BLUE EAGLE TO TIGHTEN
CLAWS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—(AP)
—President Roosevelt’s personal
intervention in the labor-industry
conflict over NRA's automobile
code today brought authoritative
indications of an extension of the
blue eagle’s sway over that indus
try.
Optimism in the capital over an
ultimate solution of the problem
had as a bombshell companion a
statement from Henry Ford—out
standing NRA holdout—that his
company’s 1935 production sched
ule called for a mililon or more
units, the greatest in four years.
DILLINGER PLOT CONFESSED
INDIANOPOLIS, Nov. 1—(AP)
—Governor Paul V. McNutt to
night announced the state has ob
tained a confession from an "un
identified man" involving at least
two others in John Dillinger’s es
cape from the Crown Point, Ind.,
jail last March 3.
He said the state's evidence will
be turned over to federal authori
ties at Chicago tomorrow.
DEFICIT PASSES BILLION
WASHINGTON, Nov. l-(AP)
-—The big- job of budgeting next
year’s governmental expenditures
set President Roosevelt and his
aides to work today as huge emer
gency outlays carried the deficit
for the current year into the billion
dollar clas.
Harry L. Hopkins, in charge of
the most uncertain item of all gov
ernmental disbursements—relief—
lunched with the Chief Executive.
The latter then went into confer
ence with Secretary Morgenthau
and Daniel W. Bell, acting director
of the budget.
FORD OPPOSES DOLE
NEW YORK, Nov. 1—(API —
Employment, and not relief doles,
is urged by Henry Ford in an in
terview published today in Collier’s
weekly.
"People don’t thank anyone for
a dole,” says the automobile manu
facturer. “That is somthing the
politicians don't seems to know.
They think they are making votes
through the dole.”
TIRE PRICES BOOM!
AKRON, O., Nov. 1—(API —
Prices of automobile tires took
biggest price increase in years to
day as major producers apparently
abandoned this industry’s old-time
practice of "savage” competition.
The average increase will be
about 18 per cent, although on a
few lines of unusual sizes the ad
vance cost to the consumer will
range as high as 75 per cent, tire
men said.
PRESIDENT SETS INTEREST

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1— (AP)

Nazi ‘Terror’
Hides Arming,
Says Churchill
War Clouds Gathering
Charges Britisher
Governments Fret
Outlook for Peace Fades
As Saar Plebiscite
Date Nears
_
By the Associated Press
"A reign of terror in Germany"
to keep the world ignorant of her
"feverish" rearmament was the ac
cusation Winston Churchill, Great
Britain’s former chancelor of the
exchequer, leveled at the Nazi gov
ernment Thursday as Europe's
governments worried over the out
look for peace.
London — Churchill, addressing
members of his constituency, as
serted Germany was rearming
"secretly, illegally, and rapidly”
and assailed the national govern
ment for failing, he said, to speed
up its program for air defense.
French Fear War
Paris—The fear of war over
shadowed visits of the French peo
ple to graves in connection with
All-Saints day, as the government
stressed the necessity for national
defense and made ready to throw
troops into the Saar if the league's
governing commission so re
quested.
Battle sounds of twenty years
ago were recalled as fear of anoth
er conflict with Germany was
aroused by official and private
warnings.
The strength of Chancellor Hit
ler’s army, said one newspaper,
will be greater next spring than
the one with which Germany en
tered the World war.
Petain Sounds Warning
Preparations for defense in
creased the nation's dread of an
air invasion, with its possible cam
paign of bombs, gas and microbes.
The warning of Marshal Henri
Petain, minister of war, that “Ger
many is ready,” made to the fin
ance committee of the chamber of
deputies at a secret session Mon
day, was followed by the newspa

