SP Doesn't Need WP
To Save $6.2 Million
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI1 At
torneys opposing Southern Pa.
cific's bid (or control of Western
Pacific argued Wednesday during.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Bank Sued
For $50,000
A woman who claims that the
First National Bank of Oregon
wrongfully applied some' of her
money in payment of an old loan
has filed suit against the bank lor
more than $50,000.
The woman, Doris R. Duarte,
said in her suit that she and her
ex-husband, Ralph V. Richards,
signed "what purported to be a
promissory note" in 1953 at the
South Sixth Street branch of the
bank in Klamath Falls.
In April of this year, Mrs. Du
arte said she made a deposit at
the Lakeview branch of the bank.
The bank debited her account to
ward payment of the note. Mrs.
Duarte said, and five of her
checks were subsequently returned
for insufficient funds.
The note, if any, is beyond the
statute of limitations, Mrs. Du
arte contends, and she is asking
for $910.34 general damages (the
value of the five checks! and
$50,000 in special damages.

hearings that SP does not need
control of the smaller railroad to
achieve the $6.2 million savings
it seeks.
Southern Pacific contends that
stock control of Western Pacific
is necessary to effect 18 consolida
tions of wastefully duplicating fa
cilities. Santa Fe, which also is
seeking to take over WP, has pro
posed similar projects to save $4.8
million.
Calvin L. Rampton. o( the Utah
Citizens Rate Association, won ad
missions from several SP execu
tives that each project would be
feasible with Southern Pacific con
trol.
But they said under cross-ex
amination. the two railroads have
not been able to reach agreement
because each side insisted on the
best terms.
William A. Jakele, Southern Pa
cific general manager, said that
one project has been the subject
of sporadic negotiations since 1929
without result. But the SP witness
es said consolidation disputes had
never been submitted to arbitra
tion by the ICC or any other such
group.
Earlier in the hearings, SP pres
ident Donald J. Russell said em
phatically that his firm had nev
er considered arbitration by the
ICC. A Western Pacific spokesman
said his company also has reject
ed possible arbitration.
The ICC has never been request

in the past, but some attorneys
thought it would have the power
to do so if it wished and was
asked.
However, the ICC has arbitrated
similar arguments when existing
agreements expired and when
disputing parties to the contract
had sought the commission's help.
The arbitration question was
brought up by attorneys who
urged that the Western Pacific be
kept independent. They represent
ed various state regulatory agen
cies, labor associations and other
groups.
Southern Pacific witnesses, in
other testimony, gave figures indi
cating that a Southern Pacific vie.

jobs. But William D. Lamprecht,
a vice president, said the job loss
would occur over several years
and would be absorbed by normal
job attrition.

Kennedy Plans 'Unpopular' This Senator Believes
WASHINGTON (API - Sen.
Andrew F. Schoeppel, R-Kan.,
predicted today that President
Kennedy will get some disappoint
ing political news about his pro
gram in a 10-city series of re
gional conferences ne:;t month.
Schoeppel, a member of the
Senate Republican Policy Com

believes that teams of cabinet
members and other officials sent
to discuss domestic issues with
local representatives will find
many Kennedy proposals unpop
ular with the people.
. "The people are going to be
telling their senators and House mayors, Kennedy said the topics would be made to build up sup-
members what they think about
these programs, Schoeppel said.
"I think they will have more con
fidence in their elected represent
atives than in any political prom
ises these teams make."
Kennedy announced Wednesday
that meetings w ill be held in Chi
cago, St. Louis, Houston. Nash

to revoke the club's beer and
liquor licenses and Schamel's bar
tending license.
A commission hearing on July
28 contended that the club was
engaged in illegal profit splitting
with an unnamed third person.
The commission decided on Sept.
21 to revoke the licenses.
In their complaints, the Ander
sons and Schamel claim that the
commission's action was "arbitra
ry, capricious and abusive." They
further claim that there was a
lack of evidence to support the
profit splitting charge. The An
dersons seek to have the order
rescinded and their licenses re
turned and Schamel wants his bar
tending license back.

NEW YORK (API Belle Davis
lias filed a million-dollar libel suit
against Modern Screen magazine,
charging an article ' in the May
issue depicted her as an aging
has-been actress with no future.
The suit, against Dell Publish
ing Co., came to light Wednesday
when Dell moved in State Su
preme Court to strike out por
tions of the complaint, including
those alleging maiice.
Miss Davis, twice an Academy
award winner, contended the
article had conveyed the impres
sion that she was "a pathetic,
grotesque, ridiculous and eccen
tric person who occupied herself
by morosely ruminating about her
past glories and by facing the
future hopelessly and fearfully."
The result, says Miss Davis in
her suit, was to hold her up to
public ridicule and contempt.
Actually, Miss Davis contended,
she is in constant demand by
Broadway producers and Holly-,
wood film companies. The actress
gives her age as 53.

Why do we hang this sign in our fireproof brewery?
y Public Ortflnn
Where there's smoke, there's furor.
Nothing upsets our head brewmaster more
than seeing someone smoking in the brew
ery. He has nothinpoagainst smoking, mind
you. In fact, he likes nothing better than a
good cigar with his beer after dinner. Why
No Smoking, then, especially in a building
that's about as fireproof as a building can get?
Well, it g&s back three generations to Fritz
Sick, the first of his family to b?ew in this
country. He believed that if smoke got into
the beer during the brewing process, it would
alter the flavor. (Ilo picked up that piece of
information0 from some old-time, old-world
brewmasters.) Therefore, he refused to allow
one whiff of smoke any place near the vats.
0 Fritz Sick was right about smoke and its
effecOSo, today, even with our modern brew
ing equipment, we still follow the old rule: No
Smoking. We've even gone so far as to build
the power plant smoke stacks extra high so
the smoke would drift harmlessly away. And
if our personnel want to smoke, they go out
sideto the downwind side of the brewery.
So if you ever come to visit
us (for our personalized tour)
please put out cigarettes in
tOe ash trays we provide.
You'll have a better glass of
beer for vour small sacrifice.
