Jacobs predicted additional frost
Friday night and Saturday.
The weather bureau said a storm
was needed to lift the blanket and
raise temperatures which at noun
tain points dropped below zero.
Valley lettuce growers, however
were not anxious for the blanket
to raise because the present cold
spell will prove an aid to market
conditions.
In the east and midwest the

few degrees above in the central
area. Snow flurries were expected
to accompany the rising tempera-
lures.

Sustain Demurrer
In Patterson Suit

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. CUP)-
Superior Judge Benjamin j. Scheni-
man today sustained demurrer to
the $25,C00 damage suit brought
against Lieut.. Gov. Ellis E. Patter-
son by Albert M. Hoist, formerly
one of the lieutenant governors
campaign managers.
The demurrer was filed by State
Senator Robert w. Kenney, repre-
senting Patterson, and was sus-
tanned without leave to amend,
equivalent to dismissal of the
charges.
Hoist alleged that contributors to
Patterson's campaign for United
States senator were promised GER
tain favors in exchange for their
contributions and that he was to
receive a percentage of the money
raised, which he estimated as at
least $4,000 but he did not get.