UCLA Provost
Warns Against
‘Red’ Activities
Universities, Fraternities
Called to Aetion
Radicals Attacked
Dr. Moore Decries Actions
Of Student Leaders
Following Riot
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1 - (AD
A warning against revolutionary
student leaders and a call to all
universities and fraternities
throughout the nation to become
"active helpers of the United
States in its day of difficulty,” was
issued today by Dr. Ernest Moore,
provost and vice-president of the
University of California at Los
Angeles.
While this new development
came from the college head who
earlier in the week suspended five
student leaders for promoting rad
ical activities, student vigilantes
patrolled the campus at Westwood,
where a student meeting two days
ago resulted in a riot call being
broadcast by police.
Vigilantes Work
The vigilante patrol resulted
from a meeting last night cf stu
dents in the hills near the univer
sity, in which the students vowed
"to purge the campus of radical
ism with force if necessary.” The
patrol was selected from among
the university athletes.
Dr. Moore’s formal statement
urged universities and fraternities
that it is best not to be "indiffer
ent about our country.”
“Wolf, Wolf”
“There is a psychology and
strategy of talking about a revol
ution,” he said. "This,” he said,
"was first to put the people to
sleep by false cries of “wolf, wolf,"
so that when the wolf atacks no
one will pay attention.
"The revolutionary student lead
ers are instructed to do two
things,” he said. "1. To organize
all revolutionaries, and 2. to make
the great mass of students neut
ral.”
He said that the students at
U.C.L.A. will not be ne -tral here
after.
Campus Citizenship
(An Editorial)
If the 20-mill tax limitation amendment passes, it will be be
cause people have not l>een informed of the true destructive import
of the measure. Such is the belief of the Emerald as well as many
capable political observers who are truly disturbed over the lack of
understanding of what the bill actually would do to Oregon’s civic
and educational institutions.
Here at the University of Oregon, where the provisions of the
bill actually threaten the very life of the institution, this charge of
misunderstanding (or lack of understanding) should never be al
lowed to be made against the students or faculty.
To avert such a charge and in order that students nnd faculty
may become better acquainted with just what they may expect
should the bill be permitted to pass, student leaders have called a
mass meeting for today at 11 o’clock in Gerlinger hall.
Failure to attend the assembly without a thoroughly adequate
excuse would, in the opinion of the Emerald, constitute an admission
of lack of loyalty to the University and a lack of interest in the
welfare of the state of Oregon. Not only is it important to learn
why the bill is destructive and ill-conceived, but it is just as import
ant that students learn how and what they can do to assist in its
defeat at the polls next Tuesday. Just because a student is not of
voting age in no way implies that he cannot do his part in lining up
opposition to this very serious measure that strikes so ruthlessly at
practically' every form of civilized endeavor in the state of Oregon.
In Dean Gilbert, who has been asked to explain the proposed
amendment at the meeting, the University has one if its staunchest
and most fearless defenders. Not only will students find his talk to
day a most able and informed presentation of the case, but they will
find enjoyment in listening to the humorous sallies and witty re
marks that have won for him a reputation of being one of Oregon’s
most sought after public speakers. As a political scientist of na
tional importance, Dean Gilbert was one of the first to see the lurk
ing dangers and take the stand against the tax limitation bill.
Every man and woman who loves Oregon owes Dr. Gilbert a
fervent “thank you”—win or lose—for his foresight and fearlessness
in this fight to save not only education but the entire governmental
structure of the state. As the student of taxation and political sci
ence that he is, he could see no other way than to lend what help
his knowledge and abilities would allow to defeat a measure in which
he could see nothing but destruction and chaos.
It is in such men as James H. Gilbert that universities find, and
will continue to find, their justification as institutions of non-parti
san public service. And it is in such demonstrations of loyalty to
alma mater and state as we expect to see on the part of the students
tomorrow, that democracy can weather the storms of today into
the calms of tomorrow with the enlightenment of educated men and
women at the helm.
Every student who subscribes to a belief in democracy and a
confidence In his ability as a citizen of tomorrow will be on hand
this morning at 11 o’clock in Gerlinger hall.

