The 36-year-old Hatfield whose rise in politics has been meteoric, took the oath of office from Chief Justice William McAllistdr of the Oregon Supreme Court amid pomp and pageantry in the House chamber. His inauguration took place before a joint session of tha Legislature which convened at 10 a.m. for its 50th biennial session. The actual ceremony did not begin until the new speaker of the House, Robert Duncan, Medford, read the official canvass of the votes from the November elections.

This was the point at which some observers speculated In State Government SALEM tmGov.

The problem was one of trying to reconcile legislators' requests with the practicality of organizing proper committees. Most requests are honored, but one difficulty is in scheduling the assignments so that a legislator is not on two or three committees which will meet at the same time.
