BircPs-Eye View of Campus Given Reporter in Autogiro By ELINOR HENRY Happy landings! Maybe that phrase came out of a movie, but all I knew about that queer little bug of a plane, the autogiro, was what I saw in the ^ movies until this week-end. I’d watched it floating up and down between New York’s biggest sky scrapers like an elevator that had somehow gotten loose and set out on its own. I’d marvelled a mo ment—and passed my thoughts quickly on to the next news reel. But yesterday Rose Himelstein and I determined to get an inter view with King Baird, pilot of the visiting autogiro. We found the airman and his secretary-publicity manager, Miss I Esther Silver, both of Seattle, in ’ the little office of the Hobi Air ! ways. Facts about the autogiro and thrilling experiences kept us in terested until customers appeared, and when that flight was done, (Continued on Page Two) Student Concert Will Feature Two Violinists Tonight Brockman, Halbert To Play Joint Recital at 8:00 Music Building The complete program for the violin recital to be given at the I music auditorium this evening by Frances Brockman and Howard Halbert has been announced by Rex Underwood.

Sophs Swing Hacks On Whiskerless Men Sergeant-at-arms Mike Mikulak and his committee of deputies got hot on the trail of all sophomore whisker violators last night and as a result local fraternal organi zations were entered without the usual search warrant and a fine of so many hacks was imposed upon those who failed to display a fine array of bristles. The call at the S. A. E. house turned out to be somewhat of a raid for the law-enforcing Mikulak and his crew. The fraternity's sophomores had scraped their jaws in order to appear at the Sun day house tea.

The inquiry was made in re sponse to a Senate resolution adopted after Mr. Granville For tescue, New York and Washington society leader, with others, was charged with murdering a native accused of attacking her daughter. The report, submitted by Assis tant Attorney General Seth W. Richardson, who conducted the investigation, was a bulky docu ment. In a summary of it, which was all that was made public, Richard son said he found no “criminal rackets” in Hawaii and reported that “sex crime” seemed far less than reported from many cities and localities of similar population on the mainland. Criticizing local officials for inefficiency and playing politics, he recommended the federal gov ernment “assume closer respon sibility" for law and order. . Chairman Bingham of the Sen ate insular affairs committee im mediately introduced seven bills recommended in Richardson’s re port for improving conditions in the islands.

A crowd finally collect ed and helped him tie the rope to a lamp post. The General Motors corporation claimed the balloon. It was 25 feet long and had been anchored by a 300-foot rope to a downtown office building.

Two months ago Japan was “dubious” about recognizing the lew state. Today she’s got :hirty thousand soldiers fighting around the capital for her. Jap anese diplomatic statements are something like Washington irosperity.reports—tood good to be true. The news story on the Ankuo rumpus looks strangely famil iar. Sure enough, just change the names and I'd swear it Was the Nicaraguan situation. Yup, Jose Moncada and Hen ry Pu-Yi are brothers under the skin. Diplomatically, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. A.S.U.O.

Bank’s Closing Ties Up Funds OfU.O.Students 100 or So Collegians Dealt With Concern Money To Be Forthcoming After One or Four Months’ Wait By WILLIS DUNIWAY Commercial and savings depos its of University of Oregon stu dents, faculty members, fraternity and sorority houses in the Bank of Commerce, which closed its doors yesterday morning, will be tied up for an indefinite time. The period may be anywhere from two weeks, to a month, or four months long. Bank officials yesterday were unable to say how many of the in stitution’s 3500 accounts were held by Oregon students, professors, or living organizations, but it is thought that the number runs well over 100. The Bank of Commerce had 10 per cent of the deposits of Eugene citizens. Taking this same ratio for the 50 campus living or ganizations would place the num ber of student depositors at be tween 100 and 150. Good Recovery Assured Recovery of money will be sub stantial, it is assured to all deposi tors, although the exact percent age cannot be estimated in ad vance. Liquidation is sure to run better than 50 per cent on both commercial and savings accounts, and may even reach 100 per cent. In any event, the greatest per centage possible will be paid. With course fees due between April 13 and 23, students with ac counts in the Bank of Commerce will very likely be taken care of by the granting of emergency loans through the office of Virgil D. Earl, dean of men, it was an nounced yesterday. Faculty Cashes Checks Faculty salary checks deposited Saturday and not yet through the clearing house were stopped from payment yesterday by the state board of higher education’s Salem office. Thus those faculty mem bers with accounts in the Bank of Commerce will be able to cash their April checks and tide themselves over until liquidation progresses. In about two weeks, or on or about May 1, letters carrying a statement of the account, and a blank for the filing of a claim will be sent to every depositor. For a period of 90 days claims may be filed by depositors, and by August 1 accounts are expected to be ready for payment. When certified deposit credits are obtained by the bank’s custom ers, sometimes around May 1, these may be presented to the First Na tional and United States National banks in the city and moderate loans obtained on them. Presidents of the two financial institutions have agreed to this plan. State Assumes Control Affairs of the Bank of Com merce are in the hands of A. A. Schramm, state superintendent of banks, and his deputies. The men (Continued on Page Two) Policeman’s Eagerness Brings Own Downfall LOS ANGELEsTApril 4—(AP) —Police Officer Harold K.
