LONDON, Nov. 2. — (AP) — A
sweeping labor triumph in yester
day’s nationwide municipal elec
tions today showed Britain the par
ty had shaken off what its lead
ers called the “sock on the nose”
suffered in 1931.
Since its defeat in the 1931 elec
tions labor has been plugging away
repairing its damaged fences. Lead
ers, openly exultant, tonight termed
"amazing” the victories registered
in the London area.
POLITICS SMOULDER IN SPAIN
(Copyright, 1934, by the Asso
ciated Press.)
GIBRALTAR, Nov. 3.—(Satur
day)—It was learned on the high

day that President Niceto Alcala
Zamora may resign almost imme
diately, and that the Spanish re
public may undergo a far-reaching
political change within a few days.
PRESIDENT BACKS LEHMAN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—(AP)
—An appeal for the re-election of
Governor Lehman, of New York,
was made today by President
Roosevelt, but, smilingly, he de
clined to pledge himself straight
down the line on the Democratic
ticket.
Declaring, somewhat to the sur
prise of a packed press conference,
that it would be amazing to know
how often he had voted for indi
vidual Republicans, the chief exec
utive plainly made a bid for disre
gard of party lines in choosing
candidates.
AMERICANS THOUGHT SPIES
MUNICH, Germany, Nov. 2.—
Two Americans said today they
had reported to the United States
consul their subjection to a search
by secret police who suspected
them of espionage.
Helen Lyster of New Rochelle,
N. Y„ and G. Griffith Johnson, Jr.,
of Washington, D. C., said they
were arrested, search, stripped, and
imprisoned Oct. 25, but that they
were “treated with reasonable
courtesy.”
DEATH RIDES STORM’S WAKE

NRA RULE PROLONGED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—(AP)
—NRA’S rule over the big automo
bile industry today was prolonged
another three months by President
Roosevelt.
In announcing extension of the
automobile code without any of
the changes which have been de
manded by labor, the president
disclosed plans for a study into
employment stabilization within
the industry. He expressed confi
dence of the cooperation of both
management and labor.
INSULL’S TEMPER FLARES
CHICAGO, Nov. 2. — (AP) —
Sometimes flaring into anger and
shouting his answers, frequently
turning to the jury for long ex
planations, Samuel Insull battled
stubbornly under cross examination
in his mail fraud trial today for
his exoneration.
Insull admitted little, called some
of the questions “unfair” and once
scolded his questioner.
Boyer Strikes
at 20-Mill Tax
Limitation Bill
University Would Close,
Says President
Morse Is Speaker
Gilbert Joins in Attack on
Measure; Renner Asks
Student Support
President C. V. Boyer took a
stand of active opposition to the
proposed 20-mill tax limitation
amendment yesterday when he in
formed a throng of students, fac
ulty, and townspeople that in event
of the passage of the bill at Tues
day’s general election “without
special legislation the University
would close indefinitely—probably
next June—or at best could con
tinue for only a part of next year.”
Boyer's talk climaxed a series of
faculty denunciations of the 20
mill and healing arts amendments
delivered before yesterday’s mass
meeting in Gerlinger hall.
Dr. Boyer intimated that the
University has not officially joined
the fight before now because the
charge might be made that its fac
ulty members were “selfish,” as
the institution is tax supported.
The wave of opposition to the mea
sure, however, has convinced the
officials that thinking people are
beginning to understand the intent
of the amendment, which, he de
clared, is to further the selfish in
terests of those sponsoring it,
rather than benefitting the public.
Gilbert Speaks
Evils of the bill were also point
ed out by James H. Gilbert,) dean
of social sciences, who condemned
it as a “destructive measure which
has not one constructive idea from
the first word to the last.” Dean
Wayne L. Morse of the school of
law attacked the proposed healing
arts amendment with the warning
that “We must observe its discrep
ancies, and be aware of the racket
eering which might result from its
passage.”
Dean Gilbert asserted that he
had always been an advocate of
lower taxation, but that he stood
opposed to a reduction so sweeping
in its scope that such state insti
tutions as the school, police pro
tection, and public health, would
be left in the discard. “The bill
tries to standardize and advise
where it is utterly impossible to
standardize,” claimed Dr. Gilbert,
“and misrepresentation of the evil
effects which will be wrought by
the bill is one of the worst parts
of the campaign.”
In showing the effects which the
bill will have on the school system
of Oregon, Dean Gilbert explained
that the bill allows for but two
mills to be allotted to schools. At
the present time, the elementary
schools alone are exceeding two
mills in their expenditures, to say
nothing of money needed by the
high schools and the University of
Oregon.
At the present time, it would be
possible for the University to se
cure money from other sources
through the legislature, but should
the 20-mill tax limitation bill be
passed, there would be no money
with which to pay a governor, a
legislature, or any organ of the
state government. Dean Gilbert
pointed out that any legislature
would quickly decide that a state
system of government was far
more important than a University,

