F.D. Wants i\RA Extended
WASHINGTON — A call by
President Roosevelt' for a two
year extension of NRA. with a
tightening of its anti-trust provi
sions, today stirred in congress a
sentiment that promised action in
favor of the business “little fellow.”
In heavy majority, congression
al leaders praised that part of the
^ president's special message which
said, in effect, that additional
safeguards were needed against
monopolies.
Smith sailing in the xtension of
NRA was far from assured, how
ever. Hardly had the Roosevelt
message reached the capitol when
Senator Wagner (D-NY) asserted
he would reintroduce tomorrow his
labor disputes bill. The measure
as entered last year was aimed
pro and con under NRA. Still fur
ther dispute appeared possible un
der pending investigations into
NRA.
ff ar Continues in Chaco
BUENOS AIRES — Official si
lence at La Paz and Asuncion to
night cloaked the desperate battle
in the Chaco for possession of Vil
la Montes, Bolivian army base, and
^ some neutral observers here be
lieved the climax of the campaign
was developing 50 or 100 miles to
the north.
A series of Bolivian commun
iques during the past few days,
which announced several Para
guayan thrusts at Villa Montes’
defenses, bore witness to the bit
terness of the battle.
Because Villa Montes, situated on
the slopes of the Aguarague moun
tain range, stands guard over Bo
livia's rich oil fields, the outcome
of the campaign now raging around
it is regarded here as likely to
prove decisive in the three-year
old war.
Spies May Be Spared
BERLIN — Two more German
ppies doomed to death may be
spared the headman's axe, it was
indicated tonight.
Petitions asking clemency for
the two, both men, have been pre
sented to Adolf Hitler, it is under
stood, and favorable action was re
garded as likely because of the
sensation that greeted the execu
tion of Benita Von Falkenhayn and
Renate Von Natzmer, noblewomen
beheaded Monday.
Security Bill Changed
WASHINGTON — Significant
changes which some members said
might serve to offset claims of un
constitutionality were written to
day by the house ways and means
committee into the unemployment
insurance section of the social se
curity bill.
Still other changes were in sight.
Those agreed upon today were ac
cepted only after nearly two hours

Free of Charge at 4
This Afternoon
Wiesner and Martin Direct
Both Productions
Two studio plays, “The Herit
age" by Jack Stewart Knapp and
“Storm in a Washtub” translated
by Guy Werham, will be presented
this afternoon at 4 o’clock on the
Guild theater stage in Johnson hall.
There will be no admission charge.
“Storm in a Washtub,” a 14th
century medieval farce, handles
the well-known plot of the domi
neering wife and hen-pecked hus
band in an amusing way. Burdened
down with domestic tasks and
managed completely by his over
bearing spouse and whining moth
er-in-law, the meek little husband
finally gains the upper hand and
asserts himself. The cast includes
Betty Jeffers as the mother, Bill
Ireland as Jacquinot, the husband,
and Doris Holmes as the mother
in-law.
Big City Beckons
That he would be happier at
home on his parents’ farm is the
final conclusion that is made by
Jimmy, the chief character in “The
Heritage," after a number of con
flicting emotions had almost de
cided him in favor of abandoning
the country for the city. The
characters in the play are: A1 Glaz
ier as the elderly farmer, Tom Cole
as the tramp, Mary Webster as the
feminine romantic interest, Jea
nette Turner as the farmer’s wife,
and Donald Parks as the boy,
Jimmy.

Artists Conjure Up Ghastly
Revelers for Beaux Arts Ball
UNIVERSITY ART MAJORS
JUDGED TEMPORARILY IN -
SANE! Every newspaper on the
Pacific coast will bear these start
ling headlines next Saturday morn
ing. The cause? The annual Beaux
Art ball, which is being held at
Gerlinger hall Friady night. The
dance itself will be harmless
enough, but the decorations—
Sewer realism is the main theme
of the decorations. According to
artistic standards, the paintings on
the frieze which will run around
the walls in an excelelnt takeoff on
the late “super realism’’ trend in j
art. According to a normal opinion,
the artists (?) must have had
some pretty bad nightmares or
cases of indigestion the night be
fore.
Decorations Unusual
A wild conglomeration of colors,
fantastic shapes and figures, ser
pents, daethsheads, people rising
through the center of tables, and a
jumbled array of unintelligible il
lustrations compose the main dec
orations. So intricate are the
paintings that even the artists
themselves are at a loss to inter
pret their meanings.
As explained by noted authorities
on the subject, super realism goes
far beyond realism and plunges in
to the realm of the unconscious, the
fantastic, and even the delirious.
To artists following this trend,
everything has a mysterious and
special significance. A man goes
to a telephone and finds a lobster
in place of the receiver; a woman
is depicted with a baby carriage
for a head and snail feet, a piano
gushes blood—all of this is very
wonderful—it’s art.
After years of experiment,
change, and improvement the Uni
versity art department has at last
achieved its supreme triumph. Its
dance decorations tomorrow night j
will make history.

