Day’s News
By the Associated Press
—~ FEBRUARY 10 ■--:
Defense Budget Huge
WASHINGTON — By far tht
largest budget for national defenst
since 1921 was foreshadowed to
day with the house debut of a wai
department appropriation bill car
rying $318,131,482 for military ac
tivities alone.
The navy bill is yet to be report
ed to the measure, but members
of the appropriations committee
,said the 1936 fixture for the mili
tary service would exceed by ap
proximately $100,000,000 any de
fense fund since the Washington
naval conference.
The navy bill, it was said, will
be around $477,000,000 and the ser
vices are scheduled to get an addi
tional $40,000,000 from public
works funds.
Train Measure Fails
SALEM — Again the Oregon
legislature defeated the 70-car
train bill, this time even more de
cisively than in 1931, the last time
it appeared. The measure was
killed on an adverse committee re
port by a vote of 39 to 19 in the
house. It did not get to the senate.
In 1931 the measure passed the
senate by a vote of 16 to 14 but
was reconsidered and defeated
without getting to the house. Prior
to that time that or similar bills
had appeared three times and had
failed.
The measure, proposed by rail
road brotherhoods as a safety mea
sure, would have limited length of
freight trains to 70 cars and pas
senger trains to 14. It was debat
ed for several hours before roll call
was demanded after proponents
had argued it as a “new deal’’ piece
of legislation.
Labor Fights Richberg
WASHINGTON—Labor bitterly
condemned today Donald Rich
berg's newly pronounced recom
mendation that future NRA code
authorities be non-partisan.
In sharply critical testimony, I.
M. Onburn, an American Federa
tion of Labor executive, told the
house labor committee that unequal
labor representation in NRA and
on code authorities was largely re
sponsible for failure of the recov
ery administration to attain its ma
jor objective of reemploying work
ers.
Two Men Face Death
BERLIN (Wednesday) — Two
men, one a former naval techni
cian, caught in the ever tightening
Reichswehr espionage net, are
marked to follow the two women
spies who 'lost their heads yester
day on the block at Ploetzense pri
son, it was learned today.
Now knowing definitely the fate
awaiting them, the two men were
spending their last hours before
decapitation in cells near those oc
cupied by Benita Von Falkenhayn)
and Renate Von Natzmer, who died
silently and without a show of
emotion.
Wiley Tells of Repairs
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Work of
strengthening girders of the ill
fated dirigible Macon was being
carried on so as not to interfere
with flight operations, Lieut. Com- j
mander Herbert V. Wiley told a
naval board of inquiry here today,
and was not pushed more rapidly
because officers “did not consider
it important enough.’’
The commander of the airship
which crashed in the Pacific off
Point Sur a week ago said neither
officers nor men protested about
making flights while repair work
was in progress, and that it was
intended to have the work com
pleted before the craft was due for
an overhaul next month.
Study Gold Legislation
WASHINGTON — Legislation

case victory and end continuing
doubts on the status of federal
bonds was studied tonight by ad

Goodwin Wins
Jewett Prize
For Best Talk
Hall Takes Second Place
In Extempore Speech
Competition
Winner Will Represent UO
In State Contest
Orton Goodwin, speaking on the
economic basis of America's Chi
nese policy, took first place last
night in the W. F. Jewett extem
pore speaking contest held in
Friendly hall. William Hall won
the second place with his extem
pore speech on Chinese friendship
for America. The students drew
their speech topics an hour before
giving their talks.
The speaker's understanding of
his material, clarity of organiza
tion, directness in presentation
formed the basis for judging the
contestants. John L. Casteel, di
rector of speech, and H. J. Noble,
associate professor of history, act
ed as judges.
State Contest Later
Orton Goodwin, the winner of
this second of the series of Jew
ett contests this year, will repre
sent the University in the state ex
tempore speech contest which will
be held later this term.
The first prize of $25 and the
second prize of $10 were made
possibly by the W. F. Jewett fund
established by Mrs. Mary H. Jew
ett in honor of the late Wilson F.
Jewett.
Other participants in the contest
last night were William Lubersky
speaking on America’s naval pol
icy in the Pacific and Dan Clark,
Jr., who spoke on America’s stake
in Manchuria.
Cigar Passing,
Baby Osculation
Time Coming Up
A possible three-way split in the
campus political lineup is rumored
by sources close to the very mys
terious personages who control
such things.
Upon a little reflection, such
opening maneuvers towards any
thing definite on the political hori
zon are only as a pilot car to the
presidential gravy train. Much
knifing and bickering back and
forth before anyone is definitely
out in front with an honest t’
goodness ticket ’n everything.
Also running true to form ru
mors have left the closed circles of
the organized independents that
this year an independent man will
head the student body. Mathemat
ically speaking it would behoove
the “old line” politicos to limit
their promoting to two tickets. An
independent victory would be made
so much easier by more than that
number of groups of stooges.
Although nothing definite will
be admitted at this early date, the
rumblings in the campus firma
ment indicate that the season of
torchlight parades, banners and
campaign promises is "just around
the corner.”

