The proposed law does not at tempt to solve the deep seated problems of the elementary schools: inadequate state support and necessary consolidation and reorganization. Rather it attempts only to pump needed credits dur ing the next 18 months to schools where a showing can be made that the school Is In danger of being closed unless help is given.

Knox, author of the Knox liquor bill now be ing considered by the state leg islature, said In a statement Is sued here tonight that the Beck man-Hall bill might be construed as "a proposal to legalize the public sale and consumption of hard liquor by the- glass," in which case it would be a "breach of faith" with Governor Julius L. Meier. The Beckman-Hall bill, report ed out of the committee yester day by Knox, would provide that hotels and restaurants be permit ted to sell beers and wines con taining not more than 22 per cent of alcohol by volume. "A liill governing the traffic in alcoholic liquor is now before the legislature. This bill, as reported out of the committee, provides that restaurants run either as such or in connection with hotels be permitted to sell for consump tion on the premises beers and wines containing not over . 22 per cent by volume of alcohol, Dr. Knox stated.

Scott, chairman of the state highway commission, tonight Issued a statement here criticiz ing what he described as raids on highway funds in the form of bills which would require the state highway commission to purchase right-of-way through cities, to take: over certain roads, or to re fund gasoline taxes to cities. Raiding the highway fEnd," be declared In his statement, "is a pet sport of local groups which seek benefits for themselves at the expense of the state-wide Interest. "One of these raids is the bill to refund gas tax to cities and school districts for the benefit of Portland chiefly. Another is to 'authorize' the highway commis sion to buy right-of-way through cities. Local pressure after this bill becomes a law will convert authorize' to 'compel.' Other raids seek to require the highway commission to take over this road or that. To assume a district debt, to obtain a special concession as to fees or licenses or permits. "The highway commission is confronted with such schemes all the time and has to say 'no' In or der to protect the public against self - seeking groups. The legisla ture is faced with the same prob lems. "The highway funds are so. closely budged and obligated that diversions will make deficits and increase the debt. The big federal expenditures on roads and high ways add heavily to state costs for right-of-way, surveys, engineering, equipment and administration. "The principal diversions now are: Secretary of state administra tion, $260,000; p u b 1 1 e utilities commission, $60,000; gasoline tax refunds, $860,000; state police, $280,000; contribution to coun ties, $1,600,000. "Debt service in 1934 will cost $3,400,000; maintenance cf pri mary highways and ferries, $2,- 2ov,uvu; secondary nignways maintenance, $500,000; right-of- way, $350,000; Burveys, $200,000. The total expenditure for 1934 are budgeted at $9,625,000 and the revenues are $9,620,000. "These are big figures because of the big highway system, the big debt, the big construction ac count. The foregoing figures do not include federal projects but they do Include the state's share of federal costs. "Raids on the highway reven ues will profit the local groups gaming tnem, but will deplete the state-wide funds. Cities are ob taining PWA funds as never be fore and should not raid the state highway budget. "The right-of-way raid will cost the state $200,000 for right-of- way in Oregon City. Applied to all cities it will break the highway fi nances and the state credit. Coun ties will seek the same favor and areas much entitled to it as cities. The state will have to raise high er prices through cities and coun ties. The state has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by requir ing citiea and counties to provide rignt-or-way." COLLEGE OE IDAHO JCALDWELL, Idaho. Nov. SO (P) A fleet halfback from Pacific university of Forest Qrove, Ore., broke away for two touchdowns to defeat the College of Idaho in a Thanksgiving day game here, 13 to 6. 1 After the two teams battled on almost even terms during the first half. Halfback Killits of Pacific received the openlne kickof f in the second halt on bis own fire yard line and raced the length of the field for the first score. Again in that same period, after Criteh- tield. Pacific fullback, had inter cepted a Coyote pass, Killits broke through tackle for a 40-yard run for the second touchdown. Crltch- fleld added the point after with a place kick. In the fourth period Hayman, College of Idaho, half back, hurled a pass from his own 40-yard line to McReynolds, who stood within a step or two of the goal line.

Naturally every one of the red and black warriors had to play a heroie .role to make those goal line stands .good; but the work of Glenn Moody and Andy Hal- vorsen stood out though Jimmy Nicholson, shining on offense as ever but seldom called on for de fensive play, piled into the heap and had a major part in stopping the Colonial plungers short, of the double stripe. Washington's supremacy, under the circumstances which were highly unfavorable to Salem, is indicated in its 12 first downs to Salem's five and Its 174 yards from scrimmage to Salem's 135; but Washington couldn't score on (Turn to page 2, col. 1) LIQUOR ILL FLOW (By the Associated Press) In 24 of the 43 states, legal li quor will begin to flow next Tues day, or shortly thereafter, with final ratification of repeal on De cember 6. It will be sold, a survey of the states showed last night, under nearly every form of regulation that could be ' conceived In the minds of legislators. In some cases there will be no law at all. The laws vary from those pro viding 'wide open" saloons In Nevada to a strict system of dis pensing hard liquor in Montana only through state owned stores. one In every county. In half a dozen states, the sta tus of liquor after repeal de pends on the action of state leg islatures In the next four days. In some states the legislators went home for the Thanksgiving holi day and will not return before Tuesday. Most widely enacted of the laws Is one providing for serving of hard liquor only with meals.

(JP) Federal Judge . James A. Low ell, 64, died at his home today after an Illness, of ten days. His death brought to a close impeachment proceedings brought against him ia the national house of representatives because of his decision on the extradition of George Crawford, a negro, to Vir ginia, to face a murder charge. Crawford had been arrested in Boston charged with slaying Mrs. Margaret Beolng Ilsley and Mrs. Nina Buckner, her maid, at Mid dleburg, Ya. Governor Joseph B. Ely granted a request of the com monwealth of Virginia for Craw ford's return. Judge Lowell, how ever, issued a writ of habeas cor pus which freed Crawford. The judge Issued the writ on the ground that It was useless to return Crawford to Virginia for, he said, if he were convicted the conviction would be nullified by the supreme court because ne groes were not permitted to serve on juries in Virginia. The circuit court of appeal overruled the Bos ton judge, however, and Crawford eventually was returned to Vir ginia to stand trial. The judge s action led to his impeachment in the house of rep resentatives. Judge Lowell came from a line of four Lowella who had served on the federal bench. His great great grandfather, the first of the line, was appointed by President Washington. He was a cousin of A. Lawrence Lowell, president emeritus of Harvard.
