Long Five Days Spent
ON Rock by Fisherman

How would you like to spend all of
five days and nights clinging to a
wave-beaten rock in the ocean?
That was the recent experience of
Edward Garvey. an Alaskan fisher
man. His small boat was wrecked
in a storm. but he managed to swim
to rock, the home Of sea gulls and
mussels, jutting out Of storm
tossed sea. While the rock was some
so feet around it was only 8 feet
above high tide. A menu Of raw mus
sells and sea gull eggs kept him from
starving. And when the storm had
spent its fury at the end Of the fifth
day signals made from his clothing
attracted a passing ship which res
cued him.-Pathfinder Magazine.

 With this much of the proposed "code" disposed of, the jurists and barristers turned today 10 the even Ueightier consideration of their in tended "restatement" of the com mon law. Seven years already have been consumed in it's formation, with completion of the 22-volume task set fer 1941.
 Among the major "recommenda- tions of the code still to be consid- cred are:
 Authority for judges to appoint their own experts, not connected with either prosecution or defense, to determine the issue of insanity in criminal cases.
 Majority Nerdicts Planned
 Jury verdlcts on less than unani- nous agreement in other than capi- tai cases, with ten agreements need ed for serious offenses, and eight for minor cases.
