At the board meetings on the 7th and 10th, considerable time was devoted to disciplinary matters, although much of this part of the agenda had been discussed at a meeting just a few days previous in Portland, September 25 and 26. The next meeting of the board will be in Portland November 19 and 20. At the Salem meeting, the office of the bar was directed to conduct a preferential judicial poll statewide for the Supreme Court, in Yamhill County for the District Court and In Multnomah County for the contested Cir- cuit Court position. Ballots have been mailed to members of the bar. The Great Decisions Council had asked the bar to participate in its program, but the board held they were without authority to do so but referred the request to the Commit- (Continued on Page 3, Column 2) BAR CONVENTION MARKS LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM 30 YEARS OF ACTIVITY OUTLINED BY REPORTS More than 1050 members of the Oregon bar registered for the 30th annual meeting at Salem October 7 to 10, and more than 900 actually attended, according to the report of the state bar office. A list of registrants ap- pears in this issue of the Bulletin. Early arrivals joined in the President's Re- ception Wednesday night with the first busi- ness session getting under way at 9:00 A.M. Thursday morning. President Hale G. Thomp- son, Eugene, called the meeting to order and J. Ray Rhoten, Salem, the bar's vice-presi- dent, presided. George H. Layman, Newberg, was parliamentarian. Dr. G. Herbert Smith, president of Willam- ette University, gave the invocation and a welcome was extended by Willard Marshall, mayor of Salem. The financial report of Manley Strayer, Portland, treasurer, was included in the print- ed reports distributed to all members of the bar and was filed with the report of the sec- retary, John H. Holloway. Wendell Wyatt, Astoria, state bar delegate to the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association, gave his report and commented upon some major considerations of the ABA, although he was not able to attend the annual meet- ing this summer in New York City. Chief Justice William H. McAllister of the Supreme Court gave his report, one part of which was devoted to the work of the Su- preme Court itself and the other to the dockets and affairs of the trial courts. Both were reported in good shape with the Su- preme Court continuing its exceptional rec- ord of hearing cases within one month from the time they are at issue and that the dock- ets of most of the trial courts were quite up to date. Justice McAllister noted an increase in the case load of the courts and indicated that the problem of continuing the present fine record would be a problem if the upward spiral continued. The best standard by which to measure the condition of the docket of a trial court is the length of time elapsing from the filing (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) JUDICIAL PREFERENTIAL POLL RESULTS October 23, 1964 SUPREME COURT* Ballots sent-2578 1 2 Ralph M.
