This was done because a I

Declaring that the right of trial

who Is a guest at the Oregon State
Bar association convention, caused
s(.n8ation aa the maln gpenkeP
nt the opening session held In the
j federal court rooms this morning.
Judge Stern said that while ho
was not pretending to include in

and civil cases should be deter
mined, he was tempted to declare
that the right to call a jury In
either case should be discretionary
with the trial court. Only in such
cases as he thinks he would prefer
to huve a question of fact dcter
n.liM'd by others, should the right
to empanel a jury bo given,
roundel! on KxperlciK1!
The visiting jurist said that
hl suggestion was founded upon
an experience in nun u cciuuiy ui
active - practice at the bar, even
including jury service; a term upon
jtrllll of jury nml non.jury caBe8 in
" number of federal and state
jurisdictions. It was also based,

suggest is Intended to effect that

That the criminal fears the
