START EVIDENCE
 IN $1O,OOO SUIT
Double Damages Recently Allowed in Companion
 Case Involving Accident

The $10,000 civil action of Joseph Cali against Pasquale Scalo and Lucy w. Venziento was started be- fore Judge John F. McDonough in the court of common pleas yester- day afternoon.
 The suit is a companion case of the one of the one in which Joseph Tedesco was allowed double dam ages amounting to $3,548 in the Superior court by Judge Frank P. McEvoy week ago.
 Cali was driving a truck on North Main street with Tedesco as a pas Senger on last June 12. Scalo it is alleged was operating a truck own- ed by Lucy Venzianto so as to block the way of Calli's truck. Judge Mo- Evoy found that Scalo had threat ened Tedesco just before the acci- dent and had driven his truck along side of Calli's and told him to pull into the curb and get out and fight. When Calli refused to do this, it IS claimed Scalo pulled his truck ahead of Calli's and made a sudden stop causing Cali to turn out of the roadway and hit telegraph pole.
 The double damages was the re- suit of Judge McEvoy finding that the acts of Cali were wilful.
 Numerous injuries are listed by Cali in the present suit.

Washington Children Are Not Awed By Capital Celebrities
For Example,
 Take the Children Of Court Justice William o. Douglas
By GERRY DICK

Washington Infringing up chil- dren is pretty much the same whether you do it in Washington, D. C., or Spokane. For example, pretty and youthful Mrs. William O. Gouglas, wife of the newest sue preme court justice, and mother of two children, says
 My job as a mother isn't diff weren't here-but of course there are differences for the chill dren ."
 It's one thing to walk by the White House on the way to school as many Washington youngsters do, stopping to feed the squirrels in the presidents front yard, and another thing to be invited inside, as the Douglas children are, when the Roosevelt grandchildren are en- tertaining. UNAFFECTED
 BY PRIVILEGES
 But partly because the children of Washington officialdom take this as matter of course, and partly because Mrs. Douglas is an intelli- gent mother and herself unaffected this experience has never made ten year old Mildred and seven year old William O. Douglas II feel superior
 When Mildred came home after her first White House party, she reported to her mother that the young guests had a bad moment when, after refreshments were served, Mrs. Roosevelt came into the room. We all looked at each other sort of queer," she said, then someone stood up. So we all stood up, and that was right"
 Certainly Mrs. Douglas has not allowed her husbands prominence in national affairs to affect the naturalness of her two children While she was talking, Mildred came into the room to ask if she might gc to the Saturday matinee at a local movie house.
 When she was introduced, she hesitated a moment before sht dropped curtsy, probably realizing that a young lady dressed as g rocket-ship aviatrix was placed ir an anomalous position by sucf earth bound manners.
