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

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

Under legislation sponsored
by the late Senator Richard
L. 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.

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.