For Event
Everything is in readiness on the
Oregon campus for the gigantic
rally, rally parade, bonfire and
rally dance which will usher in
Homecoming activities, is the final
report of the committees.
As the hour of the pre-game
rally dance approaches, the first
fan dance to be presented on this
campus at a public affair still re
mains a mystery. Doug Ward, ral
ly committee publicity chairman,
who originally announced this new
feature as a part of the program
for the dance in McArthur court
at 9 o’clock tonight, declined to
give any further information con
cerning the novel aesthetic inno
vation.
"Never before has a rally dance
offered so piany features and so
much variety of entertainment,”
states Ward.
To substantiate his assertion he
offers part of the program for
the night's entertainment. "The
principal feature, of course is the
fan dance. On the same bill and
sharing honors is the popular syn
copation of the Ed-Fred-and-Don
trio. This harmony merger has al
ready attracted attention by its
appearances at the Broadway
theater in Portland during the
Oregon-Washington rally and at
the McDonald theater where they
are entertaining every Friday.”
More melody will be heard from
a female trio; three little Alpha
Phis combine for this feature. In
addition, Fred Bradshaw will per
form a tap dance, and several
campus crooners have been pro
cured to distribute their talents.
Among them are Louisa Parry,
popular Emerald-of-the-Air singer,
Ned Gee, also on the radio broad
cast, and John Stolp.

Guarding- against any possibility
that any supporter or post-hallow

college should attempt to try to
deface the lemon “O” on Skinner’s
butte, three men from each frater

the huge letter.
To prevent the arduous watch
from becoming too monotonous,
three campus sororities sent cof

Bob Cassidy, chairman of the
lighting committee, reports that
the structure for the bonfire is
ready to fire. It is built in the
shape of an “O” near the top of
Skinner’s butte, with four fuses
to provide quick ignition. Other

Registration for Fathers
Begins 1:30 Today
Banquet Plans Set
Beers Urges All Students
To Meet Parents
At Trains
“Everything is in readiness for
the Dads’ anual day at the Univer
sity. We have completed plans
which will allow the Dads to en
joy every minute of their visit
here, and we hope that it will be
an outstanding affair in their
lives,” stated John T. Casey, gen
eral chairman of Dads’ day.
Louise Beers, registration chair
man, urges all students to meet
their dads as the trains and give
them hearty welcomes to the Uni
versity.
Registration of the Dads will be
gin at 1:30 p. m. today and will
continue until 2 p. m. Saturday.
It will be conducted by Miss Beers
and Virgil T. Earl. They will be
assisted in greeting, registering
and presenting arm-bands to the
dads by 36 girls. Freshman dad3

Arrangements for the Dads ban
quet in the John Straub Memorial
building have been completed by

banquet.
According to Miss Burns the
motif for the affair will be “the
horn of plenty" and decorations •
will be in accord with the autum
nal season. Red and yellow will be
predominate in the color scheme
of the affair. A chicken dinner,
pumpkin pie and other delicacies
will be served as the dinner.
A special part of the rooting sec
tion of the Oregon-Montana game
has been set aside for Dads where
they can sit with their sons and
daughters. This is different from

a separate section, but can sit with
their sons and daughters.
Prices for tickets to the banquet
are 75 cents, and $1.50 to the foot
ball game. Tickets can be secured

Morris of the economics depart
ment of the University.
Sunday morning at 11 every
church in Eugene will hold special
services in honor of the Dads.
Tongue Impersonates Ghost
In Fragi le Striped Night Shirt
By BARNEY CLARK
A roll of the drums, professor,
and a blast on the trumpets, for
this is an important announcement.
Thomas H. Tongue, ex-student
body prexy, men's wear model, and
social arbiter, has at last met his
Waterloo. Ever since last Valen
tine’s day a group of the lads in
the old Chi Psi castle have had it
in for Bfother Tongue, and last
night they pinned it on him. Here’s
the play:
Tongue is in his room. He is full
of forebodings. The silence is per
fect. Too perfect, as a matter of
fact; for suddenly the door bursts
open and a mob of brothers rush
in, laying rude hands upon the ex
quisitely clad body of Marse Tom.
Tom fights like a tiger, two tigers,
three tigers and a sky-rocket for
good old Princeton, but he is borne
down by brute force, and one by
one his garments are taken from
him, until at last he lies there,
naked as a peeled banana. The
brothers rummage through his
drawers until they find an old
night-shirt, hidden under an un
used pile of ballots. This is a sim
