court to get a court order which
would force her to testify.
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.

On June 13 Johnson offered
much the same arguments in the
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.
