Crop a Record
Chicago, May 5 A winter
wheat crop in excess of one bil

day by C. M. Galvin, crop expert

vested. Based on reports received
from several hundred field ob

of 1,005.000.000 bushels. This
compared with the government s
April 1 estimate of 973.000,

been ample to build up a deep
subsoil moisture that will sus
tain the plant for a long period
should dry weather develop,"
Galvin said.

Gouge Damage
Suit on Trial
Oregon City, Ore., May 5
(Special) Leonard Gouge, Sil
verton tavern owner, lost the
first round in his false arrest
suit against Marion County
Sheriff Denver Young, District
Attorney Miller Hayden and the
Continental Casualty company
when Circuit Judge Earl C. La
tourette ruled that a receipt
from the state liquor commis
sion for a license did not consti
tute a license upon which the
applicant could operate a tavern.
Judge Latourette cited a su
preme court decision in the Bain
case wherein Jack Bain, former
member of the state legislature,
had obtained a receipt for his
license fee from the liquor com
mission but later had been de
nied a license from the com
mission. Fifteen points of law In the
plaintiff's reply to the defend
ant's, answer were ruled upon,
the majority being minor.
II developed during the two
hour hearing thai the plaintiff
will contend that the district at
torney participated iti the arrest
under the cloak of his office
and his action were therefore
illegal.
Gouge was arrested for oper
ating a beer tavern without a
livenso on January 22, 1045. His
suit against the Marion county
officers was dismissed in the
justice court in Silverton and
was appealed to the suprema
ourl. Circuit Judges Page and
Duncan hot h disqual if ird them
selves with the result that the
case was transferred to Clacka
mas county. No date has been
set for hearing the arguments in
the case.
