*345O’CONNELL, C. J.,
dissenting.
In Saum v. Bonar, 258 Or 532, 484 P2d 294 (1971), the conrt went part way in adopting the reasoning of the dissent in Flansberg v. Paulson, 239 Or 610, 399 P2d 356 (1965). I think that the court should now take the final step and permit the jury to return a verdict of special damages even though plaintiff has not shown that he incurred so-called “general damages.” I would reverse and reinstate the original verdict.
