NToT long ago, an elderly couple came to my Office
IN in considerable agitation. A guest, woman
they did not know well, had fallen downstairs in
their home and injured herself severely. The couple
had no liability insurance and they were afraid the
accident would wipe out their life savings. What
was the extent of their legal obligation, they wanted
to know?
When they had told me the details was able to
advise them that they had no obligation at all. As
long as the stairs in good condition. it up
to the guest to keep from falling down. They almost
wept with relief.
You owe him foir w0nins
In this modern world of thousand liabilities, it
may also relieve you to know that under most cOndi
tons you are not legally responsible for injuries to
guests. The IGsU considers a guest to be
equal footing srith other members Of your family
He must accept your home as he finds IL and also
accept the ordinary hazards Of your everyday life.
If he trips a rug that is in good condition, the
courts would most probably decide that it was his
own negligence.
However, you do owe your guest fair warning OF
any unusual danger For instance, if the faucets in
your shower are mismarked and hot water comes out
of the faucet marked cold, you should warn him.
Otherwise he'd have very sound lawsuit if he
scalded himself.
But, generally speaking guest cannot require
more than fair warning of unusual dangers that the
homeowner knows exist. He cannot even expect the
hOmeowner to be responsible for unknown danger
conditions. For instance, if chandelier fell ON
guests head he might have a hard time proving
negligence the part of his host. The test would
be: did his host know of the defect? Was he negf-
gent?
The insurance onsle
The yardstick to apply in all your affairs is this:
In order to recover damages for personal injuries,
the injured person must establish negligence on the
part Of the person he sues.
Now, you may say that you personally know OF
half dozen cases where guests got insurance dam
ages for ordinary accidents. And you would be right

often feels at least morally responsible for the doc
tors bill if a guest IS injured in his home.
OF course, this freedom from liability on the part
of host does not mean that he can go knocking
guests about or harming them by any deliberate
action This is assault and battery whether it occurs
in the home or on the street corner.
Ironically, the law demands especially careful
treatment of the most unwelcome guest = the
drunken person. Continued on NEXT page

Korean Cuts Self

SEOUL, Oct. IA (AP).-A
64-year-old former policeman
tried to commit hara-kiri yes
terday in the spectators gallery
of the National Assembly to
protest the political deadlock
which has paralyzed legislative
activities.
700 Chi-bong cut a 9-inch
cash in his stomach with his
pocketknife when the assembly
adjourned after only a few
minutes in session.
Doctors said the injury was
serious, but his condition was
not critical.
Mr.. Yoo had nine letters
with nib, addressed to Presi-
dent Syngman Rhee, Speaker
Lee Ki-poong. and United
Nations Secretary General Dag

The letters urged the assembly
to return to its normal legisla-
tive activities by ending politi-
cal quarrelS between the ruling
Liberal Party and the opposi-
ton Democrats.
A political stalemate between
the two groups over the as
sembly agenda has paralyzed
the Legislature for more than
40 days.
Floor leaders Of the two
parties agreed yesterday to nor
malize assembly functioning
as soon as possible by working
out a compromise. Yoo'S suicide
attempt, however, has nothing

Estate Planning Can
Mean Happiness for
You. and Yours
Another Service Of First & Citizens

Many people enormously think of estate
planning solely in terms of what is "left
behind" One of the greatest advantages
of proper estate planning for the
person in modest circumstances-is the
peace Of mind it can bring over the liv-
ing years.
An estate is question of people and
their happiness you and your loved ones.
Your attorney, should give you the legal
counsel, and incorporation with you and
your attorney, First & Citizens can give
you the wise financial counsel that pro-
tects your estate :. for you in your life
time, and your heirs to follow.
First & Citizens, Virginia's oldest
national bank, has time-honored tradi-
ton of many generations for wisely
advising on the protection and growth
of estates and planning them well for
the happiness of all concerned.
We invite your inquiry, or that of your
attorney. We will be glad to supply you
with interesting, question-answering
literature on estate planning and trust
services. Just ask any officer of the bank
or drop by our Trust Department at
507 King Street.

