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.

RESIGNS POST
PORTLAND I Robert L.
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.

Top 'Cunslingers' Of West
Vie Sunday In Trigger Test
SANTA FE, N.M. I There's
gonna be a gun fight in Santa Fe
Sunday. .
The sheriff will he there with a
posse, but he won't lift a trigger
finger to stop it.
No one will.
The site of the fight will be the
rodeo arena in Santa Fe in the
heart of Billy the Kid's old stomp
ing grounds.
Young Billys
There won't be real bullets In
the six-guns. The participants will
all be under 12, and they won't
really be shooting at each other,
just against each olher.
It started when two California
youngsters, Erie and Lars Hen
derson, 11 and '9, appeared on a
television show demonstrating
some new cap pistols.
They were touted as among the
fastest on the draw, and the Santa
Fo youngsters naturally feeling
that their and Billy the Kid's repu
tations were attacked chal
onged Eric and Lars to prove their
fast draws.
To Face 'Best
Twenty Santa Fa gunslingers
vied for the right to battle it out
with the Henderson boys, with Jan
ice Nicholson, 12, and Bill Reust,
10. emerging on top.
Two finalists from here and Eric
and Lars will compete against the
stop watch in four categories
fast draw, fast draw and fan one,
fast draw and fan five and twirling
and gun tricks.
The contest will come on the
last day of the four-day Santa Fe
Rodeo.
Janice and Bill each can draw in
two tenths of a second almost
too fast to see. They can draw
and fan one shot in three tenths
of a second, and draw and fan five
in one second flat.
