CAT LAW
Bitten by her neighbor's Angora
cat, a woman filed suit for dam-
ages. She based her claim on two
points: 1) that the neighbor owned
the cat, and 2) that the cat had
been trespassing In her back yard.
But the court held that neither
ground was enough to support the
woman's claim. The court said
ownership alone does not mean
liability for a cat's mischief, since
it so seldom commits any. As for
trespassing, the court said cats
are given freedom to roam—and
to cross boundary lines—by com-
mon consent of mankind.
As a rule, a cat's victim can
coliect damages only by showing
some previous vicious conduct by
the cat. Such conduct puts the
owner on notice that his pet is
dangerous.
For example:
A shopper, accompanied by her
dog, entered a market. The pro-
prietor's cat, which had recently
had kittens, promptly tore into the
dog. When the woman tried to
protect her dog, she herself was
mauled by the cat.
In this case the woman did col-
lect. The court pointed out that a
cat with kittens is lMy to at-
tack a dog. that customers often
brought dogs to the market, and
that another customer had been
attacked earlier in the same man-
ner. Under these circumstances,
the court decided the cat was in-
deed dangerous and should have
been restrained.
However, a minor show of tem-
perwillnot puttheowncron no-
tice that he has a feline menace
on his hands. Thus another wom-
an, bitten by a cat, was denied
damages because the only prior
misconduct she could prove was
that the cat had once show" his
teeth and snagged a giri's stocking.
In short, in view of the generally
good record of the species, the
law is tolerant of a cat's natural
tendencies. And, in that same
spirit, the law looks with favor
on efforts to be kind to cats.
One woman left money in her
will to establish a "cattery" for
homeless cats. Although the be-
quest was challenged as useless
to the community, a court upheld
it as a valid charitable trust. In
the words of one judge:
"A gift for the benefit of animals
tends to encourage kindness to-
ward them, promote feelings of
humanity and morality generally,
repress brutality, and thus elevate
the human race."

THE ARMTRARY ACTION OF
THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD on December 6th by which
interest rates were raised 37'{}
percent has kicked off a chain re-
action of economic forces. Un-
reasonably high rates of interest
have the same effect on our econ-
omy as earth tremors; uncontroll-
ed they can amount to an earth-
quake upsetting homes and busi-
nesses. Retired people who live
within a fixed rigid income arc
specially vulnerable to thehazards
of inflation. Fluctuations in the
value and earning power of money
have the power to transform even
a carefully planned budgeted re-
tirement into years of bitterness.
VIET XAM. The American Bar
Association, speaking for our na-
tion's legal profession, has adopted
a resolution stating that the pre-
sence of the United States in Viet
Nam is lawful under international
law and is in accordance with the
United Nations. The resolution is
reinforced by a comprehensive
and fully doctumented study by
eminent legal scholars who also
concluded that our assistance to
the Republic of Viet Nam is law-
ful under the United States Con-
stitution.
THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF
