kEFCTBTTC 1fJLlDOG Plan studied for 2nd Juvenile Court Judge Tang has some backlog now and he really doesn't have the time to devote to all of his responsibilities. You have to remember that he is called upon to do a lot of things outside his courtroom and must answer those requests. "In Tucson," Debus said, "one judge is kept very, very busy with about one third the amount of work we have here. I think Judge Tang could use the help." JUDGE HARDY said the system recommended by Judge Tang would work like this: The Maricopa County judges, who now vote to determine who will be the Juvenile Court judge for a one-year term, would elect an assistant judge to the juvenile bench in January. This is six months before Judge Tany's present term expires.

The one-year term for the Juvenile Court judge would remain the same, but the Juvenile Court judge would also serve two, six-month stints as assistant Juvenile Court judge. The second man elected to the Juvenile Court in January would become Judge Tang's assistant until June. Then he would become the Juvenile Court judge for one year and Judge Tang would act as his assistant from June until January 1970. IN JANUARY 1970, another judge would be elected to the bench as as assistant judge and the rotation would continue. Other judges, questioned by The Arizona Republic, indicated they would favor such a system.

The assignment of the second judge would probably have to be approved by the Arizona Supreme Court before it could go into effect, one of the judges said. A judges' committee has been appointed to study the possibility of assigning a second judge to the Maricopa County Juvenile Court, The Arizona Republic learned yesterday. Superior Court Judge Charles L. Hardy confirmed he lias been named chairman of the group appointed last Thursday by Presiding Judge Fred J. Hyder.

He said the group will "investigate and determine whether additional judicial manpower is required for the Juvenile Court." "THIS COULD mean additional judges, probation officers or referees," he said. But Judge Hardy said the committee would look very closely at a suggestion by Juvenile Court Judge Thomas Tang that a second judge be named to the Juvenile Court. The second judge would act as an assistant Juvenile Court judge. Judge Tang and Judges William A. Holohan, Warren L.

McCarthy and Kenneth C. Chatwin are the other members of his committee, Hardy said. Judge Tang was authorized yesterday during a closed meeting of the board of supervisors to hire another Juvenile Court referee. The salary of the two present referees was raised. REFEREE CHARLES Cammarata's pay was raised from $834 to $965 per month and Referee Robert Yount was given an increase from $685 per month to $875.

Larry Debus, attorney in charge of the county attorney's new juvenile prosecution division, said he hopes the judges' committee will recommend the second judge for the Juvenile Court. "I think it would speed up the process," Debus said.

BOICE JR.

A group of second graders in Glendale would like to blast off tomorrow with the three man crew of Apollo 7 on its scheduled 11-day journey into space. But the 29 members of Mrs. Betty Landon's class at Manzanita Elementary School will have to be content with Don Dedera Bish's demonstration calls for language Supreme Court, Debus said, contends that "double jeopardy does not exist in the Juvenile Court." He said the writ will ask the high court to examine the Juvenile Court record and determine whether Tang's double jeopardy ruling was correct. If not, the charges stemming from the slaying will have to be tried, Debus said. Debus said that the Arizona Juvenile Code states that Juvenile Court proceedings would not be conducted as criminal trials, "therefore there cannot be any double jeopardy." Debus also cited several cases decided by other appeals courts which hold that double jeopardy does not exist in juvenile courts.

The county's new juvenile prosecution division will ask the Arizona Supreme Court to force Judge Thomas Tang to try three teen-agers against whom Tang twice dismissed murder charges, The Arizona Republic learned yesterday. Larry Debus, attorney in charge of the section, sair a writ of certiorari would be filed with the high court by the end of next week. The youths, Donald Gene Mitchell, 13; his brother, Anthony, 14, and Ray Jones, 14, were detained for a short period of time at the County Detention Home but are now free. A fourth youth, Fred Thompson, 14, was sentenced to Ft. Grant for violation of a previous probation on a car theft charge.

