GOLD CASE CONTINUES I
WASHINGTON—The supreme!
court was virtually ready tonight |
to begin formulating a momentous |
decision on the constitutionality of j VOLUME XXXVI
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1935
s.o.s.
Is the University of Oregon to
have an Emerald thi3 term ? The
answer hangs in the balance. To
day’s staff meeting in 105 Journal
ism at 4:00 o'clock is essential to
the future of the paper.
NUMBER 49
Key pauses ui uie :;uu.'(,jvcn mone
tary program.
Leaning forward across the high
mahogany bench of their severely
furnished court room, the nine
justices today heard attacks upon
the government’s monetary activi
ties as a breach of solemn contract,
and in turn heard government
counsel plead that they render a
decision which would “not defeat
the early return of prosperity to
this weary land.”
HUEY, TOWNSEND ARE BUSY
WASHINGTON —- Louisiana’s
Huey P. Long and California's Dr.
F. E. Townsend tonight were striv
ing with some success, they
claimed to mass America’t millions
behind their “leftist” economic
philosophies — redistribution of
wealth and recovery through
spending.
Willing to run for president on
a promise to make “every man a
king,” Long, from his senatorial
office, projected the organization
of new “share our wealth” societies
to augment the 3,000,000 he now
asserts are members.
In a tiny hotel suite, the lean,
elderly Townsend enlisted a new
force of organizers to draft the
American citizenry behind his old
age pension movement which
would pay every man and woman
over 60 years of age $200 a month.
FRANCE TO HAVE NEW DEAL
PARIS—The new deal Premier
Pierre-Etinne Flandin promised
France last November was pre
sented to the chamber of deputies
today.
A “modififed American NIRA
plan,” the government-introduced
legislation seeks adjustment of
French industry to emergency con
ditions. It was in line with the
pledge Flandin tok when he be
came premier early in November
that this government would fight
poverty and unemployment.
BILBO OPPOSES SYKES
WASHINGTON - Hardly had
the names of 1,500 presidential ap
pointees reached the senate today
before opposition to confirmation
of some of them appeared.
An individual contest against
confirmation of Eugene O. Sykes,
of Mississippi, chairman of the
1 federal communications commis
sion, was promised by Senator
Bilbo (D. Miss.).
CHINA ACCUSES AMERICA
SHANGHAI—An indirect accu
sation that America’s silver buying
policy is forcing China into eco
nomic depression, the seriousness
of which the world little realizes,
was made today in national gov
ernment circles.
DENMAN APPOINTED JUDGE
SAN FRANCISCO — The ap
pointment of William Denman, a
San Francisco attorney, to be a
judge of the ninth United States
circuit court of appeals was an
nounced today in Washington,
marking the designation of one of
the state’s best known liberals for
the high court bench.
Denman became known as a
fighter against corruption in pub
lic office when he was made chair
man of the mayor’s committee to
rid San Francisco of municipal
graft after the earthquake and fire
of 1906.
MIAMI HAS AIR RACES
MIAMI—Aces of the air zoomed
over the municipal airport here to
day in the opening events of
Miami’s seventh annual all-Ameri
can races.

Plan Futu re,
Urges Dana
At Assembly
Says Capitalism to Stay
If Proper Restrictions
Are Made
Democracy Tested
Speaker Is Very Optimistic
About Future
Planning to “provide for neces
sities and pleasures of human
kind" was the plea made to his
audience by Marshall N. Dana, as
sociate editor of the Oregon Jour
nal, who spoke to a large gather
ing of students and townspeople
in Gerlinger hall yesterday after
noon on the subject “Making To
morrow Today.” Dana is also
chairman of the Northwest plan
ning commission.
“In 25 years of residence in the
Northwest, I have never felt so
optimistic about the outlook of
this region as I feel now,” asserted
the speaker. He stated that if he
were a youth he would face the
future with more confidence than
at any time since he has lived in
this region of the country.
Democracy faces the big test of
securing economic and social sta
bility. Today the American people
are working on a program that is
leading to a definite objective in
the future. This and coming gener
ations must undertake to solve the
problems that face us before it is
too late. Capitalism will not be
diecarded in this country but its
boundaries must be restricted.
“Many ownerships are better
than a few,” Dana said. Smaller
profits for everyone are better
than large ones for a few.
The Oregon state plannig council
has begun a 10 year program of
development to beter human wel
fare that will be a bright and shin
ing example for the rest of the
country if it is completed.
Of the old age pensions, Dana
said: “We are coming to the time
when old age will be honored and
respected.” Many of the plans be
fore the people today for these
pensions are fantastic in their
proportions as they go beyond the
financial reach of the people to
day. This generation will live to
see old age pensions adopted in this
country.
Child labor has been abolished,
to a great extent, under the New
Deal.
Speaking of education, Dana
said that “it is a vital and indis
pensible factor. The educated peo
ple must abolish their living in the
state of more or less oblivion and
must furnish training, proficiency
and leadership.
Dana appealed to the people to
do something about the erosion of
the lands that is taking place, the
reclamation of more waste lands,
the carelessness exercised in the
cutting of the forests. He sug
gested the electrification of farms
in the Northwest as a worthwhile
project to be undertaken, as only
10 per cent of the farms are now
electrified.
The PWA has organized a list of
projects that will necessitate the
spending of over 200 milions of
dolars in the Northwest. This list
includes two projects on the Co
lumbia river and/ one on the upper
Missouri in Montana. Dana said
that this was a large sum to spend,
but that the people must deal with
them in carrying out the plans for
the future.
The Pacific Northwest has
passed through two eras in its his
tory—the period of mountain men
and trappers and the agricultural
era that began with the coming of
the covered wagons. The North
west is now entering a third era—■
an industrial era. Although the
methods being used to establish
this era may not be perfect, Dana
avered that the right purpose is in
mind.

