Dr. Robert Garrett
Faces New Charge,
Needs New Lawyer
Monterey, Calif. (UPD Dr,
Robert Garrett was in need of
new legal counsel yesterday
after allegedly frightening his
attorney away by brandishing
an Arabian scimitar in his face
and getting arrested on as
sault charges filed by the law
yer. "I thought he was going to
kill me," Attorney Thomas S.
Montgomery said Friday after
fleeing from the doctor's of
fice. "I have never been so
frightened in my life."
Montgomery is the lawyer
who won acquittal for Garrett
in a sensational trial arly
this month on charges of incit
ing passion in female patients
by the use of "love potion"
drugs. Garrett is scheduled
to be tried again on one of the
charges next Tuesday.
"I'm not his lawyer any
more, I can tell you that," the
attorney 'said.
The 42 -year -old Seaside,
Calif., physician now also
faces the assault charges filed
by Montgomery. He was ar
rested and held until he could
raise $2,000 bail.
Montgomery told the dis
trict attorney he went to Gar
rett's apartment to discuss
next week's trial.
"He forced me into a chair
and I thought he was going to
kill me. He had an Arab knife
and he wouldn't let me out of
the chair for over an hour,"
the attorney said. .
"He ranted and raved about
a big mystery and how there
were a lot of people out to get
him," Montgomery said. When
Garrett turned to answer a
telephone, the- lawyer dashed
for the door. "I never ran so
fast in my life," he said.
What Is The
' This column is prepared as a public service by the
College of Law, Willametle University. Salem, to
explain -basic legal principles, not to provide legal
advice. The reader is cautioned not lo apply these cases
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for
differing facts may change the outcome. . ,
LIABILITY OF INSANE
PERSONS FOR CIVIL
WRONGS .
Wallace, one of White Bus
Lines' most experienced driv
ers who had an excellent safe
ty record for the eight years
he had driven buses, suddenly
became insane and apparently
lost control of the bus he was
driving. The bus struck
Green's parked ice truck, in
juring Green and damaging
the truck. Green brought a
legal action against White Bus
Lines on the basis that ' the
company was liable because
its agent had wrongfully in
jured him. This, of course,
raised the question of wheth
er or not an insane person
could be liable in damages for
his civil wrongs to others.
This New York court awarded
damages to Green on deciding
that mentally incompetent
person is liable for such
wrongs.
Difficult Question
This type of case presents
n extremely difficult ques
tion to the courts. There are
several explanations for hold
ing such persons responsible.
The most common explanation
is that if one of two innocent
persons must suffer a loss it
should be borne by the one
who caused it. These cases
look even more harsh when
we realize that a person will
not be held responsible if the
injuries were caused by an un
avoidable accident.
The District of Columbia
provided a good example of
this type of case. There a man
was taking some friends on a
Sunday afternoon drive. He
fainted, the car ran into a
ditch and one passenger was
injured. The injured passen
ger was not awarded damages
because the court said the ac
cident was unavoidable.
The driver of the car, it
was pointed out, had no way
of knowing he might faint. He
had not been ill and he felt
fine right up to the moment
of fainting.
Had Not Been 111
It is interesting to note that
Wallace, the bus driver who
suddenly went insane and in
jured Green, had not been ill
and there was nothing to in
dicate that he might suddenly

Indians fought many battles
in olden days.
lose control of himself, yet
he was held liable. If in either
of these two cases there had
been reason to anticipate such
an illness happening to the
driver, then it is much easier
to understand the liability
based on the fact that the per
son was negligent to under
take the driving of a motor
vehicle when he had reason
to believe that he might faint
or suddenly become mentally
incompetent.
There are many cases hold
ing the mentally incompetent
person liable . for his civil
wrongs. These-holdings cover
several different types of
cases ranging from false im
prisonment to alienation of
affections. Although the cases
are pretty much in agreement
in most of the states they have
been extensively criticized.
The law, of course, is always
changing and it is probably
safe to say that this rule re
garding civil libability of in
sane persons will undergo
many changes before it be
comes a settled "rule of law

The veteran First Sergeant's

Townsend also defended M.

