## Opinion text

O’CONNELL, J.,
dissenting.
The information imparted to the accused does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Von Moltke v. Gillies, 332 US 708 , 68 S Ct 316 , 92 L Ed 309 (1948). I regard the requirements set forth in that case as binding upon the states.
As I indicated in my concurring opinion in Tucker v. Gladden, 245 Or 109 , 420 P2d 625 at 627 (1966), we could avoid the litigation in this type of case if the trial judge would appoint counsel in every ease. I am hopeful that eventually this will become the universal practice in this state.
Denecke, J., joins in this dissent.