Jascha Heifetz Shows Rare
Ability Other Than on Violin
Backgammon may have replaced
mah-jong everywhere else on Park
avenue, but in the Heifetz pent
house it’s still ping-pong. The vio
linist is a ping-pong addict and
prides himself on his freak serves.
Last summer, coming home on the
S.S. lie de France from a European
tour, he won the ping-pong cham
pionship.
Jascha Heifetz, world renowned
violinist, is to appear in concert
here in Eugene at McArthur court
Saturday, January 16, under the
sponsorship of the ASUO. Student
body members will be admitted
free to the event.
After winning the ping-pong
championship aboard the ship, he
played at the ship’s concert for the
benefit of the sailors’ fund. The
next morning he was stopped on
deck by A little man who came up
to him timidly and said in an awe
struck voice: “Mr. Heifetz, I must
tell you how marvelous your play
ing yesterday was.” ‘‘Thank you,”
murmured the violinist politely
"Yes,” continued the man more
boldly, in the grip of an uncontrol
lable enthusiasm, ‘‘never before
have I seen a more magnificent
service!"
Since the time of the mauve dec
ade when the ladies of the house
hold amused themselves batting
knitted balls across a dining roon
table with decorated rackets, ping
pong has developed into a serious
game.
“And rightly so,” comments
Heifetz. "It is a game of skill anc
science, very fast, requiring quick
eye, a steady wrist, and sounc
judgment. The expert always plan
his play after sizing up his op
ponent. Like a good chess player
a good ping pong player uses his
head as well as his hands. It is ar
admirable combination of menta
and physical exercise.”

Peace Poll
Is Started
Emerald Presents List
Of Questions on
War, Army
Ballots Solicited
Literary Dipest Sponsors
Search for Opinion
Cooperating with the Association
of College Editors and the Literary
Digest the Emerald will be one of
the 150 college newspapers in the
United States to join in determin
ing the attitude of American un
dergraduates in regard to war and
peace, it was announced late yes
terday.
According to word received by
the Emerald yesterday, the Liter
ary Digest will this week mail an
individual questionnaire to every
University student listed in this
’ ear’s student directory. The bal

the Literary Digest in the identical
manner ns the previous straw vote
investigations conducted by that
magazine during pre-election cam
paigns.
Editor Asks Cooperation
“The Emerald urges all Oregon
students to answer the questions
appearing on the ballots according
to their true convictions so that an
accurate cross-section of the opin
ion of University thought may be
available for comparison with the
results of the poll on other cam
puses,” said Bill Phipps, editor,
yesterday.
In inaugurating the nationwide
poll under the auspices of the Lit
erary Digest, which will handle all
the mechanics, the Association of
College Editors and cooperating
papers hope to secure the definite
convictions of the great majority
cf American undergraduates.
By obtaining this opinion it i3
felt that weight of opinion of col
lege and university students of this
country may help to mould future
policies in the field of government
and diplomatic relations.
Questions Listed
Below is the phrasing of the
questions that will be sent out on
the A.C.E.-Literary Digest peace
poll ballots:
1. Do you believe that the United
States could stay out of another
great war?
(a) If the borders of the Unit
ed States were invaded, would you
bear arms in defense of your coun
try?
(b) Would you bear arms for
the United States in the invasion
of the borders of another country ?
2. Do you believe that a national
policy of an American navy and
air force second to none is a sound
method of insuring us against be
ing drawn into another great war?
3. Do you advocate government
control of armament and munition
industries ?
4. In alignment with our historic
procedure in drafting man-power
ir. time of war, would you advo
cate the principle of universal con
scription of all resources of capital
and labor in order to control all
profits in time of war?
5. Should the United States en
