Lounges Must
Serve Food
Portland UJ9 Oregon cock
tail lounge operators today fac
ed low of their license unless
they serve food to liquor-by-the-drink
patrons who want It.
The Oregon Liquor Control
Commission, at its meeting here
yesterday, said there had been
too much sidestepping of the
requirement in the liquor-by-the-drlnk
law that food be
cooked and served in establish
ments dispensing hard liquor.
Operators failing to comply
with that section oi tne law
will not get new licenses for
1094, the Commission said.
Chairman William Spangler
said, however, that licensees
would be given a hearing be
fore licenses were revoked.
Commission inspectors re
ported that some outlets simply
kept a few frozen steaks ana
shrimps in the backroom and
a chefs cap for one of the em
ployes to wear whenever an in
spector dropped in.
Commissioner Lester Ireland
said "We've been barking long
nough; it's time to bite."
Oregon law has permitted
gale of liquor-by-the-drlnk
since May 11 but required that
bars and cocktail lounges be
part of a legitimate restaurant
business.

anaounced Thursday.
Thornton ruled that the State
Board of Control had no au
thority to buy land for the In
stitution under the terms of the
act, and, at the asm time, ex
pressed "serious doubt" about
the legality of the entire bill
passed by the 1B53 legisla
ture. The attorney general said the
act failed to spell out a stand
ard or yardstick. It does not
y whether the institution
would be used for boys or for
girls and does not say between
what ages inmates would be
admitted, be said. Neither does
it specify limits of terms to be
served.
Thornton pointed out that
the attorney general does not
have the authority to rule a
legislative act unconstitutional.
but he said he felt it was his
duty to raise the question.
"I fully realize, Thornton
said, "that the problem of msk

of today Is perhaps the great
est challenge of our time In the

to interpret the law rather than
to make, if
Enemies Purged
By Malenkov
New York VP) The purge
of possible enemies by Soviet
Premier Georgl Malenkov and
party boss Niklta Khrushchev
continues, carrying with it
overtones of personal venge
ance and strong Indications
that the men of Moscow-cen
tered Great Russia are crack
ing down.
Moscow dispatches Wednes
day .night revealed that
Khrushchev, fresh from rid
ding Leningrad 10 days ago of
It party chlftaln V. M. An-
drianov, now has settled an old
personal score down in Armenia.
He sent a favorite hatchet
man, Peter N. Pospelov, to the
Trans -Caucasian republic to
boot out the entire Armenian
party leadership.
Special disgrace was re
served for the long-time Ar
menian party leader, G. A. Ar
utiunov. He was fired and ex
pelled from the central com
mittee.
Probably Arutiunov has also
been arrested. He and hia co
horts are charged with harbor
ing henchmen of Lavrenty P.
Beria, Malenkov' top deputy
until his downfall-and arrest
last summer.

Executive Aim
At Surcharge
Portland l Public and
private utility executives to
day sought to iron out com
plex details delaying an agree
ment to eliminate aurcharges
on customers' electric bills.
A meeting of the two groups
with the Bonneville Power
Administration was postponed
yesterday until further study
can be made, but the delay
was not expected to be a long
plans would require
BPA to assume control of
steam generation plants when
ever stream flow was so low
that private companies would
have to use more steam pow
er than that provided in their
Bonneville contracts.
Bonneville would then re
pay the steam plant owners
later in kilowatts. Private
utility customers would be
saved the cost of surcharges
levied last winter to defray
the cost of expensive steam
generation. Public utility cus
tomers were spared the extra
costs during the controversial

Records show that accidents
Involving intoxicated drivers
throughout the state increas
ed 33 per cent during the last
two weeks of the month. It
was also shown by these same
records that accidenta Involv

drivers, a till outnumbered

Nevertheless, state safety
Inspectors say that in urban,
areas alone the increase in

motorists jumped 37 per cent.
Only in rural areas was the,
reverse irue. . mere, records
Indicated a 20 ner tent H.
crease in accidents involving
drinking drivers.
The safety division' warned
that these figures may not re
flect the real incidence of in
volvement of liquor in De
cember accidents since the
figures do not come from po
lice arrest but from reports
filed by the drivers.
Frequently, 1 n v e s tigating
officers note that a drive in
volved in an accident ha been
drinking but is not sufficient
ly intoxicated to make an
arrest that will stand up in
court. When this happens.
safety men say the offending
driver quit obviously will not
report hi own indiscretion to
state accident authorities.
Stringent enforcement of
the no-drinking and driving
law, am public recentment of
anyon arrested and convicted
on drunk driving charge arc
the two things safety officials
feel would do the most toward
eliminating the drinking
driver hazard from the street
and highways of the atat. ' t