Headed by the late Thomas
j. Kellar, the Peoples Party es-
tablisheed itself as the leading
party of Robbins. To that party
goes much of the credit for the
incorporation and unification of
the village. 1t, like any other
political party, has risen and
fallen as the eveN changing
political tide has ebbed and
flowed. In it's infancy the vii
lage being predominately Re-
publican, it was and is known
as the Republican n d r d
bearer in Robbins. So, whether
we agree with their political
psychology or not, we pay hom-
age to their many contributions
to the Improvement and culture
of the village.
The next oldest party In the
village of Robbins is the Citi-
zens Party. 1t dates back to the
early days of our villages exis-
tence. They had their ups and
downs as a party. What many
of our present day populace
10 not know is that this party
passed out of existence many
years ago. In contest between
Mr.. John S. Richardson and
Mr.. U. S. Turner the Citizens
Party, dating back to the incor-
poration of Robbins, lost it's
Identity and became the Origin
al Citizens Party. This party
carried on as unit until 1857,
when it again split and the In
dependent Citizens Party was
born.
Now, two years later, there
is another split and a new party

this organization was highly

Turk Sentenced

ISTANBUL, Turkey, July 80
(AP).-One of Turkeys best
known journalists was sent
enced yesterday to 10 months
20 days in prison for reprinting
articles by an American pub
Usher.
Ahmet Emin Yalman, pub
Usher Of the newspaper Vatan,
faces a term of is months, 16
days. A special press court re-
duced the sentence because OF
what it called his advanced
age. He is 10.
Turkeys restrictive press
laws make 1t an offense to
print articles deemed insulting
to government officials. The
court held that the reprinting
of the articles by the United
States publisher, Eugene C..
Pulliam and his wike, Nina,
was belittling to Premier Ad-
nan Menderes. Mr.. Pulliam is a
publisher of newspapers in In

Convinced that America can

ing a safe and sane course,
and that the domestic dangers
that face us lie in the realm
of .overspending Of public
funds and economic malad-
justment.
Despite the harassments Of
the presidential Office today,
Mr.. Eisenhower seems q
happy and genial man. When
he was told the other day
that there would be a third
major league in baseball. he
began discussing the poor
record Of the Washington
team, known as the "Sena-
tors" He thought perhaps
they should have some other
name, and jokingly suggested
maybe they ought to be called
the Executives"
The President is optimistic
about things in general. He
thinks that social progress is
being steadily made on the
American scene. He knows
the international situation is
full of potential risks and
peril, but he has faith in the
unity Of the Western Allies.
Difficulties among them are
not, of course. minimized by
him.
Upon leaving the White
House last Monday night,
this correspondent thought Of
a visit seven years ago with
Gen. Eisenhower, then Su-
preme Allied Commander in
Europe. Chatting with him
at his headquarters in Paris
in 1852, this writer found
him to be a military man with
a surprising grasp Of nonmil-
itary problems. Today, oddly
enough, one forgets that
Dwight Eisenhower has ever
been in uniform. The "im-
age" presented instead is that
of an American statesman
whose whole objective is, os
he often expresses it. to do
the best he can for the Amer
lean people.

This correspondent hap
pened TO be one Of a dozen
newspapermen invited to dine
with President Eisenhower
last Monday night at the
White House. Whatever the
President says, informally or
otherwise, in answer to ques-
tons on current issues Is
usually news. and permission
was granted to those present
to report it without direct
quotation as they deal from
time to time with the same
subjects. Both Of the press
associations, which had rep
resentatives there, will in due
course give the details.
What impressed this writer
most, however, entirely apart
from the many subjects that
were covered during a dis
cussion lasting nearly four
hours, was how President
Eisenhower looks physically.
He seems healthier, ruddier
of face, and younger in spirit
and mood than when he first
came to the White House in
January, 1858.
When this correspondent
was in London recently, he
was aStonished to find that
the image of President Eisen-
hover built up there by news
dispatches from this country
was that of a sick man"
and a "puppet." The impress
sion prevalent in some quar-
tiers in Britain and in other
parts of Europe is that Mr..
Eisenhower is an invalid,
that he really doesn't have
a mind of his own, and that
he merely reflects perfume
torily what different advisers
inside and outside the cabi-
net tell him. Some of this
doubtless has originated from
partisan sniping in America.
A face-to-face appraisal,
on the other hand. gives
exactly the opposite feeling.
Advisers. of course, play a
part in every Presidents
decisions, but Mr.. Eisen-
hover shows an intimate
knowledge of the pros and
cons of many subjects, as
well as of the nuances that
emerge in the complicated
problems of government.

but he added he had never
seen a more stirring and
splendid performance. The
rest of us did not have to be
neutral. This ballet in the
vast packed opera house Of
this industrial city of Siberia
was superior. The Vice Pres
ident asked for a record by
their orchestra. He had made
a generous, sincere talk,
which they liked. Then we
came out.

there who had waited out
