House Kills Bill
To Endorse Social
Security Approach
Salcm-IUPII - Three Demo
crats joined the Republican
minority in the Oregon House
Monday to kill a measure that
would have endorsed the So
cial Security approach lo hos
pital and nursing home care
for the elderly.
The memorial, directed to
Congress, was defeated 32-28.
All 20 Republicans voted
against it, along with Demo
cratic Reps. Don McBain of
Grcsham, Don McKinnis of
Summerville, and Wayne
Turner of St. Helens.
The most impassioned plea
for the memorial came from
Rep . Jake Bennett (D-Port-land).
.
"This is the first humani
tarian measure facing this
legislature . . . stand and be
counted," he said.
He went on to cile the ex
ample of an elderly woman
whose carrying private insur
ance rates had risen from $69
lo $103 in five years.
Rep. Richard Kennedy (D
Eugene) hit hard at alterna
tive approaches, both private
and the federal Kerr-Mills
program of grants to states.
He said both were inadequate,
and the Kerr-Mills program,
which requires a means test,
was degrading as well.
He said Kerr-Mills In Ore
gon had been a "feeble" program.

Witnesses Oppose Repeal of Libel Law
Salem -fllPD- Newspapermen
and broadcasters argued be
fore the House Judiciary
committee Monday against a
bill designed to repeal the
1955 Oregon libel correction
law.
The bill, sponsored by Rep.
Berkeley Lent (D-Portland),
judiciary committee chair
man, would repeal the law
which allows a publisher or
broadcaster to free himself
from liability for uninten
tional libel by carrying a re
traction if requested.
Under the Lent bill, a re
traction no longer would free
a publisher or broadcaster
from liability in cases of un
intentional, but "negligent"
libel. A retraction would
only be a mitigating consid
eration. The Lent bill also would
throw the weight of proof of
eood intentions onto the pub
lisher or broadcaster. At
present, the person who says
he has been libeled must
prove bad Intentions.
Lawyer Favors Bill
Most of the witnesses, rep
resenting the broadcasting
and publishing industries,
spoke against the bill. Speak
ing for it was Philip Levin,
a Portland attorney who re
cently lost a libel case in
which he tried unsuccessfully
to have the present law ruled
unconstitutional.
Salem publisher and for
mer governor Charles
Sprague said the types of li
bel at issue were those in
volving an honest mistake on
the part of a reporter, a faul
ty news source, or even the
slipping of a line of type into
the wrong place in a column.
He noted that newsmen often
work under pressure.
He said papers print retrac
tions "promptly and gladly"
when they are in error.
All newspapers have a very
healthy fear of libel," he said.
"It sometimes makes them too
cautious in calling a spade a
spade."

Student Charges
Dunseith, N.D. - IIMI - A
school superintendent denied
today eighth grader Cheryl
Wenstad was locked in a dark
room because she refused to
salute the American flag. He
said she was punished because
she was disrespectful to her
teacher.
State Atty. Gen. Helgl Jo
hanneson ruled Monday that
a student is not required to
salute the flag If the action
would be contrary to his re
ligious belief.
Bottineau County States
Atty. A. S. Benson said
Cheryl, daughter of Lawrence
Wenstad, was locked in a dark
room for 20 or 30 minutes be
cause she refused to stand
during patriotic singing.
Benson asked Johanneson
whether a student could be
punished for refusing to sa
lute the flag.
Cheryl is a Jehovah s Wit
ness. Dunseith Supt. Lincoln Jcr-
stad said the school does not
require students to stand if
their religion prohibits it.
But he said all students arc
required to stand for singing
periods and the Wenstad case
arose because the National
Anlhcm was included in one
singing period.
Jerstad said the girl would
be required to stand during
future singing periods unless
she was told differently. He
said he had not seen the at
torney general's opinion.

Mail Tribune, said the present
law protects editors "from
nuisance suits and opportunis
tic harassment."
Some Errors Inevitable
"Nq newspaper makes er
rors cheerfully," he said.
"They hold the paper up to
ridicule or worse. Yet, when
a single story may go through
six or more different hands
.. . it is inevitable that some
errors will occur.
"When this occurs, any edi
tor worth his salt will, when
it is called to his attention,
immediately do his best to set
the record straight, correct
the error, and, if called for,
issue a public apology.
"Newspapers should be ful
ly responsible . . . but . . .
innocent and inadvertent
errors should not be the basis
for general or punitive dam
ages when an honest effort is
made to rectify the error."
Levin charged that the
present law grants the privi
lege of libel without damages
to the class that can best
abuse it for profit and can do
the most damage.
He said that under the Lent
bill a publisher could still
clear himself by proving he
was not negigent.
Proof Held Difficult
"To the average little guy
who is libeled the proof of
inent to defame ... of negli
gence ... is well night im
possible," Levin said.
Carl O. Fisher, Eugene ra

proposal would make it parti

Tooze said the burden of
