Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xx. The Histogenesis Of The Alveolar Larva Of Echinococcus Species, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The occurrence of the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) in a microtine rodent, Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas, on Bering Island was reported by Barabash-Nikiforov (1938) and Afanas'ev (1941). Rausch and Schiller (1951) reported this cestode from tundra voles, Microtus oeconomus Pallas, collected on St. Lawrence Island. Further observations have shown that it occurs also in C. rutilus in the same location. Both species of rodents have a wide circumboreal distribution.

Guide To The Preparation Of Military Reports Of A Technical Nature, The Engineer School, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, Robert L. Bolin Depositor

United States Army: Publications

This is a brief text prepared for instructional purposes at the US Army Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, VA.

The manuscript covering the preparation of a technical report has been prepared for two reasons: first, to serve as a basic text for instructing student officers in the techniques of report writing and second, to serve as a means of reference. Student officers cannot be expected to retain in their minds all the minute details of report writing to which they are exposed during their period of school training. Considerable time may elapse after graduation and before they are called on …

The Growth Of Pathogenic Bacteria In Soluble Oil Emulsions, Hilliard Pivnik, W.E. Engelhard, T.L. Thompson

Papers in Microbiology

Mineral oils, when emulsified with materials such as soaps of petroleum sulfonates, fatty acids, abietic acid or resin, are referred to as soluble oils. These oils, mixed with water, form stable emulsions which are universally employed as coolants and lubricants for drilling, cutting, and grinding of metals. In addition to the emulsifying agent, soluble oils may also contain fatty oils, disinfectants and emulsion stabilizers.
The oils supplied by the manufacturer are sterile, but when mixed with water in the machine shop they support microbial growth (Duffet et al., 1943; Fabian and Pivnick, 1953; Lee and Chandler, 1941; Page and Bushnell, …

Criminal Law Revision Codification Vs. Piecemeal Amendment, Frank J. Remington

Nebraska Law Review

I. Introduction

This symposium issue of the Nebraska Law Review affords additional evidence of the growing interest in criminal law revision. Not only is there interest, but, more important, there are indications that steps are being taken to translate that interest into tangible contributions to the improvement of criminal justice, and particularly toward the improvement of the substantive criminal law which has for so long been ignored.1 It is with revision of the substantive statutory law that this article is primarily concerned.

II. The Need for Revision … A. Obsolescence … B. Needless Verbosity C. … Needless Distinctions … D. …

Problems Of Arrest Without Warrant In Nebraska, John S. Schaper

Nebraska Law Review

The basic authority of a police officer to arrest in Nebraska with­out a warrant as set forth by statute is confined to those situations in which the arrestee is found committing a crime. In addition, private persons are by statute authorized to arrest if a felony or petit larceny has in fact been committed and there exist reasonable grounds for believing that the person arrested is guilty.

However, an examination of past decisions concerning the authority of an officer to arrest for a crime not committed within his presence, and for which he has no warrant, points out the uncertainty …

Criminal Law — Homicide — Prosecutions For Motor Vehicle Homicide, Ira S. Epstein

Nebraska Law Review

The advent of the automobile brought into existence another means by which a person can be killed and homicide committed. In 1952 there were 38,000 deaths from motor vehicle accidents in the United States, 319 of them occurring in Nebraska. Add these deaths to another 1,350,000 injuries, many later resulting in death, and it is obvious that the law of homicide must be adjusted to meet the social problem created by the culpable driver.

The purpose of this comment is to examine the history of criminal prosecutions for deaths arising out of automobile accidents and to compare prosecutions under the …

Strict Liability Crimes, Claire D. Johnson

Nebraska Law Review

Before the middle of the 19th century it was generally stated that a criminal conviction could not be had without proof of mens rea. By and large, the modern concept of criminal law still accepts this basic principle. However, a well-recognized exception to the general rule has developed in connection with so called "public welfare offenses" or "public torts." In such offenses, the usual requirement of proof of criminal intent has been dispensed with and strict liability has been imposed.

It should be stated at the outset that the present discussion of strict liability crimes is not concerned with doctrines …

Individualized Treatment Of Criminal Offenders, Allan J. Garfinkle, Charles H. Beatty

Nebraska Law Review

For many years the nation's criminologists and penologists have denounced the present system of treatment of criminal offenders as unrealistic and unproductive of desirable results. Dissatisfied with legislative tinkering at the peripheries of the problem, they have called for a sweeping re-examination of the basic procedures which appear untenable in the light of modern psychological knowledge.

