Reform
Governor Tom McCall today
announced creation of a Gov
ernor’s Commission of Judi
cial Reform In Oregon, to be
headed by Orlando J, Hollis,
former dean of the University
of Oregon Law School. Other
appointments to the 23-mem-
ber panel will be disclosed
shortly.
"It Is generally recognized
nationally by the judiciary, the
Oregon State Bar and the gen
eral public that there Is a vital
need for reform of our Judi
cial system ," McCall said.
"Long delays, overcrowded
dockets, excessive costs and
outdated p r o c e d u r e s are
throwing an Intolerable burden
on our citizens, not only those
who find themselves requiring
the services of our courts, but
taxpayers generally. Many of
the criticism s of the judiciary
do not apply to Oregon. Our
courts are operating fairly ef
ficiently by current standards,
but unless we begin work Im
mediately to streamline the
organization and administra
tion of our courts, we will find
Oregon In the same position as
many other states where jus
tice Is long delayed and In
many cases denied."
The panel Is being directed
to come forward by 1973 with
specific recommendations for
streamlining the organization
and administration of the
courts: promoting speedier
and less expensive litigation:
and redefining the roles of
public attorneys - Including
the a t t o r n e y general, the
public defender and local
prosecutors.
"An objective review of Ore
gon’s Judicial system requires
that judges, lawyers and non
lawyer citizens participate.
Consequently, I Intend to ap
point to this commission - In
addition to Dean Hollis - four
Judges, six members of the
Oregon State Bar, and 11 citi
zens who are not attorneys,"
McCall revealed. The gov
ernor also I n d ic a te d that
Attorney General Lee Johnson
will serve as a member of this
commission.
McCall said C h ie f Justice
O’Connell of the Oregon Su
preme Court has long advocat
ed a meaningful study to pro
vide direction and recommen
dations for Improvement of
our judicial system. He urged
the Involvement of concerned
citizens In any study of our
system so that their view
points can be considered with
those of judges and lawyers
who work within the system.
In describing the qualifi
cations of the commission’s
chairman-designate, McCall
said, "Dean Hollis Is particu
larly well qualified to lead this
effort. His many years of
teaching at the University of
Oregon Law School demon
strates that he possesses one
of the finest analytical and im-
agninatlve minds to be found
anywhere.
‘‘Dean Hollis Is not a man to
be satisfied with the status quo
when the need for change Is ap
parent,” the governor said,
"yet he Is not one who will p er
mit his zeal for judicial re
form to toss out hallowed In
stitutions and procedures
recklessly. Oregonians were
fortunate that he agreed to
serve on the panel charged
with drafting a new farm-labor
relations bill, and we are
doubly fortunate that he has
come forward to make his tal
ents available In this new,
equall-. important effo rt."

for
President
Congressman John Conyers
(Dem. - Calif.)
has
urged
Mayor C a rl Stokes to run fo r
the presidency, declaring that
necessity dictates that a black
presidential candidate be ser
iously considered by the Dem
ocratic Party.
"T h e Democratic P a r t y
needs a candidate who w ill
speak to the c ritic a l reform
needed in this country and who
w ill go beyond just replacing
Richard Nixon.”
he said.
If Stokes accepts, Conyers
said he would work with his
campaign committee in order
that he might enter several
presidential prim aries.
The candidate would conduct
a broadly based campaign de
signed to reach all segments
of the voters concerned with
drastic Institutional reform s.

speaks
"The women we have with us
today are undertaking *a noble
e x p e r i m e n t .’ They are a t
tempting to determine Port
landers’ attitudes regarding
solid waste disposal by a ran
dom survey.
This undertaking is a joint
venture of the League of
Women Voters, SOLV, Junior
League and Concerned Women
for the Environment. They
have s o u g h t professional
guidance In developing their
survey and will have 20 two-
member survey teams In the
field on October 7 at 10:00 a.m.
I anticipate that the Informa
tion gathered by this group will
be a meaningful contribution to
our analysis of developing new
and imaginative programs to
meet the growing problem of
solid waste disposal.
I asked them here today to
make the Council aware of
their activities and to assure
them of our support in this en
deavor.”