Roland Hayes Will
Present Concert
On February 28
—
Negro Tenor Is Greatest in
Field for Ten Years
Ten years of absolute supremacy
in his field is the record established
by Roland Hayes, distinguished
negro tenor, who comes here on
Thursday, February 28, for a con
cert in McArthur court under the
sponsorship of the associated stu
dents. It was a little over ten years
ago that Roland Hayes first ap
peared in New York’s town hall to
try his ability as an artist before
one of America’s most blase audi
ences.
Upon that occasion Hayes had no
formidable American reputation to
back him up, notwithstanding the
fact that all Europe had already
acclaimed him as one of the great
est singers of the age. New York
had heard much-heralded negro
singers before, had listened to
them politely, had been more or
less unmoved and had forgotten
them with singular alacrity. What
that town hall audience expected
was a clever exhibition of vocal
gymnastics, wasted on uncouth
negro spirituals. What it got was
a surprise.
This town hall recital brought
Hayes nation-wide fame almost
overnight. It is still looked upon
as a milestone, not merely in the
career of a gifted singer, but in the
history of American music. Few
native artists, regardless of race,
have succeeded in establishing
themselves as firmly with their
fellow Americans as has this son
of former plantation slaves.
It is generally recognized that
Hayes is a vastly greater artist
today than he was when he first
sang in town hal.l Fie is an ex
tremely hard worker, and every
year adds dozens of songs to his
already formidable repertoire. The
timbre of his voice has deepened
as the years have passed, and his
interpretive powers have been
enormously increased.
Graduates Enjoy
Retailing at N.Y.U.
Four former University students,
Holly Seavey, Donald McLennan,

Each of the students work part
time in retail shops in New York.
Miss Seavey is working in Gimbel
Brothers department store; Mr.
McLennan is working at the Stern
Brothers store; Mr. Brown is work
ing for Losser’s, and Mr. Silcher is

60 Students May
Enter UO Medical
School Each Year
College Record Is Basis of
Selection, Says Myers
Any University of Oregon pre
medical student who has better
than average grades may gain ad
mittance to the University of Ore
gon medical school in Portland,
Dr. Harold B. Myers, assistant
dean, explained yesterday to an
audience of nearly 100 persons
gathered in McClure hall.
The number of students who are
allowed to enter each year is lim
ited to 60, as this is the number
which the school can handle most
conveniently and from this number
enough are graduated to supply
the demand for doctors in the state
of Oregon. These students are se
lected on the basis of their college
record, their score in the medical
aptitude test which must be taken
before the student may be con
sidered, and from their personal
conference with Dean Myers.
Medical education or the train
ing of doctors has made great
progress in modern times. At one
time to become a practicer of med
icine, the ambitious one entered a
doctor’s office and “read” medi
cine. One year of college training
was then required for the pre
medical student to complete before
entering medical school, while at
present nearly all schools require
three years of pre-medical train
ing.
Deadline of Story
Contest Extended
Deadline for the Edison Marshall
short story contest has been ex
tended until February 28, giving
students who have not finished
their stories ample time to submil
their manuscripts.
Professor W. F. G. Thacher, in
charge of the contest, said yester
day, "A few manuscripts have been
received, but I do not think it ad
visable to refuse further opportun
ity to writers whom I know will
submit entries to the contest.”
Manuscripts for the contest must
be in by the final deadline. Those
entered later will not be eligible
for competition. Two copies of the
story must be submitted, one of
which is a carbon copy. The name
of the author is not to appear on
the story but should be inserted in
an envelope to accompany the
story. The name of the story
should appear on the envelope.
Judges for the contest an
nounced a few weeks ago are Har
old Say, Professor Leslie L. Lewis,
and Ethel Chase Christie,

