OREGON PRESS CONFERENCE
Register Has
Names of 81
Journalists
33 Daily, Weekly Papers
Represented
Many Visitors Have Two Reasons
For Attending Oregon Press
Conference Here
Eighty-one editors, publishers,
and advertising men from Enter
prise to Seaside, and from Klam
ath Falls to The Dalles, signed
their names on the official regis
ter yesterday as the 1934 conclave
of the Oregon State Editorial as
sociation began its business ses
sions at the Journalism building.
Thirty-five daily and weekly news
papers of the state were repre
sented.
Many among the visitors had a
two-fold purpose in attending the
convention; one as representatives
of their newspapers, and the other
as graduates returning for a
glance at familiar faces. Among
those who spent their undergrad
uate days on the University cam
pus were Earle Richardson, editor
and publisher of the Dallas Itemi
zer-Observer; Vincent Mutton’
printer, Jennings Lodge; Jack Bel
linger, representing the Journal of
Flagstaff, Arizona; L. P. Arant,
manager and co-publisher of the
Baker Democrat-Herald; Earle E.
Voorhies, manager and editor of
the Grants Pass Courier; Harris
Ellsworth, editor of the Roseburg
News-Review; Jack Bauer, Mt.
Angel News; Ralph R. Cronise,
co-publisher of the Albany Demo
crat-Herald; Leith F. Abbott,
Southern Pacific advertising de
partment, Portland; Richard C.
Horn, Eugene News business man
ager; John W. Anderson, managing
editor of the Eugene News; and
Max Schafer, editor and publish
er of the Seaside Signal.
Others, whose interest was not
confined to the business of the con
ference, visited with sons and
daughters who are on the campus.
Merle R. Chessman, editor of the
Astorian-Budget and president of
the press conference, is the father
of Peggy Chessman, Emerald lit
erary editor. Mrs. E. R. Gilstrap,
one of the many women present, is
the mother of Phil and Ernestine
Gilstrap. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Aid
rich, representing the Pendleton
East Oregonian, visited with their
daughter, Eleanor Aldrich. A. Z.
Sherrig, representing Blake, Mof
fitt, and Towne, is the father of
Del Sherrig.
All of the important news and
press associations of the northwest
were represented as were the type
founders and printers of the state.
Several of the journalists’ wives
attended the sessions.

GIVES OBSERVATIONS
(Continued from Fage One)
cigars, one of which was being
smoked, and at the same time
eaten by Jack Bladine. Flowers,
paint, tobacco, a faint reminder of
the repeal of the 18th amendment,
wet hair, and raincoats—shake
them all together, add a dash of
pineapple juice and the rind of
two lemons, and presto, one has
the atmosphere of the meeting
room of the sixteenth annual press
conference!
The event which undoubtedly
caused more comment and occa
sion for humor among the editors
was the presentation of a sum of
money, taken up as a collection at
the Friday luncheon, to the wife
of Elbert Bede, to buy her editor
husband a new tie. Bede came
to the conference with one of those
narrow, artist ties, which when
tied look very much like an ox
ford shoestring, just about ready
to untie.
Bede came to the annual ban
quet held at the Osburn hotel last
night, not only with a tie, but
with socks and a sport handker
chief which attempted to match.
The three articles had all the col
ors of the spectrum and some that
put the spectrum to shame! It
has been decreed by the editors
that he shall wear these articles
of apparel, or rather accessories,
to each annual press conference
held at the University hereafter.
The banquet was well attended [
and thought by some to be the
best in many years. Some of our
observations and conclusions:
Bill Tugman dozed in his chair:
Betty Anne, Macduff, reporter
from the Register-Guard, looked
charming in black and silver:
Dean Schwering. in black and:
white; Mary Louee Edinger, soci
ety editor on the Emerald, in I
brown evening dress, and a white
fur jacket.
George Turnbull had a goodj
speaking voice, and received a tre
mendous ovation after his intro
duction by Dean Eric W. Allen, j
President of the University Boyer j
Press Conference Officials
Merle R. Chessman (left), publisher of the Astorian-Budget, is
president of the sixteenth annual Oregon Press conference, which
closes this morning, and George S. Turnbull, professor of journalism,
is secretary of the yearly conclave.
Kwama Draws Plans
Tentatively for Dance
Kwama, sophomore women’s
honorary, outlined a general pro
gram for the term at a luncheon
and business meeting held yester
day noon at the Anchorage.
Mrs. Hazel P. Schwering, dean
of women, invited members of
Kwama to a tea at her home Sun
day, February 4.
Tentative plans were made for
a dinner dance, to be given jointly
by Kwama and Skull and Dagger,
sophomore men’s honorary. The
dinner dance will be held at the
Eugene hotel, February 9, and
will probably be formal. Only
members of the honoraries and
their escorts may attend.
Groups Hear Mathews
Give Dialect Readings
A. J. Mathews, Latin and French
instructor at the University, read
several “Uncle Remus’’ stories in
the true negro dialect to nature
and folklore groups of Philomelete,
at a joint meeting yesterday after
noon.
In addition to reading the stor
ies, which are taken from a book
by Joel Chandler Harris, Mathews
talked about the South and about
negro life and customs. He also
read a sketch, dealing with a ne
gro funeral, which had been writ
ten by a friend of his.
Mathews, who is from Georgia
himself, lent a true southern drawl
to his readings.

