Olsness Orders
Court Hearing

Insurance Commissioner S. A. Ols-
ness today indicated that he would
refuse to hear the case of Thomas
Berge, Grand Forks, against the Fed
eral Surety company, holding that
the case in question is one for the
courts to decide.
Berge sought to have the federal
company disbarred unless it paid a
liability damage claim disputed by
the company. The case grew out Of
an accident in which team Of
horses was frightened by an auto
mobile driven by Berge's son, who
was not Of age, and the teamster i'm
jured. Delay in filing the claim, the
insurance company contended, made
it impossible for the company to ad-
equately investigate the case or pro-
tect it's interests.

WOULD LET
BAR PICK
NOMINEES
Claim Lawyers Are Better
Qualified to Name Judges

Seattle Up -Contending that the
average layman does not know the
qualifications Of judicial candidates,
the Washington State Bar associa
tion is proposing amendments to
state election laws whereby members
Of the legal profession could indicate
their preferences in candidates for
the bench.
The proposal, which originated at
a recent state convention, would not
interfere with the present method Of
voting, members Of the association
explain. After filings for judgeships
have been made, the lawyers would
take vote on the candidates and
make an endorsement. This recon-
mendation would be printed on the
official ballots under the name of
the approved candidate.
The association believes thousands
Of voters would be guided by the en-
dorsemcnts.
A counter suggestion, proposed by
a local newspaper in a humorous
vein. would exclude lawyers from
voting for judges on the ground Of
pref judice.

The record itself looks not unlike
