R. O. T. C. Officials
Expect Change in
Close-Order Drill!
Infantry Movement May
Soon Be Obsolete,
Says Prouty
Officers of the local R. O. T. C.
headquarters, cadet officers, and
underclassmen taking the basic
military coure at the .University
are waiting for the latest develop
ments in the contest between the
old and new era of close-order drill,
which army officials admit must
be decided soon.
Adoption of the new regulation !
would mean practical abandon
ment of the movement known as
“close-order” drill.
Lieutenant Prouty of the Oregon
R. O. T. C., yesterday said that a
change of some kind from the old i
methods of “squads right” and
“squads left” is sure to be con
summated in a year or two, and
that such a change would be wel
comed by officers and men in the
ranks alike. However, what the
new order would be and if it would
be the suggested change or not,
he could not say.
Prouty Discusses Plans
When asked to eplain the dif
ference between the exisiting
movements of close-order drill and
the proposed movements, Lieuten
ant Prouty said:
“The present squad is made up
of eight men, marching in two
rows of four each. A command of
“squads right” necessitates a com
plicated wheeling movement of the
men, which, though pretty to look
at, is very difficult and means
weeks of intensive practice to do
right. In the new proposal, three
squads are lined up in three lines,
eight abreast. At the command
“squads right,” every hian executes
a "right face” and “shoulder
arms” at the same time and be
gins marching. Thus the column
marches three abreast instead of
the former four abreast.
"The column is narrower and does
not take up the whole road as was
usually so before. Also, in deploy
ing for open order attack or in
such emergency as an enemy air
plane’s attack, the three squads
making the column can easily de
loy to the right left, and straight
ahead, as the case may be. Thus
the column is less combersome to
handle.”
Major Barker of the Oregon R.
O. T. C., emphasized the time sav
ing element of the new proposal for
maneuvers.
New Drill Easier
“Where it now takes months for
close order drill perfection,” he
said, "with this new easier move
ment the array could devote much
more time to the other elements of
training, such as skirmishing and
bayonet work.”
The new movements are being
worked upon at Fort Penning,
Georgia, where the 20th Infantry

The Four Merry Mad Marx
Brothers are cutting up again, this

concludes its showing at the Mc
Donald tonight. This new effort
is about on a par with their first
two pictures so far as dizzy com
edy goes, and you will probably
enjoy it.
No use trying to tell the story
of the film because your reviewer
hasn't been able to figure it out
yet. Highlights of the film are
Harpo’s harp numbe;, the fight in
the barn, and Groueho’s custom
ary wisecracking. And then there
is the scene in which all four ma
niacs try to get past the United
States customs on Maurice Che

A shorter comedy and a news

very well acquainted with this
type of picture as yet and finds
certain improbabilities hard to
swallow.
Five musical comedy stars came
out from Broadway to appear in
this story of a girl who rises from
being a California fruit picker to
a grand opera star. Margaret
Schilling, as the girl, has more
beauty and personality than the
average singing; actress, and her
voice is musical though light.
Gregory, playing her boy friend,
has a voice which should carry
him some place in the talkies. It
is unnecessary to say that Rom
berg’s music is excellent.

Gandhi Philosophy Unknown
To Masses Debators Believe
The possibility of India’s unedu- :
cated millions understanding Ma- \
hatma Gandhi’s philosophy is very
slight, according to information re- I
ceived'from the University of Ore
gon’s good-will debators, Robert
T. Miller, David Wilson, and Roger
Pfaff, who are now in India.
The Mahatma’s secret power is
due to the fact that the masses of
India are under a blind submission
to his slightest command due to a
belief in his divinity, a belief that
he is God Incarnate.
Many people are led to believe
through reports that Gandhi has
the support of all India. Nothing
could be farther from the truth,
say the Oregon debators. Admit
tedly he claims the respect of mil
lions and the adoration of countless
people in his own country and else
where, but that does not infer their
implicit faith or sanction for his
actions. There are many who are
strongly antagonistic to his pacifist
program for gaining Indian inde
pendence.
The Pacific Basin debators came
into contact with many of the lead
ers of India. All of them pro
nounce their respect for Mr. Gand
hi but many of them disagree vio
lently with the means he uses.
India is divided into four groups,
politically speaking. The follow
ers of Gandhi say that “shimsa”
or soul force coupled with non-vio
lent non-cooperation is the means
of salvation. On the opposite side
there is a large group who vehe
mently declare that India has wait
ed long enough. The conservative
group is for the evolution of free
dom through constitutional meth
ods. Finally, there are the native
princes who control one-third of all
India and who want a continuation
of British rule for they fear for
the loss of their vast possessions
under a new regime.
Concerning' the literal dictator
ship of Gandhi in India the debat
ors said, “One night we entered in
to friendly conversation with an
influential Hindu we had met dur
ing the day. Could and would he
talk about Gandhi? “Could Gand
hi secure what he wanted in Lon
idon?” we asked. "How did he se
cure his power in India?" Sudden
ly in the midst of a sentence he
stopped, leaned over and said, “I
will tell you something I would
never repeat in public.” We leaned
forward in expectation. «
“ 'I was with Gandhi in South
Africa,’ he stated simply. 'You
know his success there in securing
justice for the natives. When he
returned to India he stayed at my
home for a time. Even then he was
talking about a liberated India.
But how was it to be accom
plished? The country was split
into dissenting groups. Mohamme
dan hated Hindu. The population
was composed of many racial
stocks speaking 251 distinct lan
guages. There were three thous
and casts and sub-castes. Members
of one caste could not eat with
those of another. One Indian
school had to provide 37 kitchens
for only 100 students.
“How could Gandhi weld these
heterogeneous groups into one co
hesive body? There was only one
way, according to the Mahatma
and that was the common alle
giance of all the peoples to one
ideal. And Gandhi was to became
that ideal! To gain power he must
have a plan. He drew up a plan
and that plan worked!’
"Our friend smiled with satis
faction as he continued. ‘You won
der how he could secure the sup
j port of all. Well, the process was
[quite simple. Simplicity is the
j great ideal of all Indians and so
| Gandhi commenced wearing the
i loin cloth. For this lie was deep
ly revered.
“A person loses caste in India if
he accepts cooked food from an
I outcaste. However, you can ac
cept uncooked food from anyone
and Gandhi accepted a diet of fruit,
nuts and milk which he could ac
cept from anyone. In this manner
J he destroyed the antagonism of
[any particular caste. He adopted
la little untouchable girl and se
j cured the support of sixty million

