per sonally negligent in continu ing to employ Pursel despite his alleged incompetence to operate a motdr vehicle was permissable. Another Overruled Another motion asking that Pursel's accident record be specified in the complaint was overruled on the ground that this was within the de fendants' scope of knowledge. A motion in connection with the general damages to strike Jana Sue's alleged life ex pectancy of 74.2 years was also overruled. Karl Clinkinbeard, defend ants' attorney, said Friday he would decline to comment on future steps until the amend ed complaint has been filed. Jana Sue is reportedly repre sented by a Portland firm.

July 20 New Date For Show-Cause In Sprinkler Suit A defendants' show-cause appearance in the suits against Medford's fire ordi nance requiring sprinkler sys tems in basements of large buildings has been postponed to July 20, according to City Attorney Joel B. Reeder. The postponement, granted last week by Circuit Judge James M. Main, was request ed by both city officials and plaintiffs for the convenience of witnesses. ' The appearance was -ordered for a show of course cause why the defendant city officials should not be en joined from enforcing a June 30 deadline against at least two of the buildings in ques tion. A total of eight complaints were filed in circuit court May 29 by, owners of a num ber of downtown buildings. The plaintiffs are asking that the city's 1957 fire prevention ordinance, or at least that part concerning the sprinkler system requirement, be nulli fied. The Medford city council last December set a general deadline of Dec. 31, 1959 for compliance with the sprinkler provision, with the stipulation that earlier deadlines could be set by the fire department in situations considered par ticularly hazardous. According to Fire Chief Gordon Barker, the June 30 deadline applies only to the medical Center building, 33 North Central ave., and the Fluhrer building, 5 South Central. The city is stipulating it will not enforce the deadline until the court rules on the plaintiff's injunction request, according - to City Attorney Reeder.
