Senate Heads Renew
Relief Compromise Tilt
WASHINGTON', May 18.—(AP)
—Senate leaders renewed efforts
today for a compromise federal re
lief program and hurriedly gave
assurance of action as a warning
of a third party movement was
sounded on the floor of this issue.
The warning, from Senator Bo
rah (Ft., Idaho), who has been fre
quenttly mentioned in connection
with third party possibilities, drew
a prompt reply from Senator Wat
son of Indiana, the Republican
leader, that congress would pro
vide for the jobless before adjourn

Bill Would Eliminate
First-Class Postmaster
WASHINGTON, May 18.—(AP)
-—Charging the postoffice depart
ment had been used primarily for
political purposes by the Hoo
ver administration, Representative
Maas (Republican, Minnesota) to
day introduced a bill to abolish all
first-class postmasters and sal
aries.
Maas said the work of the post
masters was done by their assist
ants or the superintendents of
mail.
Asserting in a formal statement
the measure was in the interest
of economy and would save $10,
000,000 a year, the Minnesotan
added it “will eliminate the worst
feature of the spoils system in po
litical patronage.”
Greed, Atheism, Are
Denounced by Pope
VATICAN CITY, May 18.—(AP)
—Pope Pius XI warned the world
today against greed, atheism, com
munism and nationalistic impe
rialism, threatening anarchy and
terrorism in this time of “spiritual
and economic distress.”
Treaties and conferences are in
vain, he said in an encyclical, un
less “there triumphs moral law
based on God ana conscience.”
Speculators had caused much woe
and from “so much economic dis
tress” communists and “enemies
of all social order,” profited.
DOLLAR FUNERAL HELD
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 18.

They’re Married
^BO, Finland, May 18.—(AP)
—Paavo Nurmi, Finland’s
great distance runner, married
Miss Sylvi Laaksonen, today at
a private ceremony attended
only by relatives and closr
friends. The wedding' climaxed
a friendship of many years.
Miss Laaksonen, popular in
Abo, said she would not object
to Paavo’s continuing his run
ning career, “so long as he
doesn’t run after the girls.”
Nurmi is under suspension by
the International Athletic Fed
eration on a charge of having
accepted excessive expense
money. An effort is being made
to obtain his reinstatement that
he 'may compete for Finland in
tfie Olympic Games at Los An
geles this summer.
Baxter, Bryant,
Barron Soloists
In &The Creation’
Bryson Names Students To
Take Lead in Choir
Concert Sunday
Christine Baxter, Victor Bryant,
and George Barron will fill the cov
eted solo roles fn the presentation
of “The Creation” to be given by
the second division of the Poly
phonic choir next Sunday, it was
announced yesterday by Roy Bry
son, choir director.
The second division of the choir,
numbering 140 voices, is to close
a successful year with Hadyn’s
famous oratorio. The program will
be held in the music auditorium,
beginning at 3 o’clock, with no ad
mission charge.
Miss Baxter, soprano soloist, has
been a student of Arthur Board
fnan’s for two years, coming here
as a post-graduate from the Fres
no State Teachers’ college. Sun
day’s performance will be her first
appearance as soloist.
It will also be the first appear
ance for Victor Bryant, tenor, who
has studied with Arthur Boardman
for the past year; but George Bar
ron, basso, is a veteran of several
years standing. He has been three
times a soloist with the Polyphonic
choir, including the Portland con
cert of April, and has appeared in
two recitals.
Robert Gould, organist, will ac
company the choir.
“The Creation,” which rivals
Handel’s “Messiah” for oratorio
popularity, has not been performed
in Eugene since it was given by
the Eugene Oratorio society two
years ago. A capacity crowd is ex
pected to hear the program Sun
day, judging by the number of peo
ple who were turned away from
the crowded auditorium when the
Polyphonic gave its last concert,
at the end of winter term.
Candidates Oppose
Consolidation Plan
Events assumed a different out
look in the proposal of the Marion
County Tax Equalization league
to move the University to Corval
lis, with the announcement yes
terday by James Burdett, newly
elected president of the State Tax
Equalization and Conservation
league, that he was personally not
in favor of the consolidation move,
Burdett emphatically denied the
recent statement by C. C. Hulet
that he was prominently identi
fied with the movement and stated
that he could see no value in phys
ical consolidation.
“It seems to me it is an extrav
agant plan which would increase
rather than, decrease the burdens
of the taxpayer,” he said. The
matter has not come up in the
state league, according to Burdett.
Alfred E. Clark, candidate for
the United States senate, and
James W. Mott, candidate for con
gress, w’ho were in Eugene with
Burdett, were also both outspoken
in their declarations that they are
opposed to the proposed plan.
TWO GRADS RUNNING
Among the candidates seeking
political nemination at the polls
tomorrow are two Oregon gradu
ates, Walter Dillard. ’00, present
county clerk, and candidate for re
election to that office, and Frank
B. Reid, who graduated from the
University law school in 1928, and
is out for the office of district at
torney.