In prior times the prime motive of society in its treatment of criminals was retribution; today it is still present, although in much reduced form. Deterrence from criminal acts and isolation of dangerous persons are present goals of criminal justice. Primarily, however, the aim …

Recent Cases: Military Law — Court Martial Jurisdiction Over Civilians, Robert E. Johnson Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

A civilian was arrested in Pennsylvania by the military police. Without any hearing before a civil court as to the sufficiency of the charge, he was taken to Korea to face a military court on charges of murder committed while serving with the army in Korea. He petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the constitutionality of article 3(a) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice authorizing the arrest of civilians for crimes committed before discharge and the legality of the procedure followed in his apprehension and removal to Korea. Held: although the question of the constitutionality of article …

Book Reviews: Effective Legal Research, By Miles O. Price And Harry Bitner, New York: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1953, Richard C. Dahl

Nebraska Law Review

While books on legal research differ as to aim and purpose, most can be classified and judged in terms of how they function as a teaching tool, a ready reference manual, or a comprehensive treatise. It is in this last function, that of being a comprehensive treatise on the subject of law books, that this work is most successful. One might well expect such men as Miles Price and Harry Bitner to utilize their long experience as librarians of Columbia University Law Library to produce a fine treatise. They have exceeded such expectation and produced a work that is accurate, …

Labor Political Action And The Taft-Hartley Act, Don M. Chang

Nebraska Law Review

With organized labor's growth in numerical strength and ascendancy in economic power came increased participation and effectiveness in political action. Efforts to advance the welfare of its members have been coordinated with vast political programs designed to effect broad national policy. For successful implementation of labor's economic programs depends on the fashioning of a legal climate favorable to the collective bargaining process.

However, while there has been development of striking proportions over the past century in this area, certain factors have presented and continue to present serious difficulties in effectuating planned political action. Primary among these are socio-economic factors — …

Bills And Notes — Negotiability By Contract Under The Uniform Commercial Code, Robert S. Hinds

Nebraska Law Review

Negotiability by contract is nothing more than a phrase used to denote an attempt to create the effects of negotiability on non-negotiable contracts. The usual provision found to impart such negotiability is an agreement in an otherwise non-negotiable contract that the obligor will not assert defenses of fraud, duress, mistake, lack of consideration, failure of consideration, or any other defense against a bona fide assignee of the contract.

There would seem to be no reason why the attributes of negotiability should not be added to otherwise non-negotiable contracts so long as the parties have clearly expressed their intention that the …

Oil And Gas Reservations, William H. Grant

Nebraska Law Review

A recent Nebraska case, Elrod v. Heirs, Devisees, etc., presents for the first time in Nebraska the interesting question of the validity and effect of a reservation of an interest in oil and gas contained in a grant or conveyance of land. The purpose of this comment is to examine the validity and effect of various types of oil and gas reservations.

Reservation of "Minerals" …

Repugnancy …

Reservation or Exception? …

Corporations — Status Of Nonvoting Stock In Nebraska, Claire D. Johnson

Nebraska Law Review

The Supreme Court of Nebraska has never had occasion to determine whether or not nonvoting preferred stock may be issued by a corporation in this state. The answer to this problem must depend upon the meaning of Article 12, section 5 of the Nebraska Constitution, which states:

“The Legislature shall provide by law that in all elections for directors or managers of incorporated companies every stockholder shall have the right to vote in person or proxy for the number of shares owned by him, for as many persons as there are directors or managers to be elected or to cumulate …

Eminent Domain — Interest Of The Condemnee In Mineral Rights, Charles J. Burmeister

Nebraska Law Review

In 1920 the Oklahoma Legislature passed an act authorizing condemnation of forty acres of land "for State Capitol building purposes." Defendant condemnee was paid $80,000 for land condemned pursuant to the Act. Sixteen years later, defendant condemnee executed an oil and gas lease to the defendant Jones. The question of whether the mineral rights passed from the condemnee to the state immediately came of issue. In an action brought by the State to quiet title it was held that the State acquired a full fee title when the land was condemned, so the defendant condemnee retained no· rights in the …
