Hoover Strikes
, At Senate Critics
Of Economy Plan
Pointed Statement Brings
New Attacks Against
Committee Idea
By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON
(Associnted Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, April 5—-fAP)
- President Hoover struck back
sharply at Congress today for its
criticism of his proposed special
economy committee and got in re
turn some fresh rebuffs from the
Democratic leaders.
In a pointedly worded statement
read with emphasis to newspaper
men, the president replied to the
Democratic demands for a speci
fic program of economy that he
and the departments had submit
ted detailed recommendations.
Huge Saving Needed
The president and the congres
sional Democratic leaders are
agreed a saving of $200,000,000 in
expenditures next year is neces
sary to help the new revenue bill
balance the budget. The dis
agreement is on how to accomplish
this saving. '
The Senate finance committee
will start hearings tomorrow on
the revenue bill with Secretary
Mills as its first witness. He is
expected to name the "serious de
fects and discriminations" of
which he complained in the mea
sure as it passed the House, al
though giving it his general ap
proval.
Jones Introduces Plan
Chairman Jones of the Senate
appropriations committee intro
duced today the presidential pro
posal for a joint commission to
map out within 30 days the na
tional economy program for the
$200,000,000 saving, but it was
sent along to committee.
Mr. Hoover in his statement
said there were three general
directions in which expenses can
be reduced—through cuts in the
appropriations, through reductions
requiring changes in the law, and
through government reorganiza
tion.
Japs Guarantee
PhilippinesPeace
By GLENN BABB
(Associated Press Staff Correspondent)
TOKYO, April 5.—(AP)—Japan
would willingly sign a treaty with
the United States guaranteeing
perpetually the independence of
the Philippine Islands in the event
they are freed, a government
spokesman said today.
The statement was the official
comment on the adoption yester
day by the house of representa
tives in Washington of the Hare
bill, which would make possible
complete independence for the is
lands by 1940.
The action of the house caused
(Considerable surprise ,|in official
circles here and was treated as an
event of first importance. Many
columns were devoted to accounts
of the vote. Secretary of State
Stimson has been opposing inde
pendence for the Philippines, say
ing that American withdrawal
would be followed by dominion “by
some foreign power, probably
either China or Japan.”
Regarding this question, the
Japanese government spokesman
asserted that Philippine domination
“would be as great a liability to
Japan as it has been to the Unit
ed States.”
Newfoundlanders
Besiege Minister
p
ST. JOHN'S, N. F„ April 5—
(AP)- A mob of 10,000 persons
stormed the House of Assembly
tonight, smashing windows,
streaming government documents
into the street and causing the
resignation of the government.
For several hours afterward
they besieged the building in which
Prime Minister Sir Richard
Squires remained sheltered by a
detachment of police while the
rioters shouted threats that they
would throw him into the harbor.
The crowd’s fury had been
aroused by delay encountered by a
deputation to the Legislature in
gaining admittance. When they
sighted the premier, they demand
ed he be turned over to them and
listened grudgingly as three cler
gymen urged them to disband. The
clergymen took Sir Richard to a
private residence nearby as the
crowd milled about, threatening
the premier.

Colonel Neglects
Search for Baby
In Fighting Fire
Cheerful Hess Seen as Sign
Of Progress in Attempts
To Regain Infant
HOPEWELL, N. J., April 5—
(AP)—Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s
efforts to get back his kidnaped
son, which appear to be nearing a
climax, ware neglected for hours
today while the famous flier helped
beat out a brush fire that threat
ened his hilltop home.
Armed with an evergreen branch
and an axe, the colonel joined
more than 50 firemen, policemen,
neighbors, and newspapermen in
their stubborn fight against the
flames, which at one time swirled
within 15 feet of the house.
Lindbergh appeared in excellent
health. His cheerfulness as he
rested from his labor was inter
preted as an indication that he has
been making progress in his en
deavors to regain his 21-months
old son.
Other indications the climax in
the five-week-old case may be ap
proaching were:
The colonel's private work on
the case has reached a point where
he apparently wishes to work out
the developments himself.
The two mysterious trips he has
made within the last three days—
last night's trip by plane, appar
ently to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
For two nights a light has been
burning in the nursery from which
the chilli was stolen—it remained
in. darkness until this week.
The prolonged unexplained ab
sence from his Norfolk (Va.) home
of John Hughes Curtis, one of the
three intermediaries who have
held several conferences with
Colonel Lindbergh.

