COMPLETE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VOLUME XXXIII_ . _UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, MAY 12. 1932___NUMBER 123 First Session Of Parliament Tonightat7:30 Naming of Oregon Man! Will Be Opposed Student Representatives To Discuss Consolidation, Power of Body ISSUES BEFORE PARLIAMENT Consolidation of University and college at Corvallis. Naming of chancellor from among Oregon educators. Gaining of legislative power for parliament within next year. Obtaining stationery and op erating aid from the A. S. U. O. By JULIAN PRESCOTT For its first session tonight the Student Parliament of the Univer sity of Oregon will have before it two matters expected to bring forth considerable discussion. They are: Opposition to selection of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall or Dr. Wil liam Jasper Kerr as chancellor, and decision as to working for legisla tive power in the parliament. The session will be held in Guild hall at 7:30 o’clock tonight, it was announced yesterday by Art Pot win, presiding officer. He expects the meeting to close shortly after 9 o’clock. Parliament Asks Stationery Other matters to come up in the session include: a request that the A. S. U. O. through the graduate manager's office supply the parlia ment with the necessary stationery for keeping its records and for carrying on communication with other groups. The additional problem of wheth er the Associated Students should actively oppose the initiative meas ure to consolidate the University and college on the Corvallis cam pus has been tossed into the ring for the members of the parliament to pick to pieces when they meet tonight. The steering committee, meeting last night at the Kappa house, added this topic to the cal endar. The grounds on which the presi dents of the University and of the college will be opposed are that they probably have formed preju dices through their service and would consciously or unconsciously favor one institution. The resolu tion opposing the presidents also urges that representatives of the undergraduates be heard on prob lems of student life. I'otwin i rges Attendance Students who are not delegates as well as those who are have been urged lay Potwin to attend the meeting. Discussions by individ uals will be cut short to give op portunity for hearing as many del egates as possible. Potwin yesterday issued the fol lowing call to all students to turn out for the parliamentary meeting: “Tonight the parliament will face several important problems on which the students will have a real opportunity to voice their opinions. Some of the resolutions expected to be adopted will be carried throughout the state. Every Ore gon student should accept this chance and come, if not as a reg ular member with voting power, at least as a member of the student body with speaking privileges.” More Oreganas To Be Distributed By Bailey Today IJISTRIBI'TION of the 1032 Oregana will continue at the Igloo this afternoon start ing at 1:30 o'clock, Roger Bailey, business manager of the yearbook, said last night.

The bust is the work of Rex Sorenson, senior in art, and will be cast in bronze today. After it is completed it will be placed in a prominent spot in Lakeview. More than a decade ago, Dr. Daly died and left his entire for tune of $1,000,000 as a trust fund to be used for educating young men and women of Lake county. Since that time approximately 200 students have gone from that county to institutions of higher learning and have had all their expenses paid for four years. Sorenson has won high praise from those who have seen the bust which he has completed. Sorenson has been a student in the depart ment of sculpture here under Oli ver L. Barrett for three years. Rogues and Scalawags Run Loose in Faculty Club Show All the gay rogues and scala wags of “Merrie England” are as sembled in the Faculty club pres entation, “The Beggar’s Opera," to be presented Friday and Satur day nights and Saturday afternoon in the school of music auditorium. From the sly pickpocket Filch, to the swaggering highwayman, MacHeath, all the droll characters of joyous old England are present. Wrapped in a glorious outlay of the fashionable dress of the time (1726) and swept up with the| cheery songs and ballads with which the old English regaled themselves, the production pre-1 sents some of the finest voices in the state. Let not the title deceive you. No sedate operatic OPERA is this. No “high-brow” stab at the artis tic and aesthetic. It is gay. naughty, vivacious comedy, and has an appeal both to the layman and the experienced music-lover. The entire production is under the direction of S. Stephenson Smith, who in addition takes the part of Filch. All vocal work is under the supervision of Madame Rose McGrew, of the school of music. One of the finest baritones in these parts has been uncovered with the appearance of Gifford Nash as MacHeath, man of brag godocio. He is ably supported by Grace Burnett, noted soprano a3 Polly Peachum. Other well-known figures in musical circles make their bows also. Among these are Agnes Petzold as Lucy Lockit, Guy Wernham as Peachum, Sally Addleman as Mrs. Peachum, and Carl Klippei in the role of Lockit. The costumes range from bril liant peach to sober grey, portray ing every taste and fancy of the well - dressed London scoundrel. Practically every character in the (Continued on Page Four) Pitchers’ Duel Won by Idaho Off Ken Scales Oregon’s Hurler Loses Tough Battle, 1-0 ‘Fred Merkle’ Incident in Seventh Canto Wrecks Webfoot’ Chances By DICK NEUBERGER Ken Scales lost the kind of a ball game yesterday you hate to see a pitcher drop. He did every tning Due stana the Idaho Van d a 1 s on their ears, but had the |misfortune to work against a. 1 young fellow named Harold Jacobs, who kept the Webfoots guessing from the time he Kermit Stevens ascended the mound at the start of the game until his teammates made the fi nal putout in the ninth inning Scales and Jacobs each were per suaded to give up four hits, but the Vandals bunched theirs a bit more effectively and brought Earl McNeely down the trail from third in the fifth inning with the only run of the encounter. The score was 1 to 0. It was the first victory of the season for the Vandals and sur prised them almost as much as the defeat stunned the Webfoots. It likewise prolonged an Oregon losing streak to four straight and made imminent the possibility of a drastic shakeup in the Webfoot lineup. About the only encourag ing performance yesterday was contributed by Scales. He pitched (Continued on Page Four) Breuning Defends Foreign Policies Before Reichstag Debt Cancellation,' World Disarmament Urged by German Chancellor BERLIN, May II.— (AP) — To the accompaniment of heckling from the National Socialists and the Communists, Chancellor Hein rich Bruening defended his foreign and domestic policies before the Reichstag today. There has been no change in the German position that it is impos sible to continue reparation pay ments, the chancellor said, since that policy was first announced to I the world last January. There is increasing evidence that other 1 powers are coming to realize the justice of the German view, Dr. Bruening averred. Without complete cancellation of political debts, there can be no economic recovery for the i world, the 'Chancellor told the Reichstag, and postponement of payment, or even final payment in one lump sum, is not acceptable. ‘‘The will to disarm is increas ing. What we want, briefly, is restoration of Germany’s equality through general disarmament,” he I declared. He pledged his government to rescind measures restricting com merce and to remove tariff walls as soon as other nations do like wise. I Military Honorary Names 12 Pledges Scabbard and Blade, national military honorary, pledged 12 men to their order yesterday as a fea ture of the third parade which the R. O. T.

