ill Resigns
Legislative Job
State Rep. Earl Hill, Cushman,
Lane county, is resigning today
from the state legislature in or
der that he may continue to
serve on the state fish commis
sion, Governor Earl Snell an
nounced this afternoon.
Hill's action follows Tuesday's
supreme court decision holding
that no legislator may hold an
administrative position. The ef
fect of the court's decision 's
to remove Hill from the fish
commission, but to permit him
to hold his legislative seat.
Governor Snell said that Hill,
with whom he had lunch today,
had decided to resign from the
legislature today, and the gov
ernor said he would reappoint
Hill to the fish commission "as
of today."
A 1947 legislative act will
prohibit Hill's legislative seat
from being filled until the No
vember, 1948 general election,
unless a special session should
be held before then. In the lat
ter event, the Lane county court
would appoint a successor.
If Hill wants to serve in the
1949 legislature, he could run
at the next election. If elected
then he would have to quit the
fish commission in order to
serve in the legislature.
Hill Is one of the veteran
members of the house, having
been active in taxation and
highway matters. He was one of
the fathers of the 1947 sales tax
bill, which will be submitted
to the voters at the October 7
special election. He also is di
recting the campaign in behalf
of the measure.
Governor Snell was believed
to have urged Hill to remain on
the fish commission, because the
governor told reporters that
Hill "has performed valuable
services on the commission and
I'd hate to lose the services of
such an outstanding man."

Logging
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Gurske said that what
made the accident rate in lum
bering industry more alarming
was the fact that only 12 percent
of the total man hours reported
by all industries were reported
from the lumber industry. This,
he said, was due to stoppage of
work because of inclement
weather.
T. Morris Dunne, commission
er, told the conference that at
present there are 86,000 men
employed in the lumber indus
try, compared to 33,000 during
the middle of the war period
and 43.000 in 1941.

Schools Ready to Open
Teacher-Shortage Exists
The Salem public schools are as nearly ready to begin the 1947
48 term next Monday as could be expected under the continued
shortage of teachers, reported Superintendent Frank B. Bennett
during Tuesday night s session
of the board of directors. How
ever, he has succeeded filling
all teaching assignments with
one or two exceptions and will
be in a position to find substi
tutes if necessary. He stated that
he expected a heavy enrollment
in the first and second grades
and had been able to partly an
ticipate where the greatest loads
would fall.
A policy of dismissing the first
and second grades at 2:45 in
stead of 2:30 each afternoon was
adopted, the superintendent ex
plaining that a schedule of this
nature would fit In with the
transportation program. Author
ization was given to purchase
three additional new buses and
a policy in connection with the
use of the machines will be set
up. Application from a local
church to use one of the buses
for the transportation of Sunday
scnool children was turned
down because the board did not
want to establish a precedent.
Resignations of faculty mem
bers were accepted from Mrs.
Lydia Isom, Emmett Richard,
Joy Randall Johnson and Doreen
Shogren. Upon the recommen
dation of the superintendent the
following were elected: Robert
Dow, C. C. Harvey and W. L.
Seeley for Parrish; John Black,
Richmond; Jerry Sullivan, sen
ior high; Lillian Todd, half
time, West Salem; Caroline
Berglund, McKinley; W i 1 m a
Wallace, Washington; Sarah
Hanten, Highland.
The board agreed to cooper
ate in the paving of a portion of
Mill street which borders on
Richmond school.
Several bids for fuel oils, gas
oline and various greases were
opened and referred to the sup
plies committee for action.
Liquor Deals
(Continued from Page 1)
During the latter part of 1946,
the Oregon commission believed
that the liquor supply was ex
tremely uncertain. Therefore,
between August and December
the commission purchased ap
proximately 8000 barrels of
aged whiskey in bond in addi
tion to its normal purchases ot
cased merchandise. The commis
sion paid $10.75 a gallon for the
bonded liquor, which was
bought outright from a -number
of dealers.
When the state legislature
convened this year, and receiv
ed the commission report, "it
viewed with considerable alarm
the large inventory being car
ried by the commission." The
result was that the commission
was directed by legislative ac
tion to deposit in the general
welfare fund one million dollars
a month for the next twenty
four months.
Legislative Order
This order the commission
could not obey because of its
financial condition. Exploring
the distilled spirits market, the
commission found that in July
there had been a considerable
decrease in prices. The commis
sion was unable to dispose of its
bulk spirits without suffering a
heavy loss.
The government report con
tinues:
'As a result, numerous dis
cussions were held with repre
sentatives of distillers and trade
dealers, and the commission de
cided to make an offer to the
vendors. The commission decld
ed to sell all of its bulk spirits
to the vendors . , . and finally
entered into contracts with all
except Seagrams, which firm re
fused to accept any contracts
the commission offered."
Seagrams Refused
Seagrams had good reason to
refuse. When the commission
proposed that it buy a large
amount of the high priced bond
ed whiskey, Seagrams asked an
opinion from the alcohol tax
unit. The answer was that such
a transaclion would be illegal.
The federal alcohol adminis
tration act prohibits purchase
of liquor on consignment, con
ditional sales, or sales made with
the privilege of return. It au
thorizes only bona fide sales,
that is, outright purchases.
But in contracting with dis
tillers to purchase the 8000 bar
rels of bonded liquor at a price
above the market, the commis
sion agreed to buy large amounts
of cheaper grade whiskey dur
ing the next two years.
The distillers who agreed to
the transaction did so because
t meant large future sales to
Oregon, even though a loss
would be taken on that bonded
goods.
Text of Contract
The contract offered one dis
tiller by the commission was
as follows:
The distiller will purchase
from the commission 2000 bar
rels of the bonded whiskey at
$10.75 per gallon, the price the
commission originally paid for
it before the market fell.
The commission, in return,
will purchase from the distiller
12,500 cases of whiskey per
month for 24 months, or a total
of 300,000 cases.
The distiller would lose on
the deal, but he would have i
satisfied customer in Oregon,
Thursday, Sept. 11, 194717
-
and be favored in future com
mission purchases.
Distillers Implicated
Contracts were negotiated or
submitted by the commission to
Watcrfill and Frazer, Chicago;
Mid Valley Distilling Corp.,
Archibald, Pa.; Glenmore Dis
tillers Co., Louisville; Conti
nental Distilling Corp., Philadel
phia; Kinsey Distilling Corp.,

ing Co., New York; Burke Bro
thers, Boston; Louisville Distill
ers, Louisville; Fleishman Dis
tilling Co., New York; National
Distillers Products Co., and
Schenley Distillers, New York.
"It is quite possible for us to
proceed against a monopoly
state, such as Oregon, under
these circumstances," a revenue
official stated. "It is also possi
ble for us to move against the
licenses of the distillers involv
ed. A final decision as to our
action will soon be made."
