Drunkita Parties
"It was the custom, prior to
my taking over the prison" the
warden said, "for the prison

Saturday night. We have de
stroyed 400 gallons of pruno
since last April.
The warden said that he had
been told, and had every rea

port, that $10,000 was collected
by this convict leader and
spirited out of this institution.
When asked if this leader
was still in control Warden
Gladden replied. "He's in a spot
where he can't control any
one. But he was one of the
smartest men I ever met, vir
tually a genius."
Gladden said that this con
vict leader even controlled a
deputy warden, not named.

CAA Criticized
By State Board
. Oregon's state board of aero
nautics criticized the civil aero
nautics administration yester
day for what one member
termed "false economy" moves
In closing Oregon activities.
Dr. W. M. Peare, a board
member from La Grande, said
at the regular weekly meeting
of the board that Oregon has
"borne the brunt of false eco
nomy moves by the CAA."
He referred to closure of the
airport traffic control tower at
Salem and the planned closure
October 31 of the communica-
tions station at La Grande.
"This was done in the guise of
economy," Dr. Peare said, "but
the fact is that the personnel
and safety sections of the CAA
budget were cut less than one
per cent."
He said congressional com
mlteemen had directed that the
reduction be made in the high
er echelons, not in the field.
The Board called for a "thor
ough investigation" of the CAA
by proper authorities of Con
gress and by aviation officials
"to the end of maintaining all
safety measures and services
and extending same."

San Francisco (Special)
Control of re-sala prices of
power by the Department of
Interior, a practice that has
been followed la the past, will
be discontinued, Secretary of
the Interior Douglas McKay an
nounced Friday speaking at a
nooa-day meeting of the Conv
monwealth clnb here. '
McKay said that In the past
the department, in negotiating
contracts for sale of electric
energy, has in most cases in
sisted upon elaborate contract
provisions for the control by
the department of the resale
rates of agencies purchasing
the energy.
"Especially this has applied
to public agencies, municipal
ties and cooperative organiza
tions which operate on a non
profit basis and for the benefit
of the users, and whose rates
fixed by the laws of the states,
McKay said.
Left to States
"It is desirable that govern
ment energy should be resold
at rates which are reasonable
and nondiscriminatory, but we
see little . reason to presume
that the department of the in
terior is better equipped to
maintain this standard than
are the officers and managers
oi outer public agencies.
"Therefore," McKay declar
ed, "the department will not
hereafter Insist on controlling
the retail rates of power which
it sells to public bodies and co
operatives.
However Secretary McKay
said that in contracts with pri
vately owned utilities, a clause
will be included to safecuard
the interests of the customers
of these utilities.

Constitution Must Be
Submitted to Voters
No proposal for a new state
Constitution can be submitted
to the people except by a con

ney General Robert Y. Thorn

The ruling was in an opin
ion to State Representative
Mark O. Hatfield of Marion
county who had naked if the
legislature could submit an en
tire new constitution to the
people without using the pro
cedure of a constitutional con
vention.
"The legislature has author

Patterson charged the board

by the four cities involved.

The petition pointed out
that only one carrier is al

No Rain in Sight
Until Next Week
Little or no rain Is in sight
until next week, the five-day
forecast calling . for possibly
some showers by Monday or
Tuesday. The period will bring
about normal temperatures.
Salem area missed out on any
more showers through Thurs
day night The maximum for
the day was a cool 73. Slightly
warmer temperatures are due
through Friday and Saturda, a
high of 85 being called for to
morrow. The Willamette river contin
ues to drop gradually and the
local gauge measured -3.4 feet
this morning.
af study appointed by the last
legislature "can not be deemed
a commission with power
equal to that of a constitution
al convention."
In view of the fact that this
committee was created by reso
lution and such a resolution is
not a law "it Is clear that the
legislature had no other pur
pose than to obtain the advice
of the committee," Thornton
said.
"It did not contemplate that
the findings of the committee
would appear in any form oth
er than a report to the 4Bth
legislative assembly. In any
event no proposal for a new
constitution can be submitted to
the people except by a consti
tutional convention celled as
provided by the existing con
stitution of Oregon."

Spreckels Heir
Beats Up Wife
Newport Beach, Calif. )
Sugar heir Adolph Spreckels
II was jailed last night on sus
picion of beating his fifth for
mer wife, actress Kay Will
lams, so severely that she had
to be taken to a hospital.
The beating took place Wed
nesday but the story didn't
leak out until detectives
booked the 41-year-old mil
lionaire. Neighbors said Miss
Williams, 36, suffered head
and body injuries when
knocked to the ground by
blows from her own shoe.
The actress, who divorced
Spreckels last year on grounds
of physical abuse, leased an
apartment here to be near her
children, Joan and Adolph III,
who are staying with their fa
ther In his nearby Balboa Is
land home, friends said.
Under state law, all dairies
selling milk and cream in Ore
gon are required to be licensed
by the department. Exceptions
are only those licensed by
cities having their own milk
ordinance and then these must
meet state standards.
Each milk source on the de
partment's approved list Is in
spected regularly for compli
ance with state sanitation
standards and the dairy cows
are tested regularly for bang's
snd tuberculosis, and two dis
eases which msy be transmit
ted to human beings if milk
is not properly protected.
Manpower, money and time
are devoted constantly to sup
plying wholesome milk to Ore

milk of questionable character,
