Charles Bottjer. co-partner in the firm, with Anthony Boitano, said the site of the land fill operation will be in the White City dump area. In order to carry out the new operation the City Sani tary Service is attempting to negotiate a 10-year exclusive contract with the city of Med ford. Bottjer and Boitano have pointed out that the 10-year contract will be necessary to amortize the estimated S30. 000 cost of new equipment for the land fill operation. Present Contract The present contract with the city expires March 15, 1964, The new contract would repeal the existing one. The Medford city council Thursday night failed to ap prove the suggested exclusive contract, and also an amended "non-exclusive" 10-year con tract. A motion to approve the non-exclusive contract receiv ed a 4 to 3 favorable vote but fell short of the necessary two-thirds approval. City Attorney Joel Reeder pointed out that any item ap pearing before the council for the first time must receive a two-thirds favorable vote to pass. When it appears a sec ond time or more it is neces sary to gain only a majority vote to pass, he said. City Manager Robert Duff said the matter will probably be brought before the council again at their April 21 meet ing.

Drop in YE OLD FASHIONED HOSPITALITY Food Beverage i IS Criminal Law Interim Group Holds Hearing in Medford General aim of Oregon's criminal code is to protect society, yet have an equitable method of prosecution 'of those persons endangering so ciety, according to Sen. Carl Francis, Republican from Yamhill county, and chair man of the interim committee on criminal law, whose com mittee met here Saturday. "We on the interim com mittee are trying to bring many obsolete provisions in tune with modern language and thinking. Much of Ore gon's criminal code was en acted in 1864," the chairman said, "and there have been few basic changes since. Un til this committee was formed nobody had examined the en tire criminal code." In its quest for moderniza tion of the criminal ocde, the committee has met with rep resentatives of the Oregon State Bar association, Oregon District Court Judges associa tion, Oregon Circuit Court Judges association, Oregon Prisons association, Parent Teachers associations, Coun cil of Churches, Knights of Columbus and the Oregon As sociation for the Mentally Re tarded. Fields of Sentencing "The sensitive areas are the fields of sentencing - who determines what happens to a person," Senator Francis said. "The insanity defense rule in Oregon is over 100 years old," he added. "One big question hangs on the rights of the accused prior to trial -whether he has a right to counsel when arrested," Fran cis explained. Three main subcommittees have been appointed. They are substantive law or the philosophy of law, criminal procedure and sentencing, parole and probation. Monroe Sweetland, Clackamas county Democrat, and vice chairman of the committee, heads the latter sub-committee. Obscene literature was mentioned only f leetingly during the committee meeting in tne Jackson county court house, and then only in con nection with another subject. However, the committee neia lengthy hearings on control of obscene literature in Portland. It's a touchy problem since it involves freedom of the press and a moral issue, Francis ex plained. Likely Recommendation One likely committee rec ommendation will be for a standing committee on the criminal code. Senator Sweet land said Saturday following the hearing. "It's Just too broad a subject to cover through an interim commit tee." 'Some defendants feel In certain instances they have received cruel and unjust punishment," James Main, Jackson county circuit judge, told the committee Saturday. A panel of judges should be established for review of sen tences , which defendants might feel are unjust. This is done in Massachusetts, Judge Main said. The current five-year par ole is too short when large amounts of money are re quired for restitution and for sex crimes, the circuit judge stated. He recommended a 10 year parole in such cases. Corporate Liability The committee should check into corporate liability involving manslaughter and negligent homicide, Judge Main recommended. Citing the Roseburg fire and explo sion last summer, Main said, the law docs not allow a cor poration to be indicted for manslaughter. He had presid ed as judge at a hearing at which the explosives man ufacturing company that own ed the truck involved in the FAMILY TIES The mink is a member of the weasel family. for a bit of Ytu'll find a famey atmosphere at Hunt tr't Taverns tinted ...CRATER LM(E HIGHWAY oKcorner llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll fire was charged with man slaughter and was seeking a demurrer. When the new juvenile code was established, the last stale legislature repealed the definition of child delinquent, some judges feel, Judge Muin noted. This tnav h:ivp n,,llin..H cy statute. This term should be redefined by law to apply to contributing to delin quency. C o n s i d erable discussion centered on use of pre-sentence reports. Max L. McMil lin, Josephine county district attorney, agreed with Judge Main that pre-sentence re ports should be used more for mitigation of a sentence ra ther for aggravation of it, if such reports are to remain confidential. If the report is to be used to perhaps increase the sen tence, then the defendant should be allowed to see it, Mam asserted. Judge Muin served on the interim com mittee on judicial administra tion for the last session of slate legislature. Mc M i 1 1 i n recommenripH that the escape statute be re vised to cover cases when a jailer has been assaulted by prisoner attempting to es cape. He cited the recent jail break at Grants Pass when the jailer received a cut on his head requiring 10 stitches. However, the law aniri nothing about an escapee as saulting a jailer to make his own escape unless it is done wiui a aeaaiy weapon. Psychiatric Examination He agreed with Judep Muin that psychiatric examination should be given, generally, to all persons charged with sex crimes. He also recommended a "petty and prior statute" as Laatornla has. Those who have three or four prior con victions for a petty crime such as snopniung, could be rjros- ecuted for a felony instead of a misdemeanor, he suggested. hod Duncan, Medford Dem ocrat and speaker ot th house, questioned a lurin. n.. nig pre-sentence report mate rial for sentencing.

Duncan said tupitul punish ment should be abolished, un equivocally. All reference to capital punishment should be removed from the state con stitution and the penalty for first degree murder should be changed to life imprison ment. Senator Sweetland said the Medford hearing was the last public healing, but that sev eral people would be called in as the committee prepares its report for the Oct. 15 dead- ine for submitting it to the state legislature.