New Method Is Found
For Treating Cancer
NEW YORK, April r>.-(AP!
Discovery of new method of treat
ing cancer where it is most insid
ious, in the lymph nodes or inter
nal ducts of the body , was an
nounced here tonight.
The lymph node discovery was
described by Dr. Leon J. Menville
of New Orleans, X-ray expert. It
was developed with the aid of Dr.
J. N. Awe of Tulane university.
They found a method of inject

visible in X-rays.
Demos Oust Republican
To Seat Own Member
WASHINGTON, April 5 (AP;
- The Democratic House majority
voted today to oust a Republican
from Illinois and give his seat to a
Democrat.
Except for one of the votes,
when five Democrats left their
leaders, it was a straight ballot on
party lines that finally declared
Stanley H. Kunz, Democrat, duly
elected as representative of the
eighth Illinois district instead of
Peter C. Granata, Republican.
Garner To Push
Shoals Measure
WASHINGTON, April 5.— (AP)
— Muscle Shoals, one of the hard
iest political perennials, is sched
uled to make its 1932 appearance
in the house.
Speaker Garner announced today
his intention to give the latest so
lution of the $150,000,000 problem
inherited from the war a right of
way in the Democratic legislative
program.
The legislation follows in some
respects the bill that won a 216 to
153 house vote last session, only to
be vetoed by President Hoover.
It creates a government board
to lease the nitrate plants or to
operate them itself if no lease is
contracted within IS months. Un
like last year’s measure, it retains
for the board authority to lease the
plant on the Tennessee river even
after the government operation be
gins, if a satisfactory bid is made.

About Plank Structure
NEWARK, N. J„ April 5.—(AP)
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
tonight warned both political par
ties that the inclusion of wet
planks in their presidential plat

Reparations Not
Included in New
German Budgets
War Debts Are Ignored;
Baring of Nazi Plot
Arouses Furore
EERLIN, April_5—f AP)—The
German government is going
ahead with its financing plans on
the theory that there will be no
more reparations payments.
The budget for the fiscal year
1932-33, now in preparation, makes
no provision for war reparations, j
it was learned today. It is the
first time since the end of the j
conflict that this item has not
bulked large in the Reich’s finan
cial plans.
This development in Germany’s
foreign affairs shared interest to
day with a domestic political sen
sation—the publication of docu
ments seized from Adolf Heitler’s
national socialist party headquar
ters which, officials declared,
showed the Nazis had been ready
to take power by force and to
plunge the nation into civil war if
Hitler was successful in the initial
presidential election held March
13.
The action of the federal govern
ment in ignoring reparations re
quirements in budget plans is in
accordance with the declaration of
Chancellor Bruening last January
that continuation of such pay
ments was impossible and any at
tempt to maintain them “must
lead to disaster not only for Ger
many, but for the whole world.’’
The whole problem is to be dis
cussed at impending international
conferences. As matters stand,
Germany has no authority to fore
go her payments after the con
clusion of the Hoover moratorium
this summer.

