Perkins Savs Social Safety *On the \\ ay' Willo, Wagner Expound Insurance* Measure* To Senators WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.— (APt I >—Self-assured and m o d i s h 1 y j garbed in black, Secretary Frances I Ferkins today testified that the j a iministration’s social security plan provided a "reasonable start” toward safeguarding against the "major hazards of life.” Explaining the program to the house ways and means commit tee, the first woman cabinet mem ber said extensions might be built upon the structure called for by the bill as the need arose. Wagner Speaks Also She has made a specialty of so cial security problems and spoke after another authority on the sub ject, Senator Wagner (D-NY), re viewed the pending measure for members of the senate finance committee. "We realize that this does not provide a hundred per cent pana cea,” Miss Perkins said, “but it seemed better to recommend a rea sonable start rather than to take too big a plunge.” Expert Explains Plan The secretary appeared after an administration expert had said the unemployment insurance plan would put a fund of probably two billion dollars in the hands of the secretary of the treasury with which to stabilize business credit. Edwin E. W'itte, executive direc tor of the economic security com mittee set up by President Roose velt, said such use of the reserve fund built up by a pay roll tax was contemplated by the bill. The com mittee helped draft the proposals contained in the bill. Secretary Perkins said health in surance was still a matter of study and a committee would be ready to report in a month or so. Pension I.imit Set "We have recommended that the age be fixed at G5 for old age pen sions because we realize that it lias become very difficult for a man who is more than 65 to obtain a job," she said, adding this was true regardless of qualifications. Both Witte and Wagner said that if the unemployment insurance plan proposed had been in opera tion during Die li)2o's it would have greatly reduced tire effects of the depression. House Libraries Sliow Popularity Of Fiction, Facts An observation made by Miss Bernice Rise, circulation manager of the library, indicates that wom en like fiction, novels, and poetry, while men favor heavier reading matter such as discussions of cur rent economic problems and mys tery stories. This observation is a result of tlie lending project sponsored by the library in which books are lent to sororities and fraternities for a period of a month for Hie purpose of promoting elutural reading for students. The project has proved fairly successful, raid Miss Rise. “Twenty-two houses have signed up for loans this term, which is six more than there were last term.” About 450 books are in the collection and include novels, fic tion, non-fiction such as essays, discussions of economics and poli tics, poetry, travel, and mystery looks. Biographies and autobiographies are especially popular, Miss Rise said, naming "Confessions of an Actor" by John Barrymore, and “Eva La GaGlIienne," as two of the most popular. Two years ago Miss Rise began the project by sending •> group of 50 books to Susan Campbell hall each term, and as this proved suc cessful, last spring Dean Onthar.k supplied funds of the personnel de partment for the traveling library collection. This fail M. H. Doug lass, librarian, supplied more funds to carry on the project.

Ball in Honor Of Roosevelt Planned Here vFojh'v Donated to Fight Infantile Paralysis To Aid Eugene Campus students and Eugen eans will celebrate President Roosevelt’s birthday with the Na tional Birthday Ball which will be held in McArthur court, January 30. Two orchestras will provide mu sic and features have been planned. Tickets for the ball are on sale on the campus through the Tonqueds with Virginia Endicott in charge. Lawrence E. Simmons is chair man of the Eugene Birthday Ball committee. The ticket selling cam paign is under the direction of Hugh Reynolds and will begin to day. A phase of interest in connec tion with the Birthday ball is a huge telegram which will be deliv ered to the president from millions of citizens throughout the United States. A local telegram will be sent. Those wishing to have their names on the telegram may do so by calling either the Postal Tele graph or Western Union offices in Eugene and paying 25 cents. The total amount of money will be turned over to the president for the fund which will carry on the fight against infantile paralysis. Seventy cents of every dollar taken in is to remain in the local community for the rehabilitation of resident infantile paralysis suf ferers under the direction of the local Birthday ball committee. Thirty cents of every dollar will be turned over to the national committee for delivery to the pres ident to be presented by him to the president's Birthday Ball com mittee for infantile research, which he will create to widen research ef forts which are aimed at wiping out the disease itself in an effort toward protecting the present and future generations against the menace. Flicker Flashes Bv Cynthia Liljoqvist Like manna from heaven in a great drought of pale, undeveloped movies, came “One Night cf Love," C ' nial prf en al ic n, an d renewed our faith in motion picture pro- j ducers, caliber of actors, public ‘ taste, everything, including the New Deal. If you can sit through a picture three times and still get a thrill, still laugh heartily, still sit in a perfect glow of enjoyment, there is something there akin to art. But don’t let us scare you out. As nearly as I can crystalize what I really think of this picture is likening it to the first mountain climb after school in June. One is exhilirated; freed; and touched with a sense of grandeur. Grace Moore leaves one like that. The plot is deftly contrived around Mary Bennet (Grace Moore) young' American woman with operatic ambitions, who leaves for Italy on $500 to get a start with her voice. The Italian scene opens gaily on the balcony of Mary's pensione from which her singing, accom panied by various musicians which tradition holds abound in music loving Italy, is rewarded by copi ous bouquets of vegetables. Refusing to accept financial aid from an admirer, Mary becomes the singing cigarette girl in a cafe. Guillo Montiverdi, (Tullio Carmin ati) maestro, who has sworn-off training another opera star be cause of the unfortunate love ele ment which always enters, hears her sing an old Italian folk song and, impressed, rushes to her dressing room where he makes the classic remark: “It is a joy to see a Carmen who weighs less than a bull.” Two years of rigorous train ing, that tax Mary’s patience to the upmost, and weaken Monte verdi’s oath not to fall in love, sup ply a never ending succession of amusing and delightful incidents, culminating in splendid scenes from the opera Carmen. The designing Lally, Mona Bar rie, forms the triangle that sends Mary off in a huff to the Metropol itan opera house where she fails until Tullio directs her in Madame Butterfly, a fitting climax to the picture. Crace Moore staged a great comeback in this vehicle. Her two earlier movie attempts were fail ures and she was tagged as an opera star with no acting ability. Not until the select audience at the preview of “Orife Night of Love” rose from their seats clap ping as in a real opera, was her acting talent realized. Her por trayal was devoid of that studied dramatic quality that hangs heavily on other stars. She acts with a refreshing abandon and naturalness, including little awk ward gestures, abundance of en thusiasm, and a complete disregard for a long skinny body, that is a joy to watch. Tullio makes the ordinary movie hero, Gable, et al, look like jelly fish at the mercy of the waves. God bless the background sans Hollywoodisms, the producers for bringing us Tullio, her heavenly voice, real humor, music, no raw sex. Please God may we have more like it.
