Sofu-Bed Death
Suit Reinstuted

The United States Court of
Appeals has ruled that a
mothers 100000 damage suit
against a Washington furni-
ture store should go to trial.
The issue is whether or not the
store was at fault in the suf-
location Of her son in a sofa
bed in 1858.
Mrs. Evelyn M. Edwards
sued Major Masterpieces, Inc,
five years after she bought the
sofa-bed from the store. She
charged that the store was
negligent in that it sold a
sofa-bed which was unsafe,
defective and not fit for the
use intended.
However, a District judge
last year ruled that the case
should not go to trial, granting
summary judgment in favor
Of Major on the grounds that
there was no genuine issue of
fact to be tried because the
furniture store had not been
shown to know that the sofa
bed was dangerous.
However, by 2 to l vote
the appellate court ruled this
is an issue Of material fact
and should be decided by a
jury.

On Medical Men
In Reserve Status
By the Associated Press

The Defense Department says
the call to active duty Of GER
tain Army medical, dental and
veterinary corps officer re-
servistS will be eased.
In fact, some Of these
officers already called to active

filled primarily by calling

ice and available through the

that Army medical dental and
veterinary corps reserve officers
who have completed more than
81 months of active duty and
who are not participating men,
bers Of Reserve or National
Guard units will not be recalled
as individuals Involuntary.
And, the Pentagon said, any
such officers who went on &C
tive duty after September l
may request release. Also. those
who have received orders but
have not yet gone on active
duty may apply for revocation
Of their orders.
The policy does not apply
to officers who were called up
or may be called as regularly

The United States Court Of
Appeals - Gliding a District
Court judge for going against
its earlier decisions in insanity
cases-has refused to release
Herbert T. O'Beirne from st.
Elizabeths Hospital.
The release of O'Beirne had
been ordered last April 81 by
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff. The Government ap-
pealed this ruling and Judge
Holtzoff was reversed yesterday.
O'Beirne had been sent to the
hospital in october, 1857, after
being found not guilty by rea-
son of insanity of a petty lar
ceny charge in Municipal Court.
Although a letter from st.
Elizabeths introduced at his
trial said O'Beirne was without
mental disorder" the hospital
changed its policy about a
month after his commitment.
The policy change resulted in a
classification as a mental ILL
ness of O'Beirne's condition
sociopathic personality disturb
ance.
Judge Holtzoff, in ordering
O'Beirne's release from the hos
pital against the recommends
ton of the psychiatrics there,
said 1t was "manifestly intoler-
able and contrary to the basic
principle of freedom that
personal liberty should depend
on such an arbitrary circum-
stance"
During the hearing in Dis
trict Court where O'Beirne
sought his freedom. testimony
from psychiatriSts showed there
was disagreement on whether
sociopaths should be considered
mentally i'll. Judge Holtzoff
then ruled that OBeirne was
free Of mental disease"
He added that under release
standards. O'Beirne could not
be dangerous by reason OF
mental disease because he had
no mental disease.

Appeals Court In
Reversed Of Dixie
Born Judoe

Chicago CAMP - Southern
born federal Judge J. Sam Perry
who tried to slam the door in the
face of developers Of an interracial
housing plan here was himself
slapped down last week when the
United States Court Of Appeals re-
versed a ruling he had handed
down in the controversial Deer
field housing case.
The Court ruled that developers
of the interracial housing project
at suburban Deerfield were denied
the right to prove their civil rights
had been violated by halting of the
project.
The court remanded the case to
Judge Perry and ordered that the
Progress Development Corp. be
heard on its charge that it had suf-
fered $3.50, 900 damages.
FaVOrs Village Officials Perry
Ruling
Judge Perry ruled in March that
the corporations civil rights had
not been violated by the villages
action to condemn the land for
school and park purposes; that
village building officials were not
harassing project carpenters; and
the corporation was not entitled
to damages.
The Court of Appeals noted that
Progress sought an order restrain
ing interference by village officials
with its project. The firm also ask
ed a trial by jury over alleged
damages. Instead, said the court,
Perry rendered summary judg-
ment dismissing the whole COM
plant.
The court stated in its decision:
mo plaintiff is requested to prove
his case on the merits at a pre-
liminary hearing. The argument,
after such a hearing on an equity
issue, that no genuine issue of fact
is disclosed is fallacious.
IF summary judgment is ap-
propriate on this ground after a
preliminary hearing becomes in
fact a trial on the merits and its
whole purpose is lost.
''In granting the summary judge
ment at this stage of proceedings
the trial court denied the plain
tiffs their right to a trial by jury
on Court 3 of their charges"
Judges in the unanimous ruling
were F. Ryan Duffy, John S. Hast
ings and Latham Castle.
Objected To Negro Owners
Developers of the project de-
clared during the six-week trial
before Perry last winter that the
village started its condemnation
proceedings on the 21-acre plot
after it learned that a percentage
Of the proposed homes would be
reserved for Negroes.
Village officials testified that
wasn't true. They said they had
planned a park and school on the
site for some time, and on Dec.
81, 1859, the village through a
referendum had given sanction to
the project.
Since the bringing of the federal
suit by the builders on Dec. %,
1859, the village has acquired the
controversial property through a
Circuit Court condemnation suit
However, the legality Of the con-
demnation Is being contested.
Meanwhile, two of Deerfields
village officials are living in the
homes constructed by Progress as
models for their interracial pro
ject.
