14 THE WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD, WINONA, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1951 Liquor Agents' Arrest Power Bill Stymied By ADOLPH JOHNSON ST. PAUL UF, Sen. Harr Wahlstrand, Willmar, failed toda in an attempt to get immediate action in the Senate Liquor Contro Committee on a bill to give stat Jiquor agents the power cf arrests Wahlstrand argued that the bil which has passed the House, i familiar enough to all committe members so hearings are not nee essary. He said time is so shor that the bill must get to the Sen ate floor promptly to get a chanci of passage. Instead of acting on it, however the committee voted, on motion Sen.

Archie Miller of Hopkins, tc send the bill to a subcommittee Two Other Proposals The subcommittee will consider it along with two other proposals One provides for appointment a special deputy sheriff in each county to enforce liquor laws. The second sets up machinery for re ports to the governor and direc tions from him to county attorneys to proceed in certain cases. Opposing the subcommittee sug gestion, Sen. Wahlstrand declarec he wants to have his bill "stanc on its merits." "I don't want to have it mixec up with something else," he said Sen. Ole 0.

Sageng, Dalton, who also opposed the motion, declarec the committee was out of step with the Senate. He recalled that two years ago only two members of the committee voted for the power of arrest, but when it was brought into the Senate on a minority report, the report failed of adoption by only two votes. Sen. Miller said the subcommittee idea was not intended to delay the bill and that all proposals being considered were aimed at better law enforcement. He expressed hope a bill combining the better features of each could be prepared.

To this, Wahlstrand replied that his bill and the one providing for additional deputy sheriffs a "diametrically opposed." He said adding more deputy sheriffs would not strengthen a weak system while his bill would give the state the power to assist local officials. Sen. William Dahlquist, Thief River Falls, said he is opposed to creation of another state law enforcement agency. Sen. Donald 0.

Wright, Minneapolis, declared it would be dangerous to have enforcement in any but local hands until what he called our "archaic" liquor laws are brought up to date. Students and Minors He also hinted he had evidence state agents have used students miaors as "decoys a stooges" to obtain evidence. Sen. Dahlquist also said he feared that giving state agents the power of arrest would weaken local enforcement by making local officers feel that they were no longer responsible for liquor law enforcement. He said this already Is happening in the case of game The Daily Record Municipal Court Jasper Doroty, Des Mqines, was fined $30 after pleading guilty to two traffic charges this morning.

Ton-Mile Taxation Unconstitutional, Badger Judge Says MADISON ton- mile tax in unconstitutional, Circuit Judge Alvin C. Reis held Tuesday.

The law had been challenged by the Hillside Transit Rookey .11 Transfer Sullivan's Motor Delivery, Olson Motor Service and the Yule Truck Lines, all Wisconsin firms. Since the law was enacted 22 years ago, Reis said, "Titanic mushrooming change: have been made in it so that now 91.3 per cent of the truckers in the state are 1 exempt from its requirements and only 8.7 per cent of the commercial vehicles must pay the tax. "So very much is exempt that equal protection cannot survive." The tax is imposed on basis of type of trucks, articles being hauled and area traveled.

WINONA DAM LOCKAGE Tuesday 2:08 p.m.--Frances Ann and two barges, upstream. Today 7:35 a.m.--Coal King and two barges, downstream. WASHINGTON Wl-- Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) defended the Taft-Hartley law's national emergency provisions Tuesday in a Senate Labor Committee hearing at which several senators suggested it be changed. Sen, Humphrey (D-Minn), former member of the committee, appeared as a witness to propose the present T-H emergency strike procedures be repealed.

Sens. Ives (R-NY) and Douglas (D-I11) indicated they felt the law I should be changed. The present law provides for 80-day court injunctions as "cooling off" periods to prevent labor troubles which threaten the nation's health or safety. Humphrey contended the injunction operated more to the detriment of strike-threatening workers than to management, a point Taft vigorously disputed. "I don't see how the injunction can be described as anti-labor by any manner or means," Taft in- jsisted.

"It prevents an employer lockout, closing down his plant, in a labor dispute, just as much as it stops workers from striking for the fixed period." Douglas observed that while it was technically true such an injunction applies to require continued work both by the employer and the union, it was like "comparing the relationship of an elephant and a rabbit as being 50-50." Whitehall Cantata On Good Friday WHITEHALL, Wis. (Special) The sacred cantata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ" by DuBois, will be presented by the Bible School and senior choirs, numbering about 70 voices, at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church Good Friday at 1:45 p.m. This is a traditional event, but an added feature this year will be a brief meditation by the Rev. 0. G.

