What Is The Lav?
This column is prepared as a public service by the
College of Law. Willamette 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.
Self Defense Must Be
Used Cautiously
A person has the right of
self-defense but he must be
careful how he uses it.
For example, the manager
of a dance hall ejected
drunken man who was doing
his best to enter the hall
where a dance was being held
The drunken man said, "I'll
come back and fix you," and
then ran down the steps. A
moment later, a patron, who
was late for the dance, ran
rapidly up the steps. The
manager thought the drunken
McMinnville Man
Held as Suspect
McMinnville- (CPD-Delmar
LeRoy Daniels, 38, McMinn
ville, was booked into Yamhill
county jail here Sunday on
$5,000 bail as a suspect in
several house burglaries after
an intense search by state
county and city police from
McMinnville and Salem.
Daniels was taken into cus
tody by sheriffs' deputies
early Sunday after eluding
police in a car. He fled from
a house here which had been
under surveillance for two
days, officers said.
State police, Yamhill and
Polk county deputies and
Salem and McMinnville police
conducted a widespread hunt
for the suspect which ended
when he phoned Yamhill
County Sheriff W. L. Mekkers
to pick him up at a friend's
home near Willamina.
SOMAN HORRORS
London -(DPD- High school
classics teacher Robert Reev
es says interest in his Latin
classes has been heightened
considerably since he began
turning out comics written in
the language of the Romans.
Typical stories are entitled
"The Bodies in the Fish
Pond" and "The Werewolf."
In 1851, New Hampshire
became the first state to set
up an agency to supervise the
insurance business.
man was returning. For the
purpose of self defense, he
struck the patron with a
musket and injured him.
Manager Loses
When the injured man sued
the manager for damages, the
question that had to be de
cided was whether or not the
manager acted properly in de
fending himself. A Kentucky
court ruled against the man
ager, holding that he should
have used the highest degree
of care to ascertain who the
person was that he was about
to strike.
The law regarding self-de
fense is essentially that a per
son must be guided by reason
both in choosing to use force
for self-defense and in the
means employed.
The application of the right
of self-defense is demonstrated
again in a recent New York
case when the plain-clothes
officers saw a man loitering
around a building they had
under observation. The offic
ers attempted to arrest him
The man lived in the build
ing and thought the officers
were hold-up men. In an ef
fort to defend himself, he bit
the thumb of one of the police
men who later sought dam
ages for the injury. The court
decided the officers were
wrong in their efforts to ar
rest without a warrant and
without properly identifying
themselves. The biting of the
thumb, held the court, was a
reasonable use of force in self-
defense.
Verbal Abuse
On the other hand, the
means of self defense may be
too extreme to fit the circum
stances. In another Kentucky
case, a man was heaping ver
bal abuse upon another. The
victim of such insults there
upon hit him and claimed that
he did so in self-defense. The
court held, as most courts do
in cases like this, that pro
voking or insulting language
is not sufficient to justify the
use of any force in self-de-i
fense. The person striking the
blow is liable for the injuries
caused.

Maintenance Man
Of Air Force No
Longer Only Greaser
Offutt Air Force Base, Neb.
(DPD The Air Force mainte
nance man is no longer just a
grease monkey, but an elec
tronics technician who must
prepare intercontinental rock
ets for instant firing.
Maj. W. H. Charlton, 43,
chief of the procedural branch
of the Strategic Air Com
mand's missile maintenance
division, said maintenance
crews are now being trained
by the Air Force and the rock
et builders as well for the
time-not far off-when SAC
will have operational mis
siles. Charlton, a 23-year-old serv
ice veteran from Washington,
Pa., said preparation for the
missile age requires a "tre
mendous management effort"
because of the highly complex
nature of the weapons.
At SAC headquarters here,
Charlton and other officers
make plans to keep the missile-men
abreast of the latest
developments in their ever
changing field.
"The state of the art is mov
ing forward at such a pace,"
Charlton said, "that the elec
tronic advances keep passing
up the latest college text
books." He said missile mainte
nance is "very intriguing and
perplexing" because the rock
et that is going to be fired in
anger cannot be tested in ac
tual operation beforehand.
Aircraft, he pointed out,
can be flown "with many
things wrong," but the slight
est equipment failure can
make an intercontinental mis
sile useless.
Charlton said the mainte-

Missiles, of course, are so

impossible to make all repairs
at their launching sites.
