BOARD FAVORS HIGHER JUDICIAL SALARIES The Board of Governors of the State Bar Association, at its meeting in Olym- pia on January 19, went on record as favor- ing annual salaries of $18,000 for Supreme Court judges and $15,000 for Superior Court judges. The board directed the Legislative Committee to prepare an ap- propriate bill for submission to the Legis- lature. The increased salary scale, if adopted, cannot affect the salary of any incumbent judge during his present term. The higher salaries suggested were ar- rived at after considering the recent re- port of the Judicial Council on the subject of the salaries of judges (Thirteenth Re- port of the Judicial Council, 1953, pp. 15- 20). The action is in line with the reso- lution adopted by the Bar Association at the last annual meeting in Tacoma in September. WALLA WALLA REPORT Carlton G. Conkey, a 1951 law grad- uate of the University of Washington, is opening offces at 207 Drumheller Build- ing, Walla Walla, for the general practice of law. Carlton is a nephew of Thomas P. Gose, prominent Walla Walla attorney, has been with the Corps of Engineers in the rea, estate division, Walla Walla Dis- trict, for the past year and a half and did his undergraduate work at the University. He is married and has one child. At its December 30 luncheon, the Walla Walla County Bar Association endorsed a proposal to be submitted to the legis- lature to increase salaries of Superior Court judges to $12,000 and Supreme Court judges to $15,000. The bar also authorized President Carl L. Johnson to appoint a committee to study proposed changes in Walla Walla County Superior Court rules pertaining to the appraisal of estates. -AnrTun L. HAWMAN. SKAGIT COUNTY NEWS By the time this item is published, Judge W. L. Brickey will have retired after sixteen years upon the bench. Judge Charles S. Stafford, Jr., assumed his duties on January 13. Harry Follman has been appointed justice of the peace for Mount Vernon Precinct and police judgb of the city of Mount Vernon, replacing Walter J. Deier- liein, Jr., who resigned to become deputy prosecuting attorney. The attorneys of Skagit County were guests of Alfred McBee and Warren J. Gilbert at a New Year's reception held at the home of Mr. Gilbert. -HARWOOD BANNISTER. CHELAN COUNTY NEWS J. A. Adams, recently elected to the bench of this county, took his oath of office on January 12, in a courtroom packed with members of the bar and other well- wishers. Retiring Judge Fred Kemp, com- pleting his twelve-year tenure, admin- istered the oath to Judge Adams and wished him all success; the latter re- sponded with a pledge to attain the com- petency and zealousness of Judge Kemp. The Chelan County Bar Association honored both judges the same evening at a banquet held at the Wenatchee Golf and County Club; dinner was preceded by a refreshing social hour. Guest of honor and main speaker of the evening was Judge Sam Driver of the Federal District Court, Spokane, who was as- sociated in private practice in Wenatchee with Judge Adams from 1927 to 1937. The bar association presented Judge Kemp with a fishing rod and reel, with the admonition 4' at members of the as- sociation would now demand actual proof as to the fishing skill of the former judge, rather than the hearsay evidence that had been presented in the past. The enjoyable evening was concluded by association president D. A. Shiner's presenting the gavel to president-elect Fred M. Crollard. Other officers for the coming year are Robert E. Connor, vice- president, and Edward Engst, secretary- treasurer. Other news from this county is the ap- pointment of James Arneil as city attor- ney to succeed Jud'pp Adams, and R. D. Kendall as court commissioner to succeeLC Fred M. Crollard. Jon Phelps, deputy prosecutor for the past two years, has entered private practice in Wenatchee. -IIMEn A. CROLLARD.