Last Appearance
Of Monkey Suits
The battalion ceremony held
yesterday afternoon marked the
last wearing of the R. O. T.. C.
uniforms for this year. At 8
o’clock this morning the military
department will start taking in
the uniforms and returning the
money deposited on them at the

returned any day from now until
the end of the term.
Sergeant Conyers, veteran army
officer, who has been stationed
here for many years, stated that
the battalion ceremonies show a
great improvement each year.
“Years ago,’’ he said, “it was
no uncommon sight to see a stu
dent break ranks to tip his hat
to a girl friend. This improve
ment is largely due to the great
improvement in the senior officers
in command.”
The military department has an
nounced the promotions of senior
officers. Captain Clifford S. Beck
ett is to be a colonel.
Captains James O. Hughes and
Joseph W. Johnston are to be lieu

Eight Students Will Display
Pianistic Talents in
Concert
Eight piano students of Jane
Thacher are to appear in a two
piano recital at the music audito
rium this evening, it is announced
from the music school. A recital
program consisting almost entirely
of two-piano numbers is unusual
enough, but the program tonight
includes two compositions that are
outstanding even in the two-piano
field.
Mrs. Maude Stehn and Margaret
Atwood are to open their group of
selections with Ravel's "Mother
Goose” suite. These are a series of
short compositions, originally writ
ten as piano duets to amuse some
young friends of the French com
poser. They have become univer
sally popular and have been played
by many of the world’s leading
symphonies.
Included in the suite is one mu
sical episode descriptive of the old
fairy tale of "Beauty and the
r
Beast.” Mrs. Thacher will read a
short explanation before each of
the episodes. Mrs. Stehn and Miss
Atwood will also play a two-piano
arrangement of the Strauss waltz,
"Beautiful Blue Danube."
Amy Sten and Mary Galey will
play two of Chopin's “Etudes," one
superimposed on the other. They
are the two etudes in G-flat, both
of which were on the recital pro
gram played by Mrs. Thacher a
few weeks ago. Seeboech's "Min
uet aTAntico" will be the other
number in the Sten-Galey group.
M'iss Helene Ferris and Miss
Helen Ferris will open the program
with Beethoven's concerto in C
minor. Norma Lyon and Lois
Johnson will play three numbers,
including the scherzo from Men
delssohn's “Midsummer Night’s
Dream,” and Debussy’s “Golliwog's
Cake-Walk."
Robert Gould, organist, will as
sist Lois Johnson in the first move
ment of a Mendelssohn concerto in
C-minor, for piano and organ.
The program will begin at 8
o'clock. There will be no admis
sion charge.

Highway Board Awards
Wallula Road Contract
PORTLAND, Ore., May 18.—
(AP)—Construction of the Wal
lula cut-off, an important link in
the transcontinental highway sys
tem, was assured today with the
award of contracts for the work
by the Oregon state highway com
mission.
Construction of the cut-off has
been under discussion for years
and has long been wanted by the
federal bureau of roads because it
ties in with transcontinental traf
fic.
The cut-off, the commission
said, will shorten the distance be
tween Portland and Walla Walla
60 miles and between Portland and
Spokane 40 miles. Federal aid
money will be used on the project.
Charley Bets On
Borah Against
The Holy Father
Papal or Progressive?
Prayer, penance and mortifi
cation are needed to save the
world, declared the pope yes
erday. OK, sez I, but I’d rather
have thought, cooperation and
action. Less spiritual, but more
practical.
The holy father called for
ught days absention from enter
tainment; the proceeds to go to
the poor. Borah asked for half
a billion to feed the hungry.
And backed up his request with
a third party threat. Score one
for Borah.
The pope blamed the mess on
nationalism, unequal distribu
tion of wealth, revolt against
Sod and communism. Which are
is fine a bunch of reason as any
I've heard.
But wasn’t Christ a commun

Subtle Maneuvers Lead
To Confession
Long Island Bootlegger'
Also Aided Unmasking,
Authorities State
HOPEWELL, N. J., May 18.—
(API-Colonel Charle3 A. Lind
bergh took the lead in a subtle
series of maneuvers to obtain the
hoax confession from John Hughes
Curtis.
The complete story as revealed
today showed that Colonel Lind
bergh first set the trap for Cur
tis Thursday night when he was
informed by radio his baby had
been found dead. He casually re
quested the Norfolk '‘intermediary"
to accompany him back here where
the police finished the job.
Another queer angle entered the
case when it was learned from
Mineola, N. Y., that Inspector
Harold R. King of the Nassau
county police escorted a Long Is
land bootlegger to Hopewell Tues
day morning to aid in the unmask
ing of Curtis. He said this un
named man confronted Curtis with
a charge of “double crossing” in
another matter, but Colonel H.
Norman Schwarzkopf denied this
move was necessary.