Birkeland before each of the words is sung. Philip Thomte will direct the cantata with Mrs. H. M. Johnson and Miss Anne Holtan accompanying at the organ and piano.

Soloists will be Mrs. J. V. Maldonado, soprano, Richard TJlvil- den, baritone, and Sidney Otterson, tenor. Business places in the city will be closed from noon to 3 p.m.

to give people an opportunity to attend this song service or other church services. Two festival services at Our Saviour's will be conducted on Easter Sunday, at 6:30 and 9 a.m. Except for the special music they will be identical. At the first service the 70-voice junior choir under the direction of Mrs. S.

B. Ivers, with Mrs. R. L. MacCornack accompanying, will sing "The Lord is Risen Today" by George M.

Vail. At the second service the senior will sing "Easter Song" by P. Fehrmann, Mr. Thomte director DFL to Stage Fight Against Sales Tax MINNEAPOLIS Declaring sales taxes are "unfair, unjust and unwarranted," the state chairman I of the Democratic Farmer-Labor I party served notice the party will "fight to the last ditch" the sales levy measure introduced in the Minnesota Legislature last week. Furthermore, said Karl F.

Rol- vaag, "we intend to make this one of the chief campaign issues in the next election." He added that the DFL will watch "with vigilance" how legislators vote on the proposal. Whitehall Business Sold, Manager Named WHITEHALL, Wis. (Special)Malcolm Warner has resigned as office manager at the Whitehall Packing putting in his last day Tuesday. He has purchased the Standard Oil bulk business here from Leonard Ellison and after two weeks of training with Ivan Curry, bulk dealer at Osseo, he will take over the business. Warner has been succeeded as office manager at the packing plant by Eugene Harlow, Whitehall, who has been working in the Air Force Plane Search Abandoned CHARLESTON, W.

Va. An organized search for an Air training plane and its Wisconsin pilot, missing since last Friday, was abandoned Tuesday night. The trainer, piloted by Capt Richard Ratzburg of Oshkosh, left Wright-Patterson Air Base at Dayton at 12:17 p.m. for a trip, by short hops, to Andrews Air Force Base near Washington. No contact was made with the plane after that time.

Ratzburg was to have proceeded via Cincinnati, Huntington Charleston and Elkins, W. Va. Maj. Richard Stantdn, operations officer of the 49th Air Rescue Squadron which has conducted part of the search from here, said the search was "suspended unless we receive other orders from higher authority," plant proper. Warner who now resides at Independence, is planning to move his family to Whitehall.

Albert Steffenson has succeeded the late Donald Hagen as manager of Olson's Feed store here. His wife, who has been clerking at Olson's store, has resigned there and is bookkeeper at the feed store. FIRE CALLS Firemen were called to the Behrens Manufacturing West 3rd and Grand streets, at 6:31 p.m. Tuesday when smoke entered the building after a smoke pipe had broken. to keep operating in the national interest.

Humphrey proposed eliminating the present 80-day injunction and giving the President and Congress complete leeway to handle an emergency dispute in any manner they see fit. He said the President's authority should be confined, however, to specified situations where a real national emergency exists because of a labor dispute. Sen. Ives said he preferred to let Congress alone handle such disputes, rather than the President, because there was no way of telling when a chief executive might handle a situation to favor either management or labor. Safety School Slated MADISON W) The State Motor Vehicle Department reported today its 10th annual congress of school safety patrols would meet at Wisconsin Dells June 4-6.

Blast Kills Italian ANDRIA, Italy tfl A truck loaded with containers of methane gas collided with a suburban train near this southern Italy town Tuesday, exploding the cylinders and killing one person.

The sermon theme at both services will be "The First Easter Sermon." A half-hour of chime and will over system.

Farm Truck License Fee Bill Supported MADISON W- A bill to double the present $5 farm truck license fee and return the added amount to the town where the truck is registered, drew support before the Assembly i a Committee Tuesday. Under the measure, the community would use the money for town roads. Dale Thompson of Madison, representing the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, said his organization favored the proposal in 1951 and '52 and wanted enactment in the current legislative session. James Williams of Milwaukee, spokesman for the Wisconsin Farm Truckers Association, said his group favored passage of the bill, but he suggested an amendment that would give added money to the state for use on all roads. The committee took his sugges- i tion under consideration.
