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

and Kahle's associates, to deter
mine whether the court's decision
would be annealed. Dealers In

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 repealed or nuiu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

The initial project, if the plan
