*477FORT, J.,
specially concurring.
I concur with the court’s holding that it was reversible error for the trial court, over the objection of both counsel, to have sent the dictionary to the jury room during the jury’s deliberations.
Based in part upon my dissent in State v. Florance, 15 Or App 118, 515 P2d 195 (1973), Sup Ct review allowed (1974), and in part because I do not consider it necessary to reach the other issues discussed in the court’s opinion, I decline to join therein. Since State v. Florance, supra, is now on review before the Supreme Court it seems to me to be inappropriate to speculate upon what the action of the Supreme Court therein may be.
