CLAIM OF ERROR
IN MURDER TRIAL
Decision Ends Recourse to
State Courts Judges
Deliberate But 15 Minutes
After Oral Arguments
SALEM, Dec. 28. (P) The appeal
of L. A. Banks from his second degree
murder conviction waa denied today
by the supreme court In refusing to
grant an application for certificate of
probable cauee.
The decision ended recourse to
state courts. Court Clerk Arthur Ben
son stated.
Banks waa convicted In the Lane
county circuit court of murdering
Police Officer George Prescott at Med
ford. He was sentenced to life im
prisonment In the state penitentiary.
where he has remained pending ap
peal. Circuit Judge George P. Skipworth
was upheld by the oral order of the
court. The case was tried in the Lane
county circuit court on a change of
Tenue from Jacfcson county.
Attorneys Prank Lonergan of Port
land and Charles Hardy of Eugene
represented Banks in the appeal. The
state was represented by Attorney
General I. H. VanWlnkle.
The defense claimed errors were
committed In the trial. A certificate
of probable cause for retrial was de
nied by Judge Skipworth and today
denied by the supreme court where It
was appealed, aiier tne juages nsa de
liberated 15 minutes.
Above action by the state supreme
court means that Banks has no
eround for probable cause upon which
to base an appeal, but the ruling
has no bearing upon Banks right to
proceed with an appeal to the higher
eourt if he desires, according to .oca.
attorneys.
If the writ of probable cause had
Been granted by the high court,
Banks would have been amenable to
liberty upon bonds, pending a de
eision on the appeal, lawyers say. As
the matter now stands, he will remain
In state prison.
It is understood that Banks' coun
sel will now proceed with prepara
tion of their appeal.
Finances for Banks' legal efforts to
gain release from his cell are pro
vided by Charles P. Moran of Cleve
land, Ohio, a brother-in-law and long
time friend, it is said.
Mrs. Banks and daughter are now
jesldlng at Eugene, making visits to
the penitentiary on visitors day,
every two weeks.
Banks based the writ of probable
cause upon claims that he did not
"1 receive a "fair and impartial trial,"
that the court erred in ite instruc
tions to the Jury, that the state at
orney's characterization of Banks as
a moral coward, Riding behind his
wife's skirts." were prejudicial, and
that a woman bailiff was guilty of
misconduct In the handling of women
h Jurors.

IS COURT RULING
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. (UP)
The state supreme court today re
affirmed a prison sentence for Olive
Clark Day of Hollywood, convicted
of contributing to the delinquency
of, minors in providing young girls
for wealthy men at parties.
Ramifications of the sensational
case included trials in which Alex
ander Pantages, millionaire theater
man, and other wealthy southern
California residents, were Involved.
Mrs. Day appealed from a convic
tion at her second trial on October
18, 1932, in Los Angeles, alleging that
a young girl Involved In the morals
case. Clarice Tauber Plaudebo. was
not produced at the trial by the pros
ecution. The supreme court held that
a deposition given by the girl at her
rirst trial made her appearance un
necessary. "
Pantages, who once was tried and
convicted on a charge of attacking
Eunice Prlngle, and later was ac
quitted In a retrial, was arrested in
March, 1934, by San Diego authorities.
He was charged with moral offenses
against Alice Blake, a minor.
Mrs. Day, Jesse Shreve and William
Jobelmann were co-defendants with
Pantages. The state alleged that Mrs.
Day and Jobelmann took Miss Blake
and Helen Livingston to a San Diego
hotel where Pantages and Shreve al
legedly were guilty of misconduct.
The charges were dismissed when a
Jury failed to return a verdict after
deliberating for !0', hours. Pan
tages' acquittal In the second Prlngle
trial followed.
Subsequently, the state rearrested
Mrs. Day on a morals charge Involv
ing Clarice Tauber, who later mar
ried. Co-defendant was John P. Mills.
San Diego seal tor. Charges against
Mills were dismissed. Mrs. Day was
convicted.

fact-finding sessions,
E. O. Harlan, chairman and ad
ministrator of the control board, who

any other groups interested In the

them for reference. Figures on the
cost of production and distribution
of milk are what we want most."

ducers and to consumers will be set

Chairman of State Board
Outlines Plans City Of
ficials, Sheriffs Will Be
Consulted On Licenses
EUGENE, Ore., Dec. 28. (AP) A
measure of home rule will be granted
cities and counties in the Issuance
of licenses for permission to sell al
coholic liquors of 14 per cent and
under. It was revealed here today by
George H. McMorran, chairman of
the state liquor control commission
Mr. McMorran also declared that
no liquor stores would be Installed
in any community till the commis
sion had conferred wlth local author
ities. In Issuing licenses for the sale of
wines and beers, the commissioner
said that local governing units, city
councils in cases of Incorporated
cities, and county sheriffs for locali
ties outside cities, would be asked
to pass on the applications before
they reached the commission.
Councils and sheriffs know more
about the character of persona seek
ing licenses and their recommenda
tions should be obtained before any
licenses were issued, Mr. McMorran
said.
It was felt this policy of the com
mission will prevent undesirable per
sons from receiving licenses. In
many cities of the state, McMorran
said, complaints have been made re
garding certain beer parlora which
have degenerated Into "dives." The
question arose as to whether licenses
would be issued. over the protest of
local authorities, he said. He em
phasized the point that he believed
the commission would never counte
nance the sale of liquor where It con
flicted with the will of local au
thorities. T

