Resume of the Day’s News By the Associated Press - JANUARY 28 WASHINGTON — Further mod ification of President Roosevelt’s 84,880,000.000 work relief bill was foreshadowed today by anothei Democratic uprising- against the measure, led by the man the chief executive calls an “unreconstruct ed rebel,” Carter Glass, of Vir ginia. The 77-year-old Virginian re belled against the broad language of the measure and spoke his mind at an executive session of the ap propriations committee which he heads. Several changes were made in the bill on the house side last week after Democrats protested it gave too much power to the president. PRIMARY BILL HITS SNAG SALEM — Legislative action on the proposal to change the date of the primary election from May to September was further delayed to day as it came up under special order of business and was shot back to the house elections com mittee of the Oregon legislature. The bill ran into snags in the committee when it was learned many election provisions had been excluded and that it made no pro vision for presidential electors or for other matters decided at the primary elections. It further de veloped that the state grange was opposed to the bill and requested a public hearing. C AND ADI AN FLOODS RAGE VANCOUVER, B. C. — Flood racked British Columbians, fight ing a storm on the coast and inun dations and earth slides in the in terior, counted 19 dead tonight as they struggled to get relief to sev eral hundred refugees. Pumps thumped steadily in the Fraser river valley as workmen strove to empty muddy yellow flood waters into the rivers, but a gale blowing up on the coast threatened to balk their heroic ef forts. Officials said they were only “guessing” when damage was es timated at $1,000,000, because communications were hamstrung, highways engulfed by water and railroad tracks washed out. A DMINISTRATION, LABOR SPLIT WASHINGTON — A clear-cut split developed today between the administration and the American Federation of Labor. over--bow much should be spent for old age pensions and job insurance. William Green, president of the federation, appearing before a sen ate committee, urged a wide liber alization of the administration’s social security plans.

C. A. Brand of Roseburg moved that the section embodying the lengthy statement of a former board president, Roscoe Nelson, be omitted from the printed docu ment. While the statement at that time was adopted as the policy of the board, Brand today said it was something they “all want to for get.” f The section dealth with treat ment to be accorded any insubor dination among staff members or “subversive tactics.” Defending the section, B. F. Ir vine said: “We might leave that out of the code, but it is still good law. J don’t think the fac ulties should be telling the board what to do, and I believe the state ment is as good now as it was then, but X have no objection to taking it out if you don’t want it in there.” Brand explained that all con cerned, including Chancellor Kerr and Nelson, would prefer that it be omitted. There were no adverse votes to the motion. Summer sessions were author ized for 1935 on the usual basis, these now being so largely self supporting that only $7500 was ap propriated to supplement the fee income. Provisional awarding of bids on the Eastern Oregon Normal train ing school to be built with a PWA grant and loan was made by the board. It was not fully determined whether the bids for the entire construction, involving approxi mately $138,000 could be accepted or whether the construction must proceed without the phystical edu cation plant, leaving the cost at about $120,000.

Revived Husky Slashes Ducks In 42-36 Battle Game Tied 5 Times First Half; Huskies Apply Steam in Second Teams Play Again Tonight; Oregon in Basement By Bill Melnturff A pack of basket-crazed Huskies boomed back in the second half last night at McArthur court to defeat Oregon, 42-36. The game was tied five tmies in the first half, was tied five times in the first half. Washington’s last minute stalling game failed, although Sanford and Liebowitz managed to slice four points off the Husky lead. Glen Sanford, smallest man on the floor, was the bulwark of the Webfoot ouintet. He not only dogged Bobby Galer’s every move but also ran up high score of the game, with 11 points. Chuck Wagner, Washington wild man, was outstanding for th» visitors. With a total of 10 points, he tied his teammate, Ralph Bis hop, and Willie Jones of Oregon for second rank scoring honors. Tie for Cellar Position With this, the fifth, loss Oregon ties Washington State in the con ference basement. Washington’s second place standing was unaf fected by the results of last night's game. Oregon State continues to lead the conference with five vic tories and but two defeats. The Huskies and Webfoots meet again in McArthur court at 7:30 tonight.

