Mitchell, 23, of first degree murder yesterday after deliberating less than 24 hours. The men were accused of slaying Walter Bernard Foley Jr., described In testimony as an Inspector for the Washington state liquor board. The jury ruled against the death penalty, which, under Washington law makes life im prisonment mandatory. After the verdict was read, Superior Judge Hugh C. Todd in a statement from the bench, blamed the state's liquor con trol system for the slaying. "The priviliged few may have liquor by the drink in this state," Todd told the jury- "But those not so priviliged have other places in cellars and base ments and the dark places where doors are locked." Blames Conditions "If no such conditions as these had existed, there would have been no murder and no trial." Mitchell, a war veteran, was accused of firing the shots which killed Foley, and Cooper, a speakeasy proprietor, was charged with paying him to com mit the crime. Special Prosecutor John J. Kennett told the jury during the trial Foley was killed because he extorted a "silence bribe" from Cooper at Cooper's speak easy. Judge Todd continued his flaying of a liquor control system which he said, "although it is legal to have and consume liquor in this state, the opportun ity to do it in a way the average American citizen likes to enjoy, in a way he wants to take his pleasure, is denied to the aver age man in our state." "This traffic in dark places may only continue as the result of bribery and corruption," the judge added. Firm Will Elect Bargaining Agent li LEWISTON. Idaho.

CHIEF COMPLAINT ' MONROE, Wis., Feb. 11 (JP) Every tune the fire siren goes off," complained Police Chief J. H. Schwaiger, "I suddenly get about 10 more wives."

OPA Hampers Fir Output PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 11 VP) The Douglas fir belt Is capable of turning out 140,000,000 board feet weekly compared with a 113,000,000-foot output now, a West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation official told the Oregon ian. Ralph D. Brown, Seattle, In a telephone conversation with the Oregonian declared that the pro duction boost is hindered because of OPA prices, "the uncertainty of the whole picture," and In ability to foresee the situation a few months ahead. A shortage of higher skilled labor is keenly feu in Jogging operations, he re ported, and among sawyers, set ters and trimmers in sawmills. . Industry spokesmen agreed that western Oregon and Wash ington mills could increase their output 15 to 24 per cent, but hesitate because of price limita tions. E. C. Dwyer, Portland dis trict director of the WCLA. de clared that economic not phy sical factors are retarding pro duction. "Some adjustments are due between the producers' prices and his costs," he said. The first aerial mail trans portation was made in 1870, when, during the siege of Paris, balloonpost from Paris to other areas was established.
