May Change Relief Bill WASHINGTON—Led by Carter Glass, senate appropriations com mittee Democrats today agreed to remove sections of the $4,880,000 work relief bill which would give President Roosevelt power never before possessed by a peace time executive. Before any actual change in, the bill takes place, however, the full committee must ratify it. I Two sections of the bill were scheduled for elimination. If they go, out goes the power for the president to change emergency government agencies as he sees fit and to acquire real property by right of eminent domain. Stale NRA Bill Passed SALEM — Coupled with intro duction of nearly 50 new bills to day the Oregon legislature moved toward linking the state closer with the federal works administration through two channels—passage by the house of the state NRA code and receipt of the 15-point pro gram from Washington which was submitted by special message from Governor Charles H. Martin. In addition to the message on the federal suggestions the gover nor presented two other special messages, one to continue recon structions on world war veterans' * state aid commission loans, and the other on calling for a survey of the Willamette vast valley to open more lands for settlement through irrigation and drainage projects. Secretaries Differ WASHINGTON Differences between Secretaries Perkins and Morgenthau—which were carried to the White House in an attempt at a compromise—were disclosed today when the latter asked con gress to make important changes in the administration’s social se curity bill. The amicable intra-cabinet de bate revolved around one of the recommendations which Morgen thau made to the house ways and means committee without Miss Perkins’ endorsement—that up wards of 8,000,000 farmers, domes tic servants and “casuals" or tran sients should be exempted from contributory old age pensions. Doumergue Asks Peace PARIS — The voice of France’s beloved former president and pre mier, venerable “Papa" Dou mergue, echoed from political re tirement today to bespeak peace for tomorrow, first anniversary of the bloody riots of February 6, 1934. To the pleadings of Premier Pi erre-Etienne Flandin, his succes sor in the office, Doumergue added that warning that “civil war to morrow would mean foreign war almost immediately.” His statement came as the gov ernment mustered its every police force to restrain leftists and right ists, communists and royalists, war veterans, and kinsmen of the 1934 (Please turn to page 4.)

Great Britian Hits German W ar Attitude Hitlerites Face Isolation Upon Refusal of New Peace Proposals Der Fuehrer Still Says No To Anglo-French Pact LONDON, Feb. 5. — (AP) — Great Britain told the world today that Germany's refusal to enter the new Anglo-French peace framework will mean her isolation by defensive air alliances. The alternative facing the Reichsfueher — the most critical test his spectacular foreign policies have faced since he and his Nazis came to power two years ago has been communicated to all the world's interested powers, among them the United States. Proposals Drafted If Hitler says “yes” to the Ang lo-French proposals drafted at the weekend conversations of French and British premiers and foreign ministers, he will: 1. Join France, Britain, Belgium, and Italy in defensive air pacts requiring all signators to lend im mediate assistance if one of them is attacked by another from the air. Must Enter Pact 2. Enter the proposed Central European non - interference pact drafted at Italo-French conversa (Please turn to pape 3) Hofmann Claims Studying Abroad Is Not Necessary Is it necessary for the American student to go abroad to complete his education? Emphatically not declares Josef Hofmann, the great pianist who is to give a recital here next Sunday at 3 o’clock un der the auspices of the ASUO at McArthur court. On the contrary, Hofmann as serts, America has become the mu sical center that Europe once was, “and I think it is time the Ameri can public should realize it.” “Recently a young lady told mo that she was going abroad to study piano,” said Hofmann in an inter view. " Where?’ I asked. “ ‘To Berlin,’ she replied. “‘And with whom?’ “ ‘I don’t know yet,” was the as tounding answer. “Now if she had said she wanted to study with Egon Petri, Arthur Schnabel or Professor Meyer Mahr, there would have been some rea son. But simply to study ‘abroad’ —that is absurd. “Yet this girl's attitude indicates a certain surviving feeling in this country that we must still turn to the old world for the best in the arts. Thirty-five years ago that may have been justified. Today it is all wrong. “Now the great musicians are here, and Europeans have to come to this country to study with mas ters of their art. Why, just the other day I was informed that the i son of one of the greatest Italian composers was coming to study in I this country.” The Winner Alabama triumphed in love as well as in football when its war riors went went to humble Stan ford and so Virginia Keid, above, ‘most beautiful profile” film act res, will wed Dr. R.

Travis The University student body band, under direction of John H. Stehn, has plunged into a heavy program of rehearsal in anticipa tion of their coming program in McArthur court Sunday, February 17, at 3 p. m. Cyril Botts, senior music stu dent, is to present an outstanding French horn concerto, accompanied by a selected group of musicians from the band. Botts is one of the very few student musicians who has even come close to attaining what is known as “talent" on the French horn, one of the most diffi cult instruments in the brass choir. He is to present as his solo “Con certo No. 2” by Mozart, a number which calls for the utmost ability and requires utilization of the in strument’s complete range. “Concertino” (Op. 26), by Weber, one of the outstanding popular i° especially arranged for clarinets. This number has a delicacy and pleasing theme which has made it clarinet numbers. This, too, is to be presented by a selected group of players. The entire program as tentative ly scheduled is one which combine the heights of musical excellence, with an appeal to the popular taste which could scarcely be im proved: Florentiner March . . Julius Funik Second Hungarian Rhapsody.... . Franz Liszt Bohemian Girl (overture) . . Balfe Irlandia Tone Poem . . George Drumm A Song of India (tentative).... . Rimsky-Korsakov ! Semper Fidelis .Sousa It is expected from results al ready observed in practice of these numbers, that the band concert will be one of the high-lights of the winter season and will be well worth hearing. Arrangements are being made which, if they are approved by the graduate manager's office, will make it possible for people within' range of radio station KORE to hear the program broadcast. The broadcast of the University sym phony Sunday was so successful that it is expected there will be a strong demand for further presen tations during the balance of the sconcert season.

