Richberg Sees
Six Permanent
NRA Features
New York Speech Said
To Be Significant
Hits 30-Hour Week
Head of Executive Council
Has New Conception of
Anti-Trust Laws
NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (API
A six point program of essentials
for permanent NRA legislation, in
cluding a new conception of the
anti-trust laws, was advanced to
night by Donald R. Richberg, di
rector of President Roosevelt’s ex
ecutive council.
Richberg, in an address here,
pointed also toward strong admin
istration opposition to organized
labor’s demands for a national 30
hour week. His statements were
considered of unusual significance,
despite repeated assertions that he
expressed only his own views
which “may not be generally ac
ceptable.”
Six Points Stressed
Although Richberg did not seg
regat his six points pertaining to
a permanent NRA, he did lay
stress on the following:
1. Preservation of the "flexibility
of code making” both as to com
mercial practices and labor condi
tions.
2. “I believe there is a demon
strable soundness in the fixing of
minimum wages and maximum
hours for each trade and industry.”
3. ‘‘Admittedly, dishonest busi
ness practices should be pro
scribed.”
Exactpess Needed
4. ‘‘Exact reports of production,
prices, wages, employment and
such fundamental knowledge of
economic conditions is necessary
for economic seccurity in an in
dustrial civilization.”
5. “We must change one mis
conception of the anti-trust laws
They were not intended as re
straints upon agreement to com
pete fairly.”
6. “I am profoundly convinced
that as originally written and pre
sented to congress, it (section 7a,
guaranteeing labor's collective bar
gaining rights) expressed clearly
a sound principle for the mainten
ance of satisfactory labor rela
tions.”
Museum Cataloger
Back From Trip East
Miss Mable Klockers, cataloguer
for the museum of art, returned
Monday from a six months tour of
the eastern states. During her trip
she visited many of the most im
portant museums, and the exhibits
at the World's Fair.
Miss Klockers included in her
trip a visit to the annual meeting
of the American association of
museums that was held in Toronto.
She was acocmpanied by Mrs.
Gertrude Bass Warner who has not
yet returned to the campus.
Student Rehearsal Displays
Improvement in Technique
ONSTANT improvement was the
outstanding characteristic dis
played by Byrle Ramp in yester
day’s student rehearsal. This was
Ramp's third appearance in the
weekly recitals, and each time his
technique becomes smoother, his
expression more accurate, though a
little exaggerated. He played Bee
thoven’s Sonata with delicacy, with
good execution, despite a little
fumbling; however, one gains the
impression that Ramp’s expression
is a bit forced, perhaps mechani
cal, and does not express real feel
ing on the part of the pianist.
Madelle Beidler once again did
splendidly, this time in a rendition
of Grieg’s Nocturne. Her tone and
accentuation were excellent. Her
only difficulty lay in an over-em
phasis of the bass chords.
Variety was introduced by two
vocal solos sung by Don Carruth.
Carruth's bass voice was strained
decidedly at times to manage the
high notes of his selections. Per
haps music better suited to him
would develop his tone; at present
it is blurred and lacks freedom.
The last numbers were present
ed by Dorothy Howell, a young
pianist who shows decided talent.
Miss Howell’s first selection, En
Bateau by Zeckwer, is of the mod
em school. Her execution of it
lacked decided expression but dis
played excellent technique. Pader
ewski’s Scherzino, a beautifully
melodious number, was played
much more sympathetically. Miss
Howell's only difficulties were hes
: itant and too-rapid playing, both
in all probability will clear up with
1 more public appearances.
Thanksgiving Day
Plans Underway
For Southern Tilt
Tickets on Sale for Game
In San Francisco
For $1.65
With many students planning to
go to San Francisco next week to
witness the Oregon-St. Mary’s grid

body cards, as well as outsiders,
may purchase seats on the 50 yard
line from the graduate manager's
office in McArthur court. They are
priced at $1.65.

Rosson, graduate manager, or his
representative, in the lobby of the
Clift hotel in San Francisco some
time before the starting of the
game at 1:30 p. m. to exchange
their student body cards for free
tickets to the tilt.
These tickets will admit the
holders to the Oregon section of
Kezar stadium. Rosson stressed
the fact that student body tickets
would absolutely not be honored at
the stadium for admission to the
game.
The Oregon team will lea.ve the
local Southern Pacific station at
noon Tuesday and will arrive in
San Francisco about 1 o’clock Wed
nesday morning.
i*or parties ot 15 or more the
Southern Pacific offers round trip
rates at $13.75 with an additional
charge of $5 for a sleeper. Pro
vided more than a hundred students
make the trip, the round trip will
cost $12.50 with sleepers $4 extra.
Venita Brous at the Alpha Chi
Omega hous is in charge of stu
dent contact about rates.
Oregon alumni living in the bay
region have been contacted and
asked to support the lemon and
yellow team in the rooting section
that is to be conducted by the ral
ly committee. The cheer leaders
are going to the game en masse,
due to the support given them by
the students at recent rally events.
They are going to make the jour
ney in private cars and will leave
Tuesday to return the following
Sunday.

Band Members Must
Pass Technique Test
Examinations on scales and
playing technique will be given
members of the band this year be
fore final grades are issued, John
Stehn, Oregon’s band director, an
nounced yesterday.
“There will either be an im
provement in the band or a ‘de
provement’ in grades,” Stehn said.
“In a majority of cases, stu
dents have learned to play by sim
ply picking up instruments and
playing,” he explained. “They have
never learned the foundation of
scales or fundamental technique.
This does not make for good mu
sic, and I hope that examinations
will prompt them to do better.”

Red Sunsets Remind Psmith
Of Bursting Poached Eggs
44QH, aren’t you lonesome out
here?” exclaimed Miss Pea
vey, romantically inclined poetess
as she came out on the terrace at
Blanding’s castle and saw Psmith
professional manager of affairs,
standing by himself.
“Not at all. I’ve lots of fuhny
little thoughts to keep me com
pany,” was the brisk reply.
"But don’t you want to come
along and see the sunset?” invited
Miss Peavey, looking at the view
with a rapt expression on her face.
“Whenever I see a sunset, it seems
like I am looking at a great ball
of gold sinking right down into an
ocean of silver.”
“And whenever I see a sunset,”
replied Psmith, “I always think
of a great big poached egg bursting
on a Turkey carpet. Don’t pinch
that—it’s copyright. So long!”
This is just one of the many
scenes to be seen in P. G. Wode
house's amusing play, “Leave It
to Psmith," which is being present
id in the Guild theater this Friday
and Saturday evening.
In a brief scene between Fred
die, the irresponsible son of Lord
Middlewick, and Phyllis, his fiance
is shown, the latter telling Fred
die that she has been discussing
him with her father.
"And what was the old boy’s
reaction to me as a matrimonial
prospect?" was his eager inquiry.
“He wasn’t very complimentary,
darling.”
"Oh, that’s all right,” came Fred
die’s cheerful response. “I knew
him. One of these stern, flint-like
Englishmen who crush down their
emotions. What did he say?”
“He said that you were utterly
brainless, insufferably conceited,
and bone idle.”
“But otherwise he likes me?”
asked Freddie happily.
