R2 Anaheim Gazette (Anaheim, Thursday, July 21, 1960) Feather River UNDER Before Oroville Dam rises in the rugged Feather railroad tracks, highways, and utility lines will be under water.

Completion date for Oroville Dam and other feathers on the fate of the Burns-Porter Lake this November. The Act was passed by the voters, it will authorize the sale of construction of the FRP and related waivers. Described as a "rescue project", the FRP will have threatened in many areas due to lack of danger of raging floods on the Feather River destruction in the past. Looking ahead, economists warn that California's than 30 years, will require continuing work by the State and other agencies. Books in Review Those Japan disturbances doubtless have created great reader interest in books pertaining to the oriental empire. Just off the press is a publication, "Belli Looks at Life and Law in Japan," by two California lawyers, Melvin M. Belli, San Francisco, famous for his trial techniques in personal injury and malpractice suits, and Danny R. Jones, of Compton, who is building a drum-boating career along similar lines. Engaged by the Hearst papers to cover the case of Sgt. William S. Girard, on trial in a Japanese court on a charge of shooting a Southern aristocrat; but then follows a wild emotional scene, the whisperings, the crises, the divorce. Then comes the unexpected triumph. THE COMFORTS OF THE DAMNED by Wingate Froscher.

Belli, San Francisco, famous for his trial techniques in personal injury and malpractice suits, and Danny R. Jones, of Compton, who is building a drum-beating career along similar lines. Engaged by the Hearst papers to cover the case of Sgt. William S. Girard, on trial in a Japanese court on a charge of shooting a Japanese woman, the authors decided, while they were over there, to study the life and laws of Japan. There is nothing dull or stuffy about their findings regarding Japanese legal procedures, which, incidentally, seem to have as many neat and subtle loopholes as the American legalistic patterns. The book goes back into the origins of the Japanese and presents an outline of their history. The chapter on American occupation is very clear and detailed. It is amusing to note that automobile drivers must take out compulsory insurance. The victim of an accident is urged by his insurance company to try to settle his own case. The defendant is also required to call upon the injured person and express his regret! Another interesting highlight of the book reveals that prison inmates never try to escape because conditions are so good. Prisoners have a choice of bunking alone, or with another inmate, and they are permitted to grow flowers, have family pictures on the walls, and see movies twice a month. They also have tea in their cells. FICTION THE ARDENT YEARS by Janet Stevenson. A famous actress comes to America, marries a THE COMFORTS OF THE DAMNED by Wingate Froscher.
