Shelton, Gordon McNear and Eby Shelton, all of Sweet Home, defendants who pleaded innocent at a hearing before the liquor commission charging proprietors of the Midway Grocery near Sweet Home of selling beer to teen-agers. Probe Sale of Beer to Minors Victims of Crash Tragedy By WILLIAM WARREN Albany, Ore. U.R An Ore-' gon liquor control commission hearing opened here today to determine if the license oi a grocery store should be revok ed for allegedly selling beer to six 'teenagers before an acci dent February 9 claimed the lives of four of them. Two girls who survived the accident testified they "thought the Midway Grocery, located about one mile east of Sweet Home, was the place where they purchased 12 bottles of beer. The operators of the grocery, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil B. Shelton and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Mc Near, pleaded innocent to charges of selling beer to a minor. Darlene Van Dehey, 16, ac companied state police Wednes day- night and said she "thought" the Midway Grocery was where the beer was pur chased. She was also shown other stores, but said she be lieved none of them was the place. Carol Ann Whinery, 16. who also escaped death, testified she was positive the Midway gro cery was where the beer was purchased. But the store's proprietors de nied selling beer to the young sters. Killed in the accident when the youths' car plunged into Crabtree creek north of Leba non were Glenn Smith, 19, driv er: William Owen Wooton, Ger ald Thomas Zerkel and Marjorie Vouble, all from the Lebanon area. The other girls escaped by swimming to shore. : State Policeman William F, Newell, who investigated the ac- cident, said empty beer bottles were found inside the car. Petitions Filed (Continued from Page 1) The committee dispatched a message to Gen. Eisenhower, lol lowing the filing of the petitions, informing him that "his friends in Oregon will make up in the earnestness and sincerity of their effort for any political handicap he might suffer by remaining at his post of duty." The committee declared that the general's personal convic tions are clear from his many public declarations as a world respected soldier-statesman, as a private citizen and as president of Columbia university. "This record is not colored by what is supposed to be political expediency In a presidential campaign" the committee said. Indicating plans for an inten sif led, campaign in behalf of the general candidacy, the commit tee declared that it will bring Eisenhower's record clearly to the voters of Oregon. "He does not need even a week to campaign in Oregon," the statement concluded, "because what he is and what he stands for have already been defined by his devotion to duty, his ere ative work for growing, vigorous democracy rooted, in the united effort of the average men and women who are today asking for his leadership, and In a record of broad and unselfish service to the nation achieved by few Americans In our history." Eisenhower's name was the second to be filed as republican candidate for president, the first being that of Gen. Douglas Mac. Arthur, filed early this week. Last August, before Eisen hower made known his republi can party affiliation, petitions were filed to place his name on the democratic ballot, but his name was withdrawn from the democratic ballot at the request of his democratic sponsors. . Clargett Files Charles W Claggett, 1511 North Summer street, Salem mortician, Wed nesday afternoon filed his dec laration of candidacy for coron er for Marion county with the Marion county clerk. He made his announcement earlier in the week. The hearing was conducted In the Linn county courthouse be fore Carl Glos, hearing exam iner for the liquor commission.

ALFRED MfJNDT City Recorder Salem. Oregon Feb. 14, II, 24, Uch. t, U, 1811 I Elfstrom to Run for House Robert L. Elfstrom, chairman of the Oregon Liquor Control commission Thursday announc ed his candidacy for state repre sentative from Marion county. If elected, he would resign his liquor commission post. Elfstrom, who served two terms as mayor of the city of Sa lem, said that when he accepted the chairmanship of the liquor commission, he had an under standing with Governor Douglas McKay that upon completion of certain major assignments he would retire. He said that it has become in creasingly apparent that some of the objectives of the governor for effective liquor control can not be accomplished without amendments to the Knox law. I believe that I can be more effective in securing these amendments as a member of the legislature than as chairman of the commission," Elfstrom said. Elfstrom has been a merchant and contractor in Salem since 1932. In addition to being ex mayor, he is past president of the League of Oregon Cities, the Salem Rotary club and the Cas cade area, Boy Scouts. He is a director of the Salem YMCA, the Salem General hospital and the Salem Senators ball club. He Is also a trustee of Willamette uni versity and was recently hon ored as Salem's first citizen for 1951.
