State High Court Rules City Chiefs Are Liable In Suits

JUNEAU R - The State Su- preme Court ruled today that 8 municipality is liable for the acts of it's employees while engaged in a governmental function.
 The ruling came in a high court opinion vacating summary judg- ment entered in Third District Court involving a personal injury complaint filed by Idellar Scheele against the City of Anchorage and two of its policemen, Wayne Bas- kett and T. J. Norris.
 The plaintiff claimed she sui fered personal injuries arising out of police brutality following her arrest on Sept. g, 1860. The off cers said her injuries were self inflicted while she was in state of extreme intoxication.
 In granting the summary judg- ment, Superior Court Judge Ed ward Davis relied upon an earlier State Supreme Court decision in the case of City of Fairbanks vs. i Schaible, which said:
 We hold that in this case the city is liable for the negligence of its fire department. However, since there were decisions of the Territorial District Court which may have led municipalities in Alaska to rely upon a doctrne of immunity from that liability in the exercise of governmental func- tions, in order to avoid hardship on the municipalities the rule we state in this case shall apply only to actions arising out of occur ences after the date of this opin- ion"
 In an opinion written by Asso- ciate Justice Arend, the high court said it was now convinced its dic- l tum in the Fairbanks -Schaible case was erroneous and we, therefore. disavoW it.
 The Supreme Court ordered versed and the case remanded to the Scheele-Anchorage case re yersed and the case remanded to the trial court for further pro- ceedings.

Underwood Will Leave Safety Belts Up To Solons

JUNEAU R-A proposed change in the state traffic code to require the installation of seatbelts on new cars and pickup trucks was withdrawn by Public Safety Con- missioner Martin B. Underwood today.
 Underwood said Thursday that hearings would be held on the pro- posed change, which would have required seatbeltS for the driver and one front-seat passenger on all cars and pickups manufactured after Jan. 1, 1865, and offered for sale in Alaska.
 In announcing withdrawal of the proposed regulation, Underwood said the problem was one which should be left to the discretion of the Legislature, since it had the matter before it at the last legis- lative session."
 The State Senate, during the 1863 | session, turned down a bill, SB28, which would have required seat belts in new autos.

Committee Will
 Reveal Effects of Smoking on Health

WASHINGTON R - The sclen- tific jury sitting in Judgment of the link between smoking and health is nearing the end of it's de- Alterations.
 Probably it's cumulative mind is already made up in many areas - and reports indicate fairly com plete agreement in its views.
 Its report to the nation is ex- pected before the end of the year and could come at any time.
 There are reports that drafts of the Advisory Committee on Smok- ing and Health's deliberations or parts of it's judgement are already in private government circulation but panel spokesmen insist tha; the final report has not yet been | formulated.
 Probably not since the long wat for a verdict on the Salk polio vac cine has a scientific health deci- sion raised such interest.
 But it may be disappointing, tr a degree, when it finally comes. I will restrict itself to the validity or invalidity of reported links be tween smoking and health. It wi not suggest legislation. or actior - or at least that is not it's presen | intent.
 The panel met for the first time last November - and that meetin. was mostly organization. Tht panelists didn't get down to tht facts of the case until last January and March.
 Since then committee members have been working night, day and vacation. You can find heavy smokers on the panel, but it would be useless to gauge their scientifi- answers from their personal hab- it's.
 There have been charges of po- litically instigated delays. Certain ly many have wondered if press ures have been exerted, consider ing the tobacco industry's size and influence Tobacco taxes run into the billions and tobacco farms to the hundred thousands. But there is no evidence of any political or other interference ii the jury's deliberation. Spokesmen for the panel deny there has been any.
 The panel was selected from nominations of health agencies, federal units and the tobacco ln- dustry.
 Delays have been encountered spokesmen point out. But they also point to the bourgeoning piles | of evidence considered
