PASSOVER
Dismissed
From Suits

Court orders dismissing two
suits against Lloyd G. Kestin
by Columbia Construction Co.,
were signed Thursday by Frank.
lin county Superior Court Judge
B. B. Horrigan. aa 90
Kestin, Pasco school teacher.
was sued during publication of
a series of articles in the Tri-
City Herald regarding a West
Pasco housing unit.
The court action lifted a writ
OF punishment against Kestin
and also dismissed him from
a 100000 libel suit filed against
the Tri-City Herald and others
by Columbia. "
One suit was filed against
Kestin after he refused to sign
mortgages on his house. Kestin
said then he wouldn't sign UNI
til he was assured Certain
faults" would be corrected. He
listed them as poor workman
ship, a plumbing system that
does not meet state health re-.
quirements and an over ap-
praisal of price,"
Columbia then offered to ar.
bitrate the matter if Kerstin
would sign the mortgage before
alleged faults, it found by the
arbitratorS, were corrected. ~
kestin objected. He said he
would sign only after correc-
tions were made. However he
and about 20 other buyers of
Columbia built homes finally
agreed to arbitrate. The agree
ment provided that the suits
against Kestin would be dismiss
ed.
NEWSPAPER RESTRAINED @
Earlier, Columbia obtained a
temporary restraining order
against publication of series
Of articles in The Herald which
discussed the construction of
the houses. They claimed dam.
ages totaling 100000 by articles
already published.
Several days later the re-
straining order against The Her
aid was dissolved and the fourth
article was published.
Both the court orders dismiss
ing Kestin from the suits were
brought on motion Of Columbia.

New-Type Rocket
Tested for Flight
| Above $50 Miles
By the Associated Press

American experimenters dis
closed today that they have been
testing a new type of missile
which they hope will soon break
the present 25O-mile altitude rec
ord for rockets.
The new design is a multi
stage" affair, presumably using a
combination of three or more
rockets to go off at intervals. It
has been test-f1red at short, low
ranges in recent months, and
there are tentative plans for a
new high-altitude test, perhaps in
February.
The record breaking rocket
fired from the White Sands, N
Mex, proving ground last Febru-
ary used liquid fuel somewhat
similar to the wartime fuels
powering German wartime mis-
siles.
The new experiments are being
made with solid fuels theoretically
capable of producing much higher
speed and thus greater range
| horizontally or vertically.
