MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Oregon Supreme Court Decisions Saleni-ilim-The Oregon Su preme Court Monday in a ruh of year-end decisions per manently disbarred two at torneys, reversed one lower c0Urt decision, reversed and remanded three others, and affirmed nine lower court rulings. Permanently disbarred were Cecil William Dobson, former Salem attorney, and Harry W. Matthews, former Newport attorney. Dobson had been convicted of larceny by embezzlement, and was suspended from the practice of law at the time of his conviction. Permanent disbarment action was taken upon recommendation of the board of governors of the Ore gon Stale Bar. Matthews had been con- vicled in Lincoln county of drawing a check without suf ficient funds and also of the crime of larceny by embezzle ment. He did not contest the debarment proceedings. Decisions Affirmed Three of the high court de cisions affirmed lower court actions involving appeals by Chester Raymond Hedrick of Portland. One upheld an order by Multnomah : County Circuit Judge Paul R. Harris denying lledrick's motion to dismiss another of the indictments brought against him on a charge of assault with intent to commit rape. Since the actual trial was stayed pend ing this appeal, the matter will now go back for trial. Another upheld lledrick's conviction on a charge of rape for which he was sen tenced to a term not exceed ing 20 years by Multnomah County Circuit Judge James W. Crawford. The court had overruled Hcdrick's claim of misconduct by the district at torney in prosecuting the case. The thii d decision involved lledrick's pica of guilty and sentencing to 20 years in pris on on a charge of assault with intent to commit rape. Sen tence was made by Circuit Court Judge Charles V. Redding. Hedrick had at tempted to prove the court er red in sentencing him. Clackamas Verdict Reversed The high court reversed a verdict of Clackamas County Circuit Judge Howard J. Blanding in an action on a workman's compensation claim. Walter Whitlock, a member of the Future Farmers of America club at Sandy, con tracted lead poisoning while engaged in painting the sum mit house at Government Camp. Whitlock did not get paid for the work, as the money earned was to raise a fund. The high court declared Whit lock was an employee, and entitled to benefits of Ihe Wo r k m e n' s Compensation Act. Reversed and remanded to Washington County Circuit Judge J. S. Bohannon for ac tion was a suit to set aside transfer of assets and impress a trust on the proceeds of the sale. The action involved Oreen Brownson, a creditor of Loren Lewis, who sold a portion of his business to Ed ward L. Brunnell. Kelly Reversed Reversed and remanded for now trial was a decision from Jackson Circuit Judge Edward C. Kelly in a person al injury action involving Patricia McBcc and Hugh Robert Knight, driver of the vehicle. Also reversed and remand ed for further proceedings was a ruling by Marion Coun ty Circuit Judge Pro Tern E. O. Stadter Jr., involving the purchase of a motel at De troit, Ore. A. L. and Rosemary Bar ker appealed a ruling by Judge Stadter which canceled the sale to Donald G. and Nancy K. Miller after the pureh isers stopped payment on the purchase contract and gave up the property, al leging the sellers had misrep resented the condition of the property and past income. These actions were affirm ed by tthe high court: - Decision from Multno mah County Circuit Judge Herbert M. Schwab on action brought by the stale labor commissioner on an assigned claim for wages due against Arthur and Veda Johnston. Conviction Affirmed - The conviction of Roy Wilkins Cole of Portland in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Ralph M. Holman, Judge, on a charge of utter ing and publishing a forged check. - The conviction of Wil liam Woodman Hayncs of Portland on a charge of bur glary in Multnomah County Circuit Court before Judge Dean M.

