Tho Or- Liquer Control commis sion today approved a regula tion to ranon most rules on the aiao of bottles and cans of beer sold in the state. Portland (U.RJ The Oregon Liquor Control commission met today to vote on a regulation which would remove most rules on the size of bottles and cans of beer sold in the state. - An OLCC regulation passed two years ago prohibited sale of beer at the retail level except in 11, 12 and 32-ounce contain ers. . Commissioners had the new regulation drawn up at a meet ing yesterday. It would allow sale of beer in almost any con tamer weighing 32 ounces or less.
