Couple Attacked, Beaten to Death NEW YORK, April 20.—(AP) — An estranged father and husband was found slain at Garden City, Long Island, today beside his fa tally wounded young woman com panion, whose lips were sealed with adhesive tape. The man was Ed ward B. Brinker Jr., 35, a sign painter. On an envelope attached j to a stick a few inches from his j head were written his name and address. Miss Rose J. Welk, 24, a sten ographer, was found beside him, unconscious from a blow which had tom her skull open. The clothing of both victims were soiled with dirt. Miss Welk died soon after S being taken to a Nassau hospital. Brinker had been beaten and stabbed. The assailants had struck the pair down in open field, only a few feet from a lane used by automo biles. The ground was tom up, in dicating a struggle but the envel ope containing Brinker’s name and address was the only apparent clue. Hot Baum Case Clue Turns Cold, Cops Chagrined State police and a local officer yesterday found the car which left the tread-marks on the paper dropped by Ann Baum when she was struck down Monday night by a hit-and-run driver. The car, with tires identical to that which police had been seek ing for two days, was a tan Ford coupe, had a dented fender and a cut on one of the tires. It was parked near the College Side inn. Officer Jerry Hoyt and a state policeman watched it superstiti ously for half an hour, hoping to nab the culprit when he should start to drive off in it. Students, sensing the tense situ ation, began to cluster about un obtrusively, to be in at the kill. And then the owner appeared! Anti-climax! It was Ferd Fletcher, varsity swimmer and president of the Phi Delt house, the man who had jumped into his car after the accident and pur sued the hit-and-run driver until he lost the fleeing car in the dark ness. Fletcher's car, passing over the scene shortly after the other, had left the tread marks on which the police were pinning so much faith.

Paderewski Puzzled By Report of Mortgage SEATTLE, April 20 —(API — Ignace Jan Paderewski, Polish pianist, today professed to be \ greatly puzzled by a report from Santa Barbara, Calif., that he had mortgaged his ranch, Punta de Laguna, for $100,000. “It is not true,” he said. “There is no reason for a mortgage. I am free of indebtedness. I have not tried to mortgage it.” His manager, L. J. Fitzgerald, however, revealed that Paderewski recently tried to sell the property for $150,000, without success. Oregon To Be Host Today For Visiting Deans Delegates From All West Gather on Campus AWS Program Completed; Banquet Is Selieduled For OSC Tonight EUGENE PROGRAM 1:00—Luncheon, Hendricks hall. 2:30—Tour of campus (presi dents). 2:30-3:30—Deans’ meeting, wo men's lounge of Gerlinger. 3:00—Presidents’ meetin, Susan Campbell. 3:30-4:30—Tea, Hendricks hall. 5:00—Leave for Corvallis.

Since the students were unable to see Miss Swafford and compare her with the other candidates, the Emerald takes the liberty of pre^ senting this description, gleaned from various sources: Very attractive brunette, hair slightly wavy; tall and slender; graceful carriage, patrician bear ing; blue eyes, dark lashes; regu lar features, of a type probably best described as Grecian; and a pleasing personality. Members Elected By Theta Lambda At the closed business meeting of Beta Lambda, biological honor ary, Thursday night, April 14, the following new members were chosen: Active members from Eugene—• Virginia Patterson, Elizabeth Phil lips, Peter Akse, Margaret Boone, James Brooks, Paul Campbell, Ruth Carson, Robert Coen, Jane Cooke, Irvin Hill, Ruth Holt, Mar garet Litcher, Gladys Simons, Mrs. Ruth Springer, Eleonor Thurston, and Sigfried von Bertheldorf.