ATTEND LEGION MEET

and commander of the Oregon de
partment of the American legion,
in accordance with a resolution
adopted at the recent national
American legion convention. Sim
ilar committees are at work in
eastern states, and have received
much favorable comment from
eastern newspapers.
Three members of the law and
order committee have been grad
uates of the tJniversity of Oregon:
Spencer, who received a B. A. in
1913, RLE. in 1915, and J.D. in
1925: Edward F. Bailey, ’13, now a
Eugene attorney and former state
senator; E. Palmer Hoyt, ’23, now
managing editor of the Oregonian
in Portland.
made a public appearance, a very
good speech, and a hit!
The following joke told by Don
ald Sterling, of the Portland Jour
nal, in explaining the brevity of
his speech, received the biggest
laugh. "Said Anthony to Cleo-1
patra, when he called on her in j
her tent one night: ‘Cleo, I didn’t!
sneak in here to talk!’”
The Oregon editors must be
fond of shrimp; it was served as;
the first course this year, and also;
last year. Other repetitions onj
the menu were turkey, peas, and
the inevitable parsley.
Ralph Watson, Journal political |
writer, insisted he was a census:
taker.
Several of the editors who'
spoke had marked tremuloes.
Spring flowers on the speakers’
table, especially daffodils, donated,
by the Campus Flower shop, were!
charming and added a “flowery”
atmosphere to the banquet hall.
We like these conferences more
and more each year, and think'
journalum a gieai game!

