When the United States supreme
court hears the case of the People VS..
Eberle, which will probably settle the
fate OF the local option law in Michi-
gan, Prosecutor Bailey will move to
dismiss the appeal of the defendants
on the theory that the federal court
cannot review the case before SEN
tence. The case was appealed on ex-
ceptions before sentence and the
Michigan supreme court held with the
circuit court in the conviction of
Eberle and Carroll If the prosecu-
tor is upheld sentence will be imposed
in the local circuit court and the case
again be taken before the United
States supreme court. Federal judges
will be called upon TO pass on the
contention that the law is class legis-
lation, deprives property owners OF
their holdings without due process
of law and the contention that the
law is opposed to interstate commerce
regulations.