Invitations to faculty member ship are extended to Dr. Rosalind Woolsen, Dr. H. B. Yocom, Dr. R. R. Huestis, Dr. A. R. Moore, and Dr. Ernest Gellhogi. Honorary membership was con ferred upon Dr. A. R. Sweetser, Dr. E. L. Packard, Professor L. F. Henderson, and Miss Harriet W. Thompson. The new members will be initi ated by the organization the eve ning of May 5. Three W hite Mule Candidates Answer Dark Horse9 Plea 1 'Tiro-Hour Working Day For Milk-Fad Athletes Cries Potter By JOSHUA LITTLE With the flipping of a coin, three slightly off-color dark horses chose their presidential candidate for the coming A, S. U. O. elections last night and cast their somewhat besmirched derbies into the campus political ring. Cliff Potter, self-appointed chair man of the mill race observatory committee, heads the new combine. Johnny Londahl, campus daven port shiek, having lost to Potter when the coin was flipped, is the vice-presidential candidate. “Red” Wilson, rumble seat king, is the third member of the draft-liorse trio, and is running for Senior Man. Declaring that campus politics needed new life and some clearly defined issues, the hard-thinking trio made a firm stand for “shorter hours and better working condi tions for athletes.” Feeling that the living conditions and morale of the campus should be greatly improved, the Three Horsemen are advocating: “Abol ishment of street lights in Hen dricks park;” “Re-forestation of the Mill Race;” and “An Open Door Policy for Sorority Houses.” r The new political juggernaut also announced that no appoint ments would be made outside of their immediate families. It is re ported that inimical persons are wondering if there will be enough jobs to go around. Other platform planks are: "Im mediate Installation of Preferred Pledging," “Varsity letter wards ! for ping pong players,” and "Larg ■ or and warmer rumble seats for muscle-bound athletes.” In a lengthy interview, during | which we consumed many cups of . beverage coffee- the Ethiopian I Trio confided their far-reaching ideals. Truly, your little reporter was deeply moved by the magnifi cence of their altruism. Potter, in his official statement to the press, stated that he con sidered as his main qualification, the fact that he was NOT chair man of CHRISTMAS REVELS and NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COLONIAL ROUT. (The "caps” were introduced as his own request.) Hank Heyden, old-time political boss on the campus, will head the Charge of the Black Horse Bri gade as campus manager. Heyden announced that all fi jnancial contributions will be re | ceived with hilarious shouts and | tears of joy. He stated that food would also be acceptable. Saturday Paper To Be Published By Women Alone Sleele Chosen Staff Head, Wentz Managing Editor, Ballantyne on Desk The appearance of the women’s edition of the Emerald has been definitely set for Saturday, April 23. With most of the executive po sitions filled, plans are taking shape rapidly and the feminine journalists promise the men some of the stiffest competition they have ever had. Jessie Steele will serve as editor; Virginia Wentz, managing editor; Eleanor Jane Ballantyne, day edi tor; Esther Hayden, sports editor; Lenore Ely, telegraph; and Mar jorie Warner, society. The beat list will be completed today and any women desiring to work are urged to sign up on the main bulletin board in the shack. This year marks the third anni versary of competition between the men’s and women’s staffs. The two special editions are judged by George Turnbull, professor of jour nalism, and other members of the faculty. Workers on the losing sheet entertain the winning jour nalists with a party and feet at the shack.” The women were victorious last year and are confident of being en tertained by their male competi tors again this spring. Sheldon To Talk Before Educational Conference Dean H. D. Sheldon of the edu cation school will speak in Mon mouth on Saturday of this week at the Education convention. His topic will be "The Historical Tastes of Children.” He will also speak at the joint Phi Delta Kappa and Pi Lambda Theta banquet on Saturday evening. Mr. W. G. Beattie of the exten sion division and Dr. Nelson L. Bossing and Fred L. Stetson of the education school will also attend the meeting. De Valera’s Figlit To Omit Oath Gains DUBLIN, Irish Free State, April 20—(APj—President Eamon De Valera today got past the first leg islative barricade in his battle to scrap the oath of allegiance to the British crown. The Dail Eireann passed on the first reading the abolition measure he promised to the Irish voters when he asked them to turn the government of the Free State over to his Fianna Fail