Newberg Paper Second
The Newberg Scribe was ad
judged second best of the week
ies by the three arbiters of the
competing papers—David Foulkes
of the Morning Oregonian, John
Anderson of the Eugene Morning
News, and Lucien P. Arant of the
Baker Democrat-Herald.
Third place w’ent to the Hills
boro Argus, fourth to the Redmond
Spokesman, and fifth to the Myrtle
Point Herald.
Methods Scored
“When codes go into effect the
newspapers have a selling job on
their hands,” said Floyd L, Sparks,
San Francisco, in his address to
press representatives on “Adver
tising Under the ‘New Deal.’ ”
“One of the greatest things that
could be brought about by the new
deal is the elimination of black
mail and sandbagging methods for
getting advertising allowances.”
“Blackmailing” Described
Sparks explained'this statement
by telling of many cases where re
tailers use “blackmailing” meth
ods to urge their wholesale com
panies to allow funds for advertis
ing campaigns. When they receive
the additional money, they place it
in the tills and regard it as a sales
discount.
Merle R. Chessman, Astorian
Budget, president of the confer
ence, approved Sparks’ feeling that
the elimination of “sandbag” meth
ods would be one of the greatest
improvements under the new deal.
A.B.C. Described
O. C. Harn, Chicago, managing
director of the Audit Bureau of
Circulation, assured- the small
newspapers that each member of
the A.B.C. has the same vote, one.
Harn's subject was “A.B.C. and
the Smaller Newspapers,” and he
explained that this bureau is the
only way newspapers have of talk
ing the same language to adver
tisers.
At the opening of the session
Chessman appointed the following
committees: Necrology: Ben Lit
fin, The Dalles Chronicle; George
Turnbull, secretary of the confer
ence; and F. J. Wheeler, Milton
Eagle. Resolutions: R. W. Sawyer,
Bend Bulletin; C. J. Gillette, Coos
Bay Times; Lars Bladine, McMinn
ville Telephone-Register. Nomina
tions: Earle Richardson, Dallas,
Polk County Itemizer-Observer;
Edgar McDaniel, North Bend Har
bor; Lucien Arant, Baker Demo
crat-Herald.

read a sample radio broadcast of
weekly news to open the meeting.
The broadcast was presented to
the group by Dean Eric W. Allen,
of the school of journalism, as an j
example of the weekly news sum

Korean’s Custom of Dotting
Shoes Related at Luncheon
A breezy after-dinner speech by
Dean Erie W. Allen of the jour
nalism school featured the Oregon
Press conference luncheon at the
I Anchorage yesterday.
“Go West, Young Man, Go
West” was the title of Allen's
talk, in which he described a day
spent in Korea during his recent
vacation in the Orient with John
,J. Landsbury, head of the depart
ment of music, and Harrison V.
Hoyt, dean of the school of busi
ness administration.
Amusing recollections of Ko
i rean customs and their stunning
.effect on men who had been
reared to believe that shoes should
be worn inside the house as well
.as outside, was the text of the
speech.
Allen related the surprise with
which he had viewed the modern
facilities offered by Korea in rail
way transportation, and described
the party's reception by the na
tives.
"The three deans were a great
sensation everywhere they went."
he said. “We had a mass of cre
dentials from Secretary of State
Hull, Governor Meier, and some
very nice mentions from Chancel
lor Kerr. All of these were re
plete with huge seals and blue
and yellow ribbons. The Koreans
■probably thought the three deans
were there to change the govern
ment or something.”
A former student of Allen's was
known to be the publisher of the
principal newspaper in Korea, so
the dean decided to call on him
at his office.
“'Five editors greeted us,” re
lated Alien, “and there vve were,
exchanging bows and business
cards. When an interpreter fi
nally arrived, we found that my
ex-student was in New York City.
However, we were invited to be
the guests of honor at a banquet
that evening, and naturally ac
cepted.
“When the time came, and we
arrived at our host's home, we
were requested to deposit our
shoes at the door and escorted to
a room, wherein were placed
cushions for our convenience.
About 20 dishes were placed on a
small table beside us. As the for
mer teacher of the publisher, 1
was the guest of honor.”
Allen went on to describe the
beverages and food served, and
the manner of serving them, with
geisha girls playing during the
banquet.
The dean concluded by urging
everyone who had not yet visited
the Orient to “go west” for a most
delightful trip, and one very
worthwhile.
Robert C. Hall, superintendent
of the University Press and asso
ciate professor of journalism, in
troduced the speaker.
The Associated Press and United
Press were hosts in a luncheon
held apart from the no-host lunch
eon at which Dean Allen spoke.
Hendricks Hall Will
Give All Campus Tea
An all campus tea will be given
by the sophomore class of Hen
dricks hall on Tuesday between the
hours of 3 to 5.
Hilda Swenson will pour. Mil
dred Schwartz and Edwina An

