Vaughn, Multnomah County, on a charge of assault while armed with a dangerous weapon, was upheld by the State Supreme Court Wednes day in an opinion written by Jus tice William C. Perry. Circuit Judge E. K. Oppenheim- er presided at the trial. The jury, during its delibera tions, asked the trial judge to re define the term "feloniously and to read excerpts from the testimo ny. Appeal to the supreme court was based on refusal of the judge to comply with the request. Justice Perry held that compli ance with the jury's request was discretionary with the trial judge and that since it did not appear that! the defendant was prejudiced by such failure there appeared no abuse of discretion by the court. Appeal was dismissed in the case of Luola Bengston vs. Oscar Berigston, from Jackson County The court record showed that no undertaking had been served and filed and that no transcript on ap peal had been filed with the court Guests Attend Club Luncheon Guests attending the Welcome Wagon Club luncheon at the Mar ion Hotel Wednesday afternoon were Mrs. Arthur Gallison, Mrs. W.

McKay said the legislation was drafted under a resolution adopted by the House last year. The bills Vary greatly in detail but all provide for eventual ter mination I of federal trusteeship over Indian property and would make the Indians subject to the J :! 1 9 same ieaerai ana siaie laws as other citizens. McKay figured the 10 termination bills cover more than 66,000 Indi ans in 10 states, or roughly one seventh of the Indian population as estimated; by the Indian Bureau. He said that under the bills, federal responsibilities for special services to :the Indians, such as roads, health and education, also would be, terminated. "Ample time is allowed, how ever, for the completion of arrange ments under which the Indians would receive customary services from state jand local agencies on the samel basis as other citizens," he added. ; He also 'said they all contain provisions designed to protect the interests of j minors, incompetents, and other individual Indians who will need jsuch protection after termination iof federal trusteeship.
