November Job Seekers
Increase 5200 Over
Figure of Year Ago
Salem U.R) Job seekers in
creased by 10,300 in November,
but the 40,700 total estimated by
the State Unemployment Com
pensation Commission Tuesday
was 5200 below the figure on
Dec. 1, 1953.
Most of the improvement over
last year came from western
timber districts where activity
remained strong despite seasonal
limitations.
17 Report Decreases
Of the state's 26 employment
offices, 17 reported decreases
from a year ago, eight had in
creases and one remained the
same. Every area noted more un
employed than on Nov. 1, and
Hood River, Salem and Toledo
more than doubled last month's
figures.
"The Portland metropolitan
area reported 3000 more without
work than a month before and
600 more than a year ago. Most
of the job gains over 1953 came
from Corvallis, Lebanon,' Eu
gene, Coos Bay, Toledo, Grants
Pass and Roseburg.
Seasonal increases in unem
ployment resulted in payments
to workers advancing to $1,486,
847 in November, nearly 40 per
cent higher than the previous
month and $49,209 more than in
1953. It was the 38th consecu
tive month in which benefits ex
ceeded the similar period a year
before.
Highest Payment Year
November's payments brought
the total for. 11 months to $21,
893,800, higher than ever before
recorded for a calendar year.
More than a third was paid out
by the Portland office, while
Eugene and Salem added $3,
144,426 to the total. jWorkers
who had gone to other states
after holding Oregon jobs drew
$1,984,102.
More Than 10,
Drivers Convicted
During November
Salem (U.R) More than 10,
000 drivers arrested for traffic
violations in Oregon during No
vember were subsequently con
victed, according to Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry.
Driver's licenses of 545 'motor
ists were suspended during the
month 131 upon court recom
mendation, 137 by discretionary
action of the State Department,
and 307 after court convictions
on traffic offenses calling for
mandatory license suspension.
'Repeaters', Suspended
Newbry - said his office sus
pended 29 persons whose driv
ing records branded them as re
peaters." Three drivers lost their
licenses because they were at
fault in fatal "accidents. . .
. In addition, Newbry's office
sent 632 letters to motorists ad
vising them their driving records
had been placed in the repeater
file due to too-frequent convic
tions or accident involvement.
Any further entries, they were
told, would result in being called
in for an interview with driver
licensing officials. Last month
104 such nterviews were con
ducted throughout the state.

New Rules Designed
To Speed Handling
Of Cases by Courts
Salem U.R) A new set of
rules concerning the administra
tion of Circuit Courts, designed
to speed up disposition by the
Oregon Supreme Court and sent
to all Oregon circuit judges, ac
cording to Chief Justice Earl C.
Latourette. ' ; .
A committee appointed; by
the chief justice drew up the set
of rules later approved by the
Supreme Court. On the commit
tee were Paul R. Harris of Eu
gene, William - M: ' McAllister of
Bedford, Circuit Judge William
G. East of Eugene, Circuit Judge
Eugene - K. Oppenheimer , of
"Multnomah county, A. S. Grant
of Baker, Nicholas Jauregey of
Portland, Alva C. Goodrich of
Bend, Francis Marsh of Mc
Minnville, , Glenn R. Jack - of
Oregon City, immediate past
president of the Oregon State
Bar, and Jonel C. Hill, adminis
trative assistant to the chief
justice.
Under the new rules each cir
cuit judge must submit a month
ly tally of undecided cases, mo
tions and demurrers made up on
the last judicial day of the
month.1" 3 ; ' : ' - -Three
Months Deadline . - ....
Another rule provides that cir
cuit . judges must - decide all
matters of - judicial 'business ex
cept motions, within . "three
months after submission unless
excused by the chief justice for
illness or other good cause. -'
Motions made to the circuit
courts must ' be decided within
one month after submission un
less a judge is excused for cause
by the chief justice. '
The rules further provide that
county clerks must submit quar
terly reports on all circuit court
cases, ; filed" and still pending.
The report is to be mailed to the
administrative assistant to .the
chief justice not later than the
24th day of the month following
the. end of the quarter..
Law Gives Authority.:
The new rules form a part of
the supervision of the Circuit
Court authorized by the 1953
Legislature in the law which
gives the chief justice specific
authority to appoint pro tern
judges and other powers to
speed up court work.
Chief Justice Latourette ap
pointed Jonel C. Hill as his ad
ministrative assistant and Hill
has checked court records in all
judicial districts in the past year.
Chief Justice Latourette said the
act was working very well and
cited the fact that , the Circuit
Courts in Multnomah county, 14
months behind in hearing of
cases a year ago,- now are only
seven months ' behind.
" , Besides naming temporary
judges-to help break the-legal
log jam, Chief Justice Latourette
has assigned circuit judges with
light case loads to Judicial . dis
tricts with heavy; case loads, to
help in the program to break the
log jams in the c6urts.

