SIX WAYS BETTER
THAN THE NEXT-BEST TRUCK!
Odessan Awarded
$12,000 in Damages
HASKELL. April 17 (RNS) -
Settlement of $12,000 in a suit for
personal damages in the case of
W W Tindol of Odessa vs L. C.
Trucking Company of Austin, was
made in 39th District Court here
Monday. Defendant company also
agreed to pay court costs.
The suit, originally asking $49,-
410. was brought against the truck-
ing firm after an accident May 21.
1955 on U.S. Highway 277 five miles
north of Stamford, in which Tin-
dol, his wife Margaret, and their
six children sustained injuries.
According to depositions taken
in the case, the family car occu-
pied by the Tindols collided with a
truck owned by the defendant com-
pany while the heavy vehicle was
parked diagonally across the high-
way blocking both lanes of traffic.
It had rolled to this position when
the motor stalled after one of the
fuel tanks had been exhausted.
Brakes on the truck would not op-
erate when the engine was not
running. Driver of the truck was
Lawrence T. Williams of Odessa
In the collision two of the Tindol
children, Carl, 15. and Charles,
12, were seriously injured The par-
ents and other children received
cuts and bruises.
Attorneys representing the plain-
tiff were Dennis P Ratliff and
Curtis Pogue, Haskell. Attorneys
for the defendant were Lucian
Touchstone of Dallas, Hubert Wat-
son of Stamford, Royce Adkins and
Dale Condron, Haskell.

Galveston Jury
Didn't Try Maceos
SAN ANTONIO. April 17 —The
district attorney's office said to-
day that the case of Maceo and
Co., • Galveston amusement firm,
did not come before federal grand
jury investigation
More than 20 Houston and Gal-
veston residents were subpoenaed
by the grand jury in the Maceo
investigation. Four members of
the Maceo group are under indict-
ment on charges of income tax
violation. They are A.J. Adams.

Frank Maceo.
point on 34 district delegates Since
each Democratic delegate has
one-half vote, the returns were
equivalent to 21% convention votes
for the Meyner forces and 212 for
Kefauver.
Eisenhower was assured of New
Jersey's 38-vote delegation to the
Republican convention. A slate
pledged to him had only token op-
position.
Stevenson was not a contender
in the New Jersey primary and
did not appear in the state during
the campaign. His name was not
on the ballot
The unpledged slate generally is
regarded as friendly to Stevenson,
but Meyner has insisted it will
weigh the merits of all Democrat-
ic White House aspirants.
The President and Kefauver
were the lone candidates in the
presidential preference part of the
voting. Democrats could vote only
for Kefauver and Republicans for
Eisenhower—except for write-ins.
There was no ballot space pro-
vided for vice presidential write-
