(AP Wirephoto) Court of Domestic Relations For Marion County Is Argued Arguments in favor of establishment of a court of domestic relations in Marion county were made before two members of a sub-committee of the ways and means committee Tuesday. Speaker of the House John F. Steelhammer, who is author of a bill providing for an additional judge, told the committee that Inasmuch as cases involving Old Marriage Ban on Skids The senate voted 21 to 7 Tuesday to Tepeal Oregon's 85-year-old law which bans inter racial marriages. The bill goes to the house. The law prohibits white per sons from marrying Negroes, In dians, Chinese or Hawaiians. The repealer was asked by Governor Douglas McKay's council on Indian affairs, since Indian leaders said the law dis criminates against their race. The law was passed in 1866. It provides jail sentences of three months to a year for per sons entering such marriages. Any person who issues a license to such a couple or performs such a marriage can get the same penalty, plus a fine of $100 to $1,000. Opponents of the bill argued isn't fair to the children of mixed marriages to allow such marriages to be performed. But the sponsors contended that marriage is a personal right, subject to the laws of God, and the state has no right to ban any kind of marriage. Sen. Philip Hitchock, Kla math Falls, one of the sponsors, said the present law "is a dis grace to the state of Oregon. It is an insult to the other races." state departments must be heard in Marion county, the two cir cuit judges do not have suffi cient time to devote to juvenile matters. W. W. McKinney, who for our years served as municipal judge, said that because of pres ent conditions juveniles are held in jail for as high as three weeks at a time awaiting a hearing. He contended that a committee that had studied the problem for sev eral months had recommended, first, that an additional judge to preside in a domestic relations court should be authorized and i juvenile home established in the county. Sen. Dean Walker, a member of the committee, said he recog nized the problem that Marion county faced but said that Lane county is faced with a similar one. "If a bill were brought in here providing, first for a presiding judge in Multnomah county to serve in that position permanent ly and also a presiding judge for the state of Oregon, having jur isdiction over all circuit courts in the state, I would be in a bet ter position to pass on this bill," Walker said. District Judge Joe Felton call ed attention to the fact that be cause most of the institutions are locaed in Marion county, many families of persons sen tenced or committed to the insti tutions settle in Salem and juv enile problems arise. Judge Felton said that estab lishment of a domestic court in Marion county would be a pro gressive step. Rep. Francis Ziegler, chair man of the sub-committee, told the delegation that the commit tee would consider the question at the next meeting when it was expected that Sen. William Walsh, who was at another com mittee Tuesday, would be in at tendance. So Safe! Pleasant Tasting For MlPWf Sen. Marie Wilcox, Grants! Pass, said several veterans, who have married girls overseas who belong to races other than white, had asked her to support the bill so they could bring their wives home. Voting against the bill were Sens. Rex Ellis and Carl Eng- dahl, both of Pendleton; Angus Gibson, Junction City; Frank H. Hilton and Thomas R. Ma honey, both of Portland; Eugene E. Marsh, McMinnville; and 1 ussell Gardner, Newport.

Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, March 21, 1951 9 Geographer Says Americans Are World's Worst Pioneers Chicago, March 21 U.R) Americans who are fed up with the workaday world and hanker to get away to some palm-fringed tropic isle got a word of advice today from a world traveler, "Stay home," was Dr. Earl P. Hanson's emphatic counsel. Hanson, a professor of geography at the University of Dela ware, is an expert on such far-f; flung places as Iceland, the Am azon basin, Liberia, and the tropics. "It all seems so glamorous when you're here at home," Hanson said, "but it isn't at all." "And Americans are the lous iest pioneers in the world. "They're used to too many conveniences. Unless they can go to the movies every night or watch television whenever they want to, or unless there are a lot of other foolish Americans around to talk to, before you know it they want to eo home." Hanson was attending the an nual meeting of the Association of American Geographers, spon- sorea by Northwestern univer sity. He spoke on a phase of "The Problems of the White Man in the Tropics." He conceded that today's spir aling prices, high taxes and threats of war might make a lot of people think they would like to "go native" and get back to the "simple life." "But it takes a lot more than just wanting to get away from it all," he said. "At least it does if you're you're going to make a success of it. It takes adaptibility. You have to be ready to put up with all kinds of inconveniences and like them. Why, take an American, put him under a palm tree and he thinks he's happy. But the first cockroach that drops into his soup and he's all set to pack up and grab the next boat for home." SAVES MONEY FDR MILLIONS " !