English Royal Family Dinged As ^Parasites'" Laborite Hurls Epithet, Startles Members of House of Commons LONDON, Feb. 5.- (AP)—A startled house of commons tonight heard King George, his youngest son and his newest daughter-in law called “parasites.” J. McGovern, the same fiery labor member from Glasgow who set the house by its ears when he interrupted the king’s speech Nov ember 21, 1933, hurled the almost unprecedented epithet at the royal house during debate on the bill to reorganize the dole system. “We pay King George 10,750 pounds a week, and one shilling a minute to the Duke of Kent and his wife,” the left wing laborite declared. “These parasites are liv ing on the wealth of the country.” Government Accused Ruled out of order, McGovern replied: “I say these people are part of a parasitical class which is living on the common people of this country and with no effort of their own to provide the means of life they enjoy.” A parting shot, fired just before he subsided, was: “This government is a gang of national crooks.” Before he was called to order, (Please turn to page 4.) Digest Condenses Crosland’s Article “Science Gets the Confession,” a recent article in the Reader's Di gest condensed from an article in the Forum, tells of the work of Prof. H. R. Crosland, associate pro fessor of psychology, in the field of crime detection. The article has attracted the attention of many of Professor Crosland's friends, as his original work was published by the University in 1929. The article teils of Professor Crosland’s word association test in which a list of 200 words are pre pared and read to the suspects. The suspect is supposed to answer to each word with the first word which enters his mind. The normal reacting time is two and one-half seconds, and time is kept with a stop watch. Within the list are 20 words which are closely connected with the crime, the idea being that if the suspect is guilty his reaction will be slow or far-fetched. The effectiveness of the system has been proved by experiments with pre-arranged crimes. Yeomen to Plan Dance, Smoker Plans for a coming dance and smoker will be discussed by the Oregon Yeomen, unaffiliated men’s organization, at a meeting to be held tonight at 7:30 in the Y hut.

Scliauffler, Brodie Give Love, Marriage Talks Speeches Third in Year’s Series on Subject Stressing the fact that the pur pose of his talk on ‘‘The Biological Aspects of Love and Marriage" was not to tell the students what to do, but to correct many mis taken impressions on the subject, Dr. Goodrich C. Schauffler, a mem ber of the faculty of the University of Oregon medical school, ad dressed a gioup of men in Villard hall last night. The talk was the third in the series of love and marriage lectures and was in conjunction with a similar one for women only given by Jessie Laird Brodie in Gerlinger hall on the same subject.

Physical Exams Offered Seniors A free physical examination is being offered to all seniors by the University health service, states Dr. Fred N. Miller, University physician. Dr. Miller points out that such an examination is sometimes re quired with an application for em ployment, which makes it valuable aside from the fact that such an examination sometimes brings to light unsuspected physical difficul ty in time to prevent serious con sequences. All seniors who desire such an examination must report to the dis pensary this week either on Wed nesday between the hours of 8 and 12 and 1 to 5, or on Saturday from 8 to 12, or 1 to 2. Two days after taking the tuberculin test which will be given at these hours the person must report again to the in firmary for observation. For the completion of the examination the person will be given a definite ap pointment, but the tuberculin test which will be given only on the above dates must already have been taken. Durant Qualified to Interpert Trends of Modern Society No one is more competent to in terpret trends of modern civiliza tion, to form an estimate of the shape of things to come, to define current events in terms of the en tire historical perspective, than Will Durant, the world-renowned writer and lecturer, who is to give an address here next week in Mc Arthur court. Durant is said to be the only liv ing author who has made the philosophy of the ancient thinkers a subject of everyday discussion. He is one of the few living writers who is as proficient at entertain ing and interesting people with the spoken word as with the written word. Durant is said to be eminently qualified to tackle large, all-em bracing topics. In his lectures, as in his books, he treats with amaz ing thoroughness such tremendous subjects as civilization itself as well as the destiny of mankind. His increasing popularity is largely due to the fact that he is so pro ficient at dealing with these great topics of tfTe day. He deals with them in such terms that they are not only easy to understand, but entertaining and thought-provok ing. Popularizing knowledge has been the purpose of Durant’s career. He strips the lore of the greatest thinkers, and transposes it into everyday, understandable lan guage. He performs this without altering the philosophies of the past and present which is regarded as Durant’s crowning achievement. The most ambitious of his liter ary undertakings, a tremendous "History of Civilization,” upon which he has worked for years, is to appear shortly. It is regarded as significant that his address here is to coincide with the publicaiton of a book which may come to be re garded as a classic of our times. Durant will speak here on the subject of “A Program for Amer ica.” All student body members will be admitted free to the event.

Selection of particular tonics for the contest are made by the law school faculty members, who choose those most interesting to the Oregon Bar association. One of the recommendations contained in the report asks that district attorneys be granted the power to indict by filing informa tion as well as by the grand jury. It is believed that this would has ten the administration of criminal law and also safeguard the inter ests of defendants. Another rec ommends the elimination of all mandatory exemptions from jury service with the exception of those (Please tarn to paoe 3) Thacher Names Contest Judges Three judges, Prof. Leslie L. Lewis, Harold Ssv and Ethel Chase Christie have been appointed by Prof W. F. O Thacher for the Edi son Marshall short story contest which closes February 15.
