Reinhart Not
Candidate for
Coaching Job
Hoop Mentor Plans To
Remain at Oregon
Callison, O'Brien Lead List
Of Aspirants for Berth
* Left by Spears
By BRUCE HAMBY
Bill Reinhart, head baseball and
basketball coach and assistant
football mentor, announced yester
day that he is not a candidate for
the position of head football coach.
Since the resignation of Dr. C. W.
Spears, Reinhart has been men
tioned along with Prink Callison,
Jack O’Brien and several outsid
ers, for the now vacant berth.
Reinhart, who just finished the
basketball season and is starting
conference baseball practice, told
the executive council of the asso
ciated students that he intends to
remain here in his present capacity
and has no intention of leaving
Oregon. It has begn rumored about
the campus and town that he was
considering going East with
Spears.
Several Considered
With the definite announcement
that Reinhart will not consider an
offer as head grid coach, the field
is narrowed down to Jack O'Brien,
end coach under Spears; Prink Cal
lison, freshman coach; and various
others including Ernie Nevers, for
^ mer Stanford star; Ike Armstrong,
Utah coach, Slip Madigan, St.
Mary’s mentor, and Clipper Smith,
now at Santa Clara university in
California.
The athletic council met yester
day but announced that it had
made no recommendations to the
executive council. Hugh E. Ros
son, ex-officio member, stated that
the council hoped to reach an
agreement soon.
While the student body and fac
ulty representatives were still
dickering and worrying about a
coach, spring practice continued
under the guidance of Gene
Shields, O’Brien, Johnny Kitzmil
ler, Irv Schulz and Captain Bill
Morgan. A large number of can
didates for the 1932 Oregon var
sity are turning out daily on Hay
ward field.
The spring workouts will con
tinue for six weeks, probably end
ing in a game between two picked
teams. Until a new coach is ap*
pointed, the practice sessions will
be limited to drill on fundamentals
and continuation of plays given by
Doc Spears last term.
JNew Requisites
Being Discussed
Trouble Is Minimized for
Education Majors
Arrangement ot new catalogue
requirements for students who will
he majoring in education r.ext
year is being made by Dean J. R.
Jewell of Oregon State college and
Deans James H. Gilbert, Henry D.
Sheldon and C. V. Boyer of the
University of Oregon. Dean
Jewell was here Thursday.
Their aim is to minimize the
trouble to be encountered by stu
dents who have now partially com
pelled courses in education and
vocational education. The differ
ence in procedure at the two
schools is presenting the biggest
difficulty, according to Dean
Jewell.
Work in vocational education at
Corvallis has been directed primar
T ily toward the development of
skills in such courses as foundry
and foods, while that in education |
has involved primarily knowledge i
in such courses as mathematics, I
languages or history. Preparation
of a standard for appraising the
work in these two opposing fields
under the same school is the prob
lem faced.

