Newspaper Page TextCity Group Opposed to Jury Trials Plan Too Costly, League Contends SALEM 11 The League of Oregon Cities expressed fears Friday that guarantees of jury trials and right of counsel would be costly to the cities and would obstruct justice. Chris J. Kowitz, Salem city at torney representing the League, expressed his doubts to the judi cial subcommittee of the Consti tutional Revision Commission. The subcommittee has indi cated that it will proposo a sys tem whereby municipal courts would be part of an integrated state judicial system. The full commission has rec ommended that every person, threatened with loss of liberty, be guaranteed a jury trial, as well as the right to an attorney. Kowitz testified that cities would be subject to intolerable harrassment and justice would be obstructed if every defend ant could have these rights. Guarantee Costs Under present laws, persons tried in city courts can have jury trials, provided they guar antee to pay costs if they are convicted. But Kowitz admitted that indigent persons can't get such trials. He said there is a problem in small cities of finding attorneys to defend people, and added that a state-paid public defend er might be the answer. He opposed giving the gover nor the power to appoint local judges, saying this would give him too much power. Kowitz, however, appeared not to have changed the minds of the subcommittee. "It is inconsistent," Justice A. T. Goodwin said, "to provide trial by jury and the right to counsel, and then say this wouldn't apply to violation of city ordinances which can pro vide sentences of six months in jail." Logjam Feared Kowitz answered that per sons accused of drunkenness or charged with minor traffic vio lations could tie up the courts with demands for trials. Judge Herbert M. Schwab, Portland, chairman of the sub committee, suggested that when a person demands a trial for a city offense, the trial could be held in the state-operated dis trict courts. Alexander , Brown, Portland city attorney, agreed with Ko witz. He said Portland has 20,000 moving traffic violation cases a year. Judge Schwab suggested that the municipal courts might want to convict because they are under pressure to raise rev enue for their cities. Brown said he opposes the idea of having district courts conduct trials for the cities. Feature Times SATURDAY FOX State Fair, 1:45, 5:05, S-30. The Clown and the Kid, 12:30, 3:50, 7:15, 10:30.

The Rev. T. X. Graham said the store chain was refusing to hire qualified Negro workers for grocery checkers or other jobs. Earle A. Chiles, president of the stores, said, "The only com ment we have is that we do em ploy people of every race." The Rev. Graham, who is chairman of the N.A.A.C.P. la bor committee, said the store chain employed no Negroes un til last winter, when the N.A.A. CP. talked it over with the store. Graham said that since then two Negroes have been hired. "Both are in a restaurant, do ing bus-boy type work. We said that kind of work has been open to us, but we think we have plenty of people qualified to handle different work," the Rev. Mr. Graham said. "We have screened a number of persons and sent those we felt qualified to Fred Meyer's. Fred Meyer's has 1,800 or more employes, and we t h i n k it strange that only two are Ne gro. We believe we have pur sued this with patience," the minister said. He said letters had gone to all ministers, notifying them of the boycott and to some organ izations, notifying them of the boycott. He added that if this did not bring a change, picketing of the stores might follow. Economic boycotts have been used by Negroes in other cities notably Philadelphia to open up job opportunities.
