UOUflR STORE
Staff Also to Be Announced
Soon Says McMorran of
State Commission
Public Cooperation is Asked
in Making Control of
Oregon Success
Today or early next week the
location of the Salem liquor store
mill be announced and the per
sonnel of the store will shortly
be made known, George H. Mc
Morran, chairman of tbe state li
quor commission, Indicated here
yesterday as he stopped in the
city on his way to Kugene from
Portland. He had been in the me
tropolis all week working with
the commission's administrators
in finishing preliminary work to
th opening of the first stores in
the state.
Two downtown stores in Port
land will be operating- by Mon
day, February 5, McMonan said.
Store operations in Eugene and
Salem should be under way by
the following Saturday, February
10, with other stores in the state
open for business a short time
thereafter.
Control Will Work
If Public Assists
"The Knox liquor control act
will work and the bootlegger and
racketeer will be virtually elimin
ated In the state, but only with
the cooperation of the sensible,
stable, good citizens of Oregon,"
McMorran commented. "The com
mission. Its administrators and
the law itself are not sufficient.
We need full public cooperation.
We may not expect that radical
dries or radical wets will be in
full accord but I think they are
only a small minority.'- What we
need is the help of the great middle-of-the-road
group which is sin
cerely interested that this new
law adopted in the special session
be fully tried out." V A,
Mr. McMorran said th cominis
slon had labored unceasingly
since its appointment to get the
state-owned system of liquor dis
pensing well set up. He said po
litical preferment had not entered
into the commission's delibera
tions. "Had I known the work would
be so arduous when I took the ap
pointment I am sure I would have
declined the job," McMorran com
mented. "However I am hopeful
now that those most arduous days
for the commission are behind.
The three commissioners have la
bored without any friction what
ever; I count the other commis
sioners among my very best
friends.
No Big Investment

McMorran denied reports that

State Officials Attention Called as Report of
Disturbance Made; Group of 27 Tries
to "Eke Out Existence," Stated
INVESTIGATION by state officials Friday, of a cooperative
colony of 27 persons in the cut-off forest lands in Polk
county near Black Rock revealed this incorporated group as
the "last effort to organize for an existence." The group
banded together last October in an attempt to "eke out an
existence from the land."
Disturbances in the colony came O
to the attention of the Btate labor
commissioner the past week when
it was learned one family was to
be ousted, and that there was dis
satisfaction in the ranks. This was
the first time the existence of the
colony was brought out since in
corporation papers were filed for
them as the "Co-op Colony."
Parties investigating the sit

Money Board Plan Killed;
Trend of Gold Toward
U.S. Starts, Seen
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-rV
An effort to put a silver tip on
the administration's monetary
weapon brought the senate to
night to the eve of a vote on the
dollar devaluation measure.
The endeavor, by Senator
Wheeler (D-Mont.) sought to
have the government buy silver
until it reaches the long debated
ratio of sixteen to one with
gold.
The silver amendment came up
in the senate shortly after It had
voted down a committee proposal
to restrict solely to money the op
erations of the ' stabilization fund
the bill would set up. A few min
utes earlier the five man board
that had been demanded to op
erate the fund had been rejected.
Instead, the secretary of the
treasury will direct the fund that
will be set up when the senate
finally gets around to the busi
ness of changing the legislation
Into law. Meanwhile, the jagged
course of debate went ahead.
Bailey (D-N. C.) said the bills
would help about paying debts.
Reed (R - Penn.) said that the
fact that it took two bad pennies
instead of one good one to buy
an apple wouldn't help much.
NEW YORK, Jan. U-UPj-
First definite evidence of the real
turning of the international gold
movement toward the United
States, in the effort to stabilize
the dollar, came today with re
ports in Wall Street of a substan

France.
In the meantime, however, the
federal reserve selling of dollars
and buying of foreign metal was
inadequate to counterbalance the
heavy demand for the American
currency abroad, and it rose to
the highest levels in relation to
the British pound sterling since
November.

no craft was waiting to take the

was expressed he might hop from

20 miles distant.
Meanwhile, Premier Tsaldaris
said Insull would be deported
February 1 If he does not leave
voluntarily by January 31, as or
dered by the minister of the in
terior and the state council, but
added:
"If Insull requests a prolonga
tion of bis sojourn permit on the
grounds of health and If the
minister of the interior's doctor
finds his health dangerous, the
Greek government will prolong
the permit until his health ia
satisfactory."
No other nation has offered to
