OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
; lngton, Jan. 28. The Senate subcom
i mitteo appointed to examine into and
I report upon the nomination of Christian
1 Schuebei 'as District Attorney for Ore
; eon, held its first meeting this after
' noon. Senator Bourne did not appear,
and it will be necessary to have an
other meeting for his benefit before a
report can be made to the full commit
tee. It is expected that this report will be
made next Monday and there ia good
reason to believe that it will be unani
mous against Mr. Schuebel, unless his
nomination should be withdrawn before
the matter can go to the Judiciary
committee. His lack of experience in
the Federal Courts is regarded as the
roost serious handicap. An adverse re
port from the subcommittee would be
accepted by the full committee and its
adverse report to the Senate would
mean rejection of the nomination.
Bourne Fails to Appear.
When the report is made to the full
committee Senator Fulton will ask for
immediate action and will follow up
the matter in the Senate and have the
case closed as speedily as possible.
When it was decided to hold a meet
ing today, Mr. Bourne was notified and
requested to be present and make what
ever statement he desired in Mr. Schue
bel's behalf. Though ho liaa oeen out all
morning, Mr. Bourne sent word that he
was HI and could not appear, and asked
for delay. All arrangements for the meet
ing had been made, however, so Mr.
Bourne was assured that lie would have
an opportunity to be heard before the
subcommittee reports.
Objections to Schuebel.
Congressmen Hawley and Ellis were
heard in opposition to Mr. Schuebel. Both
made it plain that they did not object to
Mr. Schuebel on personal grounds, but
solely .because of his lack of experience
in the Federal courts and his limited gen-
. eral law practice. They believed he was
not qualified to fill the office of District
Attorney. They laid before the subcom
mittee letters of protest which they had
received and these were supplemented by
a great number of Bimilar letters which
were presented by Mr. Fulton. They said
the letters showed conclusively that Mr.
Schuebcrs appointment was not satisfac
tory to the leading members of the Ore
gon bar. Furthermore, court records
were produced showing that Mr. Schuebel
had never appeared as counsel in any
case -before the United States ' District
Court, and had appeared but once before
the Oregon Supreme Court.
Mr. Fulton, who Is chairman of the sub
committee, explained to Senators Knox
. and Clarke that his objection, like that of
Mr. Hawloy and Mr. Ellis, is based entire
ly upon Mr. Schuebel's lack of qualifica
tions. Gives Relief to Irrigators.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash

leave of absence to settlers on Gov
ernment irrigation projects who have
