For example, Bob bought from Allan three acres situ ated along a small river two miles from the nearest high way. To get to his land, Bob had to travel across a field that a farmer, Carl, owned. Bob bulit a cabin on his land and continued to drive his car and truck across the field for ten years without securing Carl's permission.

The court denied the request, holding that Bob had acquired a right of way by prescription al though he had used the road for ten years without permis sion. , , A right of way can be ac quired by prescription when a person uses another's land for certain purposes for an extended period. In Oregon the period' is ten years. After that period has expired the owner can not stop the tres passer. By Implication Another means of securing a right of way is by impli cation. For 4 example, if Bob had purchased the land from the farmer, Carl, he would have acquired a right of way by implication. A court would presume that Carl would not intend to- sell a landlocked and useless tract of land to Bob when he has land which would serve as an access to the property. The courts as sume that the seller gives ac cess to the land by implication.- A , final means, known as express provision can also be used to acquire a right of way. If Carl, for example, had ex pressly given Bob the right to cross his . land for an indef inite period, then there would be little doubt as to Bob's rights. Most right of ways are acquired in this manner by public utilities and govern mental bodies.

(Continued From Page 1) We cannot abandon West Berlin under Communist pres sure no matter what the risks. For if we do, we might as well abandon all of Free Europe. There is no minimizing the sit uation created by return of the Kremlin to the hard, ruthless and bullying methods of Stal in. In this situation the Unit ed States, Great Britain and France must stand together in closest harmony. I know from past experience that if we stand up resolutely to the Rus sians when they are bent on mischief, they will babk down. We must meet each sit uation the - Communists pro voke, even if we have to use force to meet force. We once kept the lines open to Berlin by air, in face of tremendous narasnips. ot course, we could do it again, even if the odds are greater now. There are other ways and avenues of supplying West Berlin, in cluding certain Toutes over land and water, which I con sidered when I ordered the airlift into Berlin. Recommendations Asked At that time I called on the military chiefs for recommen dations on how we could sup ply West Berlin. We were going to supply West Berlin, whatever the risks. .We could not yield to Rus sia without exposing all of Europe to further Russian en croachments. There were sharp differences of opinion among the military as to the degrees of risk involved in the various methods of run ning the blockade. There were those in the Air Force who were hesitant be cause of the narrowness of the air corridor, the limited air strips and the prodigious amounts of tonnage that had to be flown. Fear was also ex pressed of possible interfer ence from hostile planes; and the weather was bad. I turned to the Army. The Army said it was prepared to send armed convoys and arm ored trains at once into Berlin through the blockade. I turn ed to the staff of the Air Command and said: "If you dont' think ybu can handle this task, I will turn the job over to the Army." Quick Resolution ' . Whereupon the air chiefs came to a quick resolution and said that they would take full, responsibility for supply ing West Berlin by air, start ing that day, and calling up all available craft and per sonnel. The rest is history. When Churchill and Attlee, Stalin and I met in Potsdam, we sought and got signed agree bents on three major things: First, we wanted, through a friendly joint occupation ' by the United States, Great Brit ain, France and Russia, to help shape a new Germany, one that would not again be a threat to the peace of Europe. We hoped to end the occupa tion without punitive retribu tion as soon as it was possible for a new and united Ger many to take its place among nations, through a peace treaty.' Secondly, the United States, Great Britain, France and Russia agreed that free elec tions, through secret ballots, should take place in Poland, Rumania, Hungary and Bul garia so that these countries might have governments of their own choosing. Warned Mololov Our third, and perhaps our most pressing concern at that time, was to get Russia to come into the war against Japan and thus hasten the end of the" war in the Pacific, which the top military lead ers estimated might yet cost millions of lives.. Our anxiety about victory and- the ending of the most destructive war in history im pelled us to place some credi bility on the word of Russia as an ally, despite growing evidence that Russia seemed determined to play a lone and expansionist hand. I had al ready warned Molotox about Russia keeping her agree ments. But Russia occupied an open and important flank, and our concern was to get the war