son.
Library Receives New
Publication on Stamps
Western Stamp Collector, a nevi',
semi-weekly publication being re
ceived at the library promises, ac
cording to the Oregonian, “to be
the most successful venture of its
kind ever undertaken in any part
of the world.” It is published in

lishers of the Mill City Logue.
BEAVERS TAKE SLOW
GAME FROM OREGON
(Continued from Page One)
another long- shot, putting his
team out in front, 10 to 6.
O’Connell Turns Savage
Three minutes later Berg
swished the net on a mid-court
toss, but Hibbard matched it with
a one-hander from the foul line.
He added two more points a min
ute later on a tough cripple shot
following a fast break around
Berg to the basket. Oregon took
time out and Gemmell replaced
Berg.
Carl Lenchitsky got a nice one
hander with four minutes to play,
which ended the Beaver’s scoring
at 16. Oregon got one more point
on Willie Jones’ conversion. He
was fouled by Captain O’Connell,
who savagely jumped on him while
Willie was on a fast cut to the
hoop. With less than a minute to
play, Berg tried a desperate long
shot, but missed the rim.
Hibbard Stars in Tilt
George Hibbard, Beaver forward,
was the individual star of the
game, scoring 11 points, more than
the total of the entire Webfoot
team. He seemed to be the only
player on the floor who was willing
t(j play a little basketball and risk
a shot once in a while.
The game was unusually clean.
Only eight personal fouls were
called and six of these were on
Oregon. So much time was taken
up with passing the ball and wait
ing for a chance to break or shoot,
that there was little cause for ex
cessive fouling. As a result, the
game was run off in short order,
few times out being taken for foul
shooting.

During Session
Financial Condition of Association
Reported as (iood; Four
New Members Added
The principal considerations be
fore the business meeting of the
Oregon State Editorial associa
tion. which was held in the Jour
nalism building yesterday after
noon, were the newspaper and
publishing code proposals in con
nection with the N. R. A.
The meeting was called to order
at 2 p. m. by Harris Ellsworth of
the Roseburg News-Review, pres
ident of the association. He called
upon Hugh G. Ball, vice-presidtnt,
to report on the Thursday meet
ing of the executive committee.
Report Slade
Ball reported that the Oregon
state game commission proposes
to carry on an advertising cam
paign in Oregon papers. Plans
call for about $25,000 to be spent
on advertising matter the first
year. The committee, Ball re
ported, was favorable to the pro
posal, as was the game commis
sion.
The financial condition of the
editorial association, Ball said,
was reported as good, with a num
ber of newly affiliated members.
The executive committee, Bail
continued, had decided to end the
verbal contract with the Eugene
Engraving company, in order to
change it into a formal contract.
Broadcast Discussed
Dean Eric W. Allen of the
school of journalism had outlined
the details of the coming broad
cast over radio station KOAC al
Corvallis.
Following Ball’s report was that
of the treasurer, who made an
earnest plea for payment of de
linquent dues.
The field manager, Arne G.
Rae, spoke next. He reported that
the publishers’ code was at pres
ent on President Roosevelt's desk
or that of Administrator Hugh
Johnson. He said that word was
expected momentarily that the
code had been approved. He”hiso
reported four new members.
Dentists Seek Aid
A representative of the Parker
dentists asked the support of the
association in the blocking of the
bill in the Oregon legislature
which would forbid dentists in
cluding price levels in newspaper
advertisements. The group fa
vored such support.
Rae then read an 11-page paper
on the code of fair competition
for the graphic arts industry as it
stood on December 18.
Following this talk, E. F. Bitler
read the code of the Pacific
Northwest Newspaper associa
tion’s code. In the main the two
codes were alike. Pay scales for
mechanical workers in newspaper
plants were found to be much
higher at the present time than
either code stipulated.
Code Effects Discussed
W. F. G. Thacher, professor of
advertising in the University,
•spoke on the effect of codes on
advertising.
Thacher read excerpts from a
pamphlet which explained the
workings of the NRA in reference
to many codes. He mentioned the
punishments for code violations.
He explained that the code does
not apply in a shop where less
than five are employed, or in a
town of under 2500 population.
Policy Decried
“Loss leaders,” namely, ads
taken at prices lower than the
usual level in order to attract
other advertisers, were declared
unethical. Inaccuracy in adver
tising was scored.
After Thacher's talk, President
Ellsworth noted that many news
papers were not represented. The
scheduled roll-call to determine
how many publishers took liquor
ads was postponed until the gen
eral session, set for this morning.
Allen to Speak
Dean Allen of the school of jour
nalism, will speak at a meeting of
Pan Xenia on the third floor of
Gerlinger hall Wednesday night.

