State Senate Studies Bill Barring Sifts to Liquor
ission
Monday, March 7, 1S5S '
Comm
Employees
House Expected To
Consider Habitual
Criminal Measure
Salem U.R) The Oregon
Senate. ha3 up for consideration
today a measure prohibiting any
member, officer or employee of
the Oregon Liquor Control com
mission from receiving any
monies or gifts from anyone
identified with the liquor indus
try. The commission itself 'tight
ened up its "gift and gratuity"
regulation last week after a
furor that caused two suspen
sions and one resignation of com
mission employees in recent
months.
Criminal Act Studied
Expected for early considera
tion in the House is a bill that
would grant relief from a harsh
penalties of Oregon's 28-year-old
habitual criminal act.
The bill, sponsored by Reps.
George Layman of Newberg and
Jean L. Lewis of Portland,
viould grant relief to some 1000
ex-convicts and also to prison
inmates sentenced under the old
law. The latter could ask for
review of their case.
Under the 1927 act, a judge
was compelled to impose the
maximum sentence for a per
son's second felony and he could
double that sentence. For a third
felony the judge was required
to double the sentence of the
person's second conviction and
he could quadruple it.
Four Time Loser Gets Lif
A four time loser, under
habitual criminal proceedings,
would go to" jail for life.
In 1947 this law was liberal
ized, the mandatory penalty
provisions were removed, and
a 'statute of limitations put on it.
The new bill, if passed, would
prohibit prosecution under the
1027 law unless proceedings are
started within eight years of the
last conviction. It would also
enable convicts serving sen
tences under the .1927 law to
ask for a review of their cases
in view of the more liberal 1947
law. ;

United Press Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Seven years
ago the first TV Academy
Awards went to only four win
ners, but to
night the "Em
my" comes of
age with a 21
award night
that will try to
blast the mov
ie Oscars out
of the , lime
light. The Emmy
Aline Mosby awards for the
best programs and players on TV
finally step into the national big
time at a black tie banquet in tfc5
Moulin Rouge nightclub on Sun
set Boulevard. .
" Nine years ago there were
only eight TV stations on the air
in the entire U. S. when the
academy was formed- This year
there are 422 stations and 750
Academy members in Holly
wood, Chicago, New York and
San Francisco. The Emmy statu
ettes will be handed out to the
quivering winners on an hour
and a half NBC-TV nation-wide
telecast with three newcomers
George Gobel, "Medic" and Walt
Disney expected to collect top
honors.' '
"We have a wonderful chance
of surpassing the Oscars to
night," beamed academy Presi
dent Don Defore. .
President Defore admits the
TV Academy Awards at last
graduated to a grade-A national
event by lifting some ideas
from the motion picture Acad
emy's Oscar event.
This year the TV Academy
members themselves voted on
the honors, as motion picture
members do in the Oscar Derby.
The nominated TV programs
also were screened for members,
as in the Oscar race.
I notice the TV Academy is
imitating the Oscars in another
respect, too. This year the tele
vision honors wil linclude ump
teen technical awards (dulk to
some viewers), right down to
"bestf engineering effects' and
"best sound." The Emmy group
even uses the Oscar accountants,
Price, Waterhouse Co., to count
the votes.

Actress Plans To Campaign
For Louisiana Governorship
When Movie Contract Ended
Hollywood (U.R) Shapely
Cleo Moore, ex-daughter-in-law
of the late Huey Long, mapped
plans today for her guber
natorial campaign in Louisiana,
her home state.
Cleo, once married to Palmer
Long, son of the late "Kingfish"
governor of the Pelican state,
says, ' l nave six more yers to
go on my movie contract, but
after that I'm going to jump
right into politics.
Will Close Dirt Reads z '-
"First thing I'll do is "close
all the gravel and dirt roads in
Louisiana and build the best
four lane super-highways in the
country. A lot of my relatives
live at the end of those dirt
roads and it takes too much time
to visit them."
Cleo's next objective is to build
up Louisiana State College.
"When I get elected, LSU
will play in the Sugar Bowl
every year. We'll get the best
players in the country down
there, and I've got some new
ideas on how to recruit those
big husky boys," she added with
a wink.
"Ask me what I think of Earl
and Russell Long and I'll give
ycu a straight answer. There's
no finer name in the entire state.
I think Mayor Delesseps Mor
rison" of New Orleans is tops,
too. We met once and hfe was
very charming.
Cleo, who hit the front pages
when a sizzling television kiss,
with a Chicago disc jockey got
the lucky man fired, fearlessly
tackled other Louisiana . prob
lems.
