Armed with a report by the police department on business connections of Isadore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld, the mayor said there are "two possible criminal violations" by the liquor operators: CONSPIRACY to avoid the law. PERJURY in answering the questions contained in the applications for a liquor license or its transfer. Placed before the grand juw today as it opened its investigation, the police report stemmed from charges during the recent election campaign of multiple ownership of liquor permits.

County Attorney George M. Scott said' one witness had been subpenaed for the probe, subject to call this afternoon. He is Carl Pearson, who headed the investigation for the police department. The report notes "a strong family relationship among the owners" of several licenses. It adds: "This relationship is either by blood or marriage, and appears more than coincidental and.

worthy of close scrutiny by the grand jury." The police report listed the nine liquor establishments which George MacKinnon, former United States district attorney and Republican candidate for governor this fall said were linked with Blumenfeld. Snowstorm Pelts Northwest, High Gusts Slap Twin Cities GREEN ORANGES? COURT TO RULE ON DYE A-PEEL WASHINGTON (UPI) The supreme court today weighed the question whether citrus growers must sell their oranges green. The government contends a dye used by Texas and Florida growers to color the orange skins orange is poisonous. But attorneys for Florida citrus growers told the court Monday that their industry will face "economic disaster" if barred from using a limited amount of the dye. They said the public just won't buy oranges with greenish skin, the natural color of many ripe oranges.

The health, education and welfare department contended that the dye should be banned completely. The dye, a coal-tar product called "Red-32," was originally approved by the government as harmless for use in food. After later experiments with animals, the department removed the substance from the approved color list in 1955. Then congress passed a special law the following year permitting its use in coloring Florida and Texas oranges until next March 1. Eight of these the report shows as related.

Not associated with the others in the report, but named by MacKinnon, is the Flame cafe, 1523 Nicollet Av. Mayor Peterson said opera tion of the Flame was still under investigation. The others are: Danny's Bar, 1416 Chicago Av. Addison's Bar, 1504 Franklin Av. Kenesaw Bar, 1372 Nicol let Av.

Dakota Plains Bed Doun Under Snow Blanket: Page 3A One of the worst early winter storms in history swirled out of the Red river valley into Canada today, leaving most of Minnesota untouched except for heavy wind damage. The storm was centered over International Falls, today, with heavy snow recorded there. In the extreme northwestern part of Minnesota at Noyes and across the Red river at Pembina, N.

telephone circuits were down and no communications were possible. Nearest town with communications was at Hallock, 32 miles southeast. There, Mrs. Oscar F. Pearson, wife of the Kittson county sheriff, reported that drifts were 3 and 4 feet high and that no traffic was moving early today.

Snow and high winds which followed rain continued today. Apparently today's blizzard conditions were confined within a 50-mile area from the North Dakota border and in the upper quarter of Minnesota. Bitter cold moved into North Dakota today in the wake of the slowly dying blizzard that dumped nearly a foot of snow on the ground in sections of both Dakotas. Early morning temperature readings ranged from a low of 10 above at Dickinson to the 20s elsewhere. The Minnesota highway department said that although all highways in the area affected by snow are open, surfaces are slippery.

Motorists driving on roads west of a line from Luvcrne in the extreme southwest through Perham in the north west to the Canadian border were warned to use extreme caution. At Thief River Falls, Sheriff Charles R. Richards reported heavy rain but not much snow, although wind velocity was hish in the fiat lands around the city. At Grand Forks, N. Sheriff Arthur Rike said that' blizzard conditions continued today ith 10 inches of snow-reported by 8 a.m.

Thye, Republican, by a margin of 73,218 votes. The total vote cast was 1,178,173. A majority of this total or 589,087 was needed for passage of constitutional amendments. Amendment No. 1 and No.

2 the "home rule" and "four year term" amendmentspassed by comfortable margins. Amendment No. 3, which would have permitted legislators to run for any other elective office without first resigning, was defeated. It fell short by 12,797 votes. The first amendment encourages and strengthens home rule or self-government in local communities.

The other puts four-year terms into effect in 1963, after the 1962 elections, for the five top state offices-governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer. Now they run for two-year terms. The state auditor now is elected for four years. Associate Justice Frank T. Gallagher of Waseca again was the biggest vote-getter on the ticket.

He was re-elected to his third six-year term by a plurality of 446,760 votes over E. Luther Melin, Min neapolis. Gallagher received 695,655 votes, the highest total on the ballot. In 1952 Justice Gallagher set an all-time record by de feating Melin by more than a half-million votes. Receiving the highest plurality for a partisan office was Lt.

Just wnat the jury was looking for or expected to find was not made clear. was not made clear. At the start, it had little more to work with than the reports of other state and federal investigators which have probed into the affairs of TCRT the past two years.

George Scott, county attorney, said only one TCRT witness has been Scott placed under subpena. He is Harry Duncan, TCRT comptroller, who was asked to bring some of the com pany's books and records with him. Duncan took some of the same books and records with him when he was under sub pena by the federal grand jury Sept. 4. The county grand jury unlike two federal grand juries and the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission will be hampered by the statute of limitations.

This statute forecloses a county grand jury from returning indictments for any offenses which occurred more than three years ago. Ostensibly, the county grand jury was intending to look into reports of some of the financial transactions in TCRT Turn to Page 4A Nixon Johnson Gore "1 INSIDE ALL FINALLY FORGIVEN Aga Khan's Widow Attacked by Mistake Area Tallies Damage in Gale's Wake Picture on Page 13 A. The Twin Cities was counting damage today in the wake of one of the most severe wind storms in its history. Gusts officially reached 68 mph at 8 p.m. Monday night, setting off a three-hour turmoil of downed trees, flying shingles, broken windows, snarled communications, and frantic calls for help.

The Minneapolis fire department had 500 calls in the three-hour period. As one switchboard operator described it, "we'd push the key in and if it wasn't a fire, we'd pull it out." The harried fire department operators still managed to relay many of the distress calls to Northern States Power which had 8,000 calls from 8 to 10 p.m. Firemen answered 75 fire runs. Power failures were scattered, according to an NSP spokesman, but hardest hit were the Lake Minnetonka area, St. Paul Park, and three hundreds homes in Spring Lake Park, which were without power for an hour.

Plate glass windows came crashing out to the sidewalks in all parts of the city, in cluding the Southdale shop ping center, Knollwood Plaza and the downtown area where many Monday evening shoppers still hustled along the streets. In all, 13 persons were treated for minor cuts and bruises in Twin Cities hospitals as the result of the winds. About seven persons suffered minor injuries when two large display windows. i I'D Turn to Page 4A WIND SPEED HITS 68 M.P.H. That wind last night? It officially hit 68 miles per hour at 8 p.m.
