But Miss Buchanan's attorney. Arthur Johnson, asked for and received a 10-day delay to prepare arguments on the case. Miss Buchanan said that at the time she refused to answer for five reasons: • That she would be breach ing the code of ethics of the journalism profession. • That the information was a privileged communication to her as an employee of the state of Oregon. • That the questions were be yond the proper scope of inquiry of the Grand Jury. • That requiring her to an swer would be a violation of the federal and state constitutions, both of which guarantee free dom of the press. • That she was not permitted legal counsel in the Grand Jury hearing.

He called Frye to the stand and questioned him about the press release but Judge Leavy held that the question was irrelevant. Johnson pointed out that, as managing editor of the Emerald, Miss Buchanan is paid a salary and is in a policy-making position Thus he argued that she qualified for privilege under an Oregon statute which allows state officials to keep information confidential except when it is in the public interest. Johnson noted that in one ma-j jor case on this issue, Garland vs. Torre, the court said that report ers should be required to give confidential information only; when it is not available from other sources or is absolutely es sential. In that case the court held, j however, that the reporter had to j reveale her sources. Frye noted that there are 12 states which have a law granting journalists privilege, but Oregon ; is not one of them. He said there is no evidence that freedom of the press is imperiled by lack of privilege, pointing to Oregon as a case in point. Johnson replied that the rea-' son Oregon had no problems was that the press "up until now has been free of this kind of harass ment.” He said Frye should be able to get the information Miss Bu chanan had through the “investi gative resources” of the district attorney's office. When the two lawyers had completed their arguments Leavy leaned forward, looked at Miss Buchanan said said in a matter of-fact tone. “It is the order of the court that you answer the j questions asked you.” Two days later. June 15, Miss i Buchanan went back before the Grand Jury. Frye, now armed with the court order, again asked her to give the names. Again she refused Again they went across the hall to Leavy’s court where he set Monday at 10 a m. as the date for the trial to determine wheth er or not Miss Buchanan is in contempt of court. At that time I.eavy turned down a motion by Frye to find Miss Buchanan in contempt because the motion was improperly word ed. The motion left out the ques tion of whether she had knowl edge that the court order had been issued. Leavy granted a 30-minute re cess to let Frye prepare a new motion. When the court reconvened he granted Johnson additional on the motion. Johnson said he will ask for a jury trial Nor mally contempt trials arc heard only by a Judge. The maximum sentence she will face, if found guilty, is six months in jail and a $300 line. She and Johnson say they will probably appeal to the State Su preme Court, if the verdict goes against them Monday. At the end of last week Miss lluchanan had received about 00 telegrams, all hut two of which supported her position. The case has attracted national attention. At Wednesday’s second tirand Jury hearing were representatives of Time magazine, the New York Times, the l.os Angeles Times, and other papers and radio and television stations. 1 CLAYPOOL'S The Student’s Drug Store 886 E. 13th Phone 344-4031 Laurelwood Municipal Golf Course Newly Revised 9-Hole Course AND NEW DRIVING RANGE Open 'Til Dusk Pro Shop and Restaurant Only 10 Blocks South of Campus 2700 Columbia Phone 343-1915 DRIVE OUT DRIVE IN 345-6321 821 E. 13th Convenient 1-DAY Service Fast Pick Up and Delivery
