Attorneys Study Broken Marriages Pittsburgh TO Two do mestic relations attorneys here are applying the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure to a problem that causes Alle gheny County courts one of their biggest headaches broken marriages. According to attorneys Samuel Goldstock and Harold C. Edelston, the desertion and non-support branch of the courts is in for a big revamp ing. Goldstock is a committee head in the Allegheny County Bar Association, and Edelston is assistant director of the Health and Welfare Federa tion. The program they have evolved is the result of study ing other systems across the nation, of consultations with the best legal and family trouble experts, and several suggestions advanced at a lo cal Bar Association meeting. But mainly broken marri ages have spurred the revamp ing about 3,000 of them an nually in Allegheny County alone. "A lot of us work with the broken marriage every day, but that doesn't mean we get used to it,", said Goldstock. 'Nobody does. It's just an awful tragedy." If they can only prevent the nightmare of a separated family from arising, the ex perts say, they will take a tremendous load off the court system. "Our judges Inherited the local system, and they can't properly handle the work load with the facilities they have," asserted Goldstock. The distraught wife and her husband need individual attention. Instead of this, Goldstock said, a staff of over worked and improperly train ed employees gives the couple what practically amounts to a brushoff. 4The first' step," said Edel ston, "must be a competent diagnosis of the individual case, much like a doctor's ' diagnosis."

Here are the Results of the Oregon State Bar Poll Held in Josephine and Jackson Counties! Judge Edivard C. Kelly -73 VOTES Walter D. Nunley 8 VOTES Uw About the Bm Poll? 1. WHAT IS IT? The Bar preferential pell it a secret ballet taken by the Oregon State Bar whenever there are judicial positions to be filled by election in the State erf Oregon. One ballot is sent to each attorney in the district where the election is to be held and it is returned by him in an unsigned, sealed envelope to the secretary of the State Bar. On a designated date these ballots are opened and counted and the results announced tor the public. 2. WHY IS THE POLL TAKEN? The Oregon State Bar has conducted polls on judicial offices for many years in response to a general public desire for the reason that attorneys are in a better position to know, first, the requirements of the judicial offices, and second, the qualifications of the attor neys seeking them. 3. WHY DO WE WANT GOOD JUDGES? A good judge helps to provide justice quickly and with a minimum of expense. A poor judge causes delays, errors and expensive appeals. 4. ARE ATTORNEYS SELF-SEEKING IN EXPRESSING THEIR PREFERENCE? Whenever an attorney appears in court, he does so on behalf of a citizen who is opposing ' another citizen also represented by an attorney. One of the citizens must lose. The attorney's concern that we have competent and good judges in our courts is a concern on behalf of the people of the community who may be in court at some time, and also on behalf of the tax-payers who foot the bill. It is the people as well as the attorneys who suffer if judges are not well qualified. Pd. Adv. RETAIN JUDGE KELLY COMMITTEE Otto J.
