Anaheim Gazette B3 Anaheim, Thursday, Oct. 13, 1960 YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK SEN. JOHN A. MURDY, JR. State Senator "When lawyers gather, can new laws be far behind?" may not be in any handbook of familiar quotations, but it seems a particularly appropriate question just now. It was no coincidence that brought the Senate Fact Finding Committee on Judiciary and the Assembly Committees on Judiciary-Civil and on Criminal Procedure into session at the same time the California State Bar held its annual convention. Many important legal problems, some under consideration by State Bar committees for months, were brought up for action by the assembled lawyers. The controversial problem of how best to deal with automobile accident cases again came up for extensive review. You may recall that some weeks ago I discussed in this column the proposal to establish an automobile accident commission, similar to the state industrial accident commission, to take over from the courts all disputes over motoring accidents. The Senate Judiciary group has had this suggestion under investigation for some time, and has been working closely may recall that some weeks ago I discussed in this column the proposal to establish an automobile accident commission, similar to the state industrial accident commission, to take over from the courts all disputes over motoring accidents. The Senate Judiciary group has had this suggestion under investigation for some time, and has been working closely with its advisory committee, on which the State Bar is represented. A separate committee of the Bar has also been studying the recommendation. In its report to the convention this group flatly opposed the suggested new commission. It was stated that the doctrine of "liability without fault," under which all victims of traffic accidents would receive some compensation, is not in the public interest, because its adoption would place a "premium on reckless conduct." Action on this report was delayed, however, pending further debate by the Bar Association as well as further study by the Senate Committee's advisory group. It is also noteworthy that, as expected, the Bar Association study group sharply divided over the perennial question as to whether the rule of "comparative negligence" should be substituted for the present one of "contributory negligence." To explain, under the present rule, if it is decided that you contributed in any way to an accident, you are entitled to no damages. Under the comparative rule, if it were decided you were 30 per cent responsible for an accident, you would be assessed 30 per cent of the cost, and the other party, 70. Another complex field in which the State Bar adopted a recommendation relates to searches and seizures by law enforcement official. Our state Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, and no Another complex field in which the State Bar adopted a recommendation relates to searches and seizures by law enforcement official. Our state Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, and no warrant can be issued except on probable cause stated under oath. Both the United States Supreme Court and our California Supreme Court have clearly upheld this protection. However, enforcement officers complain about the difficulties its strict application causes them in arresting and convicting criminals, so suggestions have been made that the law be relaxed. The State Bar takes the opposite position, though, and approved tightening, rather than relaxing the restrictions on searches and seizures by police. Ever think of a way to build a better mousetrap? Or a flying saucer? Or a musical tire? More than 25,000 people have, and have thought enough of their brainchildren to submit them to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Letters, drawings and models funnel into the department from amateur inventors all over the world, and the ideas range from new tire and tube designs to space stations. A special department, aptly titled Outside Ideas, was established 20 years ago to handle the unsolicited proposals. Why PAY MORE?
