Kerekes wrote a letter to the city manager of Baker ac cusing the Baker police and particularly the chief of po lice of having ransacked and robbed his home and having menaced him with a gun in front of his children and neighbors. The decision, written by Justice Alfred T. Goodwin, said Kerekes proved at his trial that he had sought and had been refused audience by both the city manager and the district attorney before, he wrote the letter. Goodwin said there was some evidence in support of the truth of each of the state ments made by Kerekes in the letter but there was a jury question with reference "to the truth of all the matters contained in the letter.". Must Prove Malic "Where a private citizen addresses a written complaint to a public official concerning a matter within the addres see's area of responsibility," the decision said, "the defense of qualified privilege is avail able in an action for libel, civil or criminal, and the jury should be instructed accord- ngly. In cases in which privi lege is an issue, malice is not presumed from a published falsehood, but must, be proven." Goodwin wrote that in a criminal prosecution a plea of not guilty requires the state to prove all elements of the crime Including the abuse of privilege. "Failure to instruct upon this element of the case requires its reversal. . Baker County Circuit Judge W. F. Brownton was reversed. Other decisions: William E. Jensen, appel lant vs. Peter C.

Any detection system work ing at high frequencies or using the lower part of the very high frequency spectrum, up to about 30 or 40 mega cycles, would be affected by large solar storm,. Magnetic Storm...' ( The particles causing a magnetic storm and a black out of radio communications are protons (the cores,. or nu clei, of hydrogen' atoms) thrown out by giant flares from a solar sunspot, The present magnetic storm is the most severe in a decade. Not only are long-distance shortwave communications se riously upset following large solar storms, but the orbital time of all satellites within about 300 miles of earth will be slowed, due to expansion of the earth s atmosphere. Scientists believe that the following events occur when giant sunspots erupt on the sun: !.-. - .;. Clouds of ionized particles, mostly protons, speeding spaceward from the sun are trapped in the earth s mag netic field. (Ionized particles are atoms stripped of elec trons.) Electrons may also be present In such clouds, but they are very difficult to de tect because their effects are so very much smaller, Particles Guided - The particles are guided to two belts of the earth's high atmosphere by the' magnetic field, one belt about 23 de grees from the North Pole and one the same distance from the South , Pole. The high-speed incoming particles are believed to fill up the Van Allen belts, the earth's natural radiation legions hun dreds of miles up encircling the earth beyond the Ionos phere. These then overflow and spill their contents earth ward, resulting In auroras. - Instruments - in ; satellites and studies of their motions are helping scientists build up a better picture of the in teractions between solar , par ticles and the earth's mag nctlc ield. .; , , alleged 1 allure . to f urn ish proper right of way and com pensation for Increased costs due to changed conditions re versed. .. , Beverly Bland, appellant vs. L.

Drug Therapy For Cancer Can Harm Marrow of Bone London '-(Science Servlce)- Drugs used to treat cancer can damage bone marrow. How ever, five ' cancer patients whose bone marrow was dam aged by treatment with chem icals deadly to cells have re covered spontaneously, Ian Campbell Cree of Wanstead Hospital, London, reported here in the British Medical Journal. '- The five ' cases studied by Grant Batchelor of the West London hospital showed re markable powers of bone marrow recovery, Cree, for merly of West London Hospi tal, said. ' The drus used were thio- tepa, (triethyiene thlophospho ramlde) and 'testosterone, the male hormone. . Surgery and chemotherapy, or drug treatment, for some 50 rases of breast cancer given by Batchelor and other British surgeons and reported during ' tne past year have shown favorable results. Cree said that although the final verdict of this form of treatment must await a five year or even a ten-year f ol- lo-up, the disappearance of skin metastases, the complete clearing of pleural effusions. and the relief of pain In bone metastases, combined with a remarkable improvement in the sense of well-being in ad vanced cases, has been most encouraging.