party. There was no division—that is, no tabulated vot<v The action post poned until next Wednesday the fiery debate that advocates and op ponents of the proposal expect. The way for this argument was paved by Deputy McDermott, in dependent, who served formal no tice of objection to the measure. West, Northwest Unite in Appeal For Timber Tariff Oregon ami Washington Mill Men Address Finance Body WASHINGTON, April 20—(AP) —Lumber interests of the West and Northeast united today to drive the tariff wedge a little far ther into the new tax bill. Before the senate finance com mittee, they demanded import tax es on lumber, shingles, logs, pulp wood and wood pulp. Prompt op position was voiced from lumber manufacturers along the Canadian border of the midwest and from users of newsprint paper. The lumbermen of the North west and Maine told the committee their industry was threatened with destruction if aid was not obtained by import taxes on foreign import ers. Appeals came from a dozen wit nesses, principally from Washing ton and Oregon. W. B. Greeley, on behalf of the West Coast Lumber (Continued on Page Four) Faculty Club To Show ‘Outward Bound’ Today “Outward Bound” is the picture to be shown at the Colonial the atre this afternoon, under the sponsorship of the Faculty club. There will be three showings, starting at 2 o’clock. The show includes an all-star cast, and is now enjoying a highly successful “revival” in New York, it is an nounced. Charley Predicts Japan’s Defeat In The Cash Account No Savvy Japan won’t agree. When a bunch of militarists grab the reins of government, good sense flies out the win dow. And the military gang is bucking the League of Nations and the world. Just as America went wild with patriotism in 1917, so the Land of the Rising Sun is in the throes of jingoism. Whenever the masses get sick of starving the big boys drum up a war. Flag waving is a sure tonic for empty stomachs. The Japs are tired of tighten- | ing their belts. So they’re told to blame the Chinese. And another batch marches forth to death and glory. So depres sion’s toll grows larger. But the deep, dark secret, I’m told, is :ariff. Mebbe so; they’ve blamed about everything else. Japan may win on the battle field but she’ll be beaten on her i budget. And the balance sheet is mightier than the war-cry. Didactically, WEBFOOT CHARLEY. 'Pioneer at End Of Trail’To Be Statue Theme Vice - President Barker Tells Conception Mother Is Memorialized in Work by Proetor; Unveiling May 7 The statue of the Pioneer \ Mother, which Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University, will present and unveil on the cam pus May 7, will commemorate “the pioneer mother in the sunset of her life, drinking in the beauty and peace of the afterglow of her twilight days.” Mr. Barker told his conception of the statue for the first time last night to a group of 60 stu dents gathered at a banquet in the men's new dormitory. Presidents of fraternities, sororities, and dor mitory units heard Mr. Barker’s message. Brian Mimnaugh, presi dent of the associated students, in troduced the vice-president. Statues Show Hardships “Kansas City has perpetuated the pioneer mother, and stressed the hardships of her journey,” Mr. Barker began. “Oklahoma, through the efforts of Mr. Marland, pur poses to perpetuate her sorrows, and stressed her manner and fashion of dress, the sunbonnet.. Some of the models go further and accentuate the instrument of toil, the ax, or her weapon of defense, the rifle, or the symbol of sorrow, the arrow. “All these are vital and historic ally correct, but they perpetuate the hardships she braved, the struggles she endured, the battles she fought and the sorrows she (Continued on Page Pour) Pigging Femmes Cause Big Mortar Board Ticket Sale Campus women strongly feel their dbligations to the Joe Col leges this year, as evidenced by early returns of the Motar Board ball ticket sale. Alexis Lyle, chair man, last night reported several houses to be rapidly climbing to wards the 100 per cent sales mark, and Eugene florists have taken a large number of button-hole-flower orders. After the first day of sales Chi Omega was going strong with a 65 per cent sale, closely followed by Alpha Delta Pi. Sales are being stimulated by the offer of a free ticket for every 20 sold. Marian Chapman is in charge of the sale at the Co-op, where tickets may be secured by those living off the campus. Patrons and patronesses for the ball, as announced by Carolyn Ha berlach, will be: Dr. and Mrs. Arn old Bennett Hall, Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Schwering, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, Mr. and Mrs. David Gra