W. P. Myers last night wir
ed his resigation to District
Attorney William Ganong,
who is ill in a veterans hos
pital at Walla Walla, Wash,
in order that he might be
free to begin libel proceed
ings against the Evening

This action by the acting
district attorney occasioned
no surprise in legal circles,
as the Evening Herald on
June 2 forecast the impend
ing retirement of Myers
from the district attorney's
office.
As also forecost by the
Evening Herald, C a le b
Jones has been agreed upon
by a group of local attorneys
as suitable for the vacant
post, and his elevation to the
place within the next few
t
days is considered a cer
tainty. ' It has'' been" kndwh for
several weeks that strained
relations existed ' between
District Attorney Ganong
and Myers, and that Myers
would either be "fired" out
right or given an opportun
ity to resign some time dur
ing the present month.
In a purported statement
given out last night, Myers
is quoted as saying:
"I have stood all from the
Evening Herald in the way
if abuse that human nature
can endure."

policy of ridding Jackson county of liquor violators,
during the Oregan National Guard encampment, was
taken last night by District Attorney Newton C. Chaney,
when, assisted by Sheriff Jennings and the Medford

and Mrs- Betty Hedges, all of Klamath Falls, as they
were engaged in dispensing moonshine to the Hut candy
store situated on the Crater Lake highway near Camp

The arrests were the result of a carefully conceived
plan worked out by the district attorney several weeks