untouchables. He fasted for days
and had communion with God.—He
became a saint. Finally to culmin
ate his saintliness he announced
he had become a celebate. To
many people he then became a
deity.’
“Doesn’t Gandhi realize the ex
tent of the people’s worship for
him ?” we asked. Our informer im
mediately asserted, ‘Of course he
does, but he likewise knows that
it is only through this blind wor
ship that he will be able to control
the masses and accomplish his ob
ject,—India’s freedom.’
“Suppose Gandhi should die to
morrow?” we questioned suddenly.
The answer came as quickly as
the question. ‘If Gandhi should die
now he would be deified in less
than fifty years. He would be an
other Buddha. Even today people
have his picture on the walls of
their homes where they worship
him as a god. At present they are
carving small statues of Gandhi in
marble that people can buy for a
small amount. He is already being
worshipped as a supernatural be
ing.’
“Suppose India gets her free
dom,” we asked. “Would Gandhi
be strong enough to hold in leash
the pent-up passions of her people
and the machinations of unscrupu
lous politicians.”
“The answer came more slowly
to this enquiry. “ThS people are
held in check by their obedience
to Gandhi and the political leaders
dare not defy him for he controls
the votes of the masses.’ ”
Professor Is Eyewitness in the
Ypsilanti Murder Excitement
By EDGAR GOODNOUGH
An interested eyewitness of the
excitement prevailing before and
after the capture of the Ypsilanti
murderers this summer was Paul
K. Washke, physical education di
rector at the University of Oregon.
Mr. Washke had charge of intra
mural sports at the University of
Michigan summer session and con
sequently was in the heart of the
excited area, since the university is
located at Ann Arbor, eight miles
from Ypsilanti.
“From the time a farmer report
ed his finding of the burnt car and
the charred bodies of the four
young people,” Mr. Washke relat
ed, “the countryside was up in
arms and demanded immediate
action on the part of the police.
Here a rather petty technical dis
pute arose. As the car had been
found on the county line road, the
sheriffs of Wayne and Washtenaw
counties each claimed the right to
handle the case. Considerable
wrangling ensued and little was
accomplished until the state attor-,
ney came down from Lansing and
begged the sheriffs to waive the
question until the murderers had
been apprehended.
“At least seven different groups
of officials were on the lookout
for the perpetrators of the crime,”
Mr. Washke continued. “Local po
lice from Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti,
sheriffs' posses from the two coun
ties, Detroit city officers, Michi
gan state police, and Henry Ford’s
secret service operatives were all
on the job. A representative of
Ford's, Harry Bennett, discovered
the wristwatch clue that fastened
the guilt on the negro involved.
The latter, in turn, implicated the
two white men, one of whom was
taken into custody immediately.
“Only an hour or two had
elapsed since the two had been
placed in the Ypsilanti jail, but
already a crowd of several thou
sand had gathered. When it was
announced that the other suspect.
Smith, was being sought, one of
the crowd yelled, ‘Why, there’s
Smith over there!’ The police im
mediately seized the man and just ;
in time to save him from the wrath
of the crowd. Badly mauled, he
was finally dragged through the
mob into the jail.”
The slayers were taken to Ann
Arbor for trial that night, accord
ing to Mr. Washke. Here only a
small portion of the people gained
the coveted courtroom benches,
and they in turn were disappoint
ed because the testimony was giv
en in the judge's private chamber.
At 0:30 the judge passed the max
imum sentence Michigan law al
lows—four times their natural
length of life at hard labor- in
Marquette penitentiary.
• I'll never forget the scene out
side the courthouse," Mr. Washke
said. “Ten thousand people milling
about, some carrying ropes and
others cans of gasoline. The lat
ter probably was to be used in
making torches of the killers. Feel
ing was running higher every mim
lute, and by the time the decision
I was announced the muttering of1
the mob had risen to cries for the
slayers’ death.
“To add to the dramatic tense
ness of the scene, flashlight pic
tures were constantly being taken
illuminating the sea of angry faces
from time to time. Every fifteen
minutes or so the local newspapers
would send out extras, carrying
pictures of the murderers that fur
ther aroused the crowd's enmity
“By 10:30 the news flashed from
lip to lip that the officials were go
ing to “make a break” with then
charges. Despite the presence 01
two companies of national guards
men the authorities were forcec
to adopt trickery in order to sue
ceed. Four cars were driven up t<
the four entrances of the court
house. Three were decoys anc
served to split the crowd. Sudden
ly a squad of police rushed frorr
one entrance with the killers
handcuffed and cowering, in then
midst. As the mob charged tea:
gas was used and they were forcec
to fall back. Although I was or
the outskirts my eyes smarted
from the effects of the gas severa
hours afterward.
“That night the killers were
lodged in Jackson penitentiary foi
temporary keeping,” Mr. Washkc
concluded, “and the danger of mol
violence was over. I don't believe
however, that the authorities conic
have saved them if the crowd hac
known the nature of the secrel
testimony at that time.”
