becomes too hot; and Wednesday
i was a hot day, relatively speak

; tin Road. At the 600 foot point it
i joins to the Winston- Dilard Dist

Unintentional
Libel Bill May Be
Unconstitutional
SALEM ( The House-passed
a bill to reduce damages for un
intentional libel ran into reports
Wednesday that it is unconstitu
tional. At a Senate State and Federal
A-f'airs Committee hearing. Sens.
PMlip B. Lowry, Medford; Carl H.
Francis, Dayton; and Warren Gill
Lebanon, said it violates the Consti
tution. All are lawyers.
The bill would limit damages for
unintentional libel to the actua1
amount of damages, thus ruling
out punitive damages. The publish-;
or would have to publisn a retrac
tion. Asst. Atty. Gen. Lloyd G. Ham
mel also said there is "extremelv
grave doubt" as to whether the bill
is constitutional.
The bill, he said, would out the
burden of proof on the plaintiff.
Now this burden rests on the pub
lisher. Lowry, while sympathetic to the
hill's aim, said the bill would un
constitutionally limit the right of
an individual to have a complete
remedy at law for injuries.
Tom Purcell, publisher of the
Gresham Outlook, said publishers
should he protected from "willv
nilly" libel suits. He sa'd small
newspapers can't afford libel in
surance. I
Philip N. Bladine. editor of the
McMiinnville News Register, said j
a small paper could be driven j
t"to bankruptcy by an accidental
libel. t
Rop. George Layman. Newberg
lawver who introduced the bill, and
Carl Webb, manager of the Ore
gon Newsnaoer Publishers Assn.,
also testified for the bill.