a substantial sum of money from
him last December with an under

In Parliament
Final petitions from organiza
tions wishing^epresentation in the
student parliament will be heard
by the rules and credentials com
mittee in an open meeting in 104
Journalism building at 5 o’clock
rhis afternoon, it was announced
yesterday by Wallace Campbell,
chairman.
The problem of faculty repre
sentatives in the parliament will
be considered and it is expected
that a decision will be reached
both as to number of representa
tives and who they will be. Some
talk of having two faculty mem
bers in the parliament has been
heard.
Representation for the law
school student body and for grad
uates will also be considered. It
is hoped that these groups will be
heard at the meeting. Further pe
titions from honoraries will pos
sibly be heard.
Sigma Delta Chi
Again To Sponsor
"The Front Page”
Sigma Delta Chi will again
sponsor tonight its showing of
“The Front Page,” fast-moving
newspaper picture which packed
the house last night at the Colo
nial theatre.
The feature of last night’s per
formance was the hit made by the
feature numbers presented by the
journalistic fraternity. The Max
trio, three lasses who fairly exude
rhythm, scored a real hit. This
act was followed by Theta Chi
boys, a pair of specialty artists,
who almost stopped the show.
Four encores were demanded, and
it was several minutes before the
audience was quiet enough to per
mit Rush Hughes, master of cere
monies, to go on with the show.
The performance will be re
tained intact tonight, with mem
bers of Sigma Delta Chi handling
the ticket sale.
The feature picture, presenting
Adolphe Menjou as the suave edi
tor of a hard-boiled newspaper,
Pat O'Brien, Mary Brian, Edward
Everett Horton and Slim Summer
ville, was likewise well received.

Politicians’ Plans

OLANS of political bosses and
aspirants for class offices
went astray yesterday when it
was announced from the office
of Mrs. Hazel 1*. Schwering,
dean of women, that mid-week
political dances are taboo.
It seems that the University
has a ruling that the social cal
endar is open to dances on
week-ends only. This does not

Music also is not barred. But
the music may not he used for
dancing.
Advisers To Help
Students Fill Out
Possible Courses
Tentative Schedules Aimed
To Settle Doubts
About Changes
To clarify any misunderstanding
on the part of students in regard
to courses next year, advisers have
been delegated by the University
administration to confer with all
freshmen, sophomores, and juniors
for the next ten days.
Since the recent shake-up in the
curriculum of Oregon State col
lege and the University of Oregon,
many erroneous reports have been
circulating concerning the courses
to be offered next year. Fewer
changes will take place than these
reports imply, asserts Karl W. On
thank, dean of personnel adminis
tration.
Since the students were not cer
tain what courses could be obtained
here next year, faculty advisers at
a meeting last Thursday decided
to devote two weeks before the end
of school to clearing up all doubts.
Blanks have been sent out to all
advisers, on which the students'
study program for next year will be
made out tentatively. These blanks
may be retained by the students
and will save them time register
ing in the fall, when it will be nec
essary only to obtain the adviser’s
signature if the courses remain un
changed.
Special office hours will be kept
by all advisers until May 27. Ap
pointments may be made with de
partment secretaries or with the
advisers themselves.
‘Music of Today’ Is
Lecture Subject
Abbie Greene will offer some hot
jazz numbers as a feature of ‘he
lecture on “Jazz, the Music of To
day,” given by S. Stephenson
Smith in Villard assembly at 11
this morning.
Concert jazz, played by Joseph
ine Rice, will include such numbers
I as: Zez Confrey’s "Kitten on the
Keys;” excerpts from John Alden
Carpenter’s “Krazy Kat;" George
Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,”
and "An American in Paris;” Ho
mer Grunn’s “Humoresque Ne
gre.”
The relation of jazz music to
modernistic art and literature will
be discussed by Mr. Smith in his
lecture and together with the feat
ures of jazz music and blues sing
ing by Sally Addleman, promises
to be of genuine interest.
As each person enters he will
pay a dime, which will be used to
help finance the Oregon tennis
squad’s trip to Seattle this week
end to meet the University of
Washington team.
Houses Are Urged
To Fight Measure
A plea for activity by the Inter
fraternity council and its member
organizations to forestall the initi
ative measure for consolidation of
the University of Oregon and Ore
gon State college, was made at
the meeting of the council yester
day by Alexander G. Brown, alum
ni secretary.
The expense of providing addi
tional classrooms and housing fa
cilities at Corvallis was cited by
Brown as one of the arguments
against the action. He also pointed
spirit of the University student
body in event the consolidation
was carried through.
Plans for the Interfraternity
council dance to be held Wednes
day night at the Beta Theta Pi
house were Cvveloped. Preston
Gunther, secretary, was named
chairman of the committee in
charge. Other members are A1

Senate Votes Out
Beer for Revenue
WASHINGTON, May 18.—(AP>
—The billion-dollar tax bill was
firmly closed today by the senate
against beer for revenue, but to
night its four tariff items pre
sented a new obstacle.
In overwhelming and decisive
votes, the first beer tests since
national prohibition, the senate re
fused to legalize either 2.75 or 4
per cent beer as a means of
financing a $1,500,000,000 public
construction bond issue.
Reaching the tariff provisions—■
oil, coal, copper and lumber—the
members debated for hours as
leaders took careful polls. Reten
tion of all four items was pre
dicted at adjournment tonight
with a vote due tomorrow.
