Letter to McNary.
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 13. (P)
The Oregonian said thly morning
that Washington, D. C, forestry
officials have notified Senator Mc
Nary, Oregon, that the outlook for
the completion of the North Uhip
qua highway is uncertain.
Excessive cost of VdnatilTcTiti'n 'of
tho remaining link in tho rou:l
seems to be the principal- objctlon
of the forest service. , 'The district
forester at Portland has. offered a
compromise Jn the form of a sur
vey of tho rest of tho route If the
counties interested wlil contribute
half of the total cost, estimated at
f30.noo.
"It appears that the project from
Rock creek to a junction with the
Crater .Lake-Odcll road hud beei
recommended as a forest highway
by the state highway commission,
the district engineer of the bureau
of public roads and the district
forester," stated the letter received
by McNary.
"Two sections of the road, one
from t Rock creek to Steumhoat,
and the other from the Crutor
I,akc-Odcll road to tho Rig Camas
ranger station, have boon con
structed, but the portion between
these two sections has not beeT
undertaken, duo to excessive In

Charges Against . Judiciary
By Portland Lawyer Dur
ing Campaign Should Be
Proved Or Maker Dis
barred Is Assertion W.
Lair Thompson Tele
gram Evidence Hit.
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 13. (V
"When u lawyer falls so low aa to
make churges that judges are for
sale and that they sell opinions
for dollai'H, nothing can excuue
him but proof that those charges
are true, and if unable to furnish
that proof he should be deprived
of the privilege of practicing his
profession, " declared W. Lair
Thompson In the opening argu
ment for the prosecution today in
the George Joseph disbarment
trial.
Thompson was citing one of
Joseph's radio speeches made dur
ing the political campaign of 1928,
later published und distributed in
pamphlet form. In that speech
Thompson quoted Joseph as say
ing: "I havo derived information
that litigants have been approach
ed und told that for a money con
sideration Ihey can get favorable
decisions." ,
JoKeph was further quoted us
Haying he would withhold details
of such approaches and later take
them before u grand Jury. ,Tho
fact that no proof wus ever ufforod
by Joseph was declared by Mr.
Thompson to show that the sole
purpose of tho statements (wus to
doHtruy public confidence in the
courts.
Three Kpltsode
In opening hls.addreKS Thomp
koh said that the evidence In the
caso divides Into throe periods, tho
first dealing with articles publish
ed in tho Portland Telegram in
1UU7 prior to tho campaign, the
second with articles published dur
ing the cnmpulKn m jnB, und the
thli'd with vlilifioatloh'llfffinfst ilid'
court indulged in by Joseph in
laan. Tho articles of 1UJ7, ho
said, wero sufficient, If Joseph wus
In any way responsible fur them,
to constitute the churges on which
h should bo disbarred, !
"Tho editor of tho Telegram re
peatedly denied on this witness
stand that those articles wore dis
cussed with Joseph prior to publi
cation. Hut when Mr. llansfeu, tho
political writer for that paper, was
on tho stand he was compelled to
admit that Joseph was not only
consulted, but that he und Mr.
Hrockhagen went to Joseph's of
fico and consulted him. They try
to lay responsibility on a dead man
(Judge JO. V. Littlefleld), but can
anyone doubt who Is tho dictator
In that law office?"
llauen Ithllrulcd
Thompson ridiculed Jlunzcn's
testimony that ho had never con
sulted with ( Joseph about the
Wemmo articles, notwithstanding
Joseph was ono of several persons
to whom ho wa referred by ex
Henator Htanfleld for details.
"Huch testimony," said Thomp
son, "taxes tho credulity of anyone
to the breaking point, for thero is
a deadly parallol hotweeu those
articles and the radio speeches
that Jlanzen admits he helped Jo
seph prepare."
Thompson scouted tho Brock-
hagen testimony that the Tele
gram did not keep in touch with
Joseph relative to matter to bo
published in the newspaper by cit
ing the testimony given by Si, T.
Cope, former city editor of the
paper, in the caso of Mannlx
against tho Telegram. In Cope's
testimony ft was rocordod thitt he
said he called Joseph on the tele
phone practically every day for a
year to give him the gist of the
news going Into the paper, and
that ho did consult him about the
article on which the Mannlx suit
was based. .
"If anyono doubts that Joseph
was controlling tho Telegram this
should be dlspcllud by the testi
mony of Mr. Uudgway," Thompson
continued.
