Oregon's Liquor
Quota Unchanged
PORTLAND, March 17 (P)
Although several states have had
to tighten liquor ration quotas,
Oregon's quota will remain un
changed for several months at
least, tho state liquor control
commission said today.
Chairman Hugh Klrkpatrlck
described Oregon's liquor supply
as "the most favorable" of any
state he knows. ,
The commission also ruled that
12 ounces will again be the
lnrgcst bottles of beer permitted
for on-prcmise consumption m
Oregon. An earlier order allow
ing 32-ounco bottles because
smaller sizes were scarce, has
been revoked. ' '

may be trying to cover up its
mishandling of the voluntary
system Dy a last-minute, win-the.
war, draft - everybody drive
which is more show than real
hardened purpose to win the war
at any cost.
This suspicion is holding up
action on ine manpower ouis.
THIS is about what congress i3
likely to do:
It will stall the manpower leg
islation along until it is possible
to get a more realistic look at
what is happening In Germany,
now that the Rhine has been ac
tually crossed under what seems
to be extremely favorable cir
cumstances. If the war in Europe
is as near the petering out point
as reading of the dispatches of
the. past few days suggests may
be possible, there will be no
draft-labor legislation.
But if it becomes, apparent
say in two or three weeks or
maybe a month that the Ger
mans ; have a lot, of resisting
power left and that the war is
likely to .drag on into the sum
mer or even early fall, then a
draft-labor law. with teeth in it
will be passed and passed pretty
quickly and with a minimum of
oratory and fireworks.
' The passage by the house the
otherday of the nurse draft bill
forecasts what is likely to hap
pen: The need for nurses is real
and immediate. There aren't
.enough to care for the wounded
that are beginning to pour back
from overseas in tragic numbers.
So the nurse draft bill- went
through the house like a prairie
fire through dry grass.
It' seems likely to go through
the senate in the same way al
though nobody can ever be quite
sure of what will happen in the
senate. .

Tuesday and little hope was ex
pressed that Harold was still
alive if his boat had capsized.
The Mannings trapped first
on the Copco ranch shortly
after coming to this area from
Portland over 10 years ago.
Later, they acquired a large
acreage of swamp bordering on
Agency lake. They also run
trap lines in the straits, be
tween Upper Klamath and
Agency lakes and on the Copco
ranch.
Visited Lines
It was these trap lines that
Harold had gone out to run, and
a check showed that he did visit
these lines. It is the opinion of
officers investigating the case
that Harold left the straits in
his sea sled, bound for the
Thomas creek lines and - the
Manning cabin. i

The only solution seems to
be to present the corresponding

clare Klamath Falls a deficit
area, was the conclusion arriv
ed at by the group. -
Factors contributing to the
drastic cut in slaughtering fig
ures resulting in the expected
serious shortage in the meat
supply are the high cost of feed,
manpower shortage and the
ceiling price placed on- fattened
animals.
Cattle growers are becoming
discouraged by these factors-and
are selling their beef as calves
and many are selling out then
entire cattle interests,- it was
noted. . . ." . .
