Burning
Shelton City Attorney B.
Franklin Heuston, in an answer to
a smt filed against the city by the
Olympic Air Pollution Control
Authority to halt burning at the
city garbage dump cited several
reasons why the city contends the
regulations should not be
enforced.
The answer to the suit denies
the regulation under which the
suit was filed was properly
enacted and that it was in full
force and effect or that it was
valid. The answer also denies the
city dump operation is under the
jurisdiction of the Olympic Air
Pollution Control Authority and
denies the burning is unlawful or
is in violation of the Pollution
Control regulation.
The answer also states if the
garbage at the dump was allowed
to collect and not burned, it
would constitute a fire hazard and
would cause ground water
pollution.
The answer filed in the suit
also states the operation of the
disposal system by methods
presently used does not
contribute to air contaminents in
sufficient quantity and of such a
character as to be harmful.
The suit was filed by the
Pollution Control Authority after
it announced regulations which
prohibit burning at garbage
dumps under its jurisdiction.
Operators of dumps were allowed
to apply for and in most cases
were granted a permit which
allowed them to continue burning
while seeking other methods of
disposal.
The city of Shelton did not
apply for a permit, and, the city
in a letter prepared by Heuston
denied the city dump operation
came under the jurisdiction of the
pollution control authority.

search of the Miskinis house, he
had gone on another detail and
had had no further contact with
the incident. He stated before
they left, he and Shoening had
searched the area where Selby had
been observed to run, but, had
found nothing.
Sgt. James Sisson of the
Sheriff's Office testified he had
been with Shoening and Gorman
when they first spotted Selby and
Miskinis in the alley and that he
had observed Selby run behind
the garage adjoining the alley.
Leading off as a witness for
the defense was David Miskinis,
"Y~__, an inmate at the Washington
Corrections Center. Miskinis said
he had been at the Corrections
Center about 15 months after
being sentenced on a charge of
grand larceny.
He testified he had called
Selby the evening of Dec. 21 and
asked him to stay overnight and
that he had then gone to Selby's
holne, walking part of the way
and catching a ride the rest.

Speaking on the internal crisis
in the U.S. today, Donald W.
Moos, director of the State
Department of Agriculture, spoke
to the Mason County Republican
Central Committee's Lincoln Day
Dinner last week.
Moos opened his talk with a
review of Lincoln'slife and
involvement in politics.
Commenting on the campus is
the place ~,(~tefre~y'O~lll~g minds are
rebelling, where a new and
uncommitted generation, largely
born to affluence and frequently
raised in boredom sees no honor
in war, no justice in poverty and
no hope for their solution.
Moos said "I come here
tonight" firm in the conviction
that America needs to establish
new priorities. That we need
desperately to come to grips not
just with the protection of life
and property, but with• the
resurrection of national purpose
and the enhancement of human
values."
At another point he
commented "violence is
intolerable. Yet in a time of
turmoil, violence is no greater sin
than ignorance. For violence may
temporarily disrupt society, but
ignorance will most assuredly
destroy it.
"'And those who ignore the
realities of conflict, those who
assign the troubles of a great
nation' to the youth, to the black,
to the hippies and the yippies and
the leftists and the rightists miss a
very fundamental point. It is not
the radicals and the militants who
pose the greatest threat to
America. It is the great silent
majority - the legions of affluent
Americans who sit idly by while
the nation fights for its future.
"It is about time that the
citizens of this country began to
take stock of themselves. |t is
about time that we stopped
yelling 'law and order' and
'victory at any cost' at the top of
our lungs, and b,egan to assess our

problems with candor and
honesty. It is about time we
recognize that this democracy can
survive violence and protest, but
it cannot survive ignorance and
war and poverty and, above all,
the citizen who says 'protect me
but don't involve me' "
Moos urged his listeners to
become involved in solving the
problems of America.
Sel VanderWegen acted as
master of ceremonies for the
program.
Entertainment was provided
by the Shelton High School swing
choir and stage band who each
presented several numbers.

Jury Gives
Damages
A Mason County Superior
Court jury, after hearing ahnost
eight days of testimony, last week
awarded Mr. and Mrs. James
Dailey, $1,039.36 and Mr. and
Mrs. August Grisel $12,000 in
their suit against Walter Goodat,
Portland.
The suit was the result of
injuries Mrs. Dailey and Mrs.
Grisel claimed they received when
the car Mrs. Dailey was driving
and in which Mrs. Grisel was a
passenger, ran over an iron pipe
which fell from Goodat's truck as
the two vehicles met on the
highway near where the freeway
starts at Cole Road in November,
1968.
Two other defendants who
had been in the case originally,
Frederick Dyson, Seattle, and the
State of Washington, were
dismissed from it during the trial
by Judge tfewitt Henry.
The jury case which was to
have been heard this week, that of
former Tacoma City Manager
Floyd Olds against several
members of a recall committee in
Tacoma,went off the docket
when itwas 'dismissed after a
hearingon a motion by the
defendants in Olympia Monday.
The next case scheduled for
the jury session is set for Monday,
that of Jack Hogenson, an appeal
of a Justice Court COlWiction for
possession of marijuana.

Miskinis said he and Selby had
then started to walk back to his
(Miskinis') home and as they
approached through the alley,
they saw the Sheriff's deputies
surrounding the house.
Miskinis said when he spotted
the deputies, he gave Selby the
packages he had in his jacket
pocket and asked him to hide
them. The officers were not
looking, Miskinis said, when Selby
was handed the packages.
Miskinis said he did not
believe Selby knew what was in
the packages. He stated the drugs
in the packages were owned by
Weatherbie and that Selby had no
ownership in them.
Miskinis ',stated Selby hid the
packages in the brush after they
were handed to him.
He said after the house was
searched, he and Weatherbie were
taken into custody, but, Selby
was not. Miskinis said he made
arrangements for Selby to stay
with .his (Miskinis') grandfather,
who was 84 years old and blind.
Miskinis testified he went
back to the scene later with
Shoening and they found the
package which had been hidden
under a bush. It took about 10 or
15 minutes to find it, he said,
since while he knew the general
area in which it was hidden, he
did not know the specific
location.
After finding the package and
leaving it where it had been
found, Miskinis said, he and
Shoening returned to the court
house where a discussion took
place between Shoening, Sisson
and Weatl~erbie.
Miskinis stated he made the
call to Selby at the suggestion of
Sisson and Weatherbie, and, at the
time he made it, it was his
understanding the drug charges
would be dropped.
The charges were later
dismissed, he said, but through
the efforts of his attorney, not
