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.
Opposition to the change came
from Lew Cornelius, secretary
treasurer of local 162 of the
Teamsters union. He said it
would cost the Blitz-Weinhard
brewery a large sum of money to
meet competition of new-size
containers and that it would
threaten jobs of 165 men em
ployed at the brewery. -
A representative of the Joseph
Schlitz brewing company asked
that his firm be allowed to sell
7 and 16-ounce containers, say
ing these were legal in 40 states.
Judge's Chamber Used
To Test Cartridges
In Oveross Hearing
. Salem (U.R) The chambers
of Marion County Circuit Judge
George R. Duncan proved an
unprecedented rifle testing area
'last night as the state sought to
overcome objections by the de
fense to evidence in the first de
gree murder trial of Casper A
Oveross.
An attempt by the state to
enter a test-fired cartridge from
the rifle which the state claims
was . the weapon with which
Ervin Kaser was killed Feb. 17
was blocked by the defense on
grounds the test was not made
by legal standards.
Objection Successful
Otto Skopil Jr.. one of the de
fense attorneys, objected suc
cessfully to introduction of test-
fired bullets. He said one of the
sounds fired from the 30-30 rifle
which was fished out of Pudding
creek on May 8, was of Win
chester make and the other of
Remington. He quoted Oregon
law that tests must be made
with material as nearly identical
as possible after drawing admis
sion from Ralph Prouty. ballis
tics expert with the state police
crime laboratory, that he had
Winchester cartridges with
which he could have conducted
the test.
.The defense action brought a
request from Special Prosecutor
Charles Raymond that the state
be permitted to use the evidence
rifle to make tests with the sim
ilar cartridges. The permission
was granted by Judge Duncan
over the objections of the de
fense. . .' .
Test Made la Office
The test was conducted in the
presence of Oveross after court
recessed last night. A special

.James Gilham and his wife,

testified Oveross was at their
home to see -Gilham's son, Dan
iel, the night Kaser was shot to

driveway of his Silverton area

time at 11:15 a.m. by her clock
