Court Denies Injury Suit Early this afternoon a federal court Jury declined to award Anne Nelson, Tlllsmook school teacher, any compensation for an Injury she received In an auto accident March 33, 1950, gouth ol Diamond Lake Junction. Miss Nelson was suing Jim Moore of Compton, Calif., who Is a professional baseball muw third baseman for the Vancouver, B. C, team of the Western Inter national league. one asked for 11.395 40 hnsnltnl and medical costs, plus 120,000 general damages. The Jury de liberated about an hour and ri.. elded to award her nothing. junge james Alger Fee accepted the verdict. The case wound un the current session of the U. 8 District Cnun here. Moore was driving north to Join (he Vsncouver baseball club at the time ol the accident, and Miss Nelson, then a University ol Ore gon student, waa coming south in a car driven by Oene Cavetl. a U. S. Bureau of Mines chemist living at Albany. Ruth Nelson, her sister, was also a passenger in the cor at the time of the head on collision. Miss Nelson's left leg was frac tured and she was hnKnitnim-rt here and later at Eugene. Moore was accused of negligent uiiviiig in mat nis car was on the wrong ame oi uic snow-packed road. However, the defense nresenteri testimony by Ben Pool, OTI atu- nrm, wno was a truck driver In 1050 and witnessed the accident. He said his truck was Just a few hundred feet behind Moore's car for several miles that day, and that Moore was driving slowly and on the right side ot the road all the time. Both the Nelson slaters and Cavett denied seeing Pool at the time of the wreck. Attorney Don Piper represented Moore, winning hla first case In federal court. Members of the Jury wpre Cora M.

Byrd, a Southern Demo crat long at odds with the Truman administration, says he can not endorse the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket or the Democratic platform. "'Endorsement means, to recom mend, and this I can not oo. Byrd said In a stste-wlde rsdio broadcast. He concluded with: "Al wuys I have been a Virginia Dem ocrat: always I will remain one. Byrd did not say who would get hla vote In the presidential elec tion Nov. 4. It was not his duty, he added, "to urge the people to vole lor any candidate." The speech did not mention Gen. Dwlghl D. Elsenhower, the Repub lican candidate for president. But it attacked "Trumanlsm" and aald Oov. Adlal Stevenson, the Demo cratic presidential nominee, had shown no sign of independent action. CRITIC Byrd Is a long-time critic of New Deal and Fair Deal policies and has strong backing in the South. His announcement should boost the hopes of Republicans trying to swing traditionally Democratic Vlrgbila their way. However, Oov. John b. Battle and other Virginia party leaders, like Sen. Willis Robertson, are supporting Steven son. Byrd's announcement brought Immediate comment: Vice President Barkley, who had listened to Byrd's speech belore addressing a party rally al Arling ton. Va., drew applause when he crlllclred any Democrat who might stray from the fold on election day. Mo- said:. U -"I can not but compare the man who saya he is a Democrat but ts going to vote the Republican ticket Oils year with the woman who keeps her husband's name and Uvea In his home but bestows her favors ou the man across me street." TRl.MAMSM "Trumanlsm ts the dominant Issue," Byrd said of the presiden tial campaign. He described It as "a definite, precise trend towards socialism and away from the free enterprise system." Stevenson and Truman, he add ed, see eye-to-eye on fundamental policy. Hence, he said, Stevenson can not relorm the Democratic party or "change the trend from Trumanlsm." Byrd said Stevenson has en dorsed 1 repeal of the Taft Hartley Labor Law, (3 a compul sory Isir employment practices bill and tSi a change In Senate rules to prevent filibusters. In hla successful campaign for renomlnatlon. Byrd said, he made "definite commitments . . . which transcend In Importance any other obligations that may exist In de termining my attitude In the present presidential campaign." If the Taft-Hartley Law were repealed, he contended, "nothing will be put In lis place to curb the power of the labor bosses." And compulsory FEPC would have "disastrous etfects" as the government's "most offensive In terference In private business," Byrd said. Morse To Vote For Stevenson! WASHINGTON I Sen, Wayne L. Moise, Oregon Republican, said Saturday he will vote for Oov. Adlal E. Stevenson, the Demo cratic candidate lor President. Mse, who often has been al odd.s'wllh others In his party, said "Never have I been so completely disillusioned about any man as I am about Elsenhower." He had first announced he would back Gen. Dwlght D, Elsenhower, the Republican nominee, but later announced he would not actively campaign for him. Then Saturday he made the break complete. i Morse said he was the first Re publican senator to declare public ly for Elsenhower, and said hla decision "to repudiate Elsenhower has not been an easy one to make." Morse also said: "The demagogery, double-talk and dangerous desertion by Eisen hower In this csmpalgn of his once professed political principles leaves me with no honorable course of action but disassociate myself com pletely from his candidacy. The Elsenhower I supported for the nomination Is not the Elsen hower who Is dangling and dancing from campaign platforms at the end of political puppet strings be ing Jerked bv some of the most evil and reactionary forces In American politics." Morse's coolness toward Elsen hower became especially apparent after the nominee and Sen, Robert A.

