Rehabilitation of returning veter- ans, particularly with respect to the legal problems they face and the as- sertion of their rights under the GI legislation, will be the principal ob- jective this year of the American Bar Association's Junior Bar Conference. This was announced by Thomas F. Healy, Washington, just appointed by Charles S. Rhyne, Junior Bar chairman, also of this city, as nation- al director for the Conference's Pub- lic Information Program. To Discuss Legislation Plans are under way, said Mr. Healy, to have lawyers discuss var- ious aspects of the GI bill of rights in communities all over the country, and there will be nation-wide radio broadcasts of a round table nature to take up and answer questions about the GI bill. Another objective of the program this year will be to acquaint the pub- lic with major undertakings of the American Bar Association, including its administrative law and traffic court improvement. efforts. Four other objectives are included in the Junior Bar agenda: Educational Efforts 1. To inculcate a deeper under- standing of the democratic way of life and the need for the citizen to fairly exercise his or her rights as a citizen. 2. To bring to the attention of the public the threats to the American way of life, and. the necessity for every citizen to do his or her part to preserve that way of life. 3. To suggest effective outlets for American citizens to express thdir spirit of loyalty to the United States. 4. To co-operate in such manner as may be deemed advisable by the Coun- cil with any agencies promoting the war program and preparing for post- war activities.

Agency Control Urges Law Trained Hearing Officers, Procedure Code and Judicial Review Plan COVERS LICENSING BOARDS Los Angeles. Adoption of a three-point program for regulating and standardizing the procedure of California's administra- tive boards and bureaus was an- nounced by Chief Justice Phil S. Gib- son, chairman of the State Judicial Council. The council acted on the report of a committee that had been studying the problem for over a year at the request of the Legislature. The council's recommendations will be of- fered at the 1945 legislative session. Staff of Hearing Officers The legislation contemplates the substitution of a Department of Ad- ministrative Procedure in state gov- ernment for the present Department of Professional and Vocational Stand- ards. In addition to the duties of the present department the new de- partment will have a continuing re- sponsibility for improving the op- eration of the state's boards and commissions. It will also be required to maintain a staff of trained law- yers as hearing officers. Under the council's legislation these hearing officers will conduct the quasi-judicial proceedings of state agencies, though the full power of decision is to remain in the hands of the boards.

Because of the complexity of the problem the act now proposed does not attempt to solve all administrative problems at this time, but it does cover more than 30 state agencies which have the power to license citizens to engage in certain professions and vocations.