Detroit - (CPU - The auto in
dustry is changing the na
tion's truck drivers so they
no longer fit the popular
image of a heavily-bearded,
heavily-muscled brute, built
to absorb the jolts of the
road.
The stereotyped truck driv
er of the past, who wrestled
the steering wheel of a large,
lumbering, noisy and smelly
behemoth of the highway, is
becoming a "vanishing Amer
ican." Change in Environment
The change has taken place
largely because of the change
in the environment of truck
drivers.
Major advances in the years
since World War II have
transformed trucks from mere
mechanical "work horses" to
stylish vehicles that now rival
passenger cars in safety and
comfort.
The trend actually began
slightly before the end of the
war but the slight advances
made suffered a setback when
the auto industry began pro
ducing military vehicles.
When the industry returned
to civilian production after
the war, the trend picked up
momentum and has advanced
far enough now to change
the qualifications of the na
tion's truck drivers. ,
The pre-war truck driver,
for example, had to have a
large frame to keep his vehicle
on the highway by brute
force.
Now power steering and
other improvements which
make control of the vehicle
almost as simple as. driving
a car have eliminated the
need for bulging biceps.
The huge frame of the pre
war truck driver- had to be
well-padded to absorb the
jolts as his cab bobbed along
the highway like a dingy tied
to an ocean liner on a rough
sea.
Now the need for personal
shock absorbers on the driver
has been eliminated by in
stalling air suspension, hy-
Silent' Film Era
Director Passes

Mickey Neilan, 65, who rose
from a penniless newsboy to
become one of the most cele

died Sunday night at the film
colony's Country Hospital in
nearby Woodland Hillls.
Neilan was admitted to the
hospital several months ago
suffering from an undisclosed
ailment. His condition became
critical only recently.
The onetime director aided
the careers of such movie
stars as Charlie Chaplin, Mary
Pickford, Blanche Sweet, and
the late Jean Harlow. He was

trucks.
Foam Rubber
One truck line, for exam
ple, boasts five inches of
foam rubber underneath the
driver and two inches of the
same , material behind him
when he is seated at the
wheel.
The same truck line offers
air suspension and shock ab
sorbers which make the truck
cab ride almost as smoothly
as pre-war passenger cars.
Perhaps the best indica
tion of the change in the na

obtained from the the fact
that one truck manufacturer

Gabor, 74, a well-known

The mother and three

two have seen him since but
not the whole family at once.
"We never even think of
going back to Hungary," Mag

Let's face it each year his
chances grow slimmer. For if
America's college crisis con

training that is so vital to suc

Today many college class
rooms are overcrowded. By
1967, applications are ex

time, faculty salaries are so
inadequate that increasing
numbers of qualified teachers
are seeking jobs in other
fields.

OUTSTANDING MAIL
TRIBUNE CARRIER
for the Month of September
BWS'.mTQ SUCCESS'
Topping the list of the Mail Tribune's carriers for the month of
September is Roy Atkins who has been delivering the Tribune in
S.W. Medford for the past three years.
Fourteen-year-old Roy has earned an enviable reputation that
was gained through hard work and a willingness to tackle most
anything. He not only has done a remarkable job of building up his
route to over 150 customers and maintaining that total, but is also
a willing substitute for other Mail Tribune Carriers, often delivering
two other routes besides his own in an afternoon. He also lends a will
ing hand in the circulation room by arriving early at the Tribune,
when there is a school holiday, to assist the motor carriers assemble
their papers and helping with the many odd obs that are necessary
to prepare the papers for delivery. There is never a day goes by,
according to Roy, that he does not learn something new and he feels
that the knowledge he has tucked away will someday be useful.
A Freshman at McLoughlin Jr. High School, Roy is a better than
average student, likes Math best of all his subjects and wants to con
tinue it in college where it will lead to an engineering degree. He
has inherited a consuming interest in mechanics from his father and
they spend many hours together building and repairing most any
type of machine in their home shop.
Roy's second interest is music.He has a good voice and can sing
either Baritone or Bass. He is a soloist in his church and school choir
and takes an active interest in the M Y F group at his church. He is
an ardent reader of fiction and biography, averaging 15 books a
month. His hobbies consist of coin and stamp collecting, fishing, and
helping his mother in the kitchen and his father with the many odd
chores necessary to the upkeep of their home.
Roy feels that he is lucky to have had the opportunity to deliver
a Mail Tribune route and to be able to take advantage of the many
learning situations that have come his way. Only one in ten boys
ever have the opportunity to manage a paper route because there
just isn't enough paper routes for every boy, and those boys wl
are successful route managers keep their routes because of the money
they earn and the valuable experience" they gain, which as Roy
says, "might come in handy some day."
