Interim Group Suggests Agency
To Review Existing Regulations
Some type of agency should
be established to make a sys
tematic review of existing
laws and prepare and submit
recommendations to the leg
Islature for revision, accord
ing to one of the suggestions
set forth during a recent meet
ing of the legislative interim
committee on judicial admin
istration
James Main, Jackson coun
ty district court judge and
chairman of the subcommit
tee on trial courts, said the
committee feels the agency
would be of greater benefit
than creation of an Interim
committee from time to time
The latter type of group
spends considerable time in
organizing and recruiting, he
explained. 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-

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.
