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.

Phone- 3-5SS1
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 20
(JP)- The defense will begin pre
sentation tomorrow of evidence
it hopes will convince a jury that
Utah and Turman Wilson are in
nocent of kidnap-slaying charges.
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

from the Royal Court apartments is under consideration by Floyd K.
Bowers, the Salem planning and zoning commission was advised
Tuesday. ,

otherwise Improve, for parking purposes, a 37 by 157 foot strip of

North Capitol between Hood and
Shipping streets. ( ,
The zoners turned down a pe
tition from Suie L. Sun for a bus-
siness zoning along both Broad
way and North River road just
north of the Mapleton addition.
They deferred, pending more in-

A three-dimensional sea-scape,
developed by Bud Dietlein of Van

planning and two years of experi
mentation, is on display at the
Miller department store windows.
It was provided by Jantzen Knit

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.
