Ballot Measure 5 asks the state’s
voters to decide who will name me Chief
Justice ot the Oregon Supreme Court
The choice is between the members ot
the court (who have made previous
selections) or the governor
The argument by proponents of the
May 18 ballot measure is that the court
reform package adopted by the state
Legislature consolidates the state
courts under the administration of the
chief justice - rather than the entire
supreme court and a court administra
tor The governor is the best judge of an
administrator, proponents argue
Barnes Ellis, an attorney and member
of the committee that researched and
presented toe court reform proposal to
the Legislature, says the chief justice
wilt be dealing with budgets in excess of
$100 million The chief justice’s chal
lenge wii! be administration. Ettis says
The governor appoints administrators
tor all major state agencies he says,
adding that the governor is used to
making those selections and knows
what to look for
The main reason tor having a vote on
toe measure is to decide which selection
method will result to a chief justice of the
best administrative ability, Ellis says
The second consideration is political

Hans Linde an associate justice cm
the state supreme court, strongly
disagrees. "It is a bad measure and
ought to be defeated," he says. The
members of the court are best qualified
to name the chief justice, especially
since that person wifi now be saddled
with administrative responsibilities,
Linde says Court members ateo have a
greater stake tn seeing mat the right
choice is made
'We have to live with it, he says
The chief justice wtfl be able to spend
only about two-thirds of his time writing
opinions, Linde says if tee members of
tee court choose tee chief justice, they
won't pick someone who is
exceptionally good at opinion writing,
he adds.
The office may become politicized
if tee governor makes tee appointment,
Linde says. Although tee initial appoint
merrt would not be made for political
reasons, if a chief justice wants a
second term under a different governor,
tee office may become a political issue,
he says.
State Sen Ted Kuiongoski, exjunc
tion City, says he questions tee consti
tutionality of the proposal The measure
violates tee separation of powers among
the legislative, judicial and executive
branches and is a "risk to our system of
government, ’ he says
Gubernatorial appointment of the
chief justice would have to be provided
for by an amendment to the state con
stitution, as it has been in other states,
Kuiongoski adds.
Kuiongoski opposes using the chief
justice as an administrator
“The chief justice ts still primarily a
jurist To look at him as an administrator
and forget his role as a jurist is wrong. ’
Pres. Reagan may testify
Jury selection commences in Hincklev trial
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sur
rounded by U S marshals and
weanng a bulletproof vest, John
W Hinckley Jr went on trial
Tuesday for attempting to assas
sinate President Reagan
As jury selection began, the
government's chief prosecutor
indicated that Reagan, himself,
may be called to testify
"There will be testimony about
him or you will hear testimony
from him," said Assistant U S
Attorney Roger M Adelman “I
will leave it at that "
Judge Barrington D Parker
said he was looking for a jury that
is "free of bias, free of prejudice,
free of opinion " To that end, he
questioned prospective members
closely
Twelve jurors and six alternates
will be chosen in a process that
may take the rest of the week A
90-member panel was called for
the initial screening process
After the midday recess, with
none of the panelists yet excused,
the judge asked: “How many
have not heard or read anything
about this case?”
Not a single hand went up.
Parker then began summoning
the jurors to the bench
Meanwhile, the government
filed a statement with the court
that it intends to introduce as
evidence a videotape that shows
Hinckley in a crowd about six feet
from then-President Carter in
Dayton, Ohio, on Oct 2, 1980
The statement also said that
“numerous books, magazines
and newspaper articles relating to
earlier assassinations" were
found in Hinckley's home in Ever

photograph of the defendant in
front of Ford's Theater in Wa

was shot
The government paper drew no
conclusions from the material.
Sources have said previously that
there was ‘no hard evidence''
Hinckley had stalked public
figures
At the opening of the trial,
Parker introduced Hinckley to the
panel The boyish-looking
defendant stood, expressionless,

showed beneath his jacket.
Otherwise, Hinckley was an
unobtrusive presence in the
crowded courtroom. A U S.
marshal sat behind him, back-to
back.
Two other marshalls flanked the
pale, blond defendant. At least a
dozen more stood around the
r
courtroom.
Hinckley, who will be 27 on May
29, is charged with attempting to
assassinate the president and 12
other felony counts. He has con
ceded he did the shooting but
claims he is innocent by reason of
insanity.
He sat next to chief defense
counsel Vincent J. Fuller but rar