over with. ' " Russia took her time about opening up the front against the Japanese, as she had prom ised, waiting until the last mo ment, when victory was cer tain, to make only a token ges ture. She expected. that this last-minute appearance would enable her to join in the occu pation of Japan. But by this time we had already learned enough about Russia in the occupation of Berlin and Germany to know that Russia would not cooper ate. I therefore made certain that only our forces would oc cupy Tokyo and Japan and that Russia was to be excluded from any active participation in the administration of Japan. Divided Japan Seen I am convinced that if we had allowed Russia to take part in the occupation of Japan, the results would have been a divided Japan, used as a base for Communist in- Accident-Free Auto Driver Said To Be More Self-Reliant i v Jm 1 J"!1.', By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (LTD Accord ing to a "pilot" study, the automobile driver who doesn't have accidents is more self- reliant and in d e p e n d ent than the driv er who does. He is better natured, more 1 tmHv in fnrm. eratewith other people, Deioi smith and more at tentive to them. And he's more generous in his personal relationships and less afraid of criticism. But. the driver who does have accidents "tends to be more stiff, cool, . aloof" than the driver who doesn't and he is "more inhibited with unexpressed feelings'of inferiority." He likes things more than he likes people. He is more rigid in his ways and in his personal standards, and more self-centered and less con cerned with the needs and wants of others than the ac cidentless driver. Utah Researchers ' . j The "pilot" study was made by Drs. Gerard G. ' Neuman and William R. E. '. Newman and James M. Howell of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. They grant readily that their findings may not 'apply to automobile drivers as a whole. But ' that wasn't the idea of their study. The idea was to find out if psychological science was sufficiently ad vanced to distinguish differ-, ent characteristics in .drivers who had been involved in ac cidents and drivers who had not been. They felt their "pilot" study had shown that the science was sufficiently advanced. This could be mightily use ful, they said in reporting to the American Public Health Association, since all author ities agree that the real an swer to the. highway safety question lies in the drivers of motor vehicles. Accident Prone Sought Their "pilot" study results call for really large-scale psy chological investigations of drivers, they said. If enough are studied by the most ad vanced psychological and sta tistical techniques, then you could know in advance which drivers were more likely to have accidents than other drivers. How this knowledge could be applied, they did not say. That's a matter for law-makers rather than scientists. Con ceivably, a driver who tested but badly might find it harder to get a driver's license or liability insurance for his car; Their "pilot" study went this way: They took 17 Salt Lake City policemen who had had no accidents and eight! policemen who had had two accidents in the past year. All 25 were put through nine psy chological tests. The scores of the 17 and of the eight were then averaged and compared. Needless to say, so many tests took many hours to give. The scientists thought that with further studies it might be possible to devise one test which would take 30 to 40 minutes to administer, it would be possible to give such a test to unlimited numbers of drivers. 2sfT of good music Carer to their listening pleasure with our fine record V wf for Christmas..

We now have a new crisis in Berlin, and our government must not give any sign of hesi tation. I h o p e teat the Ad ministration will take afirm stand. I would reject any "summit" meeting with the Russians at this time, but I would call a meeting of our Allies, to be fully prepared not only to meet but to an ticipate the next Kremlin moves. In these anxious times it is most important for the United States, Great Britain and France to keep close counsel and coordination. Standing together, we offer the only practical deterrent to Russian aggression. . Increasing Signs In a matter of months the Soviets have fomented trouble in thp Middle East, in the Formosa Straits, East and Southeast Asia, and now in Berlin. There are increasing signs that trouble will soon again be brewing in the Mid dle East, with Iran and Iraq as probable new targets, as well as the Far East. The Kremlin method of har assment is a continuous , pro cess aimed at sapping and wearying the patience of the Free World. It will take pa tience, courage and even greater resoluteness to deal with the Soviets. . I would suggest that ,we must always seek new ways and new approaches to our difficulties with the Commu- 111 ' mi 1iir-rir'flt't-lrT':'-i'-"r-ii -itii ii.il J TOO HOT TO HANDLE Flames leap skyward as fire men attempt to establish a-fireline against a major brush fire in the Calabasas area of Los Angeles.
