Salem-IUPD-The Oregon Su
preme Court Wednesday re
versed the criminal libel con
viction of Julius Kerekes,
Baker.
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. .

The particles causing a

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

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.
