 Win Verdict In Lowsuit
 Plaintiff Failed
 To Prove 0ase,
 Rules Judge

Holding that William Gross oi Plymouth failed to sustain the bur- den of proof as to negligence in his s050 civil action against Jo- seph Rubbo. and his son, Anthony, both of this city, Common Pleas Court Judge Richard s. Swain yes- terday afternoon handed down a Judgment for the defendants.
 The plaintiff had claimed his car was damaged December 8, when 1t was struck from the rear by one owned by the father and operated by the son. The plaintiffs car was parked on North Main Street near Easton Avenue.
 The jurist points out in his memorandum of decision that the defendants car was forced to turn to the right to avoid another ve- hicle which suddenly came up, and consequently struck the rear of the plaintiffs car.
 Judge Swain refers to the re- pair bill of $40O presented by the plaintiff. and states there was seri- ous doubt as to its reasonable ness and accuracy. He also states the claim that the front end of the car was damaged was questionable.
