Trullinger, remanded to the Oregon district court "for further proceedings consistent with this opinion." Trullinger, of Hood River and The Dalles, was charged with selling a tractor to Earl Gilmore, another logger, for $462 over the ceiling. Judge Claude Me Colloch, United States district court judge of the District of Oregon at Portland, ruled that Bowles could not legally bring an action for statuatory dam ages, and dismissed, the case. . by OPA In passing on price In- creases.
