According to a Stanford Daily associate editor, Morse said he was beaten by four white youths when he went looking for a mailbox one evening. He told the newsmen that he was relieved when he realized he would only be beaten and not killed, said the Daily associate editor, Nancy Steffan. Morse attacked the press for not publicizing many bombings, beatings and arrests in areas of Mississippi where registration campaigns are being held. He said a summary of incidents in Mississippi, prepared by the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in Georgia, has revealed many beatings of voter registration workers who were subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct. The summary also listed bombings of churches and homes of Negroes who supported the registration campaign.

Supervisor William D. Fusselman said there needs to be control over abuses, but the people should have a chance to review the ordinance and comment upon it. Mayor Robert D. Carrow of Novato, who has been pushing for the ordinance before the board since June, said substandard development on unincorporated land contiguous to Novato has had a detrimental effect on the city. Alfred Belluci, vice chairman of the Novato Planning Commission, said the lot-split ordinance has eliminated circumventing of the subdivision ordinance, has created more orderly development of small lots and made lots more saleable.

County Counsel Douglas J. Maloney said this ordinance will achieve what Novato has requested. Attorney Charles W. Pierce, representing West Marin property owners, opposed. The board also received letters from Ruth E.

Lockhart of Point Reyes and J. T. Armstrong of Marshall opposing the ordinance. Richard Nelson, Fairfax city engineer, spoke in favor of it, and the Leagues of Women Voters of Central and Southern Marin submitted a letter backing the ordinance. The ordinance is designed to cover divisions of land not regulated by the subdivision ordinance.

Its requirements include adequate utility services, adequate provision for storm drainage, adequate lot design, improvement and circulation for streets.

Truce Reached By Luff, Garland SANTA MONICA (UPD Producer Sid Luft has failed to win full custody of his two children by Judy Garland.

The complaint alleges Mrs. was never informed that the plate had broken, although the defendants or should have it. The metal plate, eight inches long and made of stainless steel, was manufactured by Zimmer Manufacturing whose distributor is named defendant in the second portion of the complaint.

The plate is described as having been affixed to the bone with eight small screws and a stainless steel hip screw four and three-fourths inches long Contention of the suit is that either (a) the doctors and hos pital were at fault in improperly installing the plate so that it broke, or (b) the plate was defective, placing the blame on the manufacturer. Attorney Buresh said that while one million dollars general damages is asked in each part of the action, that is the total sought, the action being in two parts to fix responsibility on either the hospital and doctors or the manufacturer.
