SUMMERS, Justice
(dissenting from the per curiam).
My view of this problem, simply, stated, is that the time of the husband’s injury determines whether the award for injury is community or separate property. However, the award for loss, such as future earnings or pain and suffering calculated to accrue after termination of the community relationship, should fall into the husband’s separate estate.
The need to invoke the solution, I propose would, of course, never arise so -long *279ias. the community relationship continues. . It Iwould only have application in unusual 'Situations like the one this case presents.
I‘ respectfully dissent.
