On Non-Support Charges

under the nrogram, more empha
sis should be placed on requiring
those who apply for assistance to
furnish self-help."
The investigative body went
along with the feeling of Dist. Atty.
Robert M. Stults that the Legisla
ture should strengthen existing
laws in regard to assistance.
And, the jurors recommended
immediate action on the part of
welfare commission personnel re
garding many cases, so that law
enforcement agencies will be more
successful in dealing with the cul
pable parent or parents.
After reading the report,. Judge
Carl E. Wimberly backed up the
report with a few comments on
the current situation and on fla
grant cases which have come up
in the past.
Telling of the almost daily par
ade of persons, before him charged
with non-support, the judge said it
is "a sad commentary on the male
of the species."
One of the examples of flagrant
cases he mentioned involved a
mother who was drawing aid for
her children while the father was
drawing unemployment compensa
tion. Admitting that support ind
unemployment laws were set up
for good reasons. Judge Wimberly,
nevertheless, no'nted out some of
the faults he believes are existent
in the laws.
Bail of $1,000 each was set on
the 34 persons indicted. The grand
jurors have been in a huddle with
the district attorney and variov?
witnesses for more than a week
deciding on the indictments.
Judge Wimberly continued the
current grand jurors until the end
of the present term, in February.

service office in Roseburg Mon -
day. ,
Tonight he and Mrs. Ellsworth
leave for Washington, D.C., tnd
another busy legislative session
which convenes Jan. S.
The Roseburg legislator said he
hated to leave home. The Elbv

busy time.
After a strenuous campaign ses
sion, the Congressman took a deep
breath and then plowed into the
business of talking with constitu
ents who came to visit him at his
office in Room 317, Pacific Bid;..
Roseburg.
He saw an average of three or
four voters a day . with a great
variety of problems. "Most of the
problems weren't too serious," he
said Monday, "but they involved
matters I was able to help solve.'
Cong. Ellsworth urged people in
his district to contact him when
they have some kind of difficulty
involving them and the goverp
ment. ,
His advice, he hastened to add,
doesn't cover tax matters. "The
government supplies tax consult
ants," he said. Persons wishing to
contact Cong. Ellsworth may do
so by. writing him at the House
Office Bldg., Washington D.C.
While in Roseburg, his office
was open in Washington. Visitors
to Washington, D. C. in 1955 will
find him and his staff in Room
1130 on the first floor of the House
Office Bldg. The move this ses
sion from his old office on the sixth
floor is the first he's made since
going" to Washington.
His time in Oregon wasn't all
spent in the office. Often he was
out talking with groups In the dis
trict who sought his advice. Here
in Roseburg he has been helped
ov Mrs. tiordon Stewart. Cong, j
Ellsworth was very compliment
