The high court upheld a deci sion in Multnomah County Cir cuit Court by Judge Dean F. Bryson denying damages to James Hassebrock, a minor, who was struck in the eye by the toy. Hasscbroek's guardian had sought damages from Pearl 0. Norman, a neighbor, after the accident. The high court said the lower court's refusal to permit a dem onstration of the toy to the jury was a matter within the judge's discretion.

Tax Installments Are Due on Trucks PORTLAND Highway use tax installments are due Dec. 31, according to A. G. Erickson, district director of the Internal Revenue Service for Oregon. All Oregon truck and bus own ers who have elected to pay their highway use tax in in stallments must pay them by Dec. 31. A notice of payment due is being sent, Erickson said. A Form 2290 should be filed on all taxable vehicles by the end of the monlh following the month thev were first used on nublic hichwavs. However, li ability for highway use tax arises only once each year on each taxable vehicle. Therefore, on second-hand trucks or buses acquired, the new owner should check to see if the use tax has already been paid by the pre vious owner for the current year. If it has, the new owner incurs 1 no liability for tax on his use I of such vehicle for that year.

Duncan (D-Ore) said today his legislation to transfer certain property from the Veterans Administration to the City of Roseburg has moved another step forward. Duncan announced that Con gressman William L. Dawson, chairman of the House Govern ment Operations Committee, has referred his bill (HR5185) to the Government Activities Subcommittee. "I have contacted the sub committee chairman, Congress man Jack Brooks, and asked that hearings be held at the earliest possible date," Duncan said. All Federal agency reports are in on the transfer and the City of Roseburg has agreed to the terms suggested by the Veterans Administration. There is nothing left now to hold up speedy consideration of the bill," Duncan added. The Bill would provide for the gratuitous return of a portion of the land originally donated by the city for construction of a VA hospital. Duncan noted that any legislation which included a gratuitous provision always received a certain amount of opposition, but he felt in this case it wouldn't affect passage of the bill. Duncan pointed out that the companion bill (S1203) sponsor- ed by Sen. Wayne Morse and Maurine Neuberger is current ly before the Senate Govern ment operations committee. Douglas County Circuit Court award by Judge Don H. Sanders of $25,520 to Clco Hoyle, a pedes trian, who was struck by a pick up driven by 0. P. Van Horn in Roseburg. The high court affirmed a Multnomah County Circuit Court ruling by Judge Virgil H. Lang- try which dismissed a complaint by Winifred G. Grown of Ara Vista Realty that he was en titled to a real estate commis sion from Mr. and Mrs. Eman uel Scidl. The Supreme court upheld a judgment of involuntary non suit entered by Lane County Cir cuit Court Judge Edward Leavy in favor of Weyerhaeuser Com pany. The lower court had found that James E. Parker, who claimed he was injured as the result of company negligence, had failed to prove his injury was caused by the alleged negligence. A decree dismissing George and Irene Van Natta's complaint in a suit to quiet title to tax forc- closed property in Columbia County was affirmed by the high court. The Columbia County Cir cuit Court of Judge Avery A. Combs was upheld by the high court ruling. Conviction Affirmed Conviction of William Junior Evle, before Umatilla County Circuit Judgo William W. Wells, on a charge of using a motor vehicle without authority, for which he was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary, was af firmed by the Supreme Court. Also upheld was an order from the Benton County Circuit Court of Judge Fred McHcnry deny ing Mary Beclman's motion for a change of custody of her minor daughter from the child's fa ther. In 1961 the high court up held an order transferring cus tody from Mrs. Beclman to Boyd Beelman, the father. Duncan Introduces Bill To Help Yets s WASHINGTON - Congress man Robert B. Duncan (D-Ore.) has introduced legislation to liberalize restrictions placed on veterans pensions. Duncan said his bill is aimed primarily at helping veterans of World War I. "The major objective of my bill is to introduce a measure that can be passed and will provide additional benefits for aged and needy veterans while there is still time for them to enjoy it," Duncan said. He pointed out that the bill, sponsored by the Veterans of World War I, is so embroiled in controversy it is doubtful whether it can pass the Con gress, and if it does, a Presi dential veto is "possible, if not probable." Duncans bill, if enacted. would declare any veteran over 65 "permanently and totally dis abled, and thus eligible tor non-service connected pensions, subject to income limitations. It would also liberalize these limitations for certain totally and permanently disabled single veterans and widows without children. The measure would increase from $70 to $90 the monthly reg ular aid and attendance bene fits for veterans unable to care for themselves, and would ex clude income earned by a vet eran s wife from being com puted in figuring the veteran's pension. The Congressman pointed out that his bill resulted from a year's study of veterans legis lation. It was also stimulated by many conferences and con versations with veterans of W. W. 1 throughout the district," Duncan said. Many English Teachers III Prepared to Teach A 11 EUGENE Many people now teaching English classes arc ill prepared to do so, according to Dr. Albert R. Kitzhabcr, pro fessor of English at the Univer sity of Oregon and the newly elected president of the National Canadian Tries To Locate Uncle Here The Yuletide season is the season for thinking of families. This is probably why Mrs. Ma rie Cox of Uptergrove, Ontario, Canada, is trying to find her uncle, M. F. McDcrmolt. A query was received by the Hotel Grand, where McDcrmott once made his home in Medford. He has not communicated with ! his nicer- since December, 1950, she informed Earl P. Hammond: manager of the hotel. The hotel s lues do not go back to 1950 and tho ownership of the hotel has changed during that time. Hammond has been manager for three years. If anvone has information which might lead to the where abouts of McDermott, Hammond has asked that he be contacted so he can help the woman who appears eager to locate her un cle. A call, also, was received at the Mail Tribune Thursday night from Lillian Jones of 58115 SW 84th St., South Miami, Fla., who is trying to locale a cousin, R. E. Golden.

Council of Teachers of English. He addressed the annual luncheon meeting of the NCTE College Section at the conven tion of the Modern Language Association in Chicago. Dr. Kitz habcr was installed as NCTE president at the organization's Thanksgiving meeting in San Francisco. Scholars of language and rhetoric and literature from the colleges and universities must agree to work closely with the people who are teaching Eng lish in the schools, and with specialists in English education, he said. He pointed out that summer institutes are helping to improve the preparation of teachers al ready in the field, but added that federal funds were needed to support such institutes. Little Likelihood "I doubt that the specter of a 'national curriculum' which we citcn see raised should alarm us. Considering how hard it is to get English teachers to agree on almost anything, I think there is little likelihood of any such monolithic course of study emerging." Dr. Kitzhaber is the director of the Project English center at the University, which is part of a federally-financed program to Improve the English curricu lum. Project English, he said, has been a promising develop ment, but he added that panels which review such proposals should be made up of persons who have a comprehensive knowledge of English as an aca demic discipline. Commenting on "the present uneasy status of the college freshman English course," he said that many English depart ments are faced with the pros pect cither of upgrading the traditional freshmen Eng 1 1 s h course or of getting rid of it, A great many Americans show little understanding of the value ol literature and indeed arc often hostile to it, he con tinued. "It is literature and the other humane studies that help to provide us with the sense of our own identity." "Oil To Burn" SftH Green Stamps MEDFORD FUEl CO. Phone 772-2111 LAST 2 DAYS!
