t Th Stat mem, Salem. Oregon. ThxiCTdaf Faforliarr 7. 1352 Ballot litleon Prohibition Bill Under Attack The-State Supreme Court heard arguments of attorneys Wednes day in an action by the Blitz Weinhard Company, Portland, at tacking the short ballot title of a proposed constitutional . amend ment which would return prohi bition to Oregon. The constitutional amendment prohibits the manufacture, aale-or importation of liquor containing tore than one half of one per cent alcohol by volume other than for medicinal purposes. Liquor used for medicinal purposes could be sofd only under a physician's pre scription. Attorney General George Neu set who prepared the short bal lot title was named defendent in the action. Attorneys for plaintiff argued Wednesday that the short ballot title is confusing and does not place before the voters a fair and im partial explanation of the propos ed constitutional .amendment. Neuner contended the short bal lot title is sufficient and that the complaint does not contain facts permitting the Supreme Court to assume jurisdiction in the pro ceeding. Neuners short ballot title reads: "Constitutional Amendment Relat ing to Alcoholic Liquor." .Plaintiff suggested this title: "Constitutional Amendment Pro hibiting Manufacture, importation r Sale of Alcoholic Liquor." The court indicated it would hand down a decision in the case within a few days. The proposed constitutional amendment was fil ed by Ralph Elmo Shannahan and others of the Portland area. In event a sufficient number of signatures are obtained the am endment will go on the ballot at tie next general election.

Rules for UMT Completed, But Date Left Open WASHINGTON (rP)-The House Armed Services Committee com pleted a set of operating rules for universal military training Wed nesday and recommended it to Congress, but left the starting date to future decision. The vote of approval, reported as 27 to 7, senda the legislation to the House. Rep. Vinson, D-Ga., armed services chairman, plans to have the bill ready for a house test by Feb. 26. Opponents are claiming they can kill it. Basically the plan calls for six months of military training for all eligible males soon after their 18th birthdays, followed by seven and a half years in the reserves. In full operation the program would take in some 800,000 boys a year. The program could not take ef fect until Congress by law or the President by executive order had ended the present draft of youths below the age of 19 or had redu ced their term of service. After that happened the UMT program could be started by the President or Congress. Military officials wanted but did not get from the committee a provision for up to a year and a half in the regular armed services after the trainees complete the UMT course. In general the measure follows the lines of a plan submitted by a Commission headed by Former Senator James Wadsworth of New York. The Commission got the planning job under the bill passed last year in which Congress ad opted the principle of UMT. W.
