Court Dismisses Suits

A damage suit for $4,000 brought
by Lillian Cation, 212 Tenth street
S.W-, and a $4,000 damage suit
filed by Sarah Morgan of the same
address against Gibbons Cullins, SOC
Seventh street SW., were dismissed

The suits grew out of injuries
resulting from an automobile acci-
dent on a trip from Washington to
Leonardtown, Md.
The court held that when the
driver of an automobile is suddenly
confronted with an emergency not
of his own making and is compelled
to act instantly, he is not guilty of
negligence If he makes a choice such
as a person Of ordinary prudence
would make in a similar situation,
even though it afterward develops
he might have made q wiser choice "

Paper Salvage Mark
SET by Students at
Shaw Junior High
$3.50 Pounds Turned In
Yesterday; General
Collections Soar

A new high mark for the current
collection of waste paper in The
Evening Star-P-TA Salvage-for-
Victory program was set yesterday
by Shaw Junior High School, which
turned in the very impressive total
of $3.50 pounds.
Shaw, which is located at Seventh
street and Rhode Island avenue
NV, was late starter in the last
campaign, but when it did swing
into action started out as though
intent on leading the city. Some
where along the line interest seemed
to lag, and while Shaw was among
the leaders, it failed to land among
the first five.
This year Shaw jumped away to
a good start with 2,021 pounds for
the first week. 1t now has a grand
total of 8,701 pounds, which, Incl
dentally. already has earned the
school approximately $50.
Total Skyrockets.
Collections on Monday OF this
week showed an excellent increase
over the first week. when only 4,239
pounds were picked up. This week
the total skyrocketed to 2O077
pounds. The first week, of course,
reflected the hasty start of the pro-
gram, when only a day of prepa-
ration was given.
With four more schools to be in
Evening star., 1943-10-20

cluded in next Mondays collection
it is probable that the totals will
be considerably better.
Among the big producers on Mon
day this week were Giddings with
1850 pounds, high for the day; Ran
dali Junior with 1862 pounds: JEFF
ferson Junior with 3,720 pounds
and Buchanan with 2,423 pounds.
Need Is Urgent.
Tomorrow and Friday. despite
the fact that there will be no
school sessions because Of ration
registration, collections of paper will
be made in districts 4 and 5. The
need for the waste paper is so urgent
that pupils helping in the program
are asked to take their paper to
school tomorrow and Friday just as
they would If classes were being
held
1t is probable that all of the pape,
collected at the schools up to yes
terday already has been made into
cardboard or boxboard. The mills
are so short of stock that clean
sorted paper, such as that picked
up at the schools, is rushed into
manufacture as rapidly as it is re
ceived.
Petworth, which last year finished
18th in the city, despite a total en-.
rollment of only 400, yesterday re.
joined the drive and Ambush also
announced its desire to re-enter

Appeals Court Dismisses
Suit PENDING 10 Years

Litigation brought 10 years ago by
Edwin J. Creel against his brother,
Robert T. Creel, his partner, when
their automobile supply business was
placed in receivership, was brought
to an end yesterday when the Court
of Appeals dismissed the complaint.
The appeal was from a District
Court decision in August, 1912, Or
dering sale Of the partnership assets.
The court in its opinion pointed
out that "the appellant is not repre-
sented by counsel, although we have
on at least three occasions, during
the 10-year period of this litigation.
advised him from the bench of the
desirability of his being so repre-
sented."
The suit contended the receiver
erred in employing Robert T. Creel
to operate the business, and that the
order of sale Improperly permits
either partner to bid as a purchaser
at the sale of the property.
The court held that neither of
these questions is foreclosed by the
dismissal of this appeal"
The two men organized Creel

pany, which continues to operate at
