Oregon Supreme
Court Decisions
Salem-flJPD-Tlie Oregon Su
preme Court ruled Thursday
that a log trucker injured
while going to work could not
collect benefits even though
he was driving his own truck
as part of his working equip
ment. The decision upheld the
State Industrial Accident com
mission. It reversed Linn
County Judge Wendell Tomp
kins. The log trucker, Thomas
Philpott, had argued that he
was exempt from the estab
lished rule that benefits can
not be collected for injuries
incurred while going to or
from" work.
He said he was rendering
the company lie worked for
a benefit by taking his own
truck home at night and serv
icing it.
The Supreme Court, in an
opinion by Justice Hall Lusk,
disagreed. It said it failed to
find any facts to justify ex
empting Philpott from the
general rule.
It said to allow Philpott's
claim would be an "unjusti
fiable departure from con
trolling precedents."
Independent Contractor
The high court said the
trucker was, in fact, an inde
pendent contractor and driv-

ing to work was not part of
his job for the company.
In two damage suits, one
involving death and the other
injury, the Supreme Court
ruled the plaintiffs had a
right to trial. The rulings re
versed lower court decisions.
In one case, Multnomah
County Judge Winston Brad
shaw had ruled that the sur
vivor of a truck driver killed
at a Linn county railroad
crossing didn't have any case.
He said the driver could have
seen the train even if the
signal lights were not operat
ing, and this constituted con
tributory negligence.
The high court said the
case should be ruled on by a
jury after considering all the
facts.
In the second case, Marion
County Judge George Jones
had ruled that a guest injured
at a Detroit lake resort had
no case. The guest was hurt
when he stepped on a rope
connecting some floats and it
went taut and threw him into
the water.
The Supreme Court said
whether the risk could have
been realized by the guest
was a matter for a jury to
decide.
Judgment Affirmed
Other cases:
In an appeal from Mult
nomah county, the Supreme
Court affirmed a $16,728 judg
ment for Santina L. Dare for
injuries received in a traffic
accident.
Tlie Supreme Court af
firmed the dismissal by the
Multnomah county Circuit
Court of a suit brought by
owners of certain lots in a
subdivision who had fought to
restrict other lots to single
family dwellings.
In an appeal from Mult
nomah county, the high court
affirmed a $500 judgment for
a man injured in a collision.
The injured man had argued
that aggravation of an ulcer
also should have been con
sidered. The Supreme Court af
firmed the conviction of
Ralph Huitt in Klamath coun
ty for larceny of a calf.
The Supreme Court af
firmed a Multnomah county
divorce decree granting Dale
Standley a divorce and his
wife the custody of an infant
child.

"TOBODY CAN PREDICT," notes- Ernest Havemann,
1 i "where the next top gag-writer for television will
come from." A writer who can furnish a steady supply of
laugh lines for comedians
like Bob Hope and Jack
Benny is worth his weight
in gold and even harder
to find.
The best of the gag
writers pop up in the
most unexpected places.
Abe Burrows, co-author
of "How to Succeed in
Business Without Really
Trying," was slaving as an
accountant in Wall Street
when somebody told him
that all the hilarious re
marks he was handing
out for free could be sold
at a high price to material-hungry TV personalities. Bur
rows' co-author on "How to Succeed," Jack Weinstock, still
practices medicine. In fact, he once stopped writing long
enough to take out his collaborator's appendix.
Goodman Ace, who has written such wonderful comedy
lines for Perry Como and the like began his career as drama
critic for a Kansas City newspaper. And there's another top
TV comedy writer who less than four years ago was press

something like $100,000 a year!
A student of semantics at Kansas State has summed up the
career of a college football coach in eight words: Desired; Wired;

Morgan Has No
Political Plans
Portland - IUP1I - Federal
Power Commissioner Howard
Morgan said Thursday "I've
come back to God's country
and have no solid political
plans."
Morgan recently announced
he would not accept reap
pointment to the FPC and
sparked a congressional hear
ing by a letter he wrote Presi
dent Kennedy. The letter was
interpreted as an attack on
other FPC members. '
The former Oregon Demo
cratic chairman said he felt
the hearing was useful in that
it called "attention of many
thoughtful people to the prob
lems involved; it prodded
them to take a look."
Morgan has a cattle ranch
near Sisters. He addressed
the City Club here today.