Eastern metropolitan press book i
reviewers have praised the literary
value of this book. Said the New

‘The little book is well worth read
ing for its point of view. . . . His
praise is sincere and cordial and his |
pointing out of faults is so open;
and plain spoken that sometimes it ;
becomes like a parental scolding. I
But it is always good natured and
so evidently issues from a real
grief that we are not better than
we are, that even the hundred per
center cannot fail to be impressed.”

WorldTreads
Road to War
Japanese Imperialistic
Policy Threatens
Future Peace
Speaker Tells of Western
Retreat From East
The world has once more been
forced to tread the path leading
i toward, conflict lamented No-Yong
Park, diminuitive Chinese scholar
and philosopher who addressed stu
: dents and faculty Tuesday in Ger
linger hall. At the time of the
Japanese invasion of Manchuria
the West adopted a “barking di
plomacy without the intention of
biting," Park said.
Japan has embarked upon an im
perialistic program. Park surmises
that she will not stop without con
quering the world, unless she is
stopped by something other than
“barking diplomacy.” Other
“clowns” such as Napoleon em
barked on imperialistic careers
with the same idea.
West Safeguards Peace
In Japan today liberalism has
"not a Chinaman’s chance,” Park
said. He looks at the world im
partially, taking what he calls a
"chop-suey” view of things. The
West must uphold the sacred peace
treaties of the world, and it must
be done with something besides the
present retreating policy. Park ex
plained that his speech was a pre
view of a new book which he is
writing called the “Retreat of the
West.” “So that when the book
comes out you don't have to bother
about it at all. It will save you
much trouble,” he said.
If Japan continues her program
a fight would seem essential. The
Chinese gentleman said, however,
“If you have to fight I don’t sup
pose you will fight yourselves. You
might persuade the Russians to
fight—for their own good.”
Open-Door Is Fiction
"The open-door at its best is
fiction and an illusion,” Park
stated. "You have dicided to liqui
date your territories in the far
East.”
But Russia is building railroads
and airports, and though she
claims they are for self defense,
Park feels certain that in case of
Japanese invasion, Russia would
not give them up without a fight.

In Marriage
Paramount Factors for
Successful Mating Is
Speaker’s Theme
Need for Understanding in
Love Shown
Sincere approaches to marriage
and paramount factors in the suc
cess of marriages were presented
to students in the final speech of
the love and marriage lectures last
evening by Mrs. Richard F.
Scholz, dean of women at Reed
college.
“Marriage,” said Mrs. Scholz, “is
the great human institution. It is
vital, interesting', enjoyable and
tenacious. It developed when it ap
peared necessary in tribal life for
a man to be responsible for the
safeguarding of a woman and her
children.
“In the last 5000 years the factor
of happiness has crept into marri
age. The demands for happiness
and intangible success makes it
necessary for the couples entering
marriage to understand certain
elementary factors that ultimately
make a marriage complete and
satisfactory, a thing worth wait
ing for.”
As a primary requirement for
marriage Dean Scholz urged train
ing for marriage, a knowledge of
all the aspects and elements of
married life, a complete under
standing of love. Good health was
another factor stressed for com
patibility and happiness of a
couple.
A clossal problem that must be
surmounted by a couple, said Dean
Scholz, is that of the living wage.
In the present time of economic
instability nothing constructive is
created for the future of youth.
Tribal custom of past generations
provided for youth much more
capably than the system of today,
whereby youth is educated and
thrust into a society where posi
tions are all filled and no openings
are available. A better ordered
society must be developed soon for
nature develops youth into matur
ity, to the time when he is ready
for marriage and yet cannot be
cause of dearth of monetary
sources. When the capacity to do is
really present in youth there are
no opportunities given him.
Closely linked with the living
wage problem was that of equit
able handling of money. A wife,
once considered an asset to a man,
is often a financial liability now.
Plans and budgets must be made
and understood by both parties.
