Digest Draws Students Into Peace Ballot American (lollies Enter Nation-Wide Poll Led by Magazine Drive lo Learn Sentiment Of War, Nationalism Students of more than 100 Amer ican colleges have been drawn in to the nation wide peace poll con-! ducted by the Literary Digest } through the receipt of 300,000 bal-j lots mailed by the magazine. The Literary Digest, internation ally known magazine commentator on news events, printed the follow ing report on the college Peace Poll. Newspapers Start Drive “College n e wspapers have launched an editorial drive to in sure large and representative re turns. College editors have thrashed out both sides of every question included on the ballot. Faculty members and undergrad uate leaders have expressed opin ions in articles and interviews in the drive to stimulate discussion on the poll. “This is an effort to learn the extent of the sentiment in Ameri can colleges against jingoism, against war as an instrument of diplomacy, against arrogant na tionalism. Long groping, wander ing, warring “peace movements” have begun to seek crystallization, direction. England !*olls Houses “In England, the League of Na tions union is polling every house hold on five questions designed to crystallize the anti-war feeling in to action. The ballots go to all men and women over eighteen. “The anti-war sentiment in the United States has made most head way in schools and colleges; it is a part of the growing evidence that the American college genera tion has begun to think more and speak more about current social and economic trends here and in the world at large. Movement (Jets Opinions “Everywhere, press and public are becoming aware of the fact that some sort of conscious move ment is under way in American colleges. The Literary Digest, in cooperation with the Association of College Editors, is attempting, through the nation-wide College Trace Poll, to determine the direc tion of that movement as it fits in with tiie world-wide movement to wipe out war." The Daily IUini, student news paper of the University of Illinois, explains the purpose of the Peace] Poll: “The survey is not being con ducted to secure expert opinion on] world affairs. It is being made to determine whether students think and what they do think. The pri-l mary purpose of the survey is to stimulate student opinion on a sub ject of real consideration today." The five questions asked on the poll ballot, are: 3. Do you believe that tire United States could stay out of another great war? la) If the borders of the United States were invaded, would you bear arms in defense of your country? (b) Would you boar arms for the United States in lire in vasion of the borders of another country? 2. Do you believe that a national1 policy of art American navy and air force second to none is a sound method of insuring us against being drawn into an other great war ? 2. Do you advocate government control of armament and muni tions industries? 4 In alinement with our historic procedure in drafting man-pow er in time of war. would you ad vocate the principle of univer sal conscription of all resources of capital and labor in order to control all profits in time of war ? 5 Should the United States enter the League of Nations? Chamberlin (Continued from /’«</<• One) young Russian girl working at a steam hammer under which is the caption, “Peasant Recruits the In dustry Trys to Milk the Steam Hammer," quite aptly pictures the Russian situation, according to Chamberlin.

Ollt DAILY BKi: VD Tom Keene STUDENT TO I It With Charles Butterworlh Sam Wilder man Takes Honor Position; Moves Practice to Hi pit Court PORTLAND, Jan. 17—(API Ram Wilderman, Portland at- j torney, moved a notch higher in ^ his career as a barrister today when he was admitted to prac- , tice in federal court. Wilderman, former Portland newspaperman, was presented by Hugh L. Biggs, assistant United States attorney, and wel comed by Federal Judge James Alger Fee. educated or technically enough i developed to adapt themselves j successfully to such a strenuous! drive toward industrialization. ; Brutal Measures Used The confiscation of the Kulaks property by the Communistic gov ernment because they did not ap prove of the methods of coopera tive agriculture, and their exile to the mines and forests of Russia, is typical of the ruthless and brutal measures which the government has employed to carry out its pro gram, Chambeihn declared. “Their methods resemble closely wartime measures and there is not a possi bility for protest,” he explained. Chamberlin pointed out that the loss of lives was due both to the government's policy of jurispru dence by “Habeas Cadaverous” rather than the English custom of “Habeas Corpus,” and the high mortality rate due to death from starvation. “Who is greater, Stalin ot^ Hoo ver?” a story in Russia goes. Chamberlin said, “Well, the an sia will be towards greater in United States not to drink, but Stalin has taught the Russians not to eat, and from all observances Stalin has been the most success ful.” Explains Famine The famine of 1932 and 1933 that involved a death toll of three or four million the speaker attrib uted to three causes: 1. The government exported grain, sugar and other resources, of which there was a need, to gain foreign currency with which they could further their streuous drive for reorganization and industriali zation by purchase of machinery and other materials for production. 2. The transportation system was overloaded with heavy capital goods and proved inadequate to the strain, and food stuffs were not carried to areas of need but were left to rot and perish. 