The coolness of manner of the speaker ^ added to the' convincingness of the facts. Thompson and McKeown also presented splendid arguments. Judges for the event were James W. Crawford, circuit judge of Portland and president of the State Bar association; W. H. Brooke of Eugene; and S. M. Cal kins, Eugene attorney.

Mellon, America’s ambassador to Great Britain, tonight told the Pilgrims society there was nothing in world conditions so unprece y dented as to justify a lack of faith “in our capacity to deal with them.” This was the first public address as ambassador of the man who made millions in business and then administered the United States treasury under three presidents.

Quit the Gab and Serve the Grub, Orders Charley All Out for A1 Frank may be a straddler and Herb may be a puppet, but Al’s a man. Pussyfooting politics is the gredt American game and most of the boys sure know how to play it. But A1 let ’em have it straight from the shoulder yes terday, and came out four square with a clarion call for action. Maybe Smith can’t speak English, but he can talk Turkey. While Frank and Herb gamble for votes atop the fencepost. A1 throws down his challenge with the proposal: 1. Cancel the war debts.,, 2. Quit tariff log-rolling. 3. Leave liquor to the states. 4. Float bonds and give ’em work. If we’re ever going to wade out of the depression, we gotta quit talking and act. Get a man who’s got the nerve to do what he thinks—not what he’s told Let’s have some action—or we may get the kind that Auckland had. Slick speeches don’t put weight on hungry men.

Abolition Possible For All Weapons, Believes Speaker Eleanor Brannon Talks on Disarmament Problem At Open Meeting "The abolition of all aggressive weapons is within our reach,” de clared Eleanor Doddridge Bran non of Washington, D. C., associ ate secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, in a speech on “The Challenge of the World Disarmament Conference” yesterday morning in Guild the atre before an open meeting of Dr, John R. Mez’s class in interna tional organization and world poli ticsi “This was proposed by the Ita lian delegation and endorsed by many others," Miss Brannon said. “It would mean that all nations do away now with preparations for poison gas and germ warfare, with military aircraft, battleships, submarines, heavy artillery, and tanks. Such abolition would be a long step toward real disarma ment.” Miss Brannon gave several im perative reasons for the success of the World Disarmament confer ence. “If competition in armaments is allowed to continue,” she said, "it will inevitably end in another world war. Then, too, the gigantic waste of money spent on arms, amounting last year to four and one-half billions of dollars, for all nations, is driving us all deeper into the slough of economic de pression and despair.” Another reason is that the Allies’ failure to redeem their pledge of disarmament made to Germany in 1919 has caused such resentment there that, unless this conference begins to carry out the pledge, the Germans will insist upon re-arming to the level of the nations which surround them. Miss Brannon also stressed the necessity of the United States be coming a member of the League of Nations. The campus International Rela tions club had Miss Brannon as a guest at its first regular meeting of the term last night at Interna tional house. Gathering Places Of Nazis Raided BERLIN, April 14. (AP)—Po lice raided 150 gathering- places of the National Socialist “storm troops’’ today carrying out Presi ; dent Von Hindenburg’s order for 1 dissolution of the organization. Adolf Hitler told the Associated Press in an interview that the gov I ernment’s order would not put an ' en«i to the existence of the storm troops. "We’ll be back 600,000 strong,” he said. “Our storm troops were suppressed once before when we had only 20,000. When the ban was lifted we had 60,000. I “I tell you that we’ll get eight i to nine million votes in the Prus sian elections on the 24th. Togeth er with Hugenberg’s Nationalists we’ll take over the power and the ban on the troopers will be lifted." In a statement to his troopers Hitler denounced the order of sup pression as “a last blow of de spair” by the government, and named April 24, the date of the Prussian diet election, as “retal iation day.” “Our answer,” he said, “will not 1 be a parade but a sweeping finish ing stroke. As long as I live I be | long to you and you belong to me." 'O.K.’ Meyers Great Fellow, CampusLearns Vic Becomes Collegiate After Interview Personality Mayor Tells of Campaign, Queries About Football By CAROL HURLBURT “O. K.” Vic Meyers, personality mayor from Seattle, made his famous an swer and with it turned collegiate . . . the “result a free dance last night at Cocoanut Grove, through the courtesy of Joe Sims, owner of the Grove, to which every member of the campus was invited. It all grew out of an interview. Bill Duniway and I tore down to the Eugene hotel to^neet Vic. He’s a great guy. Took us up to his room, showed us his press clip pings, told us about his campaign, smoked a cigarette with us, (in fact, he lights one cigarette from another) asked about our football team. And then Russ Dickson ap peared upon the scene. The Betas wanted a serenade. Serenade? What’s That? Vic didn’t seem to know what a sei-enade was. “How would you work it?" he asked. “Wouldn’t there be too much noise that time of night ? “Which is the largest fraternity house on the campus? Why could n't you get some students there af ter dinner and we could play for them before the dance tonight at Midway?” Fine! "What about Cocoanut Grove?” suggested Duniway. So Cocoanut Grove it turned out to be. You know the rest. What a man! But what kind of a man, you ask. What does he look like? What did he say? He looks like a Spaniard, swarthy, very black hair, heavy black eye-brows, a black mustache that should be the envy of every college senior, a nose that looks like a prize-fighter’s, short square hands, blunt finger-nails. Wore a well-tailored light grey suit, striped; soft blue shirt, bright blue figured tie. Picture of a cosmo politan, interesting. Not One Wisecrack Here is the most amazing thing about him: he didn't wise-crack! (Continued on Page Pour) Registration Open For U. O. Voters Students eligible to vote at the coming primary election will have the opportunity to register at booths at Johnson hall Monday and Tuesday, it was announced yesterday by Brian Mimnaugh.

House Libraries Will Be Founded ^Lists of preferred books and magazines will be compiled by each living organization for use in establishing libraries in all resi dences, it was announced yester day following the meeting of com mittees representing the Oregon Mothers and campus groups. A composite list of books and magazines based on the prefer ences of the individual groups will be used in purchasing books and subscribing to periodicals, it is planned. This would make obtain ing wholesale prices possible, it is believed. The tentative plans call for periodical libraries in each house, permanent collections of books in the residences and possibly a set of books to circulate from the lib rary among the living groups. Members of the Oregon Mothers committee are Mrs. F. W. Bond, president; Mrs. Walter Cook and Mrs. J. F. Hill, all of Portland. Mrs. Alice B. Macduff and Dean Karl Onthank represent the fac ulty on the committee.