The four youths were accused of the golf-club slaying April 8 of Frank Edward Blair, 62, a Phoenix handyman. Original charges against the youths were dismissed by Tang when a witness, who told police she saw the four beat Blair to death with a golf club, failed to appear in court. After the county received permission from Judge William Holohan to refile the charges, Tang dismissed them once again on the ground of double jeopardy. Holohan was acting as Juvenile Court judge for the vacationing Tang when the permission was granted for the refiling. The petition to be presented to the SOME YEARS ago down at Florence during a public goodwill day Bish White was piloting a small airplane in an unusual mission.

At a National Guard air show all the important townspeople were crowded into a grandstand. Bish's orders called for a demonstration of napalm well out front of the guests. BISH'S LITTLE airplane couldn't carry a payload as large as a cannister of jellied gasoline. Therefore, the air drop and explosion had to be faked: Bish to make his pass; a ground assistant to Failure to serve subpoenas charged against constable No chance seen for Williams vs. Goddard debate By DON BOLLES The possibility of a televised debate between the two candidates for Arizona governor, Republican Gov.

Williams and Democrat Sam Goddard, appeared to have collapsed for good yesterday. The maneuverings went this way: plane Company, flying one-engine Otters loaded with passengers and supplies. He also takes aerial photographs at low altitudes like so: "We fly by hand. The Air Force C-130s have lots of fancy electronic gear, but in general our pictures are better taken from our ancient, low, slow Otters. "C-130s USE a doppler to set course.

We use an iron rod mounted in front of the windshield and a piece of string hanging down from the inside of the same, and make our runs by visual reference to points on the ground and get our drift by lining up reference points with the string and adjusting heading so that the string remains both lined up with the reference points and parallel to the bar." Note the absence of uncouth language, surely a personal record in a statement of that length by Bish. Pursuing his serious mood, he continues: "I have reached the conclusion that people in the States have almost no concept of what Vietnam is like and what the war is really all about. "AMERICAN advisors to Vietnamese units, the people in psychological warfare units, informed Vietnamese in fact, anyone who makes a point of learning something about the country and the people all insist that the reasons North Vietnam and China wish to conquer South Vietnam are purely economic. "South Vietnam, they say, and I agree, is one of the richest agricultural areas in all Asia. It can letting their spirits soar with the astronauts.

THE CLASS interest in Apollo 7 was spurred about three weeks ago. Each boy and girl in the class carefully penciled questions about space flights on wide lined tablet paper, put them in an envelope, and their teacher posted them to the crew of the Apollo 7. Within a week, Mrs. Landon said, a large manila envelope stuffed with pic- tures, literature and data came back fro mthe Houston headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. "THE ASTRONAUTS are most grateful for your letters and for your good wishes for a successful Apollo mission," said the covering letter signed by William Jay Drewes, head of the special activities group of the astronauts office.

The 56 portrait pictures of America's spacemen were passed out to the children. Color prints taken during earlier flights and illustrations of how to fly in space were tacked to the classroom bulletin board. The class then settled down (as much as 7 year olds can) to become experts on the space program, a chore usually reserved for the older children in seventh or eighth grade, Mrs. Landon said. "HOW LONG will the astronauts be in space?" the class was asked.

"Eleven days," came the reply from 29 voices. "Will they (the crew) run out to recess?" the teacher asked. A long chorus of "no" filled the room. When asked by a reporter if they wanted to become astronauts, all but Mrs. Landon said yes.

Among the questions the children asked the spacemen in their letters were: "DID YOU want to be an astronaut when you were 6 years old?" "What do you eat out there?" "What does the earth look like from space?" MRS. TANGEMAN had filed a charge of aggravated assault against Mariscal and Mrs. Hacker was to have appeared as a witness. The charge was dismissed when the women did not show up, but Mrs. Hacker called the county attorney's office the following day after reading of the dismissal in the newspaper and said she had not received notice.