Most Juvenile
Briton's View
New York (U.R) Britain's
Field Marshal Viscount Mont
gomery believes school teachers
should have the authority to
whip unruly students.
Montgomery said here recent
ly "a good beating with a cane
can have a remarkable sense of
awakening on the mind and con
science of a bad boy." .
: Most American experts on
juvenile problems disagree.
Here's what a UP check of sev
eral authorities showed.
Not Used at Boy's Town
" Msgr. Nicholas Wegner, direc
tor of Boy's Town: "Corporal
punishment is not used at Boy's
Town and I don't think it would
do much good. Many of the boys
here have had too much of that
already."'
Dr.' Martha M. Eliot, chief of
the U.S. Children's Bureau: ". . .
He (Montgomery) is taking a
position that our country has
few advocates among specialists
State- May
Feel
Christmas Tree
Crop Shortage
Salem (U.R) Oregon, one of
the nation's principal sources of
Christmas trees, may feel a
shortage of the decorative crop
this year. V
State Forester . George Spaur
said there were several reasons
for the short supply. Indiscrim
inate harvesting is no. longer
permitted now that landowners
realize the value of young trees;
commercial cutting on national
forests is on the basis of competi
tive bidding and those contracts
were let more than a month ago.
Higher stumpage: prices have dis
couraged many speculators.
Many Requests Received '
Spaur said his office has re
ceived a number of requests for
names of sources of trees for the
Christmas trade in the east and
south. More.than 2,000,000 acres
of timberlands in western Ore
gon are now dedicated to tree
farms and Christmas tree cutting
is held to a tight minimum, he
said.
Retailers; who must have well
formed trees to be successful in
the-highly competitive down
town .trade,' are reluctant to buy
"orchard run" trees at the cur
rent price of 50 cents each or
more. Spaur said the shortage
has started a trend . toward
Christmas tree ' plantations . de
voted solely to the planting and
harvest of small trees for the hol
iday trade. .

OPEN EVENINGS UNTIL CHRISTMAS ;
Experts Disagree With
on Corporal Punishment
in normal and delinquent be
havior of youngsters. Our ex
perts are inclined to hold that
any kind of punishment of chil
dren is worthless unless it does
more than just stop poor, be
havior and that it an be actual
ly harmful when it outrages a
child's sense of dignity and per
sonal worth." -
Former champion Jersey Joe
Walcott, father of six and now a
juvenile inspector: "Any pun
ishment I got in school didn't
do me any harm. I'm sure we
would 'have 'less delinquency
problems if the teacher had the
right to punish pupils."
Understanding Excluded
Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson
(R-N. J.), chairman of subcom
mittee on juvenile delinquency:
"I have great respect for the
military genius of Viscount
Montgomery but it is clear .that
he has occupied his mind with
military matters to the exclusion
of a full understanding of the
many facets of juvenile delin
quency." " ,
Bandleader Bob Crosby,
whose three boys recently 'ran
away from home: 'T prefer to
talk things out with my children
vid I believe spankings should
only be the last resort. Talking
it over has worked fine with us.
I never . have really paddled
them." ; ' .'