Remarkable Recital Given
By Brockman and Halbert
By DAVE WILSON *
When Frances Brockman and
Howard Halbert appear on the
same program, there is no ten
dency to compare their abilities on
the violin. Each is brilliant in his
own way, and both owe to their
instructor, Rex Underwood, a
thorough mastery of fundamentals
which makes critical comment on
technique and style almost un
necessary.
Their joint recital at the music
auditorium last evening attracted
one of the largest audiences of the
year, and it was an audience which
showed no partiality in attention
or applause.
The program was remarkable.
It included selections from near
ly all the great names in violin
composition, ranging from 18th
century Tartini to 20th century
Sarasate. The violinists divided
two of the most difficult works
ever composed for the violin, Mis3
Brockman closing her group with
Bazzini’s "Witches’ Dance,” and
Halbert opening his with the Tar
tini "Devil’s Trill” sonata. The
masterful way in which they
handled these numbers proved
that both these young artists are
far beyond musical adolescence.
Miss Brockman opened with the
Mozart E-flat major concerto. The
reasons for such divergence of
opinion about Mozart as a com
poser for the violin , is probably
that he depends so very much on
what the violinist makes of him.
Miss Brockman made the most of
this purely classical concerto, and
then turned with equal effective
ness to the sharp contrast of
Vieuxtemps’ romantic and bravura
D-minor concerto. The "adagio
religioso” movement was sheer,
molten beauty.
She gave to Sarasate’s Spanish
dance No. 8 the true Castilian
verve and fire without sacrificing
in the slightest the clear incisive
ness of tone which distinguished
the first part of her program.
Halbert featured Lalo’s brilliant
“Symphonie Espagnole,” which, by
the way, was first played by Sara
sate, to whom Lalo dedicated it.
Thoroughly sound in the first two
movements, Halbert fairly
sparkled in the concluding "rondo.”
Both Miss Brockman and Hal
bert passed the acid test of long
unaccompanied passages with hon
ors, Miss Brockman in the andante
movement of the Mozart concerto,
and Halbert in the Tartini sonata,
where he gave an impressive exhi
bition of double-bowing.
Both soloists had the benefit of
Aurora Potter Underwood’s flaw
less accompaniments.
Social Calendar
Almost Complete
The social calendar for the
spring term is being rapidly com
pleted at the dean of women’s
office. Those organizations who
are entertaining with dances or
picnics are asked to schedule the
affair as soon as possible so the
entire list may be released, Mrs.
Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean
of women, said.
In connection with the schedul
ing of dances, the dean of women
calls the attention <Jf the new
social chairmen to the rules gov
erning dances. Dance petitions
are obtained in her office and must
be completely filled out and filed
one week before the date of the
dance.
As regards the patrons and pat
ronesses, Mrs. Macduff stressed the
fact that at least three couples
must have been invited and ac
cepted before the names may be
listed on the petition. Of these
three couples, two of them must
be of University connection. One
couple must remain at the place
the dance is given for the entire
evening, according to the instruc
tions given in the petition blank.

i
Art Students To Hold
Critical Review Series
A series of regular reviews con
ducted by the art department two
or three times during the term will
be held in the art gallery by the
students under the direction of
their professors. The purpose of
the work will be to teach the stu
dents to be critical, as well as
select art work to send to a na
tional exhibit.
An effort is being made to pro
mote publicity for the art work
of Oregon such as the "On to Ore
gon Idea.’’ Discussion in these
travel tours will be made on the
practical as well as aesthetic side
of art.
Plans are being formulated to
connect the different schools of
the art department in order that
they may work in cooperation.

Oregon, OSC Co-eds
Debate Reno Divorce
“Nevada’s dvorce statutes are
adequate and reasonable, her di
vorce laws no worse than any oth
er state, and the state is making
a distinct forward step in combat
ing the existing national evil.”
This was an argument of Jean
Lennard, Oregon debater, in up
holding the negative side of the
question: "Resolved, that the di
vorce laws of the state of Nevada
should be condemned,” in a no-de
cision debate held between the wo
men debate teams of Oregon jnd
Oregon State last night.
Adena Joy and Helen Haynes
upheld the affirmative for Oregon
State; Miss Lennard and Florence
Holloway represented Oregon.
The affirmative contended that
Reno divorces do not strike at the
root of the problem and that a law
calculated for nothing except rev
enue does not act to the best in
terests of society.

Farrell at McDonald
Charles Farrell and Marian
Nixon in “After Tomorrow,” which
opens at the McDonald today for
a two-day run, are together in the
same film for the first time since j
they both achieved a measure of
fame and fortune along separate
paths.
Shortly after Farrell dropped off
a train near Hollywood some years
ago with $18 in his pocket, he was
doing extra work in Mary Pick
ford's “Rosita,” and it was here
that he first met Miss Nixon. J
Since then Farrell has climbed the
ladder of success by means of his^
excellent performances with Janet
Gaynor.
“After Tomorrow” is the story
of two lovers who wish to get mar
ried, but are confronted by opposi
tion from their parents. William
Collier Sr. plays the part of the
girl’s father, and Minna Gombel,
who will be remembered as the
hard-boiled friend of Sally Eilers
in “Bad Girl,” plays the part of
the mother.
Colonial Has Boardman
“Women Love Once” has Eleanor
Boardman in the leading role with
Paul Lukas receiving the love, no
doubt. But what if two women
love one man? Juliette Compton,
Helen Johnson, and Geoffrey
Kerr also appear.