Sigma Della Chi Presents
Award to Weeklies
Dean Allen, Chancellor Kerr Give
Welcome of University;
Historical Talk Given
More than 200 gathered in the
| Osburn hotel last night to attend
a ceremony commemorating the
! diamond jubilee year in the history
i of Oregon journalism. George S.
! Turnbull, instructor in the depart
ment of journalism, gave an intro
; duction on the history of Oregon
I newspapers • since 1859 when the
state was inaugurated into the
Union, and introduced the repre
sentatives of three papers which
date back to the -earliest days of
Oregon jciv i.
"Oregon has the distinction of
having the first newspaper to be
printed on the Pacific coast,"
Turnbull said. This paper, a small
four page affair, was the Oregon
Spectator, published in 1846. Ten
years later Oregon had two dailies
in Portland, eleven weeklies and
one so-called religious weekly; the
state of Washington had no dailies
and four weeklies; and there were
but 3,342 publications in the Unit
ed States. All newspapers were
classified as political, religious, or
literary publications.
Early History Traced
Ralph Cronise of the Albany
Democrat-Herald traced the early
history of the Democrat, first pub
lished in 1859, R. J. Hendricks of
the Salem Statesman discussed the
beginnings of the Statesman, and
Paul Kelty, editor of the Oregon
ian described an early issue of that
paper.
The Washington County News
Times edited by Hugh McGilvra,
was adjudged the best w'eekly in
the state of Oregon for the year
of 1933 and awarded the Sigma
Delta Chi cup by Donald Caswell,
president of the journalism honor
ary. The cup was surrendered to
Caswell prior to the presentation
by H. G. Ball, editor of the Hood
River News, which was awarded
the cup for the year of 1932. Ball
received a certificate of merit in
exchange for the cup.
•fudges Named
This year’s judges were David
Foulkes of Lhe Morning Oregon
ian, John Anderson of the Eugene
Morning News, and Lucien P.
Arant of the Baker Democrat Her
ald. The decision was based equal
ly on the excellence of the front
page, the editorial page, the me
chanical makeup, and the adver
tising.
Second place was awarded to the
Newberg Scribe, edited by Don
Woodman; third place to the Hills
boro Argus, edited by Verne Mc
Kinney; fourth place to the Red
mond Spokesman, edited by Joe C.
Brown; and fifth place to the Myr
tle Point Herald, edited by R. L..
Tucker.
Visitors Welcomed
Speeches of w'elcome to the press
delegates were given by Dean
Eric W. Allen, of the school of
journalism, who acted as toastmas
ter; Chancellor Kerr, who wel
comed the editors and publishers
on behalf of the University and as
sured them that the institutions of
higher learning would never for
get that their goal is of the great
est possible value to the common
wealth; Carol Wells, senior in jour
nalism, who extended the students'
welcome to the assembled dele
gates; and the newly appointed
acting-president of the University,
Dean Boyer. President Boyer
asked that the editors extend a
hand of fellowship, and pointed out
that in making this speech he was
affording them an opportunity to
give him a “once over” in order
that they might discover “what
liberties they may take with me
in the future.”