Military Pomp of Japanese Depicted by Museum Dolls Hideyoshi, Japan's greatest mil itary hero of all times, mounted on a spirited horse and surrounded by his most trusted generals and guards, dominates the attention in the group of boys' festival dolls which is on display in the Japanese loom of the Murray Warner Ori ental Art museum. For centuries it has been the custom in Japan to set aside each fifth day of May for the boys of the land. At this time they are given dolls depicting the noted statesmen, warriors, and heroes of the country. The boys themselves dress as warriors and carry small weapons of battle. Valor and mil itary virtue are the paramount idea of the day, while the dolls are a secondary feature to carry out the principal meaning. Parades, mili tary exhibitions, and displays of various types; comprise the main activities of the festival. The set of boys dolls in the mu seum were made for a boy in a family of rank of Daimyo about the year 1770. Standing fully a foot high the dolls present a very realistic appearance, contrasting j remarkably with the more conven tionalized and formal dolls made for girls. Hideyoshi, who is often called the Napoleon of Japan, and who expanded the empire into the mainland and became the regent of one of Japan’s most brilliant epochs, has an idealistic expres sion characteristic of his nature. The facial expression of his two generals are appropriate to their characters also—the one appear ing wise and just, typifying the true statesman that he was; the other expressing clearly his nature, which won for him the reputation of being Hideyoshl’s most fiery v/arrior. The dolls are complete in every respect from their carefully con structed armor and battle equip ment to their features and bear ings. They belong to the Tensho period* 3-5 Vote Banishes Law Blocking Sale Over Large District Repeal in Effect Immediately; Petition Presnted by 21 Restanranteers; Action Is Surprise By George (.'alias There shall be no dry zone around the University of Oregon campus. So ordained the Eugene city councilmen in their meeting last night when they voted a repeal ordinance to prohibit from going into effect an ordinance which they passed in their last meeting. The latter legislation provided that an area around the University, from Pearl street east to the city limits and from Broadway south to the city limits, be designated as a dry zone wherein no alcholic beverages could be dispensed after February 1. The repeal will become effective immediately and consequently the previous ordinance will not have any effect on owners of establish ments were beer is sold. The motion was passed by a 5-3 vote after the council had heard read a petition which was signed by 21 restaurant owners that would have been included in the dry zone. This dry ordinance had been passed upon in the January 14 meeting was merely a revision of the first * dry zone law which was passed in Little theater Opens 2 Stage Plays Tonight ‘The Father,’ ‘Pygmalion and Galatea’ Billed For 5-Day Run Featuring- a number of promi nent faculty members and Univer sity students Stringberg’s well known tragedy, “The Father,” and W. S. Gilbert's comedy-farce, “Pygmalion and Galatea" will be gin its five-day run on the Very Little Theater stage at 8 o’clock tonight. Through the combined efforts of Lance Hart, president of the Very Little Theater players, and Arthur Gray, graduate of the University and one of the original founders of the community acting organization, two unusual and beautiful stage settings have been worked out for the productions. Both the light ing effects and stage settings give promise of being the most unique that have ever been used in Eu gene. According to Mr. William Tug rnan, director of the productions, “The Father” is one of the clas sics of dramatic literature. It deals with the theme that love be tween the sexes is only strife, since there is a continual struggle going on for domination. Serving as a relief from the heavy tragedy and illustrating very effectively how two plays can be presented on the same stage with very little change of scenery and lighting effects “Pygmalion and Galatea” follows “The Father.” The cast for “The Father” in cludes Ernest Knollin, Elizabeth Scruggs, Mary Shore Mishler, Sal iy Allen, Robert Horn, Kenneth Shoemaker, Blair Alderman, Jack Bryan, and Rodney Burden. "Pygmalion and Galatea” feat ures Arthur Gray, Mildred Le Compte Moore, Mary Jean War ner, Gretchen Wintermeir, Roberta Bennett, Hugh Rosson, Mazie Guis tina, Jack Bryan, Rodney Burden and Alex Atterbury.

This second attempt at prohibition, however, had extended the area affected by the ruling to almost double the original territory. There was no serious opposition to the bill, and the council passed it without any dilly-dallying or any voiced objection from members of the council or from the towns people who were present. Those who were opposed to the ordinance in the final voting were Simon. Harris, Sumwalt. In favor of the repeal act were Lamb, Bond, Hendershott, Carlson and Fleed. Rex Underwood Speaks to Crowd At Music Concert Conductor Declares Need For Instruments Rex Underwood, conductor of the Eugene Junior Symphony or chestra, which played in concert Sunday afternoon at the music building, made a radical departure from the practice usually obsa-ved at concerts and spoke to the audi ence twice during the program. Before the concert commenced, because the Eugene Junior Sym phony has only been organized for three months, he explained the general plan of symphonic con struction. He pointed out, among other things, the various choirs, brass, reed, and string which make up the orchestra and explained that these groups either alone, or in combination, build up the entire effect of a symphonic number. Underwood outlined the history of the organization of the sym phony, and made an appeal to the sponsors of the orchestra and their friends to help build up a fund to buy much-needed instruments. For this reason, he said, it had been necessary to augment at several stragetic positions in the orchestra, with players from the University. He appealed strongly to the people of Eugene to supply the needed instruments that they might be (Please turn to page 4) Emerald Has New Business Service An entirely new department specifically designed to produce a high quality of advertising and show the benefits of such adver tising ha3 been added to the busi ness department of the Emerald.