Law School Grad
Wins Fellowship
At Yale University
E<lwin Ilicks Will Go East
In Fall To Study;
Herndon Alternate
A Sterling Fellowship in law al
| Yale university, carrying a sti
pend of $1400, for the school yeai
1932-1933 has just been awardee
to Edwin D. Hicks, graduate oi
j the University of Oregon law
school in 1929, and at present dis
trict attorney for Grant county.
The fellowship, one of sever
awarded annually by Yale, is re
garded not only as marked recog
nition for Hicks, but for the Uni
versity of Oregon law school as
well, according to Dean Wayne L
Morse. Further recognition of the
law school here is seen in the fact
that Roy Herndon of Freewater,
senior in law, was chosen as alter
nate, and will receive a fellowship
should any of the seven be unable
to accept.
Hicks made a remarkable record
during his college career, actually
graduating and passing the Oregon
State bar examination just before
he became of age. That fall he
ran for district attorney of Grant
county, and although he had not
been able to enter the primaries,
enough voters wrote in his name
so that in running as a Democrat
he defeated the incumbent. When
he took office he w’as the youngest
district attorney in the entire
United States, and it is believed
that he still holds this honor.
Hicks will leave for. Yale this
fall. He expects to return to Ore
gon following the completition of
his studies and will resume the
practice of law here.
Two Unhurt After
3500-Foot Crash
Plane Wrecked, But Slight
Cut Is Only Injury
SPOKANE, April 1—(AP) —
Falling- 3,500 feet in a flat spin
near here tonight, Carl Shirmer
and Henry Plumb, pilots, crawled
from their demolished plane with
only superficial injuries.
Shirmer’s left eye was cut when
his goggles were broken and
Plumb apparently was only jolted.
Plumb, manager of the Bigelow
Johnson school here, said the ship
started spiraling on an even keel
when the motor died and all at
tempts to bring it into a glide were
unsuccessful. Descending at a
speed slightly faster than a para
chute, the ship struck horizontally
on a plowed field near Shelley
lake.
Parliament Adjourns
After Balancing Budget
PARIS, April 1—(AP)— Parlia
ment adjourned today until June
1 after approving a balanced bud
get in an all-night session during
which Premier Tardieu raised a
question of confidence three times.
The points at issue were differ
;nces between the bills prepared by
the senate and the chamber of dep
uties. Each time he got a majority
of about 50 votes.
The opposition charged the bal
ance was only on paper and that
there would be a deficit of from
two to nine billion francs by the
end of the fiscal year.
Abolishing Allegiance
Hope, Says De Valera
DUBLIN, April 1—(AP)— Presi
dent Eamon De Valera told the
Associated Press today the best
guarantee Ireland has of domestic
peace is the project of the present
government to abolish the oath of
allegiance to the British crown.
‘‘My government proposes to re
move the oath of allegiance from
the constitution because for 10
years it has prevented the adop
tion of peaceful political methods
by a considerable section of the
people. We believe this action will
lead to internal peace.”
Billion Dollar
Tax Measure
Sent to Senate
House Passes Bill Aftei
Three Week Fight
Sales Tax Definitely Out;
Balanced Budget Is
Seen by 1933
By CECIL B. DICKSON
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, April 1—(AP)
A war-worn House, ending three
. weeks of battle in a jovial mood
today, passed a billion dollar
| revenue bill designed to put the
government on a self-supporting
basis in 1933.
As sent to the Senate by the
overwhelming vote of 327 to 64, it
provided new revenue of $1,023,
: 400,000 on the basis of ways and
i means committee estimates and
$997,400,000 on those of the treas
ury department.
Chances for Passing Favorable
The revenue raising bill goes to
a Senate favorably inclined to its
\ manifold provisions. The sales
tax which disrupted the House be
fore it was finally and definitely
rejected, will not be revived by the
Senate.
A coalition of Republican and
Democratic leaders, such as that
: which put through the new taxes
necessary to balance the budget in
the House, will be behind the
measure in the Senate.
Stock Tax Section Passed
In view of Secretary Mills’ down
ward revision of the estimated
yield of the bill submitted to the
ways and means committee today,
the Democrats, almost by a strict
party vote, forced over an amend
ment 180 to 105 making dividends
of stocks subject to the normal
income tax rate of 7 per cent to
provide $88,000,000 additional.
Before final passage the House
reversed itself by striking out on a
record vote 211 to 178 the swing
amendment imposing wartime sur
tax rates reaching a maximum »of
165 per cent on incomes over

Unflagging Search

Police Officer Goes Abroad
In Attempt To Follow
Unrevealed Cine
HOPEWELL, N. J„ April 1—
(APJ—The month-old police
search for the kidnaped Lind
bergh infant shifted swiftly across
the Atlantic today as other inter
mediaries continued their work in
the United States.
Major Charles H.' Schoeffel,
deputy superintendent of New Jer
sey state police, sailed Monday on
the liner Mauretania for Plymouth
on a mission “The nature of which
we cannot reveal at this time,”
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf an
nounced in his afternoon bulletin.
Speaking from the desolate
home of the Charles A. Lind
berghs, Col. Schwarzkopf, chief of
the state police, refused to explain
the significance of the trip other
than to say that Major Schoeffel
was under ‘specific instructions”
and that when he returns “further
information will be given out if it
does not interfere with the pro
gress of the case.”
Meanwhile, Norfolk, Va., inter
mediaries continued to express
confidence in their ability ulti
mately to recover the child, and
the search went forward unabated
in Philadelphia and sections of
New Jersey and New York.
A house whose location was
kept secret was under constant
vigil by detectives in Philadelphia.
Col. Schwarzkopf refused to take
this angle seriously, saying that
Philadelphia authorities had not
passed on “any information of im
portance” and that he had no
knowledge of what this ‘informa
tion is presumed to be.”

Officials Will Investigate
Perplexing Case of
Student Suicide
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1—
(AP)—Discouraged over her work
and unhappy “because marriage
t seemed so far away,” Miss Evelyn
B. Chapman, 23, Stanford univer
sity medical school graduate, shot
herself through the heart in the
apartment of her sweetheart,
James A. Cary, a fellow student,
here early today.
Cary, who said there had been
no intimacy between the girl and
himself, told officers she came to
his apartment last night to discuss
medical work and to “say good
bye" to him, and had remained
and retired. He said a pistol shot
about 4 a. m. awakened him and
he saw the girl clutching a pistol
and dying.
Miss Chapman left several notes,
one of which cited Miss Chapman’s
belief that "I am so made that
I’ll never be able to do the things
(hat will make me happy.”
Cary said she had been growing
increasingly unhappy because "she
didn’t get anything out of life.”
“Ours was not a love affair,” he
said. “Evelyn stayed over night
in my rooms many times, but it
was purely platonic. We were just
good friends and companions. 1
really don’t know whether she was
in love with me.”

