INDIANAPOLIS, May 11.— i UP >—The Hoosier battle of beer was heading into the home mi etch today with both political s ties claiming the decision. The Republicans yesterday organized a licensed beer wholer, f 'deile'-j organization to lounteract the Democratic Lict ised Beer Wholesalers Association. Sixty GOP wholesalers (onvened in Indianapolis for the organization meetings. Meanwhile, tile Democrats scored a major victory at South Pend when Federal Judge Luther Swygert granted a temporary restraining order to 12 upstate wholesalers who ye.<Jterd&y filed complaints in court there. The Alcoholic Beverage Commission was prevented from interfering with the businesses of the dozen Democrats who took the first legal steps in a federal court to test the constitutionality of tne new 1945 COP-spon-soied liquor law. The new lav/ cancelled all existing beer permits May 1 and many Democrats were rejected in their bids for
unewals.
Judge Swygert set May 19 as Hie date for a hearing before a I anel of three federal judges on a preliminary injunction sought ty the complainants. Attempts Ly the Democrats to have the law set aside in actions in state courts met without success. The last suit was temporarily

Norway, Josef Terboven, had escaper a similar fate by blowing
himself to bits.
Some mystery still shrouded the death of Terboven, but the likeliest explanation was that he had dynamited himself to death in his secret underground fortress at Skaugum, near Oslo. The cellar hideout where he was believed to have died was beneath his official residence, a castle which the Germans seized from the Norwegian Crown Prince. Every room in Terboven’s elaborate underground fortress showed signs of a violent explosion. The room where the blast actually took place was a mess of cracked concrete and blasted steel. Charred rubble was three feet deep on the floor. It was impossible to tell at once whether Terboven’s body was buried beneath the debris, but the servant who conducted a United Press reporter there called it the room “where Terboven blew himself to pieces." Three more of Norway's top criminals—police Minister Jonas Lie, Minister of Justice Sverre Riisnaes, and police chief Henrix Rogstad—still were holding out in a castle in the Oslo suburbs.
