Coroner System
Abolition Passed
Salem -PD- The Senate
Friday approved a bill to ab
olish the present type of cor
oner system in Oregon.
The measure goes to the
House.
The bill would abolish cor
oners in all counties except
Multnomah and substitute a
system of medical investiga
tors. Doctors would investi
gate unusual death cases.
The system would be under
the state board of health and
would be headed by a pathol
ogist as chief medical exam
iner. It would become effec
tive Jan. 1, 1961.
Coroners, who now do not
have to be doctors, would be
replaced by county or district
health officers or a doctor ap
pointed if-the health officer
would not serve.

TJorld Peace Through Law' Crusade
Would Replace Political Maneuvering
The American Bar associa
tion's current "World Peace
Through Law" crusade was
discussed in an interview here
Friday by Frank Van Dyke,
Medford attorney.
Van Dyke, former speaker
of the House in the Oregon
Legislature, was one of five
Oregon attorneys represent
ing the state bar association
at a recent conference of West
ern lawyers in connection
with one crusade.
The conference at San Fran
cisco last week end, was one
of a series sponsored by the
ABA as preliminary steps to
a proposed world conference
in 1961. ,
"Mankind - has learned to
apply the rule of law in do
mestic affairs' within the con
fines of most countries," Van
Dyke stated. "There is no
sound reason why machinery
of government cannot be es
tablished whereby internation
al law would be accepted for
settlement of international
disputes." '
For example, Van Dyke
said, "The Berlin problem is
susceptible to settlement by
international Jaw."
Could Bo Settled
He reported . that Herman
Phleger, a San Francisco at
torney, pointed out at the
conference "that while many
disputes leading toward war
could be settled by interna
t i o n a 1 law, governments
choose to have them become
political, not legal, disputes."
Phleger, he said, cited the
Suez crisis and the Quemoy
situation as other examples.
"The present system, of
seeking peace through negotia
tion and political maneuver is
frought with danger," Van
Dyke quoted Phleger as say
ing. Van Dyke explained that
the San Francisco conference
was for the exchange of ideas
rather than the passage of
resolutions. But, he added,
the "general consensus
those attending supported the
crusade.
Equipped to Try
The lawyers, he said, felt
they had a duty to society
and, at least, were equipped
to try. He said the ABA's
leadership in the crusade was
generally accepted.
Van Dyke reported that
those at the conference agreed
it was desirable to hold a
series of regional conferences
throughout the world, called
by the ABA, prior to the
world conference itself. The
delegates also felt, he said,
that the world conference
should not be held in the
United States.
The Hague; where the In
terna cional Court of Justice
now sits, was considered a
preferred site, Van Dyke said.
Conference Agenda .-y
As for the conference agen
da, he continued, it was gen
erally felt that concern with
improving the present system
for settling international dis-putes-rather
than such sub
jects as how to regulate inter
national commerce-should be
primary.
Space Launchings
Postponement Told
Washington-flffD - Technical
difficulties have forced post
ponement of three U.S. space
launchings scheduled for this
spring, one of them an effort
to fire a 'rocket to Venus. .
The national aeronautics
space administration said Fri
day night the shot to Venus
would be tried later. Official
sources said the next likely
time would be January 13,
1961. -::
The space agency had plan
ned to launeh a Thor-Able and
an Atlas-Able toward Venus
on June 3 and June 4. .
He explained that reluc
tance to consider trade con
trols arose from a fear "that
Communist-dominated coun
tries might use this as a
springboard to claiming it was
a United States device to gain
better machinery for fleecing
the rest of the world."
It was generally felt," he
said, that the Russians should
be invited to the conference
"without strings attached."
Private Sources
The lawyers in San Fran
cisco also believed, for the
most part, that private sources
rather than the United States
should finance the crusade,
Van Dyke said.
- Van Dyke explained that at
present there exist in various
nations of the world not only
different laws, and systems of
law, but wholly different con
cepts of law.
"We must seek areas of
agreement," he said. He add
ed that recent contracts be
tween United States oil firms
and Middle Eastern nations
have been praised as one ex
ample of a bridge between
two systems of law.
Regional Courts ' . ' v
One approach to the prob
lem of differing types of law,
Van Dykfi said, would be to
establish s. system of region
al courts ; throughout the
world- These courts? he ex
plained, would apply to cases
coming before ther; the laws
accepted in that region.
. The jurists themselves, he
continued, would be men" fa
miliar with these particular
legal systems. ...
But even more fundamen
tal, according to Van Dyke,
would be a general accep
tance of certain basic princi
ples of . human relationships
"applicable throughout the
entire world."
Individual Responsibility
One principle of particular
interest would be that of in
dividual, as . opposed to na-

tional, responsibility. As Van
Dyke outlined it, if any indi
vidual's or group's conduct
threatened world peace in
their own country or in a
world war, that individual or
group alone should be held re
sponsible. The major roadblock to the
United States', participation
acceptance of world law is the
Connally Reservation, Van
Dyke stated. By this reserva
tion insisted upon in the U.S.
Senate, the United States re
serves in each case the right
to decide whether the Inter
national Court of Justice has
jurisdiction.
"In our concept of law,"
Van Dyke said, "the court de
cides the matter of jurisdic
tion, not the litigant." Or, in
the words of Charles S. Rync,
chairman of the ABA's Com
mittee on World '.. Peace
Through Law and leader of
the crusade, "This reservation
violates the age-old principle
that no man should judge his
own case."
The ABA has gone on rec
ord favoring repeal of the
Connally Reservation, Van
Dyke said. '

Two Men Slain
Gangland Style
Found in Trunk
Rockford, 111. - (TJPD - Two
men believed to be profession
al gamblers who dealt with
phony dice and marked cards
were found slain in gangland
fashion yesterday, their bodies
stuffed into the trunk of . an
automobile.
Sheriff Iver Johnson identi
fied the victims as Joseph Pat
rick Greco, 21, Rockford, and
Donald L. Burton, 21, whose
pocket cards showed he had
lived in a variety of places in
cluding Detroit and Grand
Rapids, Mich., Springfield,
111., and St. Louis. Johnson
said Burton had an arrest rec
ord dating back to 1954 in
Rockford.
Both bodies had deep
bruises on the throat, indicat
ing they were Strangled , with
rope or wire. Authorities said
there appeared to have been a
struggle before the men were
killed.
The bodies were discovered
by Deputy Sheriffs Robert
Allen and Lester Krug when
they stopped to make a rou
tine check of a car spotted on
the shoulder of the road about
four miles southwest of here.
Krug said hundreds of pairs
of fixed dice were found in a
carrying case in the back seat
of the car, and the glove com
partment was packed with
decks of cards. Johnson said
the men obviously had been
killed somewhere else and the
car containing their bodies
driven to the lonely side road.

Blight Common
Trouble in Peonies
Blight is one of the most
common peony troubles dur
ing wet spring weather in
home gardens, Don Berry,
county horticulture agent,
said Saturday.
' The disease attacks, both the
buds and young shoots, and is
one of the common reasons in
failure of peonies to bloom.
Buds generally blast, and
young shoots suddenly wilt,
turn black and fall over,
Berry said.
Cutting out infected por
tions and spraying with a
weak copper, one tablespoon
per gallon of water, will help
in the spring. Repeat sprays
are needed, he said.
Fcr good year around con
trol, sanitary measures are
advisable, he said. Cutting off
and burning stalks in the fall,
and promptly removing in
fected shoots in the spring, as
well as diseased buds, flowers
and leaves during the, season,
is advisable.
