reasonable chances In passing other cars and eventually was involved in a head-on collision while trying to pass a car on a hill. He was clearly at fault and his driving would prob ably be classified as "reck less" and possibly even "want on." Didn't Leave Will Both James and Fanny were killed in the accident. Fanny was survived by a daughter, Emma, and two grandchildren who were the children of James. She did not leave a will. Normally. Emma and the children of James would share Fanny's property. Will the reckless driving of James which caused Fanny's dealli prevent his children from sharing the property? Most states, including Ore gon, have statutes which pro vide that a person cannot in herit from a deceased person that he has killed. Obviously the statute was designed to prevent a killing in a cold blood In order to reap an in heritance. Two questions, however, have arisen concerning these laws. First, do they only oper ate to disinherit a murderer, or do they also effect persons guilty of manslaughter?. Sec ond, what of the rights of persons who inherit through the killer? If the statute cov ers manslaughter and disin herits those claiming through the guilty party, the children of James will not inhert any of Fanny's property. Law in Oregon In Oregon the statute states that a person who "felon iously" takes the life of an other cannot inherit from the person killed. Manslaughter is a felony, and it looks as though James is guilty of in Try and Stop Me ly BENNETT CERF voluntary manslaughter. The legislature, however, prob ably intended to restrict the law to the murder situation and used the term "felon iously" in reference to a pre meditated killing. The Ore gon Supreme Court has held that the innuccnt child of the killer could not inherit from the deceased. Therefore, if the term "feloniously" is con strued to include manslaugh ter, it is quite possible that MAIL TRIBUNI, Msrfford, Or.

Neuberger, Klamath Indian Reservation timber was to be offered first for private ac quisition under sustained yield management principles. The legislation calls for timber NOT sold privately to be purchased by the federal government for inclusion in the National Forest system. SO FAR, only one unit of this timber has been sold. On three other large units Myrtle Point Family Adopts Limbless Child Portland - MPD - Nine years ago a little boy named Teddy was born here without arms and legs, and without a home. Today he goes to school, feeds himself, plays with oth er children, and - most im portant - he has a home. Teddy, a smiling youngster, has learned to use artificial arms and legs thanks to mir acles of medical science and the patience of attendants at Waverly Baby Home and the Shriners hospital. Special Classes For more than a year now Teddy has lived with the For rest Krewson family near Myrtle Point. He has gone to special classes. He played with Johnny and Danny Krewson, aged 10 and 12. He also learned to help out on the Krewson's 11-acre farm. Last week the Krewson family came to Portland. Cir cuit Judge Donald Long asked the family some routine ques tions and then signed final adoption papers. "I personally want to com mend both of you for a real dedicated Interest you have shown in this boy," the judge told Mr. and Mrs. Krewson. Then the happy parents, Johnny and Danny, and a beaming Teddy, left for home.

ASK WARM WELCOME Tokyo - OIPI) - The govern ment of Nepal has appealed to the Nepalese people to give Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-lal a "warm wel come" when h arrives In Kathmandu Tuesday en route home from talks in New Del hi, India, with Indian Pre mier Jawaharlal Nehru, the New China Newi Agency laid. valued in the neighborhood of 14 million dollars, no bids were received - indicating, apparently, the belief of pri vate operators that this timber can't be bought and held profitably under sustained yield management until the time comes to cut it. The department of agricul ture has announced that these units will not be readvertised, thus indicating its intention to purchase them under the terms of the Neuberger act. BUT The timetable of the Neu berger act affecting the end of federal trusteeship over the Klamath Tribe calls for the timber not sold privately to be purchased by the government in April of 1961 - a year hence. That is a long time for the Indian owners to wait for their money. It also delays by a year the time when Forest Service timber sales can be scheduled from these units to help support the needs of the timber industry of the Klamath Basin. CO- U Mmirin Npnhprffpr. wid ow of Senator Neuberger, is urging that the date for acqui sition of these unsold units by the Forest Service be MOVED UP, and that the funds for their purchase by the govern ment be appropriated at this session of congress. IT IS A reasonable sugges tion. The federal government is required to purchase them anyway, since no bids for them have been received from private buyers. It might as well buy them now as later. If it buys them now, the Indian owners will get their money sooner-and they prob ably need it. Forest Service timber sales from these units can be scheduled earlier for purchase by private operators, who need the timber. In addition, the time will be speeded up when surround ing national forests won't have to rally around with sales to make up the defic iency in sales of Indian tim ber. IT LOOKS like a case where nobody will be hurt and everybody will be benefited. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Neuberger's suggestion is act ed upon. GOING EAST?
