As an emergency measure, action :ly 'the federal fove'rh.' ment would be a very good thing. Uncle Sam has taken on a lot of unfamiliar jobs this year; if 'he Wants to tackle the racketeers of the legal profession, how, we can do noth ing but wish him lots of luck. But in the long ran the job is up to the legal profession itself. A much finer sense of the necessity of living up to , the profession's ethical standards, a finer sense of the lawyer s responsibility to society as well as to the client who happens to be paying him, a passion for justice and a recog nition of the fact that a lawyer can soil his hands by hand- niiig the wrong kind of business these are things we must have if the house cleaning is really to be effective.

ONE MORE BLOW AT THE CRIMINAL :" .Whenever you fake up the problem: of 'crime and its pre vention, you are pretty likely to find yourself talking about ' the JaXvyers befoi'e you get through. Attorney 'Geueral , touMimings' announcement that the Department of Justice , is preparing to open fire on lawyers suspected of under ' world connection should not be surprising. That there ire lawyers who work hand in glove with notorious crooks ;is perfectly obvious as, likewise, is the fact' that the crooks .'can't fee curbed effectively until something is done to the lawyers. .' . 1 f ' "One of the most important elements of predatory crime; says the attorney general, "is the manner in which some members Of the bar co-operate with the underworld." I '. Any man accused of crime, no matter how'black his repu tation, is entitled to the best legal defense lie can get when he gets into court. That much goes without saying. But What the attorney general is talking' about is the lawyer who advises the gangster on how to commit and cover up crimes, who helps him slip out of the law's grip when he gets caught, ises trickery to guide him safely through the courts, and In general steps over the ethical borderline in looking after his interests. ; ...t There are lots of lawyers like that. Not in small com munities like La Grande but in the large metropolitan areas where court activities and crime is a daily occurrence. Every one who has had anything to do with the criminal courts knows it perfectly well. So far the various bar associations of the country seem to have been cither unwilling or unable .0 do anything very effective about putting such lawyers out ASSAILANTS OF AMERICAN JAILED BERLIN; Oct. 17 m The two OMmllonte of Roland Velz, im Ameri can who wa struck In the face when he failed to salute the Nazi emblem, were rsentencod to six months Im prisonment on charges of assault and battery In a so-called, speed court here today.

Bend Editor Talks Of Indian Summer (Continued Prom Page One) called Indian summer, we beg to Inform the unknown poct-meteorol oglst of tho far eastern part of the state. There Is often room for dif ference of opinion as to which par ticular spell of Ideal full or early winter weather Is the true Indian summer, but wo fear tho Observer reader Is wrong when he maintains that this typo of summer Is a No vember or December phenomenon. Thorcau, In bin notes on the meteorological conditions in Massa chusetts during the 10 years, 1861- ittuo, records tho occurrence of In dian summer weather on dates all tho day from September 27 to De cember 13 a range of 77 days. If tno I4i orande rosldent cares to read the "Narratlvo of the Canadian Red River Exploring Expedition," he will find data bearing on Indian summer weather which started one vear on October 6 and lasted to November 20. J. w. Schacffer, of the United States weather bureau,- some years ago published an analysis of tho weather records at Milwaukee. Wis.. showing that Indian summer, wca- tner varied widely at that place in its date of occurrence. The origin of the term Indian summer still remains In doubt. The earliest known use of the term was an entry dated October 13, 1704. in tho Journal of Major Ehenczer Den ny, kept In Western Pennsylvania. mat nate. octobcf 13, Is significant In disproving the contention that the term is only applied to Ideal weather occurring In early winter. Tho La Grande man would nlace his Indian summers in lute Novem ber or In December.

COURT HOLDS TRUCK, BUS LAW .VALID Continued xrom page one) ' rules In respect thereto as he may deem advisable. The functions per formed by contract carrlera. are In many respects similar to those of common carriers by truck. It docs not appear that , the latter possess any special privileges or monopoly or business. Both are granted the use of the highways on certain con- I dttlons." Concerning alleged discrimination in favor of creamery trucks the court pointed out that the "plaintiff does not show that he Is engaged In any competitive business with the cream eries, and therefore does not show any injury resulting to mm from this alleged discrimination. The fact that the creamery does not operate its conveyances for hire Is sufficient reason for placing It In a different classification from that of the plaln- wii. . Justification for the exemption of log trucks from the requirement that tney pay certain fees and charges Imposed upon contract and private carriers is found by the court In tho fact that such trucks are otherwise taxed and can claim the exemptions ""in vjsBa u me specilic business of log hauling under permits.
