Court Defines Rights Of Doctors In State Court
A unanimous State Supreme Court ruling states a regularly licensed physician who follows hospital rules has the right to hospital staff membership. If denied, the physician may be heard and defend charges. Dr Wayne Bronaugh of Parkersburg sought to compel Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital trustees to honor his staff application and facility use. Bronaugh, licensed in West Virginia since 1933, had been suspended three months in 1960. Trustees said membership was denied due to revoked privileges at St Joseph's in another city and refused reinstatement until in good standing there.

Supreme Court Defers Reds Registration Case Action
The Justice Department will decide in a month whether to press on with registering the Communist party under the 1950 Internal Security Act after the Supreme Court refused to revisit a ruling voiding a conviction for failure to register. The appeals court said no proof exists of a registrant who would not incriminate himself. The case could go to another trial if such a registrant is found. Other Monday actions included denying reconsideration of a contempt ruling against Mississippi's former Gov. Barnett and Gov. Johnson, allowing damages in mergers under the Securities Exchange Act, upholding a Washington state wholesale tax challenged by General Motors, and hearing American Oil Company's Idaho gas tax complaint. Dallas attorney James P. Donovan and eight others won an avenue to contest Love Field jet runway plans.
