Increased JBC Participation Predicted as Result of Proposed Conference Reorganization Plan The JBC's Midyear Executive Council Meeting in Chicago on Feb. 16 was the scene of a most important drama, with national implications for she Junior Bar movement. On that occasion, the Special JBC Committee on Reorganization, together with the JBC By-Laws Committee, pre- sented for adoption a Conference reor- ganization plan together with a set of By-Laws to effect this proposal. After debate and with minor changes, the By- Laws were adopted. To become effective in 1958, these By-Laws must be adopted at July's JBC General Session and then approved by the ABA Board of Gover- nors and House of Delegates. The Special Committee comprised Robt. R. Richardson of Atlanta (Chin.), Robt. G. Storey Jr. of Dallas, Win. C. Farrer of Los A.ngeles, F. Win. MeCalpin of St. Louis, Bryce M. Fisher of Cedar Rapids, Arthur M. Lewis of Hartford, and Jas. M. Ballengee of Charleston (W.Va.). On the By-Laws group were The. E. Taulbee of Wilmington (Chm.), Payne H. Ratner Jr. of Wichita; and Jas. M. Ballengee. Considered by the officers as the im- portant development of the current Con- ference year, the JBC Reorganization Plan will, according to Natl. Char. Bill Farrer, increase the scope and effective- ness of the JBC, as well as facilitating ereaer active participation by talented young lawyers around the country. The Special Committee feels that the new set-up, which includes a House of Delegates with State and Local Junior Bar representation (2 delegates from State, D.C., & Territorial groups; 1 rep- resentative per local affiliate), is appro- priate in view of the JBC's large mem- bership increase to 25,000. The House will give Junior Bar delegates a real voice in the JBC's Annual Meeting and will serve as a forum for establishing general Conference policy. While the Executive Council is re- tained, its members will be elected by a caucus of the State Delegates in the particular circuit, with the number of the Council seats remaining at 13 (11 Fed. Jud. Circuits, plus 2 At Large Members allocated to divide the West and South- west area). Organizationally, an at- tempt has been made to effect a balance between the House, which meets an- House of Delegates Acts * The ABA House of Delegates at its recent Midyear Meeting in Chicago indorsed a Citizenship Comm. report (Robt. G. Bolger of Philadelphia, Chmn) urging nation-wide adoption of a pro- gram, initiated by the Fla. Bar, of pres- entation of The Meaning of Com- munism (as speech prepared by that group's Citizenship Comm.) to high school Students. * The House of Delegates also adopted a report of the Spec. Committee on the Impact of Atomic Attack on Legal & Administrative Processes (lirts A. Klagabrunn of Wash., D. C., Chmn). This report recommended the revamping of the Fed. civil defense program so that civilian authority would be in com- mand and military authority severely limited, in the event of an atomic attack. 0 Hawaiian Delegate, J. Garner Anthony, gave the meeting its most electric moment, when he urged the in- mediate adoption of the report, stating that on the basis of personal experience during the Pearl Harbor disaster period, he felt that civilian authority must be maintained in the event of attack and that preparations must be made at once. The time to act is now and not when the bombs drop. * Upon the urging of the Administra- tive Law Section, the House of Delegates went on record as being of the opinion that statutory provisions or adminis- trative action which place arbitrary or unreasonable limitations on fees for legal services to be rendered before adminis- trative agencies, such as those presently applicable to the Veterans Administra- tion, are in practical effect restrictions on the right of a party to an adminis- trative proceeding to be represented by counsel, and are irreconcilable with the public interest. The House then di- rected the Section to advance ap;ropriate legislation to that end. 0 The House of Delegates voted to broaden the name (Secfios of Insurance, Negligence, and Coin penration Law) and functions to include the interests of both defense and plaintiffs' lawyers. nually, and the Council, which meets twice a year, similar to that existing on the ABA Senior Bar Level. Further, some type of rotation in circuit repre- sentation will now be required and will thereby serve to stimulate local interest.
