MANILA FEARS TYPHOON
MANILA, Nov. 15, (Thursday)
— (AP)—Manila held its breath
early today as the third destruc
tive typhoon within a month
threatened the city. Warning siren
blasts were sounded in the down
town section.
Meager reports indicated the ap
proaching tempest, which already
had isolated three provinces, might
be of more severe nature than the
one which caused eighty-seven
deaths and rendered 21,000 persons
homeless in Manila and nearby
provinces October 16.
WHEAT PARLEY TO OPEN
LONDON, Nov. 14— (AP i—The
biggest international wheat con
ference since the London parley
which broke up early last May
with the defeat of the minimum
price scheme will assemble in Bud
apest November 20. It will meet
under the chairmanship of John
Van A. MacMurray, United States
minister to the Baltic states and
roving wheat diplomat.
LENDING UNITS MAY MERGE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14—(AP)
—The elimination of overlapping
efforts by the various government
al lending agencies, and possibly
the merging of some of them, was
forecast today through the ap
pointment by President Roosevelt
of a committee to study the pres
ent situation.
In more than one capital quarter
the President’s move was inter
preted as a step toward eventual
liquidation of some of the emer
gency lending units. Mr. Roosevelt
has stated the government would
withdraw from this field when pri
vate business took back the task.
Intimations have been given of at
least two federal withdrawal ef
forts.
HINT PWA EXPANSION
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14—(AP)
■—A many-billioned expansion of
the public works program, de
signed eventually to absorb all di
rect relief roles, was strongly
hinted today by Secretary Ickes.
Conceding that this expanded
program had not yet been finally
worked out, Ickes nevertheless put
into words what many 'have con
sidered a major trend in the ad
ministration’s efforts. He left a
strong implication that new bil
lions would be asked for the PWA.
TO REORGANIZE POLICE
PORTLAND, Nov. 14—(AP) —
The first day of December is liable
to be a banner day in Portland po
lice history, it was learned today
from Acting Chief Harry Niles,
who will take charge of the bureau
officially on December 1.
The new chief-to-be said that he
intended to reorganize the police
department completely, starting at
the bottom and inserting younger
men in every department, includ
ing the detective division.
Thomas Talks
At Assembly
This Afternoon
Prominent Socialist to
Speak on Fascism
Cups lo Be Given
Well-Known Speaker Will
Appear for First Time
In City
Norman Thomas, a leader of the
Socialist party and former candi
date for president of the United
States, will speak at an assembly
this afternoon at 1 o’clock in Ger
Iinger hall on “The Drift of Fas
cism.”
The speaker will be introduced
by James H. Gilbert, dean of the
college of social science. Music by
a string quartet from the music
school will open the assembly.
The Chi Omega scholarship cup
and Sigma Nu plaque which are
given annually to the sorority and
fraternity having the highest schol
arship during the year will be pre
sented.
Speaker Called Liberal
Thomas is rated by the Portland
Elison White bureau for platform
celebrities as a great speaker and
the leader of a fast-growing group
of thinkers in America. Dean Karl
W. Onthank, of the assembly com
mittee, stated that Thomas was
"an outstanding liberal, not a rad
ical.”
“He is a prominent speaker, a
keen and thoughtful man, and one
who, although he has not been
elected to an office, has greatly in
fluenced public npinicth,” Dean On
thank said, “His subject, ‘The
Drift of Fascims,’ concerns topics
of liberty about which he has
shown his knowledge in other
speeches.”
To Lunch With Faculty
Thomas will arrive in Eugene
before noon and will lunch with
faculty members. After the assem
bly address he will be with an open
forum which will meet in the alum
ni hall of Gerlinger. All students
and faculty members are invited
to attend this open discussion. The
faculty club, of which Andrew
Fish is president, will honor him
at dinner. No definite plans have
been made for the evening.
This is the first time Thomas has
spoken at the University of Ore
gon, and Eugene and Portland, are
the only cities in Oregon at which
he is appearing.
Thomas ran for president of the
United States in 1928 and 1932 and
was defeated. He also ran twice
for mayor of New York City, and
in 1924 for governor of the state
of New York.

