1934 and also served as na
tional vice commander of the
legion.
Warner appointed Dcnecke
as a circuit court pro tern
judge during Warner's term
as Chief Justice from 1955 to
1957.
Warner is an advocate of
the pro tern judge system
which has developed during
his tenure in the high court.
This allows circuit court
judges to be assigned to help
the supreme court clear its
case load, and lower court
judges to be moved from
place to place as needed.
Also, attorneys can be as
signed circuit court pro tern
judges to help clear dockets.
He also favors the law
clerk system used by the h'.Rh
court where law school grad
uates work with a justice in
researching cases.
Among Warner's clerks
have been attorneys George
Van Hoomissen who is now
Multnomah County District
Attorney, and Robert Pack
wood, a member of the 1963
House of Representatives
from Portland.

Get Green Light
Washington - (UPD - Acting
Commerce Secretary Edward

quest to permit four com

the Pacific Coast to Puerto'

eign flag vessels was from

Medford Policy Draws Praise In Talk
Portland -flJPD- The Leeis-
lative Interim Committee on
Local Government has recom
mended legislation that will
give local units of government
one more chance to cooper
ate," State Rep. Edward Whe-
lan (D-Portland) said Friday.
In a speech to the City club
here, the committee chairman
said local taxing districts have
grown into an almost intoler
able hodge-podge. He said city
dwellers, especially in Port
land, are paying an unfair
share of service costs in fringe
areas.
Medford has taken the right
course by refusing to provide
any services outside the city
limits, Whelan contended. 1
One proposed lnw would
prohibit incorporation of any
new cities within six miles of
present city of 5,000 or more
people and within three miles
of a smaller incorporated city.
Whelan said such a law would
prevent the device of incor-
porating to escape annexation.