IN COJI YEAR
Hopes to Prevail Upon Con
gress for Provision of
$800,000,000 Above Ordi
nary Operating Costs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. (AP)
High Democratic spokesmen described
President Roosevelt as determined
today to concentrate the primary at
tention of the 73rd congress upon a
budget designed to provide an 9800,
000,000 surplus above ordinary fed
eral operating costs In 1934-1935.
Although reconciled to a present
year deficit well above the billion
mark because of emergency expendi
tures, the administration was aald
to have art down tentative budget es
timates reading: Income, 93,400,000,
000; ordinary outgo, 92.600,000,000.
May Need Six Itlllton
The total to be requested of con
gress has been described in some
quarters as possibly reaching the 96,
000,000,000 mark, Including emer
gency spending. Sources close to
the administration, .however, spoke
of at tcast a partial "pay-as-you-go"
basis without major - tax boosts
through RFC loan repayments esti
mated to total another 9700,000.000.
As the president continued today
to shape his program for the coming
session, there were authoritative In
dications that he Intended to press
ahead with gold buying-commodlty
dollar plans.
Trade Balance Grows
Administration officials Interpre
ted late figures, showing American
foreign trade In November to have
the largest, favorable balance In
months, as at least a partial result
of the gold buying program, with Its
accompanying dollar depredation
abroad.
During November the dollar fell
from $4.70 to the pound to $5.50.
before returning to $5.13 on Decem
ber 1 . The dollar-franc trend waa
similar.
Meanwhile, although the contend
of the president's annual message
remained known only to him. It be
came apparent that Mr. Roosevelt,
In addition to resubmitting several
unfinished Items from his extra ses
sion program might make sugges
tions for permanent railroad legis
lation, regulation of stock exchanges
and a communications control plan.
Much Unfinished Business
Among the unfinished business Is
the St. Lawrence seaway pact ratifi
cation, and legislation to grant the
president power to appoint a non
resident governor of Hawaii and de
clare arms embargoes against ship
ments of munitions to belligerents.
In addition, the chief executive will
send to the senate scores of recess
appointments.

TEMPORARY STAY
UNTIL ARGUMENT
DEN1EDBY COURT
Judge Lewelling Holds Large
Part State Without Regu
lation and Court's Duty
Is to Assume Act Valid
SALEM, Dee, 28. (AP) Circuit
Judge h. O. Lewelling today denied
temporary restraining order agalnat
operation and enforcement of the new
state liquor law, which waa asked by
the city of Klamath Falls.
Arguments on merits of the case
will be heard Tuesday when the
state'a demurrer to the Klamath Falls
complaint comes up In circuit court.
Attorney Elton Watklns, represent
ing the city of Klamath Falls, argued
for a temporary restraining order on
the grounds the liquor act passed by
the apecial aesslon of the legislature
was unconstitutional, as well as being
a revenue raising measure automati
cally prohibiting attachment of the
emergency clause. He contended tha
act could not become a law for 80
daya because of the revenue raisins;
purposes, even If held constitutions!.
Argument Is Hit.
Jay Bowerman, repnsaenting the
atate liquor commission, held the act
did not violate the constitution be-:
cause cities were limited to own regu
lation of liquor subject to the crimi
nal laws of the atate. He held the
Knox bill, as passed by the legisla
ture, waa constitutional, but If there
waa a doubt tn the mind of the court
the commission did not protest a re- .
straining order until a definite de
cision is taken.
Judge Lewelling,. In denying tha
temporary restraining order, declared
the large part of the state's popula
tion outside of the cities would be
without regulation and It waa the
dttty of the court to assume the act
valid until It waa proved otherwise.
He urged the plaintiff and defendant.
In the event the circuit court held
agalnat either, to take the matter to
the aupreme court.
Demurrer Filed.
Attorney Bowarman today filed hla
demurrer on the original complaint
tiled by the city of Klamath Falls.
In opening arguments for the re
straining order, Watklna read tha
complaint of the city, filed late Sat
urday, which alleged the act violated
both the federal and atato constitu
tions. He declared further the ct vio
lated the 14th amendment to tha
federal conatltutlon by deprfvlng peo
ple of life, liberty and property with
out due legal process.
It violated the federat conatltutlon,
which glvea exclusive power to con
gress to regulste commerce between
states.
It repealed. Illegally, all conflict-
lng municipal enactments.
It Increased the taxation burden
to all people In the state and to the
city of Klnmath Falls.
Opinion Cited.
Watklna also read the attorney

during the legislative session, In '
which he declared the Knox liquor
