Oregon Purchase
Of Distilleries
Under Cross Fire
Salem, Ore., March 2 W Ore.
eon's legislative liquor Investigate
ing committee today contrasted
conflicting testimony on the
Washington - Oregon purchase of
two KentueKy distilleries, includ
ing State Treasurer Leslie Scott's
flat charge of "manipulation of ac
counts." Scott said he always had been
suspicious of the legality of the
1943 liquor purchase and contend
ed the liquor commissions of the
two states "showed lacK 01 acu
men" in dealing with Harry E.
Collin of Toledo, O., who held op
lions on the distilleries.
"It looks suspiciously like there
has been a mysterious shrinkage
of credits and what I consider a
' manipulation of accounts," Scott
said. And referring to tne investi
gations, he suid the two legisla
tures should have worked In con
cert rather than separately In get
ting all the facts.
Issue Cleared
Secretary of State Robert S.
Farrell, Jr., also a member of the
Oregon state board of control au
thorizing the purchases with Scott,
said the attorney general had
cleared legality of the purchase
and he knew of no irregularities.
Scott said he based his charges
on two audits made of the Water-
nii ar mazier anu nawnan uikiii-1
leries purchase, one by S. E. Rat-,
lif f, chief examiner of the division
of departmental audits of Wash-'
ington, the other by the Ray H.
Leshcr company of Portland. He
said both reports showed dlsap
pea ranee of certain credits
amounting to $30,000 and in-'
creased liability amounting to
about $150,000.
The commissions bought the
two distilleries in December, 1943,
then sold them back to Collin. I

ByStateP.U.D.
. Salem, Ore., March 2 IP The I
going began to look rougher to
day for the "P. U. D." bill, (SB
62) which would prevent people's
utility districts from acquiring
utility facilities outside of their
own area, after a public hearing
by the house utilities committee
last night.
Strong objections to the bill.
and to its emergency clause, were
presented by pud representatives
and the Oregon grange.
The bill resulted from an at
tempted bond issue In Hood River
in 1943, in which a contemplated
purchase of a number of north
western utilities was defeated
narrowly by a vote of the people.
Clatsop county representatives,
Sen. Merle R. Chessman, father
of the bill, Rep. Fred Hellberg,
and Dr. Orval Eaton, mayor of
Astoria, appeared for the bill. One
amendment suggested by Eaton
would prevent discrimination
against one citv in a PUD system;
and would allow municipalities to
vote on an issue separately.
Tompkins Speaker
Morton Tompkins, state grange
master, said that if "the bill is to
curb promotional deals" such as
tne one at Hood Kiver twnere evl
dence showed Promoter Guy Mey
ers due to gain more than a mil
lion dollars),- "then make it do
that but don't cripple the PUDs."
Tunis wyers, Hood Kiver pud
attorney, said that he was famil
iar with the deal of which the bill
is a result, and that "it's nothing
to be afraid of."
The bill is "clearly unconstitu-'
tional," he said, and pointed out
two attorney generals' opinions to
that effect. He also stated that the
bill as drawn would "force a series
of small PUDs, where one Inte
grated system would serve all
most eficiently." .
Another main objection to the
bill was the provision that all
agents and engineers fees must be
paid for by ad valorem taxes. This
would work a hardship on oper
ating PUDs, opponents said, be
cause they cannot levy taxes when
operating, qn revenues.- ,

Tacoma, Wash., March 2 IIP) :
Although an inquest jury failed to
find evidence of criminal negli
gence in the death of 19 persons
who died in the disasterous Mae-
fair apartments fire Feb. 17, cor
oner Paul Mellinger said today he
would press for legislation re
quiring automatic fire alarm sys
tems for public buildings.
"I plan to send Gov. Mon Wall-
gren a copy of the jury's findings
in support of legislation pending
which I believe will prevent a re
currence of Tacoma's most tragic
lire, Mellinger said.
Rep.' Dwight Bunnell, Pierce
county, previously had introduced
a bill calling for automatic alarms
in dwelling places housing six
families or more, in all rooming
houses where 10 or more persons
reside and in all apartment
houses, hotels and public places.
The provisions of the bill are
almost Identical with a recom
mendation brought in-by the cor
oner's jury following the inquest
yesterday.
Jury Adds Note
In spite of its failure to dis
oyeV evidence of criminal negli
bence the jury added:
"There are many buildings in
Tacoma in which tenants are not!
adequately protected from fire be
cause of the lack of automatic
alarm systems."
Fire chief C. J. Eisenbacher
testified that the high loss of
life could be attributed directly to
a delay In summoning the fire
department and to the panic
which prevented tenants from
evacuating the blazing building
"as they could have if they hadn't
lost their heads."
Although Mellinger expressed
satisfaction over the jury's re
commendation, he said' he was
disappointed that none of the 22
witnesses could shed light on the
origin of the fire.

Every day commissary crews stock a fleet of Great

necessary to provide thousands of meals each 24

A full-stocked Empire Builder dining car requires
more than 700 different items. This means that
Great Northern must watch its ration points like a
careful housewife. Too, it demands teamwork be
tween the General Superintendent of Dining Cars
and the man who buys the food. Ingenious men,
these two!
Providing the railway's patrons the best possible

one and only idea behind our wartime menu.
