The custody decree provided that W be permitted to remove the children to California but that they be allowed to visit H each summer. While H was visiting California in October 1957, he was served in an action commenced by W seeking absolute custody. H returned to Wisconsin and on November 5 asked the Wisconsin court to modify its divorce judgment by awarding custody of the children to him. That court set a hearing and …

Unemploymenet Compensation - Disqualification - Employee's Refusal To Discuss Alleged Communist Party Membership With His Employer Constitutes Misconduct Connected With His Work, Joel N. Simon S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Claimant was discharged after he refused to explain or deny charges of Communist Party membership, made against him before a congressional committee, at a hearing conducted by his employer, a private contractor engaged in defense work. The Unemployment Compensation Board of Review rejected his claim for unemployment compensation benefits upon a finding that this refusal constituted "willful misconduct connected with his work." On appeal, held, affirmed. An employee's refusal to discuss alleged Communist Party membership with his employer, who is engaged in defense work, creates doubt as to his loyalty and jeopardizes his employer's defense contracts. His consequent discharge …

Constitutional Law - Due Process- Residence Substituted For Domicile As Basis For Divorce Jurisdiction, Paul Gerding S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff husband brought a divorce action under an Arkansas statute, which granted state courts divorce jurisdiction on the basis of residence of one of the parties within Arkansas for three months, to terminate a marriage performed in another jurisdiction. Defendant wife, domiciled in California, filed a cross complaint for separate maintenance and attacked the court's jurisdiction to grant the divorce. The lower court held the act unconstitutional in eliminating domicile of one of the parties as a jurisdictional requirement in a divorce action, and, finding that the plaintiff was not domiciled in Arkansas, dismissed the suit. On appeal, held, …

Taxation - Ordinary And Necessary Expenses - Deduction Of Advertising Expenses Incurred To Defeat State Initiative Measures, Robert J. Paley S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioners were members of a partnership engaged in the wholesale distribution of beer in Washington. In 1948 the partnership made contributions to a publicity campaign instituted to defeat an initiative to be presented to the voting public, the passage of which would have placed retail beer and wine sales exclusively in state hands. In their 1948 tax returns petitioners deducted the amount contributed as ordinary and necessary business expense. After the Commissioner disallowed the deduction the petitioners paid the deficiency under protest and sued for a refund in the district court. That court denied the refund, ruling that the payments …

International Conflict Of Laws - Title To Chattels "Act Of State" Doctrine, John C. Peters S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In order to clarify the use of terms, a "confiscation" when used in this comment will mean an expropriation by a foreign state without compensation. This writer will not go into the question of what is considered fair compensation in international law. Nor will the present comment consider confiscations made in time of war or the question of extraterritorial expropriations.

Administrative Law - Judicial Control - Appellate Review Of Federal Trade Commission Proceedings, David A. Nelson S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
During its forty-five year life the Federal Trade Commission has gone through some difficult periods to emerge today as one of the fundamental instrumentalities of government in the regulation of business. Its vast powers and influence, well known to lawyers, will not be explored here. Rather, the purpose of this comment is to appraise the extent of control which the judiciary now exercises over the commission in its adjudicative functions, so as to offer some indication to the practitioner of the probabilities regarding the outcome of judicial review on an appeal beyond the full commission. The approach to be used …
Impact Of Recent Tax Stimulants On Modest Enterprises, L. Hart Wright, Jerome B. Libin
Impact Of Recent Tax Stimulants On Modest Enterprises, L. Hart Wright, Jerome B. Libin
Michigan Law Review
The recession year 1958 found Congress in a mood to "aid and encourage small business" through more favorable tax treatment. The thrust of the ensuing legislation touched in varying degrees the whole life span of a modest enterprise, from organization through liquidation. The focus here, however, will be confined to a consideration of the practical impact of the recent statutory changes on the organizational and ordinary operational phases of such a business.
The Minority Doctrine Concerning Direct Restraints On Alienation, Herbert A. Bernhard
The Minority Doctrine Concerning Direct Restraints On Alienation, Herbert A. Bernhard
Michigan Law Review
Restraints on the legal power of alienation which arise by acts of the parties can be classified into three categories: disabling restraints, forfeiture restraints and promissory restraints. A disabling restraint exists when the property involved is under a direction that it shall not be alienated. A forfeiture restraint exists when the property involved will be forfeited upon alienation of the property by the conveyee. A promissory restraint exists when the conveyee has promised not to alienate the property; it may arise out of a covenant either in the conveyance itself or in a separate contract.