Justice of the Peace John Murphy, Goodman's boss, then granted a motion to reinstate the charge against Mariscal. 13 THE MEANTIME, two other persons called the county attorney's office and claimed they had received no notice of a hearing which also was held in Murphy's court. Court records again show that Goodman had served both of the witnesses subpoenas. The second case involved a grand theft charge. A Maricopa County deputy constable accused of failing to serve subpoenas on witnesses in two criminal cases was charged yesterday.

Walter L. Goodman, deputy constable of East Phoenix Justice Court No. 2, is charged with four counts of filing false documents. The felony is punishable by 1 to 14 years in prison on each count. Goodman was a defeated candidate for school trustee in Phoenix Elementary District No.

1 last week. THE CHARGE came as a result of a probe by the county attorney's office into the dismissal of charges against a county probation officer because witnesses failed to show up for his preliminary hearing. Court records which Goodman signed showed the witnesses had been contacted by Goodman, who advised them of the hearing. However, Mrs. Betty Tangeman and Mrs.

Mary Hacker said they had not been told of a hearing set for last Monday for county probation officer Alvaro Padilla Mariscal. touch off the blast. Apparently the worst-coordinated soldier of the Guard was handed the detonater, because the napalm prematurely soared upward in a fearsome ball of flame which all but engulfed Bish and his plane. "If you smell anything burning, folks," Bish yelled into his radio, which was hooked into the grandstand loudspeakers, "It's And anybody wondering what he said may go to Florence and ask anybody over 30. 'BISH IS that kind of direct, outspoken, and guileless kind of guy.

He took a reduction in grade to warrant officer in order to relieve a younger man with a whole life to live. Now from Bish comes a note. He says he is with the 54th Utility Air- dwsua itstwe PERIOD OF "WE I PIS HOCKEY Ex-Gov. Goddard first challenged Williams to a debate.

Williams replied last Friday that he would debate Goddard if the latter would argue against property tax cuts for homeowners, the solution of scandals in the fair commission and liquor department, and other accomplishments of the GOP administration. Goddard said, without agreeing to the conditions set by Williams, that he took Williams' reply as an agreement to debate and announced he would be at Phoenix television station KPHO on Oct. 24 ready to tape a debate with the conditions to be set by the station. WILLIAMS yesterday" sent a one-paragraph letter to Goddard which read: "Dear Sam: If you have decided to accept the conditions for a debate set out in my letter of Oct. 4, 1968, then I am sure you will follow the procedures outlined therein." Peter Starrctt, press aide for Goddard, said there would be no further negotiations.

"Since we said we would accept the usual debate conditions set by a neutral body, the TV station, we obviously are at an impasse," Starrctt said. "We do consider it most unusual for one party to a debate to set out 12 conditions to be followed." OTHER THAN drafting the letter, Williams took time off from his campaign-Continued On Page B-2 Tempers are running short A FAN AT RINK5IPS 5H0ITS A PER06ATORV REMARK- Karate lessons for plane crews JOHANNESBURG (AP)-Thirty pilots and stewardesses have enrolled in karate courses with encouragement from South African Airways, the promotion organ Trade and Travel reports, to defend against sky hijacking.

"The general opinion is that if South Vietnam were overpopulated and starving, neither North Vietnam nor China would have anything to do with it."

The public will have to wait until Bish once again is airborne over Florence. you get tired of sitting down for 11 days." Mrs. Landon said the interest in the manned space shot was sparked from newspaper articles students brought to school. "IT JUST grew from there," she said.

"And if I can I'm going to have a television set in the room when the time for splashdown comes." "They land in the water because they don't know how to land on land," a lnd in the front row quickly added. Alleged poison seller in plea A 17-year-old youth accused of selling two clear gelatin capsules containing strychnine to a police undercover agent yesterday pleaded innocent at an appearance before a Juvenile court referee, to a charge he is a delinquent. The court referee ordered Robert Jack Cochran, 1010 E.

The hearing will be conducted before Juvenile Court Judge Thomas Tang.

Larry Debus, deputy county attorney in charge of juvenile prosecution, said Cochran will be charged with three felonies and two misdemeanors If he is remanded for trial as an adult.
