ever you might want to call them
going on now. As one member
put it "we seem to be just about
knee-deep in ’red herrings’ around
here now.”
By Harris Ellsworth. M. C.
For some time the two federal
district judges in Oregon have
been badly overworked. The pop
ulation of our state has increased
nearly 50%. An additional feder
al judge is badly needed. The
house recently passed and sent
to the senate a bill cerating a
number of new federal district
judges, including additional judge
for Oregon.
Although the bill was passed
without many negative votes an
interesting floor battle developed
over an amendment offered b./
R( p. Keating, a Republican from
New York. He pointed out that
federal judges are appointed for
life and that during the last 13
years of control by th • one partv
numerous vacancies have occur
red. The result is a federal judic-
iary preponderant ly of one party,
amendment simply provided
that no more than two-thirds of
the newly-created judges should
he appointed from one political
party. A hot fight developed on
the floor. It was pointed out in
the debate that of tLe last 1 D
federal judges appointed, 182 of
them were registered as Demo-
mats and only seven Republicans,
Thus, it was correctly declared
that our system of government
which is supposed to consist of
three independent branches leg-
and judicial.
isla t i ve,
has in tact loi' some time (except
1941 and 1918
for tiie >
when the Republicans controlled
congress), been completely con
trolled by one political party. The
Democrats fought the amendment
and it was defeated.
For benefit of members of the
Democrat party who might
a chuckle at the expense of Re-
publicans, it may be noted that
the Republican congress could
have passed this legislation last
Io wait until

president (we thought) could ap-
point the new judges’ Now thev

Truman anyhow.
I have been deeply disturbed
over the blow dealt a splendid or-1
ganization, the FBI, because the
judge in the Copion trial allowed
their secret files to be read in
open court. These papers con
tained numerous names in reports
accumulated by the FBI. It
sensational stuff, of course, nut
I think the reporting of the trial
has been generally, if uninten
tionally unfair to the FBI. The
stuff read at the trial was merely
miscellaneous data gathered from
all sourts of sources. It was not
supposed to be faction and did
not represent conclusions or re-1
ports by the FBI. Obviously an I
investigating agency must accum- ;
ulate mat (»rial of this sort and
sift it out. Practically all of that
which w a s read in court and
widely printed in newspapers rep-
resented nothing but worthless
chaff. The roading of it not
only did harm to those whose
names were mentioned but untold
harm to the FBI.
Thanks to the excellent work
of Rep. Homer Angell from the
Portland district with whom I
have been working closely on the
problem, I think some additional
neded authorizations for the Wil
lamette Hood control projects will
be passed at this session. Mr. An-

and partly due to changes in the
original plans. As a result of
Mr. Angell’s work with the com

will be authorized. Also, it was
found necessary to substitute two
dams on tributaries for one large
dam on the McKenzie river. The
two substitute dams require tech

this matter will be cleared also.
