Capitol Memo New Supreme Court Justice Experienced In Several Fields By DOUGLAS GRIPP Salem - (UPD - Cowboy, mill worker, newspaperman, law yer, circuit judge. This is the path followed by Oregon's newest and young est Supreme Court justice, Al fred T. (Ted) Goodwin. Goodwin, 36, tapped for the high court last week by Gov. Mark Hatfield, is as much at home today in somber black robes as he was at breaking horses 20 years ago in Crook county. He rolled his own cig arettes and to this day wears suspenders. The crew-cut justice still shaves with a straight razor, a technique he picked up dur ing World War II. Newspaper Wriler Goodwin wrote general news and politics for the Eu gene Register-Guard in 1946 while completing his journal ism degree at the University of Oregon. Summers were spent back on the ranches of his youth or at a sawmill in Sprinffield. He worked full time for the paper after grad uation nd became its city edi tor before entering law school in 1948. Goodwin was in private law practice and just 31 when Gov. Paul Patterson appoint ed him Lane county circuit judge. His reputation as a brilliant legal mind and his circuit record prompted Hatfield to elevate him still further. Sup porters say he may sit on the U. S. Supreme court bench eventually. But he's still a simple man, and says he still rolls his own -at rodeo time. Parking Saga Ends Speaking of justices, a spe cial parking saga involving them has ended in Salem. Some time ago, the space reserved on state land for Oregon Supreme Court mem bers to park their cars was torn up by construction. The jurists then found problems finding parking spots on the street nearby. The state appealed to the city and city officials respond ed by establishing temporary reserved parking slots to the side of the Supreme Court building for the duration of the construction. A number of persons ignor ed the justice-only signs and cars were towed away or ticketed. The construction work is over and the signs came down this week. With it also came an admonition from District Judge E. O. Stadter Jr. that the reserved parking was probably illegal all the while. Many Republicans Said Not Interested In Civil Rights By YVONVE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington - Congressman Charles O. Porter contends that many Republicans are not interested in the civil rights issue, and Rep. Walter N o r b 1 a d, in reply to the charge, said it is the truth. "One of the Republicans told me that it was conscious party policy to show that the Democrats couldn't pass civil rights legislation," charged Porter last week. "If we had their votes we could get any vote through." . .... He further charged that the zeal Republican publicly dis play for civil rights was just a political "gimmick',' and that in reality the Republican con gressmen, excepting a sincere few, were indifferent to a bill. Congressman Norblad, Ore gon's only Republican, didn't challenge the contention. "I never saw so much indif ference in the Republican cloakroom over a bill before. Most men couldn't care less," Norblad said. "It isn't an issue in my dis trict," he continued."We only have a handful of Negroes. Nobody writes me. I haven't got one letter on this, and Congress has been working on it five weeks. When asked if there was tryth in Porter's charge that the coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats was blocking an effective bill, and endangering passage of any civil rights bill at all, Norblad said, "It is possible that there is some of this." Porter will be satisfied if a civil rights bill, strengthening the voting rights of Negroes, if passed. " "Even "this is quite a revo lutionary step. I will feel good if we pass a good registrar plan. We now have national attention focused on the prob lem. If the legislation proves cumbersome and doesn't work well, we can put some more teeth in it right away. Time is running out," Porter said. "The referee or registrar plan may be revolutionary, but it isn't as though there will be a great change over night. These people aren't ready to spring into action down there and flood the poll ing places." he continued. 'I was glad to see the young people taking action with their sit down strikes. They have to help themselves. Fun damentally, we don't have to help the Negro as much as he has to help himself." Porter went on. "A lot of people think progress is being made - very slowly - but we are defining the problem - talk ing about it. Heretofore the South has had an advantage because the issue wasn't as discussed as it is now." When asked if there was any truth that Northern Dem ocrats might be also giving lip service to the civil rights issue. Porter replied: "Well, we have our prob lem in the North; but the dif ference is that we are asham ed of it, and are trying to do something about it. Whereas r-e Southerners defend it as 1 "tpir wav of life. In Oregon - have FEPC laws. Negroes - a'lowed to eat in restaur- r Is; public housing is inte- j,rrtd ard so on." "The ones who are really i pushing civil rights are the Northern and Western Demo crats, because it is funda mental to our beliefs. Un fortunately, we do not have control in our party councils. We are in the majority, but our party leaders decree that we never meet because the Southern leaders never want the civil rights issue discuss ed. 'It will tear the party apart' they say." Rep. Edith Green is opti mistic that a civil rights bill will be enacted. "I do . think we are closer this year to a meaningful civil rights bill than ever before. There is reason to be more optimistic than in times past," she said. "The voting rights section of the civil rights bill before us is to me the most important part of the whole civil rights proposal. If everyone had a right to vote, then the other injustices that occur in a giv en area should be eliminated. Any improvement in other areas would be temporary un less you have the right to elect state representatives who will truly be speaking in your be half. I want as strong a bill as we can get," Mrs. Green said.

Pitts, son of Mrs..Estelle Pitts and a brother of Mrs. Jack C. Pet terson, both of Gold Hill, was quoted in a recent UPI news story concerning the sub marine scare off the Argen tine coast last month. Capt.
