Miller-Lux
Case Reopens
SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-A new
phase of the vastly complicated
suit over the Miller-Lux holdings
was taken under submission Fri
day by Federal Judge Oliver J.
Carter.
The new phase involved motions
by the 68 defendants in the $100
million fraud suit. The suit itself
involves the trustees and heirs-
grandchildren and great grand
children ol cattle baron Henry
Miller.
Friday motions asked that, the
case either be dismissed or there
be a change of venue to the north
ern division of the southern fed
eral district court. The northern
division sits in Fresno.
Attorneys for the defendants ar
gued that the land in question
45 square miles lies within the
area of the Fresno court and there
fore it is a local case and out of
the jurisdiction of the San Fran
cisco court.
The attorneys included James D.
Adams and Rodney K. Potter. De
fendants include several large
banking and oil companies.

top public enemies since the most
famous of all recent robber gang
leaders Mansingh was killed by
ponce about a year ago.
The dispatches said Putli led
her men into Dati Wednesday be
cause she suspected its inhabit
ants had given information about
ber to the police.
Putli was described as riding at
the head of the band, mounted
side saddle on a horse and carry
ing a rifle. She reportedly ordered
her gang to tie 19 villagers to
trees and then shoot them.
Five were still alive, but in
serious condition, when police ar
rived.
Robber gangs in Indian are
called Dacoits. It took hundreds
of police operating as a small
army to flush Mansingh out of the
central Indian wilds. His crimes
reportedly ran into hundreds of
murders, kidnapings and lootings.
rums record was small time
compared to that, before the
Wednesday raid. But she was al
ready sufficiently notorious to be
the subject of legends, in the
countryside.
One story is that she some
times carries her small baby in
one arm and her rifle in the other
as she rides at the head of her
band.
There also is a story that she
ten in love with the bandit chief.
Mansingh, learned the tricks of
the Dacoit trade and then took
over his gang when police killed
him.

Modern Freeways Prove
Safest Method Of Travel
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM Wl The highway en
gineers didn't decide to build free
ways just because they are faster.
A major reason is that they are
safer. ,
The Oregon Highway Commis
sion recently received a report
from the federal Bureau of Public
Roads which summarizes an in
vestigation made in 19 states.
It shows that on freeways, such
as the R. H. Baldock Freeway be
tween Portland and Salem, the
traffic death rate is 2.8 per 100
million miles.
On expressways, where access
is only partly controlled and there
are crossings at grade, the rate
soars to 9.6, making this the most
dangerous type of construction as
far as fatalities are concernea.
The rate on the old two-lane con
vention highways is 8.0.
There are , 174 injuries per 100
million miles on freeways, 240 on
Court Upholds
Murder Term
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The
State Supreme Court has upheld
the conviction of Charles E. Cole
for the murder of Mrs. Helen
Roberts in Vallejo in November,
1954.
Cole's conviction previously had
been reversed by the state Dis
trict Court of Appeals on grounds
that the testimony of a patholo
gist, who had performed an autop
sy on Mrs. Roberts, was inadmiss
able. The state appealed the deci
sion. Cole was sentenced to life im
prisonment for shooting the 50-year-old
woman with whom he
had been living. Her body was
found later near a road in Sutter
County.
The pathologist testified that he
believed it impossible for the
wound which killed Mrs. Roberts
to have been self-inflicted.
In affirming Cole's conviction,
the Supreme Court said Friday
that a conclusion that doctor's tes
timony was inadmissable would
amount to holding that the jur
orsalthough inexperienced with
gun shot wounds in suicides
"could not have derived assist
ance from a doctor who was an
exnert on those matters and had
personally examined the body and
performed tne autopsy as a spec
ialist on cause of death."
DATE SET
PORTLAND Wl Portland's
Rose Festival will be held June
12-16 next year, me sponsoring
association reported Friday.
Leith Abbott, president of the
Rose Festival Assn., said no de
cision has yet been made on enter
tainment for the stadium shows.
CALHOUN'S
KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON
expressways or partly-controlled
access roads, and 408 on other
highways.
NO EXPRESSWAYS
Oregon won't have any express
way construction. It will be all
freeways from here on out.
Another study shows the same
results for freeways and express
ways inside metropolitan areas.
If the Baldock Freeway is to be
a pattern, the speed limit on Ore
gon s new freeways will be 70
miles an hour. This will apply on
uoutes 99 and 30.
Access to highways is limited
by purchasing the access rights
from abutting property owners.
The Highway Commission can
change present highways into
freeways as long, as there aren't
more than 10 business establish
ments per mile. The commission
will ask the Legislature to remove
that restriction.
It's usually too expensive, how
ever, to pay for access rights on
existing roads. So the commission
generally builds over entirely new
routes.
In 1947, the Highway Commis
sion asked the Legislature for per
mission to change existing high
ways into freeways. The Legis
lature aid, but put that 10 or
more restriction in.
That's when the commission first
decided to build the freeway be
tween fortland and Salem. It
couldn't possibly have changed
Pacific Highway East into a free
way with that restriction in the
law.
There was a big legislative
fight over that law in 1947. with
the motel owners vigorously op
posing it. There will be another
one in 1957.
The commission says it needs
to have the restriction removed
in order to comply with federal
regulations that will apply to re
construction ot U. S. 99 and 30.
Some parts of those present routes
will have to be made into free
ways.
RESTRICTION
The commission adds that if the
Legislature doesn't take action,
then the federal government will
come in and do the Job.
However, the commission isn't
just asking for unlimited rights
to restrict access on those two
routes. It wants to do it over the
whole highway system.
The commission reports that
nearly everybody thinks the Bal
dock Freeway is wonderful, but
there are some complaints.
r or instance, one state official
complains that the commission is
falling to put the mileage on high
way direction signs. A sign points
to Portland, for instance, but
doesn't sav how far it is.
The commission answers that It
can't put the mileage on the signs
until the construction program is
completed. With new construction
oroiccts constantly shortening dis
tances, (he commission would be
constantly changing the mileage
figures, too.