Air Law - The Federal Aviation Act Of 1958, John W. Gelder S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
On August 23, 1958 the President signed into law the most important piece of aviation legislation to come out of Congress in the past two decades. After several study groups had worked on the air safety problem, the President acted in February 1956 by appointing Edward P. Curtis as his Special Assistant for Aviation Facilities Planning. In May 1957 the now famous Curtis Report was submitted to Congress in which it was suggested that an independent aviation agency be set up by 1959. It took several major air tragedies, however, to awaken Congress and the nation to the need for …

Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was injured on his employer's barge moored in navigable waters while assisting in a loading operation. The employer was insured solely under the Federal Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Act. Instead of pursuing the remedy available under the federal act, petitioner brought the common law action authorized by state workmen's compensation legislation in the state courts. The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed judgment for the employer on the ground that the injury was covered exclusively by the federal act. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed per curiam, two justices dissenting. The injury was incurred within the …

Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, Klor's, Inc., a retail electrical appliance store, brought a treble damage action against Broadway-Hale, a department store chain, and against ten appliance manufacturers, alleging conspiracy to restrain and monopolize commerce in violation of sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The complaint charged essentially that Broadway-Hale, which operated a store next door to Klor's, had been able by virtue of its great buying power to induce a concerted refusal to deal on the part of major appliance manufacturers, so that they would sell to Klor's only on highly unfavorable terms if at all. Respondents submitted affidavits which showed …

Michigan Law Review
Appellant imported from five countries iron ore which was stored at its processing plant and drawn upon to fill the current operational needs of the plant. When the ore arrived it was originally stored in stock piles containing a three-month supply. As needed, ores were conveyed from the stock piles to "stock bins," holding one or two days' supply and located in close proximity to the plant, from which the ores were used in the operation of the plant. The State of Ohio collected a personal property tax upon all the imported ore. In a companion case petitioner imported from …

Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Problems Of Law And Policy, Hugh Alan Ross
Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Problems Of Law And Policy, Hugh Alan Ross
Michigan Law Review
A number of recent events makes it timely to reconsider certain aspects of the relation between psychiatry and the law. In the past decade, both the public and the legal profession have been increasingly concerned with the impact of mental illness on the law. In 1952, an outstanding text, Psychiatry and The Law, was published as the joint effort of a lawyer and a psychiatrist. Two years later the Durham case laid down a new test of insanity in criminal cases, rejecting the M'Naghten rule. Interest in the case resulted in a host of law review articles, symposiums, and …

Unfair Trade Practices - Robinson-Patman Act - Exclusion Of Seller's Broker From Coverage Under Section 2, James A. Park S.Ed.
Unfair Trade Practices - Robinson-Patman Act - Exclusion Of Seller's Broker From Coverage Under Section 2, James A. Park S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioners, a brokerage partnership acting as a seller's agent, sold a commodity to a buyer at five cents below the seller's normal price. The seller agreed to this reduction only because the petitioners agreed to reduce their commission on the sale from 5% to 3%. Thus 2.75 cents of the reduction was absorbed by the brokers and 2.25 cents was absorbed by the seller. Respondent Federal Trade Commission ordered petitioners to cease and desist from selling at such a reduction on the ground that the reduction in the regular rate of commission constituted an indirect payment by the brokers of …

"Federal Question" Jurisdiction -- A Snare And A Delusion, Ernest J. London
"Federal Question" Jurisdiction -- A Snare And A Delusion, Ernest J. London
Michigan Law Review
Poorly defined criteria in the area of jurisdiction are especially wasteful, generating as they often do expensive and protracted litigation over threshold issues, rather than promoting the speedy determination of lawsuits on their merits. One of the most perplexing exercises in American law practice is the effort to define with certainty the original jurisdiction of the lower federal courts in matters where there is no diversity of citizenship. Although this general head of federal jurisdiction has persistently and pervasively been characterized as "federal question" jurisdiction, it is doubtful whether there is, in fact, original jurisdiction in the lower federal courts …

Inheritance Taxation - Selected Provisions Of Michigan, Illinois And Ohio - A Study In Application And Justification, Edward B. Stulberg S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
This comment will explore the existing variations in four commonly encountered areas: joint interests with rights of survivorship, contingent remainder interests, powers of appointment, and life insurance proceeds. Emphasis will also be placed on treatment accorded the surviving spouse and children and the implicit relationship between such treatment and some of the above areas. The essence of this examination will be to inquire whether adoption of an estate tax would be a more suitable vehicle for implementing a local death tax program.
