SALEM, Ore., May 27. P The
Oregon supreme court today or
dered the permanent disbarment ot
George W. Joseph, Republican nom

Mannix, Portland attorney.
A board of referees appointed
by the supreme court to hear the
cases of the two attorneys had pre
viously recommended that Joseph
be disbarred permanently and that
Mannix be disbarred for three
years.
The court held today, nowever,
Mint Mnnnlv who hrniurht dishur-
ment proceedings against Joseph
should not be permitted to practice
law Jn this state again.
In the case of Senator Joseph.
Juustlce Bean dissented, holding
thati a disbarment for three years
would be sufficient in this case. ,
In the case of Mannix, Justice

suspension of but one year would
be adequate.

The disbarment action in the

Justice llossman. who wrote the
decision disbarring Mannix, said:
