neighbors who brought it claimed It
was elderberry wine.

of the vine and not a fermented or
alcoholic beverage. I absolutely did
not drink any wine, and will not."

HELD NEW CAUSE
RELIEF DECLINE
PORTLAND, Ore.. May 1. (AP)
Waif red T. Shuholm, member of th
state relief committee, placed a new
Interpretation on declining relief rolls
when be suggested local politics may
be denying assistance to needy cases.
"I do not suspect any Individual
county court," 6huholm said yester
day at the committee's monthly ses
sion, "but It does seem to me some
counties are much lower tban others
in payments. .
"I know that sometimes people
who may not agree politically with
public office holders might not be
treated fairly."
Shuholm made the comment when
the financial report revealed sharp
declines In the number of persons
applying for relief and the amount
of money spent.
He opposed the committee's policy
of not recognizing the Workers' Al
liance a the representative of Its
own members on relief.
"I spend 60 per cent of my time
on relief matters," said Chairman
Jack Lulhn. - "I have gone out Into
the counties with the staff to lodk
Into various cases. If we find a
wrong, we try to right It. If a man
Is hungry, he has to be fed Feed
him first and Investigate later. If
I'm wrong, I want this committee to
say so."
Elmer Ooudy, administrator, back
ed the chairman's sentiments snd
pointed to huge strides made In the
last year. Larger payments have
been made and more persons aided,
he said.
