FOUNDED 1851 EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, May 10, 1933 Ned Declaring. of 3.2 Beer not Intoxicating no Issue, Lewelling Rules Appeal Possible, Otherwise Charter Change Will be Aim of Wets Here Workmen Return to Job, Many of Them At Advanced Wages 20 per Cent Biggest Boost; Increase of Half That More General; Hundreds Employed As Shifts, Departments Renewed CLOSE OP CASE IT BANKS Defense to ask Recess of Day or Less to Shape Its Plans, Belief Right of retailers to tell beer la Salem legally was denied yester day by Judge L. O. Lewelling who dismissed temporary in unction granted against law enforcement officers In the case of Carl Kahle against the City of Salem. By his decision. Judge Lewelling upheld the constitutionality of a city or dinance passed March 9, 1114, in which sale of beer or malt bever ages was banned. ' Mayor Douglas McKay Immedi ately announced that city police would be instructed to begin en forcement of the ordinance today as soon as the court's decree was received here. Jadge Lewelling submitted his opinion Tuesday morning: the official decree dis missing the injunction was expect ed in court this morning. Meanwhile city dealers in 3.2 beer were busy cleaning up scant stocks on hand and since the sup ply of beer has been short since congress authorized beer's sale April T, 1938; there was little like lihood that dealers would have any stocks on hand by tonight Decision on Appeal Is Expected Soon John Carson, counsel for Kahle, exnected to confer with his client and Kahle's associates, to deter mine whether the court's decision would be annealed. Dealers In beer on the outskirts of town and In Polk county expected an in crease In business as there is now . no legal provision against selling beer to the county territory out side of Salem. If the Kahle case is not appeal ed to the state supreme court In an effort to throw out the present city ordinance, proponents of 3.2 beer sale here xjefef4tr east for revision of the city charter at the special election July 21. Such re vision could he had, they think, and the likelihood of early legal sale of beer In the city here is ful ly as great under a popular man date as under etate supreme court authority, beer advocctes said yesterday. Judge Lewelling reasoned in his pinion that federal power over sale of liquor was concurrent, not exclusive, and that amendment of the Volstead act to permit beer to be sold, did not preclude Its sale when local statutes were contrary to federal enactment. Inderal Enactment Does Not Supersede. "It goes without saying then that the ordinance now assailed has been a valid ordinance since its adoption until the present time (unless it has been affected by the act of March 22, 1933) for the purpose of prohibiting the gift. barter; and sale of beer containing alcohol in excess of one-half of one per cent." says the opinion. "The question then 1b, has the ordinance been . repealed or nuiu fled bv the act of March 22. 1933, wherein the congress of the Unit ed States saw fit to permit, so far as federal regulations was con cerned, the traffic In beer contain ing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol and not in excess of 3.2 of alcohol by weight." The court ruled that the fact that 1.2 beer might not be lntoxi eating! did not preclude the city from legislating against its sale, citing I several cases where the United States supreme court had upheld the right of cities, under their police power, to prohibit or limit the sale of non-intoxicating beveraces. Arrsment by Kahle's counsel that the vote at the recent elec tion In the United States had In dlcated a change in public sent! tnent was dismissed by the Judge as not binding on the case at Issue, "It becomes a matter for the local legislative body of the city to change its policy and counsel's appeal in that direction should be addressed solely to the legislative body of the city upon whose shoul ders rests the responsibility of promulgating and pursuing the policy of said municipality. It is not for the court by Judicial flat to legislate in a matter wholly outside of the province of the Ju diciary, nor is it for this court to say what policy should be pursued or by Judicial Interpretation to guide the legislative body of a mu nicipality In pursuit of a policy contrary to its Ideas and opinions as expressed by Its legislative en actments. . v By RAY BRENNAN A MERICAN workmen marched back to their jobs by the Xi. hundreds Tuesday-rand many of them read notices at Letter to Police Chief and XI J A1 A -ft .

The initial project, if the plan works out, will be the enlarge ment of the athletic field at Les lie Junior high school, which calls for a large amount of excavation. The only expense to the school district will be the wages of a foreman for the crew at 85 cents an hour. City Engineer Hugh Rog ers is understood to have agreed to furish the necessary tools. Uncertainty of Salem high school enrollment next fall led the directors to defer consideration of instructor contracts and possible eliminations of teaching positions. Principal Fred Wolf and R. W. Tavenner, assistant, were given additional time to complete regis tration for the next term. Doubt as to the number of Btudents who wi? come to Salem high school un der the tuition and transportation act also has a part in the delay.

The persistence of the president who instmcttd Norman H. Davis, ambassador at large, to stay in London until he won the government over, finally prevailed. One factor which led the British to hold back was thehr lack of success several years ago when they undertook to inaugu rate a similar tariff truce. The United States at that time instead of Joining raised its rates by the Smoot-Hawley tariff set of 1930. Shortly thereafter. Great Britain abandoned its traditional policy of free trade.
