W a r n e r , representing Thomas Golden. president of the San Diego County Bar Association, extended to His Excellency the greetings of Natural Inclination Saying the legal assump- tion of rigt.ts rests on the natural la". Father Yahn noted that It has been dis- covered by man within hlm• self, Endowe-1 with intellects, we note, for example, "that there ts a. b~slc natural in• cllnat!on to preserve our own exi~tence. . ." We call it the natural law of self preservation, Father Yahn said, And we associate it with an awareness of an obligation on the part of oth• em to respect that right to life anu with a claim on t 1 1e part of others that we, re- spect their right to life. "In our constitutions we refer to basic . natural principles of liberty and jUS• t k e s temming from human nature itself. In lhe Constitu- tion the St te of Califor• n and in the United States De ;iration or Independence his organization,
Basic Rights These rights man has dis- covered for himself In the natural law; they are basic I to man's nature, Father Yahn said. Man thus becomes "conscious of a whole series I o! obligations about which he Is very aware even though he does not immediately• or clearly put them Into . . . I laws. Man knows that he must not k!ll fellow men; that he must have respect for his companions In life, that he must care for his off. spt"ing, that he Jives best In society, that he must speak the truth, and that he must be considerate of others 1f he 15 to expect the e a m e treatment from them. He is aware of a being greater than himself, the au- thor of his life and posses• sions to which be owes what we dau worship • . . He is aware of a law discovered within hiffiself, within h Is heart \\1th.In bis nature. He is a~vare of spontaneously formed precepts as i u d g- ments af his reason or voice ot conscience, he is aware of judging whether his actions conform to his nature as good or are not In conform• tty as bad." I Noting that nature Jnm- ishes viQlators, ather Yahn • continued , "The laws ol the state and nation ar,; made to reinforce theRe natur,al laws with further san11tlons, and \ penalties for vlol&tiO'), and to make new laWJI where the natural \aw is silent in r e- gard to netails.

Pecarovich et On Giving Fans Money's Worth By GENE GREGSTON EVENING TRIBUNE Executive Sports Editor Those who sing of National League superiority can back their arguments with two pieces of recent evi- dence. Casey Wise, who had hit only one homer and batted in 12 runs in three seasons with the Cubs and Braves, hit two homers and drove in five runs in one game for the Detroit Tigers. And Bobby Thomson, fresh from the Cubs and Giants, broke in with four-for-five and four RBI with the Boston Red Sox ... ::J.like Pccarovich, who meets his 'Cniverslty of San Diego gridders for the first time this weekend, has the right idea. for small-time eollegiate football. "We need to make it entertaining," he );aid the other evening. "Do some things with the football and let the fans see it." .•• I A busmess report sheet l'Oll s t'1.at Tom Haynes has an option on 38.5 acres of Kearny Mesa land and says he phns a new auto racing stadium with a total invest- m ent of $2,000,000.
