Herndon Wins
First Prize in
Hilton Contest
$50 Awarded for Talk
On Law Question
Thompson, McKeown Get
Second, Third Places
f Last Night
Roy Herndon won the first prize
of $50 last night when seven men
spoke at Guild hall in an endeavor
to capture one of three prizes
offered in the annual Hilton speak
ing contest. Herndon is a senior
in law registered from Freewater.
The $50 prize is offered each year
by Frank H. Hilton, Portland at
torney.
Avery Thompson, Salem, was
awarded second place and received
$25. A prize of $15 went to Joe
McKeown, judged third best
speaker of the evening. Second
and third prizes are offered by the
law school.
Arguments were given on the
question: “What is the proper in
terpretation of the following pro
visions in section 3 of article 7
of the Oregon constitution — ‘no
fact tried by a jury shall be other
wise re-examined in any other
court unless the court can affirm
atively say that there is no evi
dence to support the verdict—
Herndon’s talk was outstanding
for its analytical reasoning. 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. Judge
Crawford was the principal speak
er at a dinner held at the Osborn
hotel preceding the contest.
The other four speakers on the
evening’s program included Otto
Frohnmayer, Wu Tang, Charles
Donloff, and Howard Green.
Skyscraper Idea
Used at Banquet
Tower, frame-work, and founda
tion of the Y. W. C. A. “skyscrap
er” were described by officers of
the organization at the annual
membership banquet last night at
the Anchorage.
Pledging the cooperation of the
new cabinet in an attempt to
y broaden the religious interest of
the Y. W. next year, Aimee Sten,
president, portrayed the tower of
the skyscraper, used as the theme
of the banquet.
Considered as a tavern, cathe
dral,, or factory, the organization
can nuild its own structure, Miss
Margaret Edmundson, executive
secretary, said in filling out the
frame work.
A br.ief history of the advisory
board, its work and future plans
were presented by Mrs. Fred Mill
er, member of the board. Helen
Chaney, president during the past
year, introduced the speakers. Mu
sic for the program was provided
by Louise Rice.
Confidence Voiced
By Mellon in Talk
LONDON, April .14 — (AP)
Hailing a new era, Andrew W.
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.
He spoke before a distinguished
audience of 400 or more, including
the prince of Wales, Sir John
Simon, foreign secretary, and Lord
Derby, who presided.
iserore ms aaaress me amoas
sador drank toasts in champaigne
to King George and the president
of the United States, in accordance
with his previously expressed in
tention to conform to the customs
of the country to which he had
been named ambassador.
Those Englishmen who had
hoped for some indication that Mr.
Mellon’s mission to Great Britain
was to arrange the revision, per
haps the cancellation of war
t debts, were disappointed.

audience. Because he is confined

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!

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.
The registration will be under
the direction of Orville Bailey and
Melvin McConnell. These men will
be deputized by County Clerk W.
B. Dillard, it was said by Mim
naugh.
Members of the speakers com
mittee will visit all living organi
zations within the next few days
to tell of the process of and need
for registration as a voter. The
time for the visits will be an
nounced later.
State law provides that to be
eligible to vote a citizen must be
registered with the county clerk of
the county in which he is a resi
dent. Students who are residents
of other counties than Lane may
vote here for state and national
officers, but will not be eligible
to for local officers of Lane
county.
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.
