Club License Laws Hit by Liquor Group PORTLAND, June 20-(JP)-An Oregon liquor control commission er today attacked the state's Knox law as discriminatory. William A. Spangler, Klamath Falls, said the liquor law provision requiring an organization to be in existence for two years before it is eligible for a club license dis criminates against a large number of people in this fast-growing state. His attack came after the com mission had expressed doubt that a license could be issued to the McNary Recreation association, a group of McNary dam workers, be cause of the two-year limitation. Action on the application was withheld pending further study of this and the provision requiring service of food. Commissioner Richard W. Reed, Eugene, warned that repeal of the two-year provision might bring ad ditional headaches to the commis sion trying to decide which clubs were legitimate. Chairman Carl W. Hogg, Salem, said the commission did not want to encourage organizations formed just so members could drink to gether.' Spangler replied that it "should n't be too difficult to determine a legitimate club." A discussion of finances disclos ed, the plight of the Eugene liquor store. Commissioners said they had asked funds for four new stores last year, but the legislature cut this to one new store. As a result, the growing Eugene area still is getting along with one store, which now serves an area of 60,000 population. It did $114,000 business in May, the largest dollar volume In the state with the ex ceotion of one Portland store. . Portland stores are planned to serve 20,000 persons each. The one store handles many quantity pur chases, commissioners were told. f Administrator William H. Ham mond said the commission might be able to open another agency in Eugene if a co-operative landlord could be found.' He would have to Install the necessary facilities on promise of the state to buy them later, Hammond said. Active Duty Available To.

The prosecution unexpectedly concluded its case today in the trial here of the Wilson brothers, accused of kidnaping and slaying 18-year-old Jo Ann Dewey last March 19. Defense Attorney Irvln Good man, who admitted he was taken by surprise, immediately asked! that the state be required to stip ulate that the crime, if any, oc curred between 11:15 p.m. and midnight. He also asked Superior Judge Eugene Cushing for a di rected verdict of acquittal on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Judge Cushing refused both requests. . Goodman said his first witness tomorrow would be Mrs. Eunice Wilson, mother of the accused. The state provided two sur prises in closing testimony. Both came in statements from Harry Diamond, Vancouver police chief, which got into the record only through a barrage of objections by Defense Attorney Goodman. Diamond said a woman who witnessed the abduction of the girl from a dark street here later identified Utah and Turman as resembling the kidnapers. She picked them out of separate pp lice lineups, he said. ' The woman was Mrs. James Nelson, who earlier testified she saw the kidnaping from her apartment window. She also tes tified she had picked out men from a police lineup, but while On the stand did not identify them by name. Diamond, who was in the po lice party that picked up Utah and Turman after their arrest in Sacramento, told of the trip back to Vancouver. "On several occasions Utah choked up and started sobbing. One time he broke down and cried," the police chief said. He added that the group stopped to look at the scene where the girl's body was found. Utah kept his eyes downcast and had nothing to say, Diamond testified. Holly Culture Project Begun At Oregon State By Llllie It. Madsen . Farm Editor, The Statesman CORVALLIS. June 20 Holly, which can be grown so few places in the United States, and in no place better , than the Pacific Northwest, has graduated into a class of its own at Oregon State college, - according to announce ment made here Tuesday. A separate horticultural project has been set up at the state col lege experiment station to further tne development oz tnis mere as ingly important specialty crop. The growth of the industry into an orchard tree crop in its own right and the pressing need for more information on production practices, diseases and pests, pro moted ; the establishment of the separate program. There are now a little better than 1,000 acres of holly planted in Oregon with some 400 acres in production. The , estimated return to Oregon growers last year was $200,000. The market is good and prospects for future development are bright. . . A number of holly growers lost their trees during the past winter. A few wintered-through the sev ere weather and a few of these, at first thought lost, are now showing some growth but will not produce this season.. Efforts are being made made to determine if certain strains of the English holly withstood the cold better than others. More than 60 holly varieties are now under test at the experiment station. Studies on pruning and cutting practices are being conducted in co-opera tion with holly growers in the Portland and Salem areas. Past work at the experiment station, which has conducted stud ies on this crop for the past 15 years, has concentrated on devel oping propagation techniques and on finding the best handling and storage practices. The new project will center more around finding the best varieties for this climate for com mercial production, determining the best cutting and pruning prac tices, and studying pollination requirements. Further studies on the improved handling and storage techniques developed at the experiment sta Plays Friday I Zoners Hear Plans for Auto Parking Area on Chemeketa By Robert E. Ganrware ..

Cherry Spray Needed Until Harvest Time A protective spray jor dust cover. must be maintained on cherry trees until harvest to prevent wormy fruit, says County Extension Agent D. L. Rasmussen. Either lead arsenate or ro ten one spray or dust program can be followed. Rotenone must be applied week-r ly, and the interval between lead arsenate sprays or dusts should not exceed 10 to 11 days. To maintain the protective cover, growers must respray or dust their trees after rains. - , k'. The period from now till har vest is a critical . one, says Ras mussen. The early emerging cher ry fruit flies have reached the egg laying stage, in addition, mora cherry fruit flies continue to em- erge from the soil every day of the week. , Under the cherry grower kills these flies before they reach the egg-laying stage, his cherries will be wormy. Since there is no toler ance for wormy cherries in proces sing plants, 100 per cent control is necessary.
