Also, it takes some time to educate members so they - become familiar with the problems under study. A temporary committee loses the benefits of that experience when it disbands, Both Main and Frank Van Dyke, Medford attorney, are members of the trial courts subcommittee under the in terim committee. Main was appointed by the chief justice of the state supreme court and Van Dyke was appointed by the president of the Ore gon State Bar association. Formulate Recommendations A recent meeting at Gear hart was to formulate the recommendations of various subcommittees. Another meet ing of the interim committee will be sometime after Sept, 1 to draw up the recommen dations into a form present able to the legislative counsel for possible enactment into (tate laws. The integrated court system Is expected, if adopted by the state legislature, to result in large savings through consoli dation of the various courts into circuit and district courts. Main had explained earlier.. All judges would be ap pointed according to the Mis souri plan, the interim com mittee recommends. All judi cial officers would be appoint ed by the governor from list of three persons for each vacancy. Nominations would be my a commission or com mittee consisting of a chief justice, a member of the house of representatives, one mem ber of the state senate, presi dent of the Oregon State Bar association and three of the members would be appointed by the governor, Frank Van Dyke explained. Not more than two mem bers of the same political party and not more than one person from any single judi cial district could be on this committee or commission, the Medford attorney said. . "The voters would still have a chance to kick out any judge or judicial officer," Van Dyke said. "Each judicial of ficer at the end of his term would run on his record." If rejected by the voters the judicial officer's position would be filled by a person appointed by the governor and recommended by the committee or commission, the subcommittee member said. Ask Salary Increase The interim committee also is recommending to the state legislature that judges' sala ries be increased to attract better persons. According to this suggestion, district judges would receive S10.000 a year, circuit judges $15,000 and su preme court justices 518,000. 1 The supreme court would administer the entire state court system, according to the recommendations of the in terim committee. Recommen dations would give the su preme court a right to make rules of civil and criminal pro cedure for all the courts in the state. Various committees would assist the supreme court in this function. Such jurisdiction would extend down through the municipal courts. The supreme court, would also have the right to obtain reports from all courts in the state, according to the recommendations. During the Gearhart ses sion, the interim committee spent considerable time on formulating a juvenile code. This proposes exclusive juris diction of juvenile matters by the juvenile court. .How ever, the circuit ' court judge could enter an order to pro vide that all traffic offenses would be handled by traffic courts and reports on juvenile offenders be given him. -Termination of Rights The proposed juvenile code also provides for termination of all parents rights if a court determines that parents are unfit by conduct or the con ditions in the home are seri ously detrimental to the child. Abandonment of the child also would terminate the rights of some parents over children. Main explained. Such a code would also give the juvenile court the right to require parents or those having physical custody of the child to appear in court with the child. An appointment of an attor ney for juvenile offenders is also allowed. The code also proposes compulsory attend ance of witnesses. What dis position a court can make of a child's case is also specified. Interstate Compact An interstate compact is in cluded in the proposals. This would permit a child on pro bation to the juvenile court to reside in another state, or, a child could be kept in an institution of another state if such facilities are not avail- Application Filed To Withdraw Land Portland Virgil T. Heath, state supervisor of the bureau of land management, has an nounced that the Army Corps of Engineers have filed an ap-' plication to withdraw 139.41 acres of public land in Klam ath county, southwest of Klamath Falls. The land will be used by the Air Force for a naviga tional aid facility. One hun dred acres of the land are re vested Oregon and California Railroad Grant lands, and management and disposal of the timber on this land will remain under the administra tion of the bureau of land The withdrawal will pre clude all appropriation of the land under public land laws, incuding the mining and min eral leasing laws. able in his state. The code also specifically provides for the amount of authority of the institution in case a child is committed. Under the section on juve nile motor vehicle offenses, the code instructs as to the methods of handling the cases in juvenile court if they are handled there. A driver's li cense may be suspended and the offender ordered to at tend traffic school. Transfer of a juvenile of fender between different counties is also provided. Methods by which appeals may be taken on cases also are established. The code provides when the juvenile may be taken into custody by peace officers and what officers are required to do with the child after taking him into custody. No child shall be kept in detention more than 24 hours except on order of the court. Holidays are excepted from this provision. The introduction of electric power has modernized living on remote Pitcairn Island, first colonized by mutineers of the Bounty.