Jackson shot
in Back
A new autopsy indicates that
George Jackson was killed
from a bullet wound in the
back, contrary to e a rlie r re
ports that he was shot in the
head.
The new report showed that
a high velocity bullet struck
Jackson in the middle ofthe
back and traveled upward and
through the top of his skull.
E a rlie r reports said Jackson
was shot in the top of the head
by a guard m the watchtower.
M rs . Georgia Jackson claims
her son was murdered by
guards
inside the detention
center and his body dragged
into the yard.
The report, done by a p ri
vate pathologist, showed that
the bullet traveled in ju st the
opposite direction to th a tfirs t
reported.
The report also showed that
Jackson was hit In the ankle
with another bullet. Joseph
O’ B rien, Information O fficer
at San Quentin denied a state
ment attributed to him, that
the new r e p o r t made it
"a lm o st im possible"
that
Jackson was hit by a bullet
fired from a 20-foot high p ri
son gun tower. He said he had
been misunderstood by a
reporter.
The State Department ofC o r-
rections said it could release
no furtherdetailsonjackson’ s
death.

Huffsmith - 235-2870,
City Commissioner Lloyd
Anderson today asked the City
Council to raise the Income
ceiling on the City’s 50 f>er
cent sewer user fee discount to
low Income senior citizens.
The $1.50 monthly discount
would be expanded to Include
couples 65 and over with a
yearly Income of $4000 and
single persons at $2600 annu
ally. Approximately 25,500
Portland senior citizen house
holds would become eligible.
"We have already made a
public policy commitment to
help our low Income senior
citizens when we Initiated a
reduced monthly sewer user
rate earlier this year for those
with Incomes at the $3000 and
$1800 levels respectively,"
said the Public Works Com
missioner. “ Iurge this Coun
cil to reinforce that commit
ment."
Anderson said that the most
recent U. S. Department of
Census figures Indicate that
Portland has undergone a 14.5
percent population increase In
persons over 65 rears of age,
decldely above the City’s total
population growth during the
last decade.
If everyone 65 years old and
above within these In c o m e
levels formally applied, the 50
per cent discount would take
about $450,000 from the Sewer
User Reserve Fund. We will
make ever- reasonable effort
to publicize this program to
ensure that everyone who is
qualified has the opportunity to
take part In the program.
At the same time, the o r
dinance will return the City to
a quarterly billing system to
be effective on the same date.
It is estimated that the admin
istrative savings generated
by this move will offset much
of revenue lost by the expanded
discount offer. Those prefer
ring to pay monthly may do so
by sending a written request to
the Water Bureau.

tro it School Board had encour
aged segiegation.
Nathaniel Jones, general
counsel fo r the NA ACi’ whose
D e tro it branch Initiated the
suit, said the decision is of
m ajor significance and shows
that it can tw established that
segregated schools m the
North are deliberate, and that
racial patterns are not hap
penstance but grow out of
public and private practices.
1. Creating "optional” zones
in changing neighborhoods and
allowing pupils to choose le -
tween nearly all black and
nearly all white schools.
2. Bussing black students to
black schools though they were
farther than they were from
white schools arxl not bussing
white
children to b la c k
schools.
Jugglingof school d is tric t
lines.
The D etroit School Board was
praised fo r its efforts to In
crease the percentage of black
teachers. Between 19t>U and
1970 the percentage of black
teachers increased from 23.3
to 41.1 aixl of black adminis
tra to rs from 4.5 to 37.8.
A federal court found De
tro it’ s public schools had been
deliberately segiegated. De
tro it's schools are cwo-thlrds
black.
The judge blamed the segre
gation on the activities of a
number of agencies. "G ov
ernment actions and inactions
at a ll levels. Federal , state
and local, have combined with
those of private organizations
such as loaning Institutions,
real estate associations and
brokerage firm s " to cover
housing segregation.
State and local government
actions have played a vita l role
In promoting segregation of
the schools. The State Legis
lature, until this session, re
fused to pay fo r transportation
of students in [yetroit no mat
ter what their economic c i r
cumstances or the distance
they live from school. A t the
same time it provided school
transportation in the gene ra lly

Portland is privileged this
season to be one of only five
cities in the nation where Hal
Holbrook w ill perform his In
imitable re-creation "M a rk

and utterly delightful theatri

Holbrook w ill be seen here fo r

pun.
To th o u s a n d s of theatre
goers and m illio n s of televi
sion viewers, Hal Holbrook
and Mark Twain have been one
and the same. But, with his
portiayal on television.during
the past season, of a United
S ta te s Senator, theviewing
audience has become aware of
his range and stature as an
actor. His role in "T h e Bold
Ones", incidentally, won him
an Emmy A ward as Best Actor
in a Dramatic Series.
Entering the theatre at 3
o’clock, Holbrook prepares
f o r an evening performance
with a long and rigorous make
up process which transform s
a handsome young man into the
living Im a g e of Am erica’ s
great humorist. Add to this
the years of research into the
character and life of the sub
ject, and audiences leave the
theatre with the conviction that
they have tru ly spent an even
ing w it h th e long-deceased
Mark Twain.
