MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
Texas Hotel Suggested as Courtroom
To Cut Down on Cost of Trappings
t, v -
Br DICK WEST
Washington-aiTO-It may be
that Rep. John J. Rooney (D
N.Y.) wai just pulling the
Judge'! leg
when he sug
gested holding
court in the
b 1 lroom of
the Shamrock
Hotel in Hous
ton, Tex.
But I'm in
clined to think
that Rooney's
little jest
might be worthy of serious
consideration.
' If the U.S. government be
gan dispensing justice in the
Shamrock's ballroom, then we
taxpayers wouldn't have to
buy all those $30 wastebaskets
for federal courtrooms in
Houston.
This would save us $1,380
on courtroom trash containers,
and with that amount of mon
ey we could have ourselves a
ball. -
Discuss Expansive Trappings
The subject of the $30 waste
baskets, and other expensive
courtroom trappings, came up
as Rooney, chairman of a
House appropriations subcom
mittee, was conducting hear
ings on the federal judiciary
budget for fiscal 1962.
Among the first witnesses
were Judges Webster J. Oliv
er and Scovel Richardson of
the U.S. Customs Court. Their
budget included $11,800 to
buy furniture for a court
room in the new federal build
ing In Houston.
"This seems like a pretty
expensive proposition, $11,'
800 to furnish a room in Hous'
ton, Tex." Rooney comment
ed. "For how long has a judge
sat in Houston, Tex., in the
past fiscal year?'
It developed that the Cus
toms Court was in session In
Houston for four or five days
during the year. .
"The taxpayers would save
money if you rented the ball
room In the Shamrock Hotel
to hold court," said Rooney.
Wanf Own Courtroom ;
Oliver explained the Cus
toms Court wanted "to have
its own courtroom because Its
judges often had difficulty ar
ranging to borrow a court
room as they traveled about
the circuit. ; VUjr
. This explanatln, . however,
apparently did not satisfy
Rep. Elford A. Cederberg (R-
Mlch.) who said "the strange
thing is, a check of the rec-
ordB will Indicate there are
more courtrooms than there
a complete listing of all the
courtroom furniture planned
for new federal buildings not
only in Houston but In several
other cities. This was where
I ran across the $30 waste
baskets. , I
..Present plans call for the
installation of 46 of them in
the building at Houston. This
presumably will keep, people
from dropping paper on $61,
800 worth, of new rugs and
carpets.
Equipped With TV
However, the judges who
occupy chambers in the new
federal building in Sacramen
to, Calif., will have to make
do with $10 wastebaskets
Court clerks and jurors will
drop their trash In containers
costing a mere $2.26 or $3.13.
For the ultimate In court
room comfort, however,
commend to your attention
the new federal office build'
ing in Brooklyn,, N.Y. Plans
there call for the witness and
jury rooms to be equipped
with two television sets cost
ing a total of $635.
Times obviously have
changed a lot since I used to
cover the courts. On the list
of new furniture I failed to
find a single spittoon.
Car's Ride Is Clue to
Condition of Its Tires
The ride a car gives can be
a clue to the condition of its
tires, Chief of Police Charles
P. Champlln has reminded
area motorists. '.-
The chief reminded drivers
that it's never wise to take
tires for granted. Good tires,
are federal judges."
, . Later on, Rooney called for.
Automobile Mishaps
Reported to Police
Four , automobile accidents
were reported to Medford
city police Tuesday. No injur
ies were reported,
' A vehicle operated by
Madge Fletcher West, 44, of
1840 Thomas rd., struck
traffic sign at the intersection
of Eighth st. and Oakdale ave,
Tuesday morning, according
to police,
Shortly after noon, cars op-
erated by Ruth Ellen Hall, 48.
of 255 DeBarr ave., and Rob
ert Oliver Shute, 23, of route
2, box 572, Central Point, col
lided at the , intersection of
Highways 89 and 62. Shute
was cited by police for fol
lowing too close.
Another accident occurred
at the intersection of Ninth
st. and Central ave. when au
tomobiles operated by Bea
trice Burl Dixon, 50, of 753
Marshall ave., and Myrtle
Marie Padrta, 47, of 1955 Ash
land St., Ashland, collided. No
Citations were issued, police
said.
About 6:3Q p.m.. another
two-vehicle accident was re
ported. It was at the inter
section of Monroe and J sts.
Drivers were Edward Ronald
Rice, 54, of 215 Saginaw dr.,
and Nancy Maurece Llnlnger,
18, of 240 Skycrest ave., Ash.
he said, are ' essential for
safety. '
Tires out-of-balance, impro
perly aligned, unequally in
flated, under-inflated or with
a poor tread are easily spot
ted by drivers, If they will
take the time to check the
car's ride, he said.
For example, he said. If
car has a persistent tendency
to pull to one side on a level
road, it is a sign of improper
front end alignment. Less
often, it may be attributed to
unequally inflated ' tires.
Champlln reminded drivers
that while tires have im
proved greatly " in recent
years, : some form of tire
trouble still is involved ' in
many calls for aid from mo
torists. In fact, a recent auto
club study showed It ranked
as the number two cause for
calls for help in 1960.
While time trouble usually
Is ' easily handled in town,
such Is not the case on the
open road, the chief pointed
out, adding that poor tires are
more likely to cause trouble
on the open highway because
that is where tires . take a
beating, because of higher
rates, of speed.
Featherless Parakeet
Isn't Embarrassed '
Memphis, Term - RIPD - Mrs.
Albert Bettey's parakeet is
different from other birds. It
doesn't have any feathers.
The eight year old para
keet was born that way.
The bird has only a few
small feathers here and there,
and can't fly, but Mrs., Bet-
