On Conditions
PORTLAND, Jan. 18-;P)-Tbe
Normandy Manor, new supper
club in Salem, was granted a
restaurant liquor service license
today by the Oregon liquor con
trol commission, but only. on two
conditions.
Commissioners specified that
minors can dine at the club only
in their parents' company and
that the owners, Michael and
Eva E. Flax, cancel beer licenses
for their other Salem properties.
After the meeting Flax cancelled
licenses for a downtown estab
lishment. An hour-long debate. In which
a group of property owners pro
tested the application, preceded
the decision. Walter Lamkin, Sa
lem attorney and spokesman for
the property owners, argued that
a school is less than two blocks
from the club and that the Farm
ers Union wants to build a hos
pital on land adjoining the prem
ises. Commission Chairman George
P. Lilley said the license was
granted on recommendation of
Marion county commissioners.

tions to ease the release of men
