Shaw Wins Case
Against Hassler
Verdict of $4,000 For Breach
of Contract for State
Agency

Columbia. Nov. 1.-THE jury in
the case Of David C. Shaw of Co.
lumbia VS.. Robert II. Hassler, Inc.
Of Indianapolis, Ind, ct al, which
has been on trial at the federal
court since last Tuesday, returned
a verdict yesterday morning, hold
ing the defendant guilty of breach
Of contract and awarding the
plaintiff $4,000 actual damages.
Mr. Shaw sued for s175,000.
The suit. the first evil case to
be tried at this term Of federal
court, grew out of an alleged
breach of contract regarding the
state agency for automobile shock
absorbers, manufactured by the
Hassler company. The agency for
South Carolina, Mr.. Shaw testified,
was given him by the Hassler COM
pany, which contracted with him,
he said, to give him exclusive dis
tributing rights in the state for a
period of not less than five years.
Under this contract, Mr.. Shaw said,
he accepted and sold one car load
Of the shock absorbers, building up
at the same time a sales force
throughout the state. A second
car of the shock absorbers arrived,
Mr. Shaw testified, and he was no
titled that he was no longer sta e
agent and the Columbia Compress
company, instructed not to deliver
the car to Mr.. Shaw, refused to
turn it over to him. The defend
ant claimed the right to terminate
the contract and also set up the
plea tha: Mr. Shaw by his alleged
failure to pay for the car had in
effect cancelled the contract.
This is the second time that the
case has been tried, the first hear
ing of the case, also at the Colum-
bia term OF federal coutr, having
resulted in Il miStria!

We wish to sit with YOU at the
table of international understand

science we are eager to meet you
frankly, and invite and offer coop

Der contemplation of the existing
order and the realization that there
can be no cure without sacrifice,
not by one of US, but by all Of US.
! I do not mean surrendered rights.
or narrowed freedom, Or denied as
pirations, or ignored national ne
cessities. Our Republic would no
more ask for these than it would
give. no pride need be humbled.
no nationality submerged, but I
would have a mergence of minds
committing all OF us 70 less prep
aration for war and more enjoy
ment of fortunate peace.
The higher hopes come Of the
spirit Of our coming together. 1t
is but just to recognize varying
needs and peel ia r positions.
Nothing can be accomplished in
disregard of national apprehen-
sions. Rather, we should act to-
gether to remove the causes Of ap-
prehensions. This is not to be
done in intrigue. Greater assur-
ance is found in the exchanges Of
simple honesty and directness,
among men resolved to accomplish
as becomes leaders among nations,
when civilization itself has come to
it's crucial test.
1t is not to be challenged that
government fails when the excess
of it's cost robs the people Of the
way to happiness and the oppor-
tunity to achieve. If the finer SEN
timents We're not urging, the cold,
hard facts Of excessive cost and the
eloouence Of economies would urge
us to reduce our armamentS. II
the concept Of a better order does
not appeal. then let us ponder the
burden and the blight Of continued
competition.
1t is not to be denied that the
world has swung along throughout
the ages without needing this call
from the kindlier hearts of men.
But the same world never before
was so tragically brought to reali-
zation of the utter futility of pas
sion's sway when reason and con-
science and fellowship point a nobl-
er way.
I can speak officially only for our
United States. Our hundred mill
