Soecia! Prosecutor to be
Appointed, is Rumor;
Tasks hot Told i
The- Marion county grand Jury,
continued until the end of . the
present term ef court by order
ot Judge L. IL McMahan, will re
sume its investigations of , state
and' county offices near the end
ot the present court session.
Judge ItleMahan indicated yes
terday that he would .pursue a
course of action, ' rather - than
talk, with respect to the Jury and
its work.- Just what the unfin
ished work is he did not say. He
virtually verified rumor that a
special prosecutor would be called
In, but aaid be was not ready to
make any announcement ot whom
he might be.
Despite ruling of Judge G. F.
SkJpworth of Lane county that
the grand Jury which Indicated
Rhea Luper for larceny ot public
funds was "as Bead as door
nail". Juddge- MCMahan : this
week entered the order continu
ing the grand Jury. -Failure
te Order
Ce.tlnaane Otod .
Sklpwerth held that the Jury
was -dead at time of indictment
because McUahan failed to eater
order continuing the Jury at the
end et the October term of court,
when St started functioning.
Judge McMaban, in continuing
the Jury in- face of Sklpworths
decision, still holds that the
grand Jury, under 9th Oregon
code, section 13-401, Is not dis
charged until it completes its
business, even if that business
carry orer into terms of court
other than the term In which the
Jury was started.
Besidei, the Sklpworth decision
affects the Luper case only, and
not the other business of the
jury, the circuit Judge holds.
Under tne law, McManan nas
no appeal to the supreme court
from the Sklpworth decision.
However, Judging from his few
remarks, he has confidence that
his action is continuing the
grand Jury will not be useless.

The United States today de
fended the sinking of the rum
runner "I'm Alone" subject of a
protracted arbitration proceed

the vessel was American-owned.
! A formal not was -submitted
to the Ottawa government con
tending, in addition the bombard

guard was Justified since Its mas

i The communication also set
forth the view that theory of "hot
pursuit" covered the fact that the
vessel was scores of miles off
shore when sunk, the coast guard
said the vessel was sighted near
land and only overtaken after an
extended chase.
1 Meanwhile, word came from the
State department that another
note to the Canadian government,
dealing with a second rum run

bilixatloa of the surplus came up
for much discussion. - Under the
proposal discussed, " Independent
producers selling to distributors
would be charged a stated sum,
proposed as 1 cent a huadred.
for a surplus reserve on each hun
dred pounds of milk ' sold. This
surplus fund would be turned over
by the distributors to the cooperative-
production association to help
that group absorb Its loss on sur
plus sales. Under this system, the
independents would be made - to
carry some of the burden of sta
bilising the price "brought 'about
by the cooperatives. Gehlharaald
he questioned the legality of such
a proposal. : V- -
- Figures on costs of distributing
milk were laid before the two
groups and distributors repeatedly
asserted that their profits were
sot too high. It developed at the
meeting that the retail distribu
tion bt milk in Portland was. inef
ficient in the fact that there was
much, overlapping of competing
groups. Track, service was high,
solicitation expense target ' while
certain rebates made to customers
to- obtain business, because of
Jkeen competition, also brought up
costs and lowered margins.

board went on record as opposed
to the operation of institutional

tion was made by Holman, sec

he thought the stste should run

In the consideration of state
farming activities, Holman point
ed - out that the state now owns