Correlation of Drama, Dance
Is Important, Says Zemach
By GEORGE ROOT
Smiling, a little tiredly, perhaps,
but with a sparkle of sincere ap
preciation for the genuine enthu
siasm that prompted a large
group of excited people to follow
him to his dressing room last eve
ning showering compliments of ad
miration and even requests for au
tographs, Benjamin Zemach, a
dancer of sincere and extraordin
ary power whose greatest belief is
that the art of dancing is funda
mentally universal, once more
carefully removed the theatrical
grease from his face, folded up
bits of bright costumes, and gen
erously told of the one increasing
purpose behind his work: a distinct
and personal contribution to danc
ing through a correlation of drama
with the dance and a recreation,
through the Bible, of the funda
mentals of our culture.
Zemach, whose own life found
its first expression through acting
with the Moscow Habima theater,
felt the need for a deeper interpre
tation, and so he danced. “For me,
design alone is empty—acting is
not enough," and when the theater
group toured the continent, Ze
mach was dancing as much as he
was acting, with an approach pri
marily emotional for, he says,
“There is nothing creative in the
mental approach alone. Let your
feelings spring from you almost
blindly—then later look them over
to see what became of them.”
And even the watcher’s reaction
should be emotional—“It Is not good
to ask what the dance is, but how
it impresses you—let it impress
you as it will. There is always a
place for your fantasy," Zemach
says, and his dance interpretations
illustrate his own sensitive reac
tions to the physical world. “And,”
he adds, “I want to go on—not to
close up. I am working on a new
search—most important—in turn
ing the Bible and Biblical drama
for my new style, not specifically
Jewish but in the best meaning of
the word Jewish"—in order to at
tempt an achievement of his par
ticular contribution to the growing
spirit of the dance, of which Mar
tha Graham has gone a “step be
yond” Mary Wigman in his estima
I tion.
Student Directory
Booklets Will Be
Published Friday
Students who have been smoth
ering the Emerald office telephone
with their curious questions in re
gard to the whereabouts of the
briefly delayed student directories,
piggers' guides to some, will be
happy to know that the booklets
are to make their appearance on
Friday, according to the A.S.U.O.
offices. They are actually not par
ticularly late, but numerous per
sons have been over-anxious for
telephone numbers or addresses
and have demanded their instan
taneous release.
The student directory also in
cludes phone numbers and ad
dresses of all faculty members, as
well as of every student on the
campus. They may be purchased
for 25 cents at the Co-op.
President Plans
Social Security
In Broad Form
Unemployment Insurance
Large Part of
Program
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14— (API
—The broad outlines of a social
security plan, definitely incorpor
ating unemployment insurance as
a part of the next congressional
program, were sketched today by
President Roosevelt and turned
over to a group of experts for re
fining.
The immediate objectives of the
program the president has decided
upon were:
Unemployment insurance of a
cooperative federal-state form; the
funds to be held and invested by
the federal government; the bene
fits to be administered by the
states.
Enactment of state laws to car
ry out such a program.
An effort to bring the persons
now on relief rolls back into pro
ductive employment and thereby
put them under the insurance sys
tem.
From a long range standpoint,
he proposed:
A uniform system to provide se
curity for the aged.
A method, perhaps through in
surance, for providing against the
economic loss due to sickness.

Oregana Editor
Announces ’35
StaffatMeeting
Scliomp, Callus to Hold
Executive Posts
Clark Stales Policy
Strict Deadline for Copy
^ ill Be Set; Quality
To Be Sought
Barney Clark, editor-in-chief of
the 1935 (Dreg-ana, announced the
staff, which will assist him in pub
lishing this year’s edition, at a
meeting last evening, attended by
students who were interested in
finding minor positions on the
staff.
Ralph Schomp is associate editor
of the book, while George Callas
is serving as assistant editor. Sec
retary to the staff will be Willa
Bitz. Other editors are as follows:
art, Neal Gardner; photographic,
Mildred Blackburne; copy, Dorothy
Dill: index, Margaret Petsch;
sports, Bill Mclnturff; drama,
George Callas; publications, Ruth
Weber; snapshots, Fulton Travis;
fraternities, Dan E. Clark; sorori
ties, Dorothy Griffen, assistant
society editor, LeNelle Mathews;
administration, Peggy Chessman;
seniors, Eunice Elliott; activities.
Bob Lucas; medicine, Irvin Hill.
Hard Workers Needed
In speaking to the staff, as well
as those desirous of appointments,
Clark stated that he was interested
only in hard workers. "We have
no room for people who are merely
anxious to fulfill activity require
ments for their fraternities,” he as
serted. “Those who feel so inclined
might just as well withdraw at the
present time.”
The work on the content of the
1935 Oregana is to begin at once,
according to the editor. Definite
deadlines will be set for copy,
which, if not met, will result in the
loss of a position. A high standard
is to be set for the quality of the
copy submitted, also. “I worked
two months on the layout for this
year’s book,” stated Clark, “and it
is to be a book which has no dup
licate in a college annual. Conse
quently I do not intend to allow
faulty material to spoil the excel
lence of our product.”
“While all the major positions on
the paper have been filled, there
are many jobs for assistants, who
may win places on next year’s
staff as reward for good work.”
Clark added.