ham, Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, Miss Margaret Boyer, Miss Beatrice Milligan, and Miss Margaret Edmundson. Date for Banquet Changes To May 3 The date for the International banquet, announced yesterday for May 10, has been changed to May 3. The shift in dates was an nounced last night by Ethan New man, who was appointed chairman of the banquet by Brian Mimnaugh, A. S. U. O, president. The shift was made, Mimnaugh explained, so that the Internation al affair would not conflict with a banquet to be given for Dean Faville by the B. A. school on the night of the 10th. Newman has arranged coopera tion between the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Philomelete, Internation i al house, Cosmopolitan club and International Relations club for the banquet. Negotiations have been opened to secure an internationally known speaker for the banquet, Newman stated, adding that he did not wish to disclose his name until he learned if the speaker would be able to attend. The banquet this year replaces the International week which has been held in previous years. As yet the place for it is undecided, al j though it will probably be held in | the men's dormitory. Forum Officer This is Ditv id Wilson, who last night was named by Brian Mlm nuugli us chairman of the commit tee to study membership and or ganisation of the student forum. Nearly 100 representatives of liv ing organisations met in Guild hall to discuss a permanent forum to express student opinion.

Insurance Official Talks To Fan Xenia Members E. A. Valentine, vice-president of the Fireman’s Fund insurance company, of Portland, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by Pan Xenia, foreign trade hon orary, at the Anchorage last night, Mr. Valentine, who is on a day’s visit to Eugene, spoke on the vary ing aspects of marine insurance.

Students Staff Representative Group at Meet Responsible Government For A.S.U.O. Talked Wilson Heads Committee To Study Membership, Organization By JULIAN P. PRESCOTT Responsible student government based on a parliamentary form was proposed at the meeting of the student forum last night in Guild hall. Permanent organization of the forum was started with the ap pointment by Brian Mimnaugh of a committee to study membership and form. The proposal for a legislative assembly came from Ralph David, representative of Pi Kappa Alpha. His forum would be organized along the lines of the British house of commons with student body of ficers and executive council corre sponding to the ministry and cabi net. Council Would Continue The executive council would be continued in its present form of four faculty members, seven stu dent members and four graduate members. The seven student mem bers would be elected from the forum and thus would be con trolled by the majority opinion of the student representatives. The functions of the graduate manager and executive council would be directly responsible to the students through the forum. The chairman of the student delegation to the executive council would be the student body presi dent, who would be named by the forum. Other officers of the As sociated Students would also be elected by the forum. Miller Gives Opinion Robert Miller, Phi Delta Theta representative, saw in this organi zation of the forum and student body offices a means of having the executive council a mirror in which to reflect the wishes of stu dents on matters in which the campus is vitally interested. He pointed out that there is now no such means provided. Since the members of the forum would be elected by the various living organizations, this body would vote on matters as the ma jority of students wished, Miller pointed out. The executive coun cil would in turn reflect the opin ion of the forum. Mimnaugh expressed the fear that the forum as a legislative body would not be allowed to func tion. His announced plan for the forum was that it would be a body in which the students might ex press opinions and adopt resolu tions to be presented to the board of higher education, administra tion and executive council. Problems Listed Problems on which Mimnaugh saw definite need for concrete ex pression of student opinion include functioning of student officers, de ferred pledging, compulsory mili tary training, student cars, aboli tion of homecoming, University nickname, athletic policy, “co-op” store policy and others. Considerable discussion was giv (Continued on Cage Two) Mu Plii Epsilon To Honor Guest Mu Phi Epsilon, women's nation al music honorary, is making plan3 for the entertainment of Mrs. Hel ena Redewell, national editor of the honorary, who is coming from San Francisco April 27 to inspect the local chapter.
