Gazette photo by William Tutokey "Really, the chairman's authority is limited to ordering pencils and signing claims." Shortly after the disputed 2-1 order was signed by Ernest C.

Steel and Victor H. Fall, Steel was elected chairman. Oddly, a painting of Fall, was prominent on the courtroom wall during the daylong hearings before Meloy. Fall was Meloy's predecessor on the bench. In explaining the need for higher gas rates, Corette said: "All this trouble we're in which sounds like we're doing something wrong is caused by those blue-eyed Arabs in Canada who want more money." The consumer counsel's action was set for trial Nov.

6. If one day isn't enough, it will be resumed Nov. 12. The judge I FROM PA66 said to use about $3 worth of gas a month, to challenge rates to all residential and nonresidential users. For one thing, as PSC counsel Charles Dickman said in opposing consolidation of the cases, McTaggart is a plaintiff in one case and a defendant in both, "so I don't know whom I'm representing." Dickman also said that as a commissioner, McTaggart cannot lawfully try to frustrate the regular functions of the PSC simply because he disagrees with the majority.

Towe countered that McTaggart, under the language of the law, is a proper party to sue the other two commissioners. Burke argued that the statutes don't allow such a challenge from a person who par ticipated in making the decision that is disputed. "What if he resigns?" the judge asked. The reply was that generally the law doesn't allow such a collateral attack. Towe said it is "hornbook law" that a stockholder is entitled to question the actions of his corporation even though he attended a stockholders'.

meeting and voted on the disputed action. Towe questioned the validity of the gas-rate order on the ground the commission had no chairman when it was approved. Dickman replied that the commissioners have no formal rules. "They vote and the majority governs," he said. "Sort of like around a camp-fire," Meloy observed.

"That's it," said Dickman, adding: Stathos SHERIDAN, Wyo. Services for Pete A. Stathos, 81, will beat 1 p.m. Monday in Greek Orthodox Church, with the Rev. Dean Demos officiating.

Tflti Ph. 2SI-2IU Cashmore Memorial Chapels Laurel, Montana PETRICK Funeral services for Gilbert W. Pe-trick, age 85, will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, at Cashmore Memorial Chapel with the Rev.

Carl Coons of the Laurel Naza-rene Church officiating. Interment in Laurel Cemetery. Lawyers' discipline "It sounds like a pretty revolutionary idea for lawyers," Forshee said. "But I think that the fact that it has been adopt- ed by seven states in a relatively short time speaks well for But many Montana lawyers disagreed and said laymen lack the background knowledge to understand disciplinary questions. Associate Justices Wesley Castles and John C.

Harrison of the Montana Supreme Court questioned whether laymen could serve effectively on discipline committees. Atty. Gen. Robert L. Woodahl also opposes the idea.

"IF WE CAN'T police our own ranks, I don't think we should involve the general public in it. Another controversial proposal that Michigan has adopt- ed is opening hearings on lawyer discipline matters to the public. Only one Montana lawyer interviewed, Robert L. "Dusty" Deschamps III, Missoulian County attorney, en- dorsed this proposal. "The only thing that bothers me is that all this stuff is secret, and it's up to the Supreme Court whether anybody because the Supreme Court seems to control both functions: It appoints members of the investigative arm the Commission on Practice and it has the ultimate judicial authority.

"Nobody should be judge and jury," a prominent Montana attorney said. EUGENE THOMAS, a Boise, Idaho, attorney who sits on the ABA's committee on discipline, noted that in Idaho, the supreme court does not have investigative responsibility. It is lodged with the state bar. The Montana Supreme Court recently rejected a petition asking that the state bar association be given disciplinary responsibility after it is unified. All lawyers will be required to join the unified bar.

Membership now is voluntary. The court decided to retain control "until something better comes along," Associate Justice Gene B. Daly said. Associate Justice Frank I. Haswell said it would be "silly, during a period of transition without a record of performance, to transfer complete control of the bar." THE CLARK report did not consider the question of whether laymen should serve on lawyer discipline groups, but some attorneys have endorsed the idea.

Clark himself said recently he believes that nonlawyers should serve on these boards. "It will give the public confidence that the inquiry is not a whitewash," he said. A few Montana lawyers agreed. "Lay people probably would hold lawyers to higher standards than some of their fellow lawyers would," said Robert L. Stephens a Billings lawyer.

Others see it as a public relations device to improve the image of lawyers. Billings lawyer Jerome J. Cate favors laymen on boards but describes such a plan as a "Band-Aid" solution instead of the major reform that is needed. MICHIGAN, Minnesota, Colorado, Georgia, Washington, Maine and New Hampshire have laymen on lawyer discipline boards, according to F. LaMar Forshee, director of the ABA Center for Professional Discipline, Chicago.

knows about it," Deschamps said. "There have been cases that the public ought to know about" that weren't made public, he said. He emphasized that the proceedings should not be publicized before they reach the hearing stage. salt Lake Lily 61 44 San Diego 76 62 San Francisco 72 54 Spokane 65 34 Tampa 86 62 Washington 76 50 Edmonton 54 21 tS.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIZ: 36 41 CoUpl6 Qu'llty 1 in false reports fwistown TnQtir-P nf Sather found and Mrs Mike Kurns of SilJ false. sports to law officers con- cerning an alleged sexual assault 6 6 lla J1 or eacn of em was deferred for Slx months on condition they report monthly to the parole of- flcer of the State Board of Par; dons- Walker LEWISTOWN Mrs.

Laura C. Walker, 87, longtime resident of the Teigen area, died Thursday night in Rosebud Community Hospital in Forsyth after a long illness. She was born July 17, 1887, in Maquoketa, Iowa, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Penrose Hotten-stein.

She attended school in Iowa and taught school for 40 years. On Dec. 25, 1911, she was married to Willis Fee Walker in Anabel, Mo. They came to Montana in 1914 and settled in the Moore area. The following year they homesteaded near Teigen where she lived until July 1, 1974.

Her husband died in 1971. Survivors include two sons, Penrose of Colstrip and Earl of Teigen; a brother, Forrest of Bremerton, a sister, Ruth Davis of Yukon, five grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren. Services will be at 2:30 p.m. Monday in the Cloyd Funeral Chapel in Lewistown, with the Rev. Arthur Heath officiating.

Burial will be in the Moore Cemetery. "EVERYBODY else I can think of is tried publicly," Deschamps said. "If I charge a guy with murder, rape or spitting on the sidewalk, it's a public trial. I don't feel any differently about lawyers than I do about anybody else." Richard Vandiver, a University of Montana professor of sociology, said he talked to some lawyers after one Missoula attorney was disbarred, and they said: "Trust us he did all these things." "I don't want to take their word for it," said Vandiver, who favors open hearings. Most Montana attorneys are wary of the prospect of open hearings.

Boone said he opposes the idea because "you have the opportunity of seriously damaging a professional career here." OPEN HEARINGS are impossible in Montana now because of the Supreme Court's rule requiring confidentiality of proceedings, according to commission member Hooks. But he opposes open hearings anyway because misconduct charges are dismissed after about half of the hearings. And he added this warning: "It would tend to cause those prosecuting and those determining whether a hearing is necessary to be a hell of a lot tougher to persuade to hold a hearing." paoer Stanford man hurt in collision LEWISTOWN A 22-year-old Stanford man was critically injured Friday afternoon when his pickup truck collided with the Burlington Northern Train at a crossing in downtown Stanford. A resident said Gary Worm apparently did not see the train. He was taken to Deaconess Hospital in Great Falls with head injuries and a fractured arm.
