JUDGES--MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL--DEATH OF TRIAL JUDGE BEFORE HEARING ON MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

Judgment was entered upon a jury verdict for the plaintiff. Defendants thereupon filed their intention to move for a new trial, but before the motion could be heard the trial judge died and assignment was made for hearing before another judge of the same court. Section 661 of the California Code of Civil Procedure directed that, The motion for new trial shall be heard and determined by the judge who presided at the trial; provided, however, that in case of the inability of such judge or if at the time noticed for hearing thereon he is absent from the county where the trial was had, the same shall be heard and determined by another judge of the same court. Plaintiff\u27s objections to the jurisdiction of the court or of any judge thereof to hear and determine the motion for new trial were overruled, and an order was made granting a new trial. Upon the clerk\u27s refusal to issue a writ of execution on the original judgment, plaintiff petitioned the district court of appeals for a writ of mandamus requiring the issuance of the writ. Held, demurrer to the petition overruled and a peremptory writ of mandamus to issue. Telefilm, Inc. v. Superior Court, (Cal. App. 2d Dist., Div. 2, 1948) 194 P. (2d) 542

FUTURE INTERESTS - POWERS OF APPOINTMENT- EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY OF DONEE OF GENERAL TESTAMENTARY POWER

By her will, X established a spendthrift trust, appointing Y and a trust company as co-trustees. In addition to receiving the income from the trust during his life, Y was given a general testamentary power to appoint the corpus; in default of appointment the corpus was to be divided equally among Y\u27s issue. After X\u27s death Y filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, listing the above interest as that of a beneficiary of a spendthrift trust, value none. Before Y\u27s death the trustee in bankruptcy purported to sell to plaintiff, who was not a creditor of Y, all of Y\u27s right, title and interest in the trust. After Y\u27s death the plaintiff petitioned for assignment of the trust corpus. Held, plaintiff had no interest in the corpus. In re Peck\u27s Estate, 320 Mich. 692, 32 N.W. (2d) 14 (1948)

CORPORATIONS-PARTICULAR LANGUAGE AND CIRCUMSTANCES MAKING PREFERRED DIVIDENDS CUMULATIVE

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a plan and requested an order under the Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935 to carry out the dissolution of the X company, a Delaware corporation, whose sole income-producing asset was the common stock of the Y company, a Kentucky corporation. The dissolution plan contemplated distributing to the shareholders of the Delaware company its holdings of the Kentucky company stock according to a pro-rata distribution ratio, based on the Class A Common and Class B Common stock of the Delaware company. Certain holders of the Class A Common shares of the Delaware company objected to the plan, contending that the commission erred in considering the Class A Common to be noncumulative. The certificate of incorporation provided that dividends should be paid, . . . when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the net profits or surplus of the corporation. The Delaware statute applicable provided that preferred dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative as shall be so expressed [in the Certificate of Incorporation]. Held, the Class A Common shares were cumulative under Delaware law, because the dividends were chargeable against surplus generally, and not merely against the net profits of a particular year.

CORPORATIONS-OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS-STOCK OPTION INCENTIVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS FOR CORPORATION EXECUTIVES

In the past few decades considerable attention has been directed toward piecework payment for corporate executives; that is, compensation based largely upon results rather than upon past or expected performance. The stock option incentive employment contract\u27 is one of the means utilized to achieve that desired objective

APPEAL AND ERROR-EISLER\u27S FLIGHT AND THE CASE AND CONTROVERSY QUESTION

The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to review a federal court conviction on a charge of contempt of Congress. Pending determination of the appeal, appellant was released on bail and, after argument on the merits but before a decision had been rendered, he wrongfully fled the country. Subsequently the Attorney General notified the Court that appellant had been apprehended in England at the request of the Secretary of State and that a court of competent jurisdiction there found that appellant was not guilty of an extraditable offense under English law. The Court of its own motion then considered the disposition of the appeal. Held, writ of certiorari would not be vacated but the appeal would be removed from the docket indefinitely pending return of the fugitive. Eisler v United States, 338 U.S. 189, 69 S. Ct. 1453 (1949)

An output-sensitive algorithm for the minimization of 2-dimensional String Covers

String covers are a powerful tool for analyzing the quasi-periodicity of 1-dimensional data and find applications in automata theory, computational biology, coding and the analysis of transactional data. A \emph{cover} of a string $T$ is a string $C$ for which every letter of $T$ lies within some occurrence of $C$. String covers have been generalized in many ways, leading to \emph{k-covers}, \emph{$\lambda$-covers}, \emph{approximate covers} and were studied in different contexts such as \emph{indeterminate strings}. In this paper we generalize string covers to the context of 2-dimensional data, such as images. We show how they can be used for the extraction of textures from images and identification of primitive cells in lattice data. This has interesting applications in image compression, procedural terrain generation and crystallography

LIBEL AND SLANDER-RADIO DEFAMATION-LIABILITY OF BROADCASTING COMPANY FOR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS MADE OVER ITS FACILITIES

During a radio program, a lessee of broadcasting facilities read previously prepared statements regarding a public official which were defamatory per se. In an action for defamation against the broadcasting company, defendant attacked the complaint as insufficient in failing to allege negligence. Held, the allegation of negligence is essential, but the complaint was sufficient. Kelly v. Hoffman, (N.J. 1948) 61 A. (2d) 143