Martin today announced the ap
pointment of a state-wide "com
mittee of nine" men who are to
conduct an extensive and scientific
survey to put into action his prom
ised 10-year Oregon development
program.

ber 5, include O. R. Bean, city com
missioner of Portland; Guy Boy
ington, county judge, Astoria; C.
J. Buck, regional forester, Port

land; E. W. Miller, Marshfield,

Exotic Patterns,
Gaiety Feature
Zemach’s Dance
By CYNTHIA LIDJEQVIST
Three exquisite Hebrew girls
twirled and undulated in a cease
less flow of expressive movements
about the vital force of Benjamin
Zemach last night in his dance
presentation in Gerlinger hall.
A highly selective audience let
loose the reins of fantasy as the
dancers created a world of strange
ly exotic patterns and deep moods
for them. A perfect mastery of
technique and an unusual imagin
ative quality about the numbers
confirms Zemach’s place among
America’s leading interpretive
dancers.
Despite the dizziness and mag
nified gaiety of the lighter moods,
a deeply religious tone underlay
the recital presaging Zemach’s fu
ture in which he plans to devote
himself entirely to Biblical and
highly religious portrayals. The
program opened and closed with
lances indicating deep religious
truggles: the first a scene from
“Jacob's Dream” in which Satan
attempts to gain the soul of Ja
cob from the angels. Zemach
speaks in Hebrew throughout this
dance. The last number called
“Farewell to Queen Sabbath" por
trays the Chassidic sect who de
parted from the original Hebrew
style of worship to follow the
prayers of one leader whom they
follow by absorbing his emotions.
Zemach leads the three Hebrew
girls through the dance.
One could not begin to elucidate
the meaning of the more impres
sionistic dances as their meaning
was lost in a chimerical mood
known only to the senses. And as
Zemach himself says: “Why say A
is A about a dance and leave no
room for the fancy in which to
play?”

Trophy for Sale
Of Dance Tickets
Zell Brothers Give Cup for
Spirit Shown for
Game
All men's living organizations
will have a chance to add another
trophy to their collection next
Saturday at the second listen-in
dance sponsored by the Oregon
rally committee. The prize will be
known as the Zell Bros -Oregon
Rally cup, and is for the further
ance of the rally spirit among
University students.
It will be presented to the men's
group which has the highest per
centage of men present at the
dance. Allowance will be made in
computing the scores for members
of the football squad and managers
who will be in California.
The donation was made possible
through the efforts of Ralph
Rchomp, rally co-chairman. Zell
Brothers, jewelers, are the donors.
In order to annex the award as a
permanent possession, a living
group must place first in three
similar contests. Since Saturday’s
affair will be the last rally dance
of the year, the cup will remain in
the possession of the fraternity or
hall that wins the contest this
week until the first rally dance
next year.
This dance and listen event will
have a new turn that was not pres
ent in the first dance. It will start
at 1:4G. Dancing will begin at the
half and will continue throughout
the rest of the game. It will be so
arranged that those attending may
choose between dancing and listen
ing to the game during the second
half.
Tickets will be sold at the gate
only. The cup will be presented at
the dance.

Wednesday Music Recital
Displays Marked Abilities
By J. A. NEWTON
'TT'HE student recital began yes
terday afternoon with a Waltz
in E Minor by Moszkowski instead
of the Beethoven sonata movement
as was listed in yesterday’s Emer
ald. Marjorie Scobert played the
number, displaying a decided tech
nical smoothness.
The most difficult number at
tempted was the Liszt Hungarian
Rhapsody No. 12 played by Sally
Reed. The selection appears some
longer than many of the rhapso
dies, and contains practically every
frill Liszt could think of. It would
take a prodigious technique such
as the composer himself had, to
give it the brilliance of the usual
Liszt interpretation.
Byrle Ramp played the ‘‘Ballet
of the Happy Shades” by Gluck, a
beautiful melodious fantasy with
particularly pleasing modern har
monies. The number was recently
played by a professional pianist in
Portland. Ramp's interpretation
compared favorably with it. This
writer has long admired Ramp’s
musicianship, though he would
quarrel a bit with his tendency to
wards carlessness.
Catherine Mishler played Chop
in’s Nocturne in E Major. Appar
ently she is not used to solo ap
pearance. Self-consciousness is the
very thing which continued recital
appearance will cure. Thi3 element
hindered her playing. However, we
look forward to the time when she
overcomes this trouble, because
her expression and understanding
of the mood of her number was of
a very high order.