Kehrli Finds Midwest Cities
Hard Hit by Tax Limitation
4413EPORTS show tax limitation
measures which have been
passed in other states aren’t work
ing out so good,” said Herman
Kehrli, director of the bureau of
municipal 'research and service and
executive secretary of the leagues
of Oregon cities, on his return
Wednesday from Chicago. In the
midwest metropolis he represented
Oregon municipalities at the an
nual convention of the national
federation of leagues of municipal
ities.
"West Virginia and Michigan,"
he went on to say, “have passed
the most drastic tax limitations.
N’ext year 78 out of 110 cities will
not be allowed to levy taxes for
operating expenses. In many of
these 78 cities, all civic functions,
including the fire and police de
partments have been discontinued,
the city as an organized body prac
tically closing down.”
Movements to give cities a share
as high as 25 per cent of the state
gasoline tax have been launched
in many of these destitute cities,
he continued.
To meet the emergency munici
palities of Wisconsin and Michi
gan have banded together for co
operative purchasing. In Michi
gan the smaller cities have seved
about $50,000 on fire hose alone
through cooperative purchasing.
Planning, Kehrli said, is expand
ing and including not only cities
but also rural districts. The scope
of the planning is also being en
larged to include adult eeducation
and things of social significance
besides the purely physical aspect.
On his way east Kehrli attended
the national conference on city
planning held held at St. Louis.
Marshall N. Dana represented the
four northwestern states at this
conference. Reports indicated, said
Mr. Kehrli, that the federal pro
gram for regional planning was
getting enthusiastic support from
all regions.

Continues Today
During Big Game
Doughnuts! doughnuts, and more
doughnuts! Dads and grads will
be given a chance to taste these
luscious bits of powdered dough,
that have been popular on the cam
pus the past few days, for they'll
be sold by the basketful at today’s
game.
The truth and nothing but the
truth of the whole matter is,
they're good, must be, ’cause more
doughnuts have been sold during
this year’s annual Y. W. C. A.
doughnut sale than ever before.
“Just a bit to stave the appe
tite, until the final score,” is the
advice of Korn, maker of the May
flower doughnuts.
Studious students seemed to
crave refreshments as they cm c
crave refreshments as they
emerged from the old libe Tues
day, for to Jane Chapler and Jus
tine Miller goes the pass for sell
ing the highest number of “sink
ers.”
Girls who are selling at today’s
game should meet at the east end
of the stadium shortly before the
game to get their A.W.S. licenses.

men’s debate teams will prepare
the question, “What Form of Pub
lic Regulation of the Movies Should
Be Adopted?" for discussion.
Welcome
(An Kditorial)
DURING this week-end the ties of affection and interest that
hind together Oregon and her host of friends throughout the
state are strengthened and made more firm. The campus is thronged
with those who attended here in former years, the grads; and in
addition we are host to the fathers of present Oregon students. Both
groups are equally interested in the welfare of the school. The grads,
because of the memories and loyalties begotten by their years spent
on the campus; the dads, because they have a very real concern
j over the future of the institution in which their sons and daughters
! are acquiring education.
This week-end means much to Oregon. Our guests are close to
us through mutual interest and family affection. We have prepared
to give them a welcome that will linger long in their memories for
its expression of respect and faith. We have planned rallies, dances,
and a football game for their pleasure, and we hope they will leave
feeling that we have an interest in them as sincere and heartfelt as
that they have expressed in us.
Our football team, appearing Saturday against Montana, is de
termined to give our guests an example of real Oregon fight and
1 drive, which will show that Oregon is definitely headed for the top
of the Pacific coast conference again this season.
Students, the real friends of the University of Oregon are on
I the campus now. We are given an opportunity to show our grati
tude and loyalty. Let our visitors konw in no uncertain manner that
there is a world of warmth and sincereity behind the words “Wel
: come, Dads and Grads"!

