Called Well-Reasoned In requesting the legislation last year President Kennedy had asked for the public defender option.

Representative Moore W.Va.), author of the House bill, called it "a well-reasoned and effective means of providing assistance" to indigent defendants. He said it would help assure that the poor got a fair trial, by encouraging attorneys to make better defense efforts and by compensating them for their expenses. Most of the criticism on the floor of the House was directed at the level of payment, set at $15 per hour for time spent in court, and $10 per hour for time spent on outside preparation of the case. Scale Seen Inadequate Representative Farbstein called the scale "totally inadequate," but added that passage of the bill was still "vital and necessary." Moore defended the scale by saying, "I don't think we can ever provide indigent defendants with prime legal counsels." The bill was attacked by Representative Martha Griffiths who said indigent defendants now got better treatment from unpaid court-appointed attorneys in the Federal courts than they received from paid appointed defenders in state courts. "The defendant will not get a better hearing from the lawyer who is paid a meager amount than he would get for nothing," she warned.

She also cautioned that despite suggestions for a rotation system in appointments, the compensation might develop into "a racket." Plea Made By Lindsay A plea for the public defender system, at least in the busiest Federal courts, was made by Representative Lindsay N.Y.). But he called the bill "excellent as far as it goes." Moore denounced the public defender proposal, saying it was open to "totalitarian abuse" because the defender would be paid by the same Government that paid the prosecutor. He also said a public defender system would "smother the commendable legal assistance already offered" by attorneys. IK Real thin-like. She sure expects mild 'veather.
