BY DRY LAW POLICY Continued irum Page One) agricultural problem, and who did not oven have it presented to him at the time he wrote his decision, means from the grape industry standpoint nothing less than to morally outlaw the vast vineyard Industry of the state of California. "Growers were not parties to the TJkiah case. No agricultural co-op erative was involved and there was no way for the co-operative organi sations of grape growers to Intervene In the Uklah proceeding, Involving as It did, criminal charges. Judge Otis wrote a thesis on the general subject without having the growers' or the agricultural marketing facts before him, and I regret that the department of Justice has broadcast throughout the United States copies of his opinion, and has adopted In Its orders to field agents ttie extreme and extraneous 'comments of the Judge's dictum on questions not fully before him. Decision Comes Late "If this changed governmental at titude represents the proper inter pretation of the law, such a provision should have been taken from the very beginning and not after millions of dollars had been expended In new acreage; with the proper belief that the industry was morally as well as practically lawful. Manifestly, nei ther the grower nor consumer can ever be assured of their respective legal rights governing the sale of grape Juice and its home manufac ture Into 'non -intoxicating fruit Juice under Section 29 If the law Is so Indefinite as to permit different and wholly contrary Interpretation of It whenever a new public official assumes office." The Judge Otis decision to which Conn referred was given at Kansas City last October. It was hinged on Section 29, Article 2 of the national prohibition act, reading: The penalties provided In this ohapter against the manuracture of liquor without a permit shall not apply to a person manufacturing non-Intoxicating cider and fruit Juices exclusively for use In his home but such cider and fruit Juices shall not be Bold or delivered except to persons having permits to manufac ture vinegar. trees Manor Plan In lieu of the Volstead act Conn urges advocacy of a "national liquor plan" to be enacted by congress alter the eighteenth amendment has been repealed or modified. He offered his plan as a part of a "long time pro gram of rehabilitation" of the grape Industry. It would permit tfie re stricted manufacture of wines for use in homes and hotels under lim ited conditions. Sales to domestic trade wouid be by coupon by bonded stores operating under operators per mits. Issued by the United States treasury department. For domestic consumption "in such states whose laws are not incompatible therewith" bevernees would be of only such al coholic strength as can be produced by natural fermentation. This would exclude the addition of fortifying material or foreign substance to in crease the "kick." Quantity restriction now applicable to nyslclans' prescriptions ior me dicinal whiskey, wine, brandy and rum would be eliminated. Would Provide Revenue Unlimited fermentation or distilla tion of surplus agricultural crops and the exportation of the resultant products to forelen countries would be permitted. Conn estimated his p:an would provide 500.000,000 of tax receipts annually. Under present Conditions, he declared, approximate' ly loo,000 000 gallons of wine is sold in the nation yearly compared to 62,000.000 sftilons prior to enactment of prohibition. He likewise awertd a eontrlbut iii cause of the present depressed price of trfh graphs 1 due to a fail ure of ifleral and s.ate government to suppress racketeering at larger market.

The resolu tion reads: "We, your committee on necrology, think It Is fitting that some special record should be made by the coun cil of the death of E, carton Plckel, our beloved associate, who will meet with us no more, his death having occurred March 1, 1932. "Few medical men In the state have been so long, so generally and so favorably known as Dr. Plckel. We shall greatly miss him from the meetings of this council and of the state society. He has been a familiar figure In these meetings for so many years. "He was president of the Oregon State Medical society in 1007. but had been a regular attendant long before that. For several years he was a member of the state board of health, and has held many posi tions of honor in our profession, "His kindly and genial manner, as well as his wise counsels and high professional attainments, have always made htm a welcome guest a't any medical assembly. "It requires unusual and sterling qualities to enable a man, living remote from any great medical center to acquire and hold so strong a position In the whole profession of the state as did E. Barton Plckel. "We extend to the bereaved fam ily the heartfelt sympathy of this body and recommend that this spec ial resolution be made a part of the minutes of this council, and that copy of the same be sent to the family of our departed member and friend.

(Signed) JULIUS L. MEIER, "Governor." FOR NEW TRIAL OF REED'S CASE Arguments on a motion for a new trial for Albert W. Reed, Denver, serv ing a life term in state prison for conviction of complicity In the slay ing of Victor Knott, Ashland police man, last November, were started in circuit court this morning before Circuit Judge H. D. Norton. The short time remaining In which to file an appeal to the state supreme court, and a desire of the court to dispose of all new trial motions at once, resulted In ttie speedy action. Judge Norton expects to give a decision within the week on both the Reed and the Fehl libel suit cases. Following the hearing of the argu ments the court will devote the next month to preparing opinion and rulings that have been accumulating on bis desk for the past two months during the Jury term. Reed is represented by Attorney Qua Newbury and the state by Dis trict Attorney George A, Codding. The defense bases Its plea for new trial upon three main conten-1 tlons: The alleged misconduct of Mrs. Myrtle GeBauer of this city, a Jury woman; the discovery of new evidence, strengthening the alibi of fered by Reed that the murder was committed by his two traveling com panions Paul McQuade and Lee Jackson also of Denver; and attack ing the credibility of the testimony of Ray Laymon, Ashland policeman and Knott's partner on the night of the murder, chief Identifying witness for the state. The defense Introduced nine affi davits in support of lta plea, and the state 14 counter affidavits resisting the motion. The defense In Its exception to the Instructions of the court con tends that error at law was commit ted In referring to the Anderson, Cal., burglary the night before the murder. Reed claimed he was not present at this erlme, but knew of lta commission and icelved his share of the loot. According to an affidavit filed Sat urday by O. 8. Butterfleld of this GOVERNOR'S UKASE city, foreman f the Reed Jury, the first ballot taken by the Jury was unanimous for conviction. The Jury was out 19 hours.
