State Supreme Court Decision Held To Be Violation of Jury Trial Right SACRAMENTO (CNS) — An opinion of the state supreme court which allegedly attacks the constitutional rights of the people of the state to jury trial was called to the attention of the public today by one of the courts' members, Justice Jesse W. Carter in a dissenting opinion. The court nullified an award made by a jury of $8300 to William H. Pirkle, a 13-year-old boy who lost his left kidney and spleen as the result of a "touch" football accident on the grounds of the Oakdale, Stanislaus county, grammar school. The majority of the supreme court found there was "no legal basis for a finding of negligence" against the school district, regardless of the fact that a jury heard the case and considered the facts sufficient to warrant the award. In his dissenting opinion, Justice Jesse W. Carter points out this particular case isn't the first time the majority of the court has trampled on the jury system. He says: "The decision which the majority of this court has rendered in this case resolving an issue of fact contrary to the conclusion reached by the jury and the trial judge is more far reaching than its effect upon the law applicable to this particular case. "In effect, it is an attack upon the jury system. By this decision, the majority of this court says to the people of California—you can write into your constitution and statutes that litigants in cases of this character are entitled to a trial by jury, but regardless of the determination by the jury of the factual issues, a majority of this court will have the last say as to the determination of the factual issues." This means that when a majority of this court desires to overthrow the factual determination by a jury it may do so regardless of the nature and charge. Supers Denounce UC Questionnaire As 'Communistic' A questionnaire prepared by the University of California, to be answered by county welfare seekers, was denounced yesterday by the Board of Supervisors as "communistic." Part of the questionnaire divided political bodies, labor unions, social workers, Catholics, Jews, communists, Negroes, and other classes into two categories: "friends" and "enemies." The old-age pensioners were asked whether or not they believed they were given a fair deal by the government, business, religions, and unions. County Welfare Director Thomas P. Douglas would have nothing to do with the four-page questionnaire, prepared by the Institute of Industrial Relations at the university, other than to condemn it. The form asked that people such as President Eisenhower, ex-President Truman, MacArthur, Governor Warren, Dr. Townsend, and others to be placed in either the friend or enemy class. Replies were asked to questions on whether or not old people should have special housing provided by the government, whether they would expect special rates on trains and buses, and whether they thought they should have a "day" set aside in their honor. PROBLEM — Orange city and county officials wrestling with a difficult grief — trash disposal. It is sorrowful that the average householder gives a passing thought. His trash out, city truck crews pick it up and haul the County Dump No. 4 or st. adjacent to the Santa Ana River. It is buried trenches. Trucks laden with use roll in and out of them from morning until night; flames consume everything is combustible. The same is of most of the other counted dumps. The acrid smells from these flames brought protests from those in the general vicinity of dump sites. The supervisor city officials are faced with difficult problem. Refuse does as it is now handled is coatively cheap compared to what would be if huge incinerator be built. If you've ever wondered what becomes of the city crews collect, drive to the dump—just off East St—and you might be surprised.

G. Thomason, local CARE chairman, from CARE's mission chief in the Netherlands. "Our representative cabled today that the people of Holland are braving themselves for a repetition this weekend of the tidal wave which swept away dikes with untold death and destruction," Thomason said. "In the face of these conditions, CARE's chief, who is supervising the distribution of CARE food and blanket packages, and studying other means of best helping the flood refugees, has urged increased assistance. Almost as soon as the flood struck, CARE was on the spot distributing $2000 worth of food and blankets to the first evacuees. Supplies came from CARE stockpiles in the Netherlands and neighboring areas. Tool and household linen packages now are being sped to the scene to help the victims rebuild. If the worst fears are realized, many more will be added to the lists of homeless and suffering this weekend." According to Thomason, more than $20,000 has been contributed by residents of the Los Angeles area for Holland's flood victims. Thomason voiced an urgent appeal today for additional help.

PROBLEM — Orange County city and county officials are restling with a difficult problem of trash disposal. It is something the average householder only loves a passing thought. He puts his trash out, city trucks and news pick it up and haul it to the County Dump No. 4 on Canal Avenue adjacent to the Santa Ana River in Olive. It is burned in enches. Trucks laden with refuse roll in and out of the dump from morning until night. Brisk fames consume everything that combustible. The same is true most of the other county-owned dumps. The acrid smoke rising from these flames have brought protests from those living in the general vicinity of these dump sites. The supervisors and city officials are faced with a difficult problem. Refuse disposal it is now handled is comparatively cheap compared to what it should be if huge incinerators had been built. If you've ever wondered what becomes of the trash the city crews collect, drive out the dump—just off East North—and you might be surprised.

Plant quarantine stations counted 200,900 cars, 21,816 trucks and 3672 busses during the month.

Dan Walker of the First Methodist church in Corvallis, Ore., famed as one of the greatest pulpit voices of the Pacific Northwest, will be the guest preacher at White Temple Methodist church this week for a "Spiritual Life Mission," designed to deepen the religious vitality of all ages and groups within the church. Rev. Walker recently was the featured speaker at Pasadena's annual YMCA week, and he has been assembly speaker at the Regional Youth Training Conference in Northern California. A native of Pomona, he has served pastorates in Palo Alto and in San Francisco before going to his present assignment which is directly across the street from the Oregon State College campus. He will preach at both the 9 and 11 a.m. morning services Sunday; at the 7 p.m. Sunday night service; and nightly throughout the week at 8 p.m. Special choirs will provide music for every service.

Refuse disposal it is now handled is comparatively cheap compared to what it would be if huge incinerators had been built.
