Radio Network Fails In Civil Defense Test SALEM Iffl The failure of the civil defense radio network in Oregon to operate Friday in the defense exercise has left officials wondering what might havo hap pened if the attack had been real. Arthur M. Sheets, state civil defense director, said his agency was able to resort to telephones this time, but such an attack as simulated Friday would knock out the phones, too. To Fight Sheets said the only answer is to continue the fight for more and better frequencies. He added that unless this is done the state civil defense "won't be able to keep the military in business." The network operates between the state headquarters and the counties. It operates satisfactorily at night, Sheets added. Otherwise things went smoothly, Sheets said. He added that they had expected a five megaton bomb on the Portland city center instead of the two megaton wea pon, but they had guessed cor rectly on the one megaton device which was used in the simulated attack on the Portland Inter national Airport. State civil defense officials had trouble in verifying the make believe bombing of Grand Coulee Dam, but several hours after the supposed attack, received con firmation. It would send a 20 io 30 foot wall of water into the heart of Portland, civil defence officials said. Another Damage Action Filed Naming County A 'companion action against Douglas County and a county em ploye for $25,150 was filed Friday by Patricia Morgan in Circuit Court. The damage action arises out of the same traffic accident for which Patricia's mother, Mrs. Joyce N. Morgan, Chico, Calif., filed a com plaint Thursday seeking , $37,412. The complaints both name the county and Alfred E. Ervine as defendants. They allege that a truck driven by Ervine struck a car carrying the two plaintiffs on Highway 99 south of Roseburg Aug. 18, 1955. The action Ty Patricia, through her guardian ad litem, Edna E. Mc Kean, asks payment for a brain concussion and sprained cervical spine resulting in impaired vision claimed to be a result of the accident.

May Jr. has resigned as assistant chief counsel of the Oregon High way Commission to accept ap pointment as assistant general counsel for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads. The court reached its decision In four steps.. Some background is necessary to understand them: Every foreign country, being a sovereign power, has the right to try an American, civilian or serv iceman, for a crime commuted within its borders unless, by agree ment with the United States it willingly gives up its right to do so in certain cases. Terms of Agreement lhe United States worked out the following agreement with a number of countries where it has troops stationed, including Japan: 1. it an American, civilian or serviceman, commits a crime while not on official duty, as in the case of Japan, the Japanese are free to try him. 2. But the United States has first claim or primary right to try him for a crime committed in performance of duty or in certain other circumstances. 3. In cases where the United States has the primary right to try but Japan insists on bring ing him to trial this country will give "sympathetic considera tion" to the Japanese claim. In short, in such a case this country could turn a serviceman over to Japan even though the crime he committed was "in per formance of duty." Make No Denial The Japanese did not deny that Girard was on duty when he killed the woman while she was picking up empty shells on a maneuver area. Girard had been assigned to the area by his commanding offi cer to guard a machine gun. But the Japanese did argue his shooting the woman was not "in performance of duty." They asked to try Girard on a charge equiva lent to Manslaughter. Eventually, this country agreed to turn Girard over to the Japanese. Girards lawyers appeal to the Supreme Court. They said turn ing Girard 'over to Japan was a violation of his constitutional rights as a citizen. The Constitu tion guarantees a citizen in this country a right to trial by jury. In Japan judges do the trying. Steps Taken The court took the following steps in deciding not to interfere with the Eisenhower administra tion's decision to let Japan try Girard: 1. It found that an American in a foreign country has no immunity to trial by that country's govern ment unless it has agreed to let the United States, in some circum stances, try him. 2. It found that the agreement with Japan was not unconstitu tional. This country had made its agreement with Japan under a treaty approved by the Senate. The treaty therefore was constitution ally okay. 3. It found further that this agreement was not contrary to any existing American law. 4. Since there was no conflict with the Constitution or any law the court would not interfere with the constitutional right of the exe cutive branch of the government to conduct foreign affairs. This treaty came under foreign affairs. So the court refused to intervene for Girard. Sat. July 13, 1957 The News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. 3 It .'ftrVa, L.. l:uiHM I:!?'

It started when two California youngsters, Erie and Lars Hen derson, 11 and '9, appeared on a television show demonstrating some new cap pistols.
