Goodman Speaks
Of Criminal Laws
Irving Goodman, prominent Port
land attorney and defender in the
Boloff criminal syndicalism case,
speaking on "The Crisis and Re
pressive Legislation" .last night jit
Johnson hall, pointed out the
harmful effects of the application
of state criminal syndicalism laws
on the constitutional rights of
freedom of speech and the press.
Mr. Goodman cited many cases
throughout the country in which
capitalistic organizations have
taken advantage of such laws as
those of criminal syndicalism laws
in effecting disaster to forms of
organized labor protests. He stat
ed that industrial and capitalistic
organizations were keeping the la
boring masses divided against
themselves.
“As far as our constitutions
guaranteeing the laborer freedom
of speech and the press, they have
been merely scraps of paper,” he
said. Mr. Goodman cited cases in
California, Georgia, Oregon, Michi
gan, and Alabama in which the
constitutional rights of the people
had been denied.

A Postoffice Can
Seduce Honesty,
Declares Charley
Chlselers All.
The annual grab-bag is under
way.
Every congressman from
Pumpkinvine to Pulpit Harbor
is staging a fight to bring home
the bacon. Our Washington cor
respondent gleefully announces
Oregon gets $7 back for every
dollar paid in taxes.
Every state, every town, ev'*
ery industry is busily engaged
slitting the other fellow’s throat.
Pasadena gets a postoffice and
the taxpayers foot the bill.
North Dakota gets a sugar tar
iff and we all pay our tithe. The
grab-bag should be called a hog
wallow.
But we’re happy. We’ve got
the lumber tariff.
Contentedly,

Lineup Suffers

Cougar Series
Infield Positions Take
Drastic Overhauling
Ken Seales Scheduled To
Hurl Initial Contest
With WSC Today
When the walloping Webfoots
of Oregon meet the Cougars of
Washington State college today
and tomorrow, there will be a dras
tic change in the Oregon lineup.
Due to the rather feeble efforts of
the Ducks in the last game with
Oregon State, and also in recent
practice sessions, Coach Bill Rein
hart has solemnly sworn to reor
ganize his attack to functiop in
the manner he believes it capable
of doing.
Bill's first move was to put
“Slug” Palmer in “Duke” Shane
man’s place as catcher. Palmer, a
veteran outfielder, has not been
used as yet in conference games,
but looks good behind the bat, and
is a great friend of the pitchers.
Unless Reinhart changes his mind
at the last minute he will proba
bly start the first Cougar game
today.
Londahl Third Base
Captain Johnny Londahl was not
exempt from the overhauling,
either. He will be tried at third
base now, instead of the keystone
sack, and looks like a natural.
Londahl possesses a fine throwing
arm which helps him greatly in
the new position. In place of Lon
dahl at second Reinhart has moved

Means Arrested
In Lindbergh Case
WASHINGTON, May 5.—(AP)
—The world-wide search for the
kidnaped Lindbergh baby was
echoed dramatically today in the
arrest of Gaston B. Means on a
charge of obtaining $100,000 on
false representations that he could
obtain the child from his abduc
tors.
Department of justice agents
arrested the former justice depart
ment investigator after a secret
inquiry into allegations that he
had been paid the money by Mrs.
Edward B. McLean, wife of the
publisher of the Washington Post.
Mrs. McLean said in a statement
through her attorney, Albert W.
Fox, that Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh, father of the kidnaped
child, knew of her activities but
that they were kept secret from
her closest friends.
The weird negotiations conduct
ed by Mrs. McLean, her attorney
said, led to Aiken, South Caro
lina, where she met Means and a
rough-looking individual armed
with guns who represented himself
to be one of the kidnaping gang.