Conference Tilt
Contest Starts at 2
Web foot Eleven in Cocky
Mood; Montana
Line Light
Dads and Grads will get a first
hand view of Prink Callison’s 1934
football team at 2:00 on Hayward
field today when the Oregon eleven
lines up for the kick-off against
the Montana Grizzlies. A slushy
field bids fair to complicate mat
ters with thrills, spills and per
haps an unexpected turn in the
game.
On paper the, Lemon-Yellow has
an overwhelming advantage over
Montana. Last week Montana
was beaten 13 to 6 by Idaho
while Oregon has scored a 13 to
6 victory over the Potato Staters.
Further evidence of an Oregon vic
tory is seen in the fact that Web
foot linemen outweigh their Mis
soula opponents 10 pounds per
man. Babich, veteran Grizzly tac
kle weighing 191 pounds, is the
heaviest man in the northern
state’s forward wall. The remain
ing Montana linemen average 180
pounds. I
Rack field Named
“Thunder and Lightning’’ —
Frank Michek, fullback, and Maury
Van Vliet, left half, - will give the
fans plenty of fireworks today.
Hayward reports both back field
aces in splendid shape. Two re
serves, Hay Lopez and Johnny
Reischman, will complete today’s
backfield quartet. However Ralph
Terjeson may replace Lopez at the
blocking right post.
Veteran tackles, Alex Eagle and
Gardner Frye will bolster the Web
foot line, which will also be com
posed mainly of reserves with
some experience. Ned Simpson
and Stan Riordan are scheduled to
start at the end position. Both
men have proven aggressive of
fense players as well as accurate
pass receivers in past games. Ross
Carter and Andy Hurney, guards,
plus the veteran Con Fury at cen
ter will form a puncture proof
center to the Webfoot forward
wall.
Story Is Star
Montana pins its hopes on Hile
man and Vesel, halfbacks. And as
for the Grizzly fullback, well,
that’s another Story—Bud Story,
the plunging line smasher with
whom Montana coach Bunny
Oakes hopes to pierce the Oregon
line, Sayatovich, three year let
terman center, is another Montana
player today’s fans are urged to
watch.
With the Duck eleven in a cocky
mood the visitors hope to spring
a surprise and upset them to ring
up their second conference victory
since they have been members of
the group.

Howling, Dripping Students
Parade, Shout for Visitors
By AL GOLDBERG
JUPITER Pluvius waged a losing
battle with University of Ore
gon gridiron enthusiasts last night
as eager students, aided and abet
ted by a wealth of noise-making
devices, paraded through the
streets of Eugene in the annual
Homecoming pre-game rally.
While the rain poured down in
torrents, ardor-imbued students
marched in procession from Mill
street, down Eleventh to Willam
ette, and thence to Broadway,
where the rally proper was staged.
With seven co-eds, standing on
a table and clad in yellow and
green, depicting the victorious
Webfoot grid warriors, Kappa
Kappa Gamma and Sigma hall
garnered the first prizes annually
given to the winning organizations
in the float contest held in con
junction with the Homecoming ral
ly. Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi
Sigma Kappa carried off runner
up honors, while Alpha Phi and
Theta Chi annexed the remaining
awards.
The awards, to be presented at
the Homecoming dance tonight, in
clude the Mrs. Walter Cook trophy,
which goes to Kappa Kappa Gam
ma for a period of one year, and
the Bristow trophy, won by Sigma
hall.
Other prizes, to second and third
place winners, were given by the
White Electric comapany, McMor
ran and Washburne, Kennel-Ellls,
and the University Pharmacy.
Music at the rally was furnished
by the Oregon band, which led the
parade. Joe Renner, student body
president, spoke, and yells were
led. Renner praised the many stu
dents present for their loyalty in
taking part in the rally despite un
favorable weather conditions.
At the finish of the rally the
traditional flaming ‘O’ was lighted
on Skinner's butte. Composing the
spectacle, which was illuminated
by freshman torches, was a green
'U' on the yellow ‘O,’ in the center
of which was a yellow ‘of.’
A rally dance held in McArthur
court, with Sherwoods Burr’s or
chestra furnishing the music cli
maxed the evening. Several novel