The United States and Its Allies in Korea had planned an appeal In the United Nations General As sembly for a truce, but Vishlnsky's vitriolic speech at that body made It plain that such a step would be useless. The Kremlin's top diplomatic spokesman told the 60-nation as sembly that he "warmly support ed" proposals made Saturday by Poland calling for an Immediate armistice In Korea accompanied by the return of all war prison ers to their homelands. "This Is the way for the settle ment of the Korean war. This la the way for abatement of ten sion," he told the throng which had gathered In expectation of a vital major policy speech. tewtf.

Ballot Measure - No. 8 Liquor-by-Drink Plan Coming Up for a Vote (This ts the elkhth in s aeries of articles discussing the various measures to be voted upon -in Oregon Nov. 4. Ed note.) . By HALE 8CARBR0UGH The Slate of Oregon Is In the liquor business up to Its proverbial neck, and has been ever since the people of the state voted to end prohibition back in 1933. On sev eral occasions the people have re sisted efforts to get the state out of that particular business, and restore the supposed "bone-dry- ness of tne prohibition era. There Isn't any prohibition measure Up before the Oregon voters this year. The one liquor measure on the ballot has to do with how the state allows liquor business to be conducted at the retail end. 323-329: A constitutional amend ment authorising alcoholic Uauor sale by the individual glass. oe intent or this particular pro posed constitutional amendment, Football Scores Ohio State 35 Washington State 7 Mich.

Stabilization Board (WSB) Satur day chopped 21 per cent off the $1.90 daily wage boost won from coal operators by John L. Lewis., It was taken for granted tne re-' fusal to approve the full amount would set off a general nunc strike. Public members of the board. Joined with industry members In knocking 40 cents off the Increase. Labor members voted to approve the full $1.90. More than 150.000 of Lewis' min ers already had walked off the Job In a protest strike this week when their October pay checks fail ed to include the raise. Few mmes work over the week end, but a general shutdown was, expected to occur Monday. Coal stockpiles In the hands of consumers averaged around 80 daya and no Immediate industrial or home hating effect from the anti cipated strike was expected. The WSB ruling on the case was a major surprise. EQUAL TREATMENT Cox told a news conference that. the $1.50 gives the soft coal miners "equal treatment" with other wage groups, most of whom he said "will have received measurably less." Approval of the full amount. Cox said, would have provided a wage increase "greater than any con sistent with an honest stabilization program." Failure of the wage Increase to show ud In recent pay checks cov-. erlng the first Part of October led to a walkout ot more than 160,000 soft coal miners. Their protesb ' rstrike. which spread through the coal fields all week long, needed no prodding from Lewis. Jt ap peared more as a reflex action they felt their contract was not being honored. Actually, the new contract could not be honored legally without; WSB approval. The amount of the raise Is nearly twice as much as that which cost-of-living pay reg ulations automatically allow. JUSTIFIED But labor members ot the lo rn an board argue during board deliberations the past four days that other pay regulations, coupled with the rise In the cost of living since last winter. Justified approv al of the contract. Most coal mines are shut down over the week end. But approval of the pay hike today would seem certain to send all the miners back to work Monday. Should the board decide the wage boost is too high and order it cut back, next week would prob ably bring the first full-scale coal strike since the long dispute over the 194f contract. Since coal stock piles today are near a three-month level, no Immediate hardship was likely. which was Initiated by an organi sation calling Itself the "Buy Less Than the Bottle Committee", Is to, allow the sale of hard liquor by the drink in various types ot pri vate and fraternal clubs, on rail road trains, and In commercial establishments where food is cooked and served, such as hotels and restaurants. At present such sales are out lawed. It's permlssable to buy bottle (a pint or more) in Oregon, at a state liquor store, but not to buy one drink over a bar. To get a drink over the bar, a person must obtain his own bottle of liquor at a state store, take It. to the bar or night club of his choice and check it in (as he would a coat or hat, and then buy his drink out of his own bottle, pay-! ing a charge for the service and the mixing ingredients. The arguments against this sys tem are many and varied. The system Is silly, people In favor of a liquor-by-the-drlnk sys tem argue. A person first has to buy a bottle from a store I be tween noon and 8 p.m.), and then has to buy It back again by the drink to get service over a bar. The system does nothing to pro mote moderation. A person who wants only one drink or a couple has to buy a whole bottle to get It. And once a good many people get a whole bottle, they don't stop drinking until It's all gone. You can get Just as drunk in Oregon as In any stale where liquor Is sold over the bar by the drink. The system makes Oregon seem foolish oi the eyes of outsiders. Tourists passing through or vis iting in the state have to first buy a license to buy a bottle, then have to buy a bottle, take it to bar and buy it back again to get a drink. rRESSURE The system lllcially Invites at tempts at evasion, in the constant pressure put on club operators and bartenders for a by-the-drtnk sale. The system Invites a shadowy system of espionage In Its enforce ment. For example, the case of a man who came to a certain lodge here In town, showed a mem bership card and, because be waa Cenllnaed ea fege 1) I