3. The compulsory reorganiza tion of agriculture, which forced cooperative farming, led to a de cline in the production of agricul tural products. The slaughtering of livestock by the dissatisfied peas antry was also a salient feature. ! Anecdotes Illustrate Chamberlin illustrated the atti-1 tilde and spirit of the people by telling several anecdotes that Rus sian people tell: "What people eat the most?” the question is asked and the answer comes, "The Russian people, be cause they can eat a week’s rations in one day." Another story is told of a woman who was telling someone about her family. "I have three sons,” she said. "One is an engineer, another a professor, and the third is in prison too." Since 1933 conditions of oppres sion have been somewhat alleviated and although the peasants are still exploited for the benefit of indus trialization, which includes a mili taristic movement, they have a fixed lux and are now informed what their tax will he before it is collected. “The Russian people are now \ getting a breathing space and there is more manfacturing of every day goods. The stringency is being released and the people are being encouraged to relax and enjoy life," Chamberlin said. "The trend tov.'aid moderation in domestic and foreign affairs is be coming more marked," he further stated, "and the Russian revolution is settling down and there is a de sire for a more settled social ord er." The future trend in Soviet Rus sia will be twoards greater in equalities between persons and the spread between the common work er and tlie government official is widening, Chamberlin stated. (clamor I’ades ('Contiiuinl from P<m<' One) working knowledge during the 60 years in Russia. 1 would advise you to give up the task!” Tell me, Mr. Chamberlin, is jour nalism taught in Russia? "It is. but the methods are en tirely foreign to our rules of jour nalism. A Russian journalist is taught, in his first year, how to write propaganda; in his second, bow to write propaganda, and if it takes him more than two years to pass his course, the third and fourth years ate devoted to the scientific learning of how to write propaganda.” And while we are speaking of v riting, tell me about Maxim Gorky; does he keep all the money he earns from his writings? “If not all. he keeps enough to live in the best of style and greatest of comfort. He is considered the au thor-laureate of Russia, and is read by everyone." Why are you leaving Russia ? "Well, ten years in one country is enough and then. too. the far east. Kelirli to Attend Special Meeting Of Cities League Group Will Approve Bills Written by Committee For Legislature Herman Kehrli, director of the municipal research bureau of the University, is leaving for Salem this morning to attend a special meeting of the League of Oregon cities of which he is the executive secretary. Representatives of cities from all parts of the state are ex pected to attend this meeting which was called by the legislative committee of the league. The purpose of the meeting is to approve bills already prepared by the legislative committee before they are offered to the legislature. After the meeting, which will be held in the chamber of commerce building this morning at 10 o'clock, the group will lunch with Governor Charles H. Martin at the Marion hotel. The bills which the legislative committee has prepared and which will be submitted to the league membership for approval include: Giving cities authority to pro vide for collection of city liens by tax collector in the same manner taxes are collected. Providing that no circulator of initiative, referendum, or recall petitions shall receive compensa tion for securing names thereon. To amend the Knox law to give cities the right to superimpose licenses and make other adjust ments. To give cities the right to levy occupational taxes. Appointing interim committee to study distribution of revenues from gas tax and auto license money. where I am going to Tokio, by the way, promises to be a most interesting center in the near fu ture, and I want to be there, to see history in the making." Occasionally, Chamberlin man ages to forget Russia and all her problems for a while, and plays a few sets of tennis, and is quite an expert with the racquet. "I enjoy climbing mountains, too,” the famed journalist, author, and lec turer told us, "and have climbed the Caucauses many times.” Chamberlin is American born— in Brooklyn, New York, in 1897. He became a newspaperman fol lowing his graduation from Haver ford college. Journalism naturally "ran in his blood,” his father and grandfather having been newspa permen before him. He married in 1920 —- Sonya Trosten, a Russian born Ameri can citizen. His one daughter, Nadyezhdo, was born in Moscow in 1927. Startling Talk (Continued front Page One) the ordinary current which alter nates 60 1 imes a second by the use of radio tubes to produce what is known as a broadcast frequency. At the same time the apparatus changes t lie curve of the current from a continuous one as it is in the radio to a discontinuous curve. This is done to prevent the instru ment from digging holes in the tis sue instead of making a clean cut incision. The high frequency is nec essary because an electric current reuses a muscle reaction on the make and break of the current. No reaction occurs in the muscle after a frequency of 60.000 is reached. T i illustrate this, Mr. Spangler held the collections from the ma chine in His hands and turned on I he current with reaction. Lecture Illustrated Mr. Spangler illustrated his lec ture by making incisions in a piece of meat. The meat was laid upon a conducting plate which acted as one connection, while his dull cutting knives were applied to the desired point of the incision and the current was turned on. Al though the knives were dull and would not cut the meat when the current was off, they passed through it easily as tHo current ex ploded the cells. The instruments used by the demonstrator were a curved dull knife used in making a clean incision, a round hall for stopping the flow of blood from large vessels, and a hollow loop of wire with which tissue was scooped out. Although the demonstartion was projected upon a screen, Mr. Spangler repeated ins operation at the requests of his audience so that they could view it at closer range. Now Group Organizing Before the demonstration, action was taken in regard to the forming on this campus of a precedical or ganization, similar to Asklepiads, pre-medical honorary, except that membership will be open to all pre medical students. Herb Armertront opened the discussion and sug gested Max Carter as temporary chairman. Georgia Barton told of such organizations in other schools and pointed out the possibilities of such an organization In closing the gap between the medical college and the pre-medical student. Of ficers will be elected and a consti tution will be presented at the next meeting which will be held Janu ary 23, following a lecture by Dr. Ross on the subject of high blood pressure.