The recommendation was contained in a report issued by the council. The court said cases involv ing families are now dispersed "among five separate and in dependent courts on a hodge podge and overlapping basis." Cases involving children and parents may go to municipal, justice, county, district or cir cuit courts. The report said a related problem is the lack of skilled staff workers, psychiatric help, and other qualified to deal with and treat family problems. The council said the first step toward an overhaul of Oregon's court services to fam ilies should be a study "by an objective, technically qual ified organization, preferably from outside the state." The report said the study should be made for the legis lature, and should include an outline of a feasible court structure that would provide a unified approach to family matters. The council said the study also should include rec ommendations for the "diag nostic and treatment lools" that courts should be able to call on in dealing with families. Singe Nightclub Owners Divided on Effect Of IRS Crackdown Editor'! note - Ths gov ernment'! crackdown on ex pense account spending has been ci'ed as the reason for the closing of two Holly wood restaurants. Restau rant and night club owners in other ciliei are divided as lo how much the new laws will hurt them. United Press International polled owners oi the nation's high est priced night spots on whether the era of the big lime spender is coming io an end. er f rankle Avalon Tells Wedding Plans Hollywood - IUPII - Singer Frankic Avalon, 22, has an nounced plans to marry model Kay Diebcl, a former Miss Rhinegold contestant, in June. Avalon, currently appear ing at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, New, said Monday he and his 24-year-old bride-to-be became engaged Sunday night at a party attended by his parents, Dick and Mary Aval lone of Philadelphia. By GENE BLUDEAU UPI Correspondent When "Prince Mike" Ro manoff closes his Hollywood restaurant today many night club owners in other cities will be mourning with him. Like the bogus prince, they fear the government's new lax policies may be the last nail in the coffin of the big time expense account spender. Romanoff summed it up Dec. 19 by announcing that after 12 years he was locking Ihe door on his restaurant be cause "costs arc prohibitive and with the new lax condi tions it makes it completely impossible." Restaurant and supper club owners in some cities scoffed at Romanoff's self-proclaimed woes. Most expected govern ment requirements for strict accounting of expense account splurging would have some effect. But the dissenters said they were doing fine and ex pected to keep it up. Toots Shor. prominent New York saloon keeper, summed up this view: "It's like an athlete. When you got it, you're there. When you're out, you're out." Side With Prince Others, particularly in the West and in Florida, were in the Romanolf camp. One, ex- movie comedian Ben Blue, beat the prince to the punch. Blue moaned the passing of his live-it-up and charge-it-up clientele as he closed his San ta Monica, Calif., supper club Dec. 17. The poker-faced comedian said an analysis of patronage during the past three months revealed "a conspicuous ab sence of credit card and charge account patrons." "It's going to be a slow dollar from now on for the night clubs," Blue said. Dave Chascn, owner oi' an other Hollywood restaurant, said the restriction on ex pense account entertainment "hurls all around ... it was a stupid thing for the govern ment to do." To take up Ihe slack, Chas cn suggested that business men be allowed to bring their wives along on across - the table business deals. "Some times the wife is the greatest asset." he said. Outlook Gloomy Miami hotel owners also re ported a gloomy outlook for 19(13 and blamed a growing scarcity of credit card bon vivants. "The crackdown on ex pense accounts has hurt us Dennis the Menace . noticeably because when peo ple know they will have to ac I count for their spending, they don't spend so much," said the manager of the American Hotel. Sun Francisco restaurants reported expense account spending down from 5 to 10 per cent and hotels said a similar tailing off was show ing up in rentals. Operators of swank restau rants in Washington, DC, agreed with Romanoff that new tax laws have affected business. Most outspoken was Mrs. Jean Martin, who man ages the Espionage and Rue Royal restaurants in George town. She said, "I'm getting worried to death." In Denver, managers of the five plushiest oaling spots said they could feel the law pinch. Peter Delias of ihe Plus Horse restaurant said Ihe evening trade has been affected "and I'm concerned about it as is everybody." Blame Business Drop In New York and Chicago, restaurant owners were in clined lo pooh-pooh the Ro manoff cry of woe. They blamed declining business, not tax laws, for the closing of the prince's restaurant. Robert Kricndler, president of New York's 21 Club, said the new law "will definitely have some effect but 1 cer tainly am not in a state of panic. To turn in panic and say that it will force rest aurants to close down is just as ridiculous as to say it will have no effect." Fred Clare, manager of the Hotel Ambassador w h i c h 1 houses Chicago's Pump Room, said he disagreed with Ro- I manoff "100 per cent . . . our ' figures here show that only 5 I per cent of night club and ! restaurant customers charge j it. ihe otner 93 per cent are using their own money." Co-owner George Marion IJial of Chicago's London ; House and Mister Kelly's said Romanoff was way off base. "We're doing as well as ever," he said. And in Boston, Edward Davis, manager of Ihe Execu tive Suite, reported things rolling along at the same pace. "As for the big spenders, I haven't seen any since the speakeasy days," he said. r YA BAKE A CAKE OK WK61KW0AV! YA BAKE A CAKE ON VAGS eiRlWAY.' Y&U COULD LEAST SAKE RJFFA CUPCAKE'.