A toast to American business!
Typical of the honesty and
integrity that has marked the
idealism of our great industrial
leaders, American business men
are urging President Hoover Jo
retaliate against France for
curbing imports.
Disciples of Stephen Decatur
if “my country, right or wrong”
fame, have spent millions “con
vincing” congress that the
sanctum sanctorum of the al
mighty tariff must not be vio
lated. Infant industries must
be protected.
But France’s action along the
same line is denounced as an
international crime and an af
front to American commerce. A
philosopher, I guess, said "con
sistency, thou art a jewel,” but
who ever accused business men
of being philosophers?

Hoover Expected To Snag
Measure Limiting His

Associated l’ress Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, April 1. (AP)
—Headed for a veto, the Demo
•ratic tariff bill to revoke the pres
ident’s authority to make changes
in import duties was passed today
by the senate.
With the old Democratic-Inde
pendent-Republican coalition again
in command, the bill was approved
12 to 30 and sent, back to the house
which had already passed it indif
ferent form.
Would Forward Findings
The bill provides that finding!
of the tariff commission shall be
forwarded to congress by the pres
ident with his recommendations,
but shall not become effective un
til legislation has been enacted
carrying them out.
Under the present law the presi
dent can make changes in rates
recommended by the tariff com
mission within certain limitations.
The house bill provided that rec
ommendations of the tariff com
mission would be effective auto-'
matically within GO days unless
congress took action to prevent
them.
Calls for Counsel
The bill also calls for creation
of a “consumers’ counsel” to rep
resent the public in cases before
the tariff commission and requests
the president to call an internation
il conference to lower tariff and
other trade barriers.
The senate adopted an amend
ment offered by Senator Norris,
Republican, Nebraska, providing
that when it is found that compe
tition does not exist among domes
i tic producers and distributors of a
I protected product the tariff pro
jection shall be suspended.

To Take Offered
Stanford Position
Dean Will Slay on Campus
Until Next Fall To Aid
His Successor
David E. Faville, dean of the
school of business administration
at the University of Oregon, today
Doan Fuville
sent, his formal j
resignation to Dr.
Arnold Bennett
Hall, president of
the University.
Dean Faville said.
that he had ac-1

sociate professor|
of marketing at f
Stanford univer-!
sity. He will re- j
main here and!

he will go to Stanford.
“I feel that the state of Oregon
is on the threshhold of a great
commercial development, only tem
porarily impeded by the current
business depression, and I offer
this resignation with a great deal
of regret,” said Dean Faville in
his letter. “My decision to go to
Stanford has not been an easy one.
I feel, however, that it is an aca
demic advancement and research
opportunity which I cannot forego.
“May I assure you that my leav
ing here is not conditioned by the
recent upheaval in higher educa
tion, even though the past year
has been a trying one. X believe in
the future of Oregon, and hope
that I may some day return to par
ticipate in its development.”
Dr. Hall was warm in his praise
of Dean Faville, stating that he
regretted very much the fact that j
he was leaving. “Dean Faville l
came here from Harvard and was!
made dean in 1927, then the]
youngest dean of such a school in'
the country,” Dr. Hall said.
Dean Faville graduated from
Stanford in 1922 and received his
master's degree from Harvard in
1925, where he was prominent in
business research. He has taken
a prominent part in civic as well >

150 People From All Over
Northwest Fete Dean’s
20th Anniversary
Over a hundred and fifty stu
dents, alumni, and friends of the
journalism school, hundreds of let
ters, and a high stack of telegrams
greeted a surprised Dean Eric W.
; Allen last night at 6 o’clock at the
Eugene hotel. The banquet was to
honor the dean as his twentieth
i year of service at the University
drew to a close.
Dean Allen had been invited by
Hal Hoss, secretary of state, to a
| “private dinner” at the hotel.
; Through the valiant efforts of
Dean Allen's secretary and various
others in intercepting “incriminat
ing” messages, the banquet plan
ned by the editing class and the
journalism school student body
since early in last term was kept
from the knowledge of its honor
guest even though word of it was
sent by mail and telegraph to all
parts of the United States and to
far flung places about the world.
Many Classes Represented
Practically every class which
has gone out from the Univer
sity under Dean Allen was repre
sented at the banquet. Several
members of the first two classes
taught by Allen in his first year,
1912-13, were in attendance.
Among them were Carlton Spen
cer, Karl Onthank, Harry Crane,
and F. H. Young. Crane, who
graduated in ’18, claimed to have
been in the first classes of each
of the four professors of the jour
nalism school. “Dutch” Young
travelled over 500 miles from his
home in Ontario to attend the
banquet.
President Arnold Bennett Hall
congratulated Dean Allen upon
the great success he has had in
building up the school of journal
ism in his 20 years with the Uni
versity, and told the students,
alumni, and friends of the school
that they too were to be congratu
lated on the fine spirit shown in
giving Dean Allen the recognition
he deserved.
