()(c'T(I iM, 19-t2 No. I OREGON BAR HEARS £awleu in Lnilotr KRAUSE HEADS BAR WAR ISSUES TALKED o L qhme lo'ceg OF STATE FOR YEAR More than 30O lawyers of the state at- tended the eigth annual meeting of the Ore- gon State bar at Eugene last month where they heard legal problems arising from the war effort discussed and argued 12 committee reports, some of them provoking considerable debate, and were entertained at the end of the long business sessions by members of the Lane county bar. The business sessions of the convention were well attended and the members stayed with it until the arguments were over on the various reports and resolutions. The fact that the reports were printed in adi- vance proved to be an advantage because tne convention members were familiar with the recommendations ahead of the actual sessions. The invocation was given by Dr. Norman K. Tully, while the address of welcome was oelivered by Gordon A. Rainstead, president of the Lane county bar. The report of Secretary F. M. Sercombe showed that large numbers of lawyers are being called into the military services and that probably more than one third of the membership will be in the armed forces before January 1, next year. The financial statement of the state bar was given by Treasurer Arthur H. Lewis. One of the outstanding events of the con- vention was the address of Dean Wayne L. Morse of the University of Oregon law school, now a member of the national labor relations hoard, in which he contended that there is practically no limit to the power of the board in war time because it stems from the president, whose powers under the constitution, he said, are such that the rresident can take almost any necessary step to protect and preserve that constitu- tion.

Ile paid tri- bute to the yeomnan service given to the country by Dean Morse in his service on the war labor board and declared that it is the duty of the boerd to assess in some mea- sure the sacrifices to be required of the civilian population so that they will euqal in some measure the sacrifices being made by the fighting forces of this country in all parts of the world. He said that the work of the board is of interest to everyone, that it affects all of the civiilan life of the coun- try and that Dean Morse is one of Oregon's most outstanding and useful citizens.

Watson, of the (Continued on Page 2, Column 3) Nearly 200 lawyers of the state are now in the armed forces of the United States, according to information gathered by F. M. Sercombe, secretary of the Oregon State bar and Oscar Furuset of the committee of the Multnomah bar which has been work- ing on the subject. This list of attorneys now in active serv- ice for their country is, of course, just a starter and before the end of the year many more will he wearing the uniform.

K. McMahan, who has served the past year. Ierbcrt P. Welch of Lakeview was elect- (d vice-president. Arthur H. Lewis of Portland, who has been treasurer since 1935, was re-elected and F. M.

Van Winkle, follow- ing discussion as to whether a cir-uit judge had the right to be a member of the board and whether this was dual office probibited by law or in contravention of the oath of office taken by the circuit judge. George William Neuner, assistant attor- ney general, after holding that a position as a member of the board of governors is not incompatible with the duties of circuit judge, declared: The conclusion that a circuit judge of this state is eligible to serve as a member of the board of governors is confirmed as a matter of contemporaneous construction placed upon the bar act by the members of the bar.
