Judge Hits Paper's Stand LEBANON A letter from Van R.

Thome, judge of municipal court No. 1, asking the city council to investigate editorials in a local newspaper took up much of that body's ume during their regular meeting Tuesday night. In his letter. Thome said that the editorials have charged him with making errors in disposition of local court cases and have cast "doubt on my integrity."

In his prepared statement, McNamara promised that the Defense Department will launch a new program to alert the armed services to the dangers of world Communism. But he declared that military leaders have no right to use their official positions to advance their private partisan views on foreign or domestic issues.

Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton filed this 1962 ballot title with the secretary of state: "Clinical laboratory personnel licensing law. Purpose: "Requires licensing of clinical laboratory, trainees, technologists, establishes technibasic standards, fixes license fees, creates supervisory board and appropriates money for ating expenses." Robert Brooks of Physicians' Medical Lab here, is head of the group sponsoring the petitions.

He said the Oregon State Society of American Medical Technologists started a move for a vote of the people after lab technician licensing measures failed repeatedly to gain state legislature approval. While persons in many trades must now bevel licensed. no such provisions been made for lab personnel in Oregon, Brooks said.

McNamara said he believes such things happened during the Korean War "because we did not stress with sufficient force and vigor the realities of freedom and Communism." Largely on the basis of McNamara's answers, the committee will decide whether to launch an investigation into the complex dispute. It all began when Sen. J. WilFulbright, chairman the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent McNamara a private memorandum. The note voiced concern about public meetings organized and sponsored by military officials which Fulbright said featured "extremely, radical Rightwing attacked for.

eign and domestic policies of the Kennedy administration. Fulbright said he did not ques. tion their right to express such views. But he saw "considerable danger" in allowing the military to abandon its traditional non-politic role and try to "propagandize the things on which a person's life might depend. Sometimes a person's life or death hangs in the balance on the lab work to be performed certainly they should be licensed." Several attempts have been made for legislation on lab personnel licensing, Brooks said.

but it has always died in committee. Politics and economic figured in blocking the measure since it was first introduced in 1939, and later about 1945, and again in 1957 and 1959, according to Brooks. "Some people on the street are absolutely amazed when they learn lab technicians are not li- censed. One said in some states even manicurists must be licensed. Several states, including California, New York.

New Jersey, Hawaii, and Florida, have lab technician licensing laws already, and Brooks said there are others. He noted that a license is required for marriage and prenatal tests, but these are just a narrow portion of the tests labs handle. Brooks said members of the technologist organization will circulate the petition in all counties for all registered voters who wish to see the licensing provision come to a vote of the people.
