Page Six THE REGISTER. GU ABD, EDGEKE, OREGON LAYS DOWN HOST OF PORTLAND, Dec. 21. W) With t Kinldn, bnld stroke, not generally predicted, the Oreuon liquor control commission has ruled that after Jan uary 1, dmi: stores and groceries in cities of S.IXKI population or more must discontinue sale of draft beer. In such cities drug stores may sell bottle beer which they can open and dispense at counters. Grocers how ever, will be permitted to sell pnckaKe beer only, and it may not be consum ed on the premises. The commission further announced that consideration was being given a proposal to ban beer sales on Sunday from 1 a. m. to 6 p. m. The ruling was promulgated by Hie commission in what was described as a move to "eliminate the beer snloon In residential districts." That It would meet with vigorous and consolidated opposition of drug gists' and grocers' organization! was a foregone conclusion. In some quar ters it was suggested the commission may have lsBticd the order on a "ten tative" basis as it has been known to do heretofore, reversing its earlier judgment if p'.blic sentiment runs strongly against the proposal. George L. Snmmis, liquor control hoard administrator, said the regula tion curtailing drug store and grocery store operations had been issued in re sponse to protests that many such places were being turned into saloons, and that the fact thnt many women and children are compelled by neces sity to visit these places must not be lost sight of. Whatever the outcome, the liquor commission Is at least temporarily withholding action on all drug store and grocery applications for beer li censes for lO.'iri. Sammis explained that under the current ruling, grocery stores in towns of less than 5,(MX) population will not be given a retail beer license. The drug store order applies weth er or not lunches are aerved In the place. Sammis said as long as the meals are served in the drug store the place is termed a "drug store," and not a "restaurant." One drug store operator here mentioned, how ever, that the state collects a "restau rant" tax for drug atores serving meals. Roadhouses also were hit by the new order of things. No license will be issued to such an . out-of-Kwn place "where the principal business is entertainment or the serving of al coholic beverages or where dancing ii permitted," the commission ruled. Roadhouses may qualify for restau rant licenses to serve beer and light wine to customers seated at tables, but the drinks must be served with bona tido meBla. Another contlition is that dancing must be "incidental" to the business and that there be no charge for dancing. TRAIN SENATE'S BIG GUNS ON ARMS MAKERS!

Fletcher out of the chairmanship of the repub lican national committee ran into a tone wall today when it became known poll of the committee showed 48 of the 48 elates' representatives gainst the reorganization move.

Rorah hail contended a reorganiza tion in 1!.'MI would he too late. Flet cher was said to have challenged his foes to force a committee meeting un der the Ill-stale rule If they had the strength they claimed.

P n PORTLAND, Dec. 21. OP) J. W. Seavey, hop grower und broker, said today a survey by the trade indicates less than S0.H00 bales of 1934 hops remain unsold on the Pacific coast. Of this total Oregon has about 25. 000 bales; Washington, '30,000, and Californio, 25.000. There is a slow demand for hops al though the price for the 1034 crop Is from M to 12 cents a pound here. The P,KW holdover is said to be virt ually unsalable, although Seavey sold two carloads of the 103a crop recently for 5 cents a pound. About 45,000 bales of these are stored on the coast. Senvey laid the slump in hop quota tions to a beer consumption volume of only half that predicted for 1034. Although brewers had declared 70, 000,000 barrels of beer would be con sumed this year, but 35.000,000 bar rels were used by retailers. The ten-cent price for a glass, and flic high price of bottled beer, Seavey said, has led to the disappointment of brewers, wholesalers, retailers and hop growers. SALEM. Dec. 21.