Japanese Assert Shanghai Troops To Be Withdrawn Movement Already Started Will Be Compared by End of Month TOKYO, May 11.— (AP)—1The Japanese government announced today that in order “to end the world-wide odium which has fallen i upon us” the remaining members J of the Shanghai expeditionary fore- I es will be withdrawn within a j month. About 1500 Japanese troops still are in Shanghai. When they have been evacuated, only a small de tachment of bluejackets will re main there. The decision to evac uate was made by the cabinet yes terday and was approved by Em peror Hirohito this afternoon. As soon as the emperor had given his consent orders covering the troop movement were telegraphed to General Yoshinora Shirakawa, the commander at Shanghai. Japanese evacuation will mark the return to conditions as they existed before the outbreak at Shanghai last January. The Shanghai clash came after skirmishes between Japanese resi dents of the city and Chinese po lice and after an attack by a Chi nese mob on five Japanese Budd hist monks. Behind these differ ences was the Chinese boycott against Japanese goods which arose from the Japanese military adventure in Manchuria. Senate Resolute On Expense Slash WASHINGTON, May 11 -(APj —Determined legislators sat down today on capital hill to carve $300, 000,000 from government expendi tures with the personal promise from President Hoover of full co operation. The senate’s special economy committee went to work behind closed doors after talking things over at the breakfast table with the president and fiscal aides. The goal of $300,000,000 was mutually acceptable to Mr. Hoover and the senators. As the economy drive went ahead at full steam, the other twin of the budget balancing legis lative team—the billion dollar tax bill—was brought to the verge of, consideration with the presenta tion of a report to the senate by the finance committee. Senate leaders hope to take it up tomor row.

He politely declined. Mr. Hoover gently vetoed a Democratic measure to shear him of his power to raise or lowgr customs duties. Tariff lobbyists must continue to go to to the president instead of con gress. I doubt if it’s personal jeal ousy that prompted hi3 veto. Here’s his reason: “There never has been a time in the history of the United States when tar iff protection was moi;e essen tial to the welfare of the Amer ican people.’’ Righto, we need protection, echoes Charley. Pro tection FROM the tariff. That’s altruism for you! America first, last and always. Buy Boston shoes: they’re only twice as much. Buy Wisconsin cheese: it’s nearly as good as Swiss. Buy Dakota sugar: it’s more than Cuban. Attaboy, Herbert. And how about yanking the fillings out of your teeth ? The silver prob ably came from Mexico.

Citizens of Sodom* Gomorrah Believed Highly Cultured ROME, May 11.—(AP)—The in habitants of Sodom and Gomorrah reached a high state of culture before they were destroyed by “brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.” Such is the conclusion of Jesuit archaeologists of the Pontifical Biblical Institute of Rome, who are unearthing near the Jordan what they believe to be the twin cities of "very grievous” sin. The excavators have concluded that 4000 years ago, in the later bronze age, the supposed cities, where there were not ten righteous men, held residents who knew how to paint murals and to write a language. An anonymous American and the pope have financed the expe ! dition. It has uncovered mural ' paintings declared by the institute j to be the oldest yet found in Medi terranean countries with the pos i sible exception of Egypt. Dozens of flat pieces of pottery 1 with marks of a crude alphabet [ on them have not yet been Ue ciphered. A large number of oth ers, produced by workmen, who were given small tips on finding objects of archaeological interest, were found to be present day fakes they had planted on the site. The excavators found stone ovens in the irrectangular houses. These are similar to those still in use in some peasant parts of northern France, England, Wales, and Ireland. The residents of the destroyed cities made vases and bowls with great skill, the specimens indi cate. Hand flour mills of stone came to light. These were worked by; two women, said Father Semkow ski. Shells from the Dead sea were used as household ornaments. Some shells, however, seem to have come from Egypt, indicating the people of Sodom and Gomor rah engaged in commerce with the Egyptians. Fathers Mallon and Koeppel were unable to find any trace of walls.