Heading the list of fiction is “American Family" by Faith Bald win. the story of a man’s heroic struggle to make a place for him self in the land of his fathers, based on the author’s own family history. “Via Mala" by the Swiss writer, John Knittel, is a tale of tender love and dark passions with an Al pine setting in the background. The humorous story of a boy laised on a desert island by three missionaries and sent out into the world equipped with their combined ideas is told in “How Like an An gel'' by A. G. Macdonell. “Outward Bound From Liver pool" is a tale of tragedy and irony by the French novelist, Edouard Peisson, while “Merrily We Roll Along” is George Kaufmann’s most recent play. Pearl Buck completes her tril ogy with "A House Divided,” a story of the modern revolution torn China. "Sounding Harbors” by Eleanor Mereein gives authen tic glimpses of the Dalmation coast of Yugoslavia.

This is a book of revelations about the inside workings of diplomacy. Grides’ Winter Dance Will Test Myth Tonight The myth of the eccentric chand eliers in the grand alumni hall of Gerlinger, directly below the AWS room, will be tested when Orides, organization of unaffiliated women on the campus, give their winter semi-formal dance tonight in the AWS room, which, 'rumor has it, may cause the chandeliers to crash to the floor by reason of the danc ing over head. Another significant feature of this event is that the AWS room has never before been the scene of a dance, therefore those attending will have the added thrill of danc ing in untracked territory. The dance, the Orides Orientale, begins at 9, and all unaffiliated women on the campus are invited to attend. Patrons will be Dr. and Mrs. SChwering, Mr. and Mrs. Huffaker, Miss Janet Simth, and Miss Elizabeth Scruggs. Tom Mc Call’s orchestra will furnish music, WAA Initiates 150 New Members January 22 Nearly 150 campus women will be taken into active and associate membership of the Women's Ath letic association January 22 at '( :30 p. m. when initiation will be held at Alumni hall. Frances Watzek is in charge of sirrangements for the initiation. Asisting are Mary Margaret Hunt, Dorothy B ergstrom, Thel ma Spooner, and Maxine Goetsch. \ew Geological r Chart on Display On display in the geology labor-! atory in the basement of Condon ] hall is a recently finished colored i chart entitled “Generalized Geo-1 logic Cross Section of the United j States.” The chart was obtained; in black and white outline from! the United States Geologic Sur- \ vey. Stuart Mockford, art stu-! dent, has just finished coloring the chart so that its variouss sections j ere readily discernible. The geologic formation of the United States is illustrated in cross section by the diagram, which covers a strip through the center of the country from coast to coast. The shape of the rock formations across the country is shown by lines on the chart ,and the nature of the rock in the formation is represented by a separate color for each kind. The difference between the geo logic structure of the great plains and the mountainous sections can be easily seen on the chart, and the Pacific coast mountains are shown to be much more rugged than those on the eastern coast. Freed Classes in Adult Recreation Will Open Adidt recreation classes open to anyone over 20 will open next Tuesday at the Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt junior high schools, under the supervision of Miss Florence Alden of the department of physical education of the Uni versity. They will be absolutely free. A feature of the courses offered is several different types of danc ing, among which the women may select clogging, folk dancing and natural dancing. The accompanist for dancing is Theresa Kelly, a mu sic major who is getting an M.A. degree in the school of music at the University. Many games will also be avail able, ranging from relay races through deck tennis, shuffle board, badminton, volleyball, and basket ball. Badminton is creating great interest throughout the nation. It is similar to tennis but is played with a feather shuttlecock instead of with a ball. The game originat ed in England and is being received in the United States with much enthusiasm. Parsons Describes Meet as ‘Humdinger’ “The meeting Monday night was a humdinger,” was Dr. Philip A. Parsons’ way of describing the meeting of a large group of civic and social organizations which he spoke to at the Portland hotel in behalf of a bill proposing a state department of public welfare. Dr. Parsons is professor of sociology here and also chairman of the Oregon state planning council, originator of the bill. The bill proposing the state de partment of public welfare will be introduced to the legislature today, sponsored by the American Legion. This department, if it is created, will combine the activities of the child welfare board, the parole board, the state probation com mission, the boards supervising all IRISH CASH STORES Food Headquarters LOW PRICES EVERY DAY SUGAR Fine pure ciiuo. 1 0 lbs. 100 lbs.$4.85 49c FLOUR 49 lbs.
