STATE HOUSE, SALEM, Ore (UP)
Little change In the basic constnic
tlon of the Oregon liquor control act
by the next legislature was forecast
today, following report received here
from many parts of the state.
Most candidates for nomination In
the May 18 primaries believe, and
presumably their constituents, that
the law should Be given a lair inn
The act Itself was off to a bad start
as the result of some foolish blunders
on the nsrt of the commission slid
Its administrator. These mistakes,
gradually being eradicated, lost somo
publlo support.
Local Option Demand Weak.
' Most observers, however, are agreed
that a majority of Oregonlans desire
some type of state control. The de
mand for local option has not been
strong except In a Jew isolated in
stances.
The entire state liquor control or
ganization probably would have op
erated more smoothly had the com-
mission waited 90 days after the act
was passed before stores were opened.
Administrator aeorge sammis an'
nounced publicly that by February 10
approximately 17 stores ana oo egeu
cles would be opened. He prophe
sied that during the first week's bust,
ness 100,000 Individual liquor per
mlt would be sold at II each.
No stores were operating by Febru.
ary 10, and many of the agencies are
till to be opened. At tne ciose oi inn
first six weeks' business Individual
oermlts totaled loss than 18,000, in
contrast to the single week figure of
100.000 announoed by Sammla.
Until the liquor commission dU
Toroed Itself from the willing services
at William Elnzlg, state purchasing
gent, harmful statements were made
about store fixtures, including expen
sive showcases, potted plants and
beautiful furniture.
Personnel Reduced.
Stores were opened with large per
sonnel. In some stores four or five
employes were hired and later the
commission was loroed to out ataffs
In half. Some store still are over
etaffrd. Little cooperation was secured by
the commission from law enforcement
agencies berore stores opened. Boot
leggers continued to operate after the
state went into the liquor business.
Many rot!lers of liquor are still with
out licenses.
Estimates Of $2,000,000 to 13,000,000
profit annually from operation of the
act have proved too high. Appar
ently no one knows what profit, if
any, will be made.
License Fees Far Short.
The commission has turned over
approximately 44,0O0 to date to tho
atste central relief committee to fi
nance unemployment relief activities.
The money was paid from license
fees, estimated to yield 700,000 an
nually, a figure which also appears
optimistic.
Well informed observers believe,
however, that the act will atlll weath
er the Amlng legislative session, es
pecially If a governor Is elected who
rloea not favor liquidation of the
liquor commission.
There are large numbers of eltl
rena who would prefer return of
prohibition rather than saloons and
swinging doora If good state control
csnnot be achieved.

Miss Kane Is suing the Paramount

The defense today produced three

TOY RIVER
Solution of Problems in
Water Supply and Irriga
' tion Works at Boulder
Dam Worked Out in Sand
By F. B. COI.TO.V .
(Associated Press Science Writer.)
WASHINGTON. (P) A small-boy
game played In earnest by scientists
buiioing toy rivers in a sand-pile
Is showing the way here to solution
of problems connected with the water
supply and irrigation works to be
served by Boulder dam.
The toy river in this case Is a mini
ature Colorado river, and the "sand
pile" was shipped 2,000 miles direct
from the Colorado's bed to Washing
ton for scientific experiments at the
bureau of standards' hydraulic lib
rary under direction of H. N. Eatnn
and Dr. C. A. Wright.
Watch Eroding Process.
The miniature "Colorado," a few
Inches deep, runs through a wooden
flume Instead or between canyon
walls, over an experimental "bed" of
the Colorado river sand, to show sci
entists how the real river will behave
after Boulder dam la completed.
Through glass windows In the sides
of the flume the experimenters can
watch the water in the actual process
of eroding the sand in the "river
bed." A gauge shows them the depth
and contours of the eroded places.
The eroded sand la washed Into a
trap where it can be measured to
learn the amount of erosion and the
river's sand-carrying capacity.

dam will be clear water, free of 'most

of the silt It now carries. The mud
will sink to the bottom while the
water Is standing behind the dam.
It probably will be the first time In
centuries that clear water has flowed
through the lower Colorado river
channel.
Engineers want to know whether
this clear water will scour the bed
and banks of the river below the dam
much more than the present muddy
water, already so saturated It can
pick up little more sand.

PLANS BILL FOR
Group Musters Support for
Measure During 1935
Legislature Penal and
Welfare Officials Help
By ARTHUR F. GRANT
United Press Staff Correspondent
HARRISBURO, Ph. (UP) Quietly
but none the less thoroughly, sterili
zation advocates are mustering sup
port throughout Pennsylvania r for a
sterilization measure to be introduc
ed at 'the 1835 session of the state
legislature.
Led by a group of Philadelphia and
Delaware county physicians, the ad
vocates are obalnlng indorsements
and promises of support for the
measure from women's clubs, medical
associations- and civic groups.
Already more than a score of such
Indorsements have been obtained, the
advocates claimed.
Similar Measure
A similar measure Introduced ' at
the regular 1033 session of the state
legislature died In the public health
and sanitation committee of the sen
ate because, according to Its sponsor,
Msx Aron, Philadelphia, too much
other business was before .the as
sembly. Penal and welfare officials of the
state indicated support of the bill
recently at a welfare meeting In Lan
caster, .holding that sterilization of
diseased persons and mental defect
ives Is necessary to slow up the
mounting rosters of Jails and welfare
Institutions.
At present no law axlsts in Penn
sylvania either for or against steril
ization. The proposed bill ststes: "Human
experience has demonstrated that
heredity plays an Important part, in
tho transmission of Insanity, Idiocy,
imbecility and epilepsy."
Terms of Bill
Its terms provide thst the luperln.
tendent of a state or licensed institu
tion for mental defectives and dis
eased persons may, when two disin
terested and legally qualified physi
cians and surgeons agree, authorize
a sexual sterilization, provided that,
before such an operation Is perform
ed, written notice shall be served 14
days in advance on the person in
tended for the operation.
In the cases of children under 10,
such notices will be served on their
parents.
Persons designated for sterilization,
or their parents, or guardians, may
appeal to the courts of common pleas
from carrying out of the operation,
the courts bctng authorized under
the proposed law to sustain or set
aside the authorization.
The law Is modeled after an act
passed In California In July, 1917.