Hitler's a Diplomat
In the midst of their government bickering over Belgin’s final
acceptance of the Franco-British reciprocal peace treaty, Chancellor
Hitler and Francois Poncet (right), French ambassador, met under
informal circumstances at a banquet in the German capital. They are
shown in conversation so earnest that it seems like an impromptu
diplomatic conference.
Legislature Gets
Report to Divert
Fund for Learning
School Receipts Raised;
Quota Still Small
The joint ways and means com
mittee of the state legislature ac
cepted the sub-committee report
yesterday on the higher education
budget which would divert $75,
480.36 from the imillage tax for
the state institutions of higher
learning to the general fund.
If the report is accepted and
passed it will mean the higher ed
ucational schools of the state will,
although still getting $75,480.36
less than formerly, gain over re
ceipts of the last two years.
Tax I^und Diverted
Two years ago the legislature
voted a diversion of 508,000 from
the millage tax to the genera! fund,
so if the present recommendation
goes through the schools will gain
to the extent of approximately
$432,520 over the receipts of the
last two years, although still fall
ing behind the amount ordinarily
called for by law from the millage
tax.
Chinese Alumnus
Names Baby Boy
'Eugene Millrace’
If some American missionary in
a far off outpost in old Cathay
names his baby after the muddy,
yellow waters of the Yangtze river,
it’s news. But when a Chinese baby
in Kwongsi province is named af
ter some memorial spot on the Ore
gon campus, it’s more than news.
Unfortunately, it is a blight on
filial piety, the epitome of Chinese
ancestral worship, because pollut
ing Chinese names with “barbar
ian” nicknames is a taboo!
A letter received on the campus
from King Y. Chau, former Chin
ese special business student in the
University, brings this tiding of in
ternational news: his baby boy;
born about three months ago, has
been dubbed Eugene “Millrace”
Chau!
The wife, the former Pearl Tzo
of Canton also a graduate of the
Eugene Bible college, and the baby
are now residing with the proud
father, acting chief accountant to
the bureau of highway in Kwongsi
province, Nanning, China.

Hoover Acclaims
Gold Measure Act
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 20.—(AP)
Immediate resumption of gold
payments by the United States and
stabilization of the dollar at its
present value were advocated by
former President Herbert Hoover
in a statement here tonight com
menting on the supreme court's
gold case decision.
The former president said this
course would “put more men to
Work out of the 12.000,000 whc
still remain unemployed than any
other single action.”
Foreign nations, he said, “are
far more afraid of our doing just
this than they are of any Ameri
can ‘managed currency,’ at which
game they have us at a disadvant
age."

What Would Our Campus Be
Without Our Pets, Canines?
Ily Norris Stone
Does it annoy you to have a
professor's lecture disburbed by a
boisterous puppy who is only seek
ing human companionship that he
was unable to find in a campus
temporarily deserted and devoid of
students? Or does such a commo
tion upset you and cause you to lie
awake nights seeking a remedy for
such an intolerable situation?
If your answers for the questions
are in the negative, you, my friend,
have the soul of an artist and your
picture is destined to some day
grace the walls of the Hall of
Fame.
Negative Brings Ban
If your answers are in the af
firmative, you, sir, are a cad and a
bounder, a miserable puppet
prompted by the whisperings of
Satan.
Complaints have been received
that the dogs frequenting our cam
pus are "an irresponsible and vic
ious bunch of mongrels” that
should be disposed of as soon as
possible.
On the contrary, a more con
genial or friendlier group of ca
nines would be hard to find. Ask
ing nothing but a few scraps of
food a day and a word or two of
friendliness, they romp in and out
of classrooms, on the basketball
floor during a crucial moment of
the game, or, hiding under a seat
at a symphonic concert, moan dis
mally when the base viol hits an
unusually high note.
Dogs Give Picture
We admit that they are irre
jponsible. Without question most of
them are mongrels. But picture
our campus and how empty it
would seem without its Brunos, its
Barons, its Gyps or its Fidos, and
iorgive them their small faults, for,
after all, "A dog’s a dog for a'
that!"

churches and other groups in
Canada, Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Arizona and in other states.
Personality Studied
For over 25 years Dr. Ballard
has been a special student in the
field of psychology, in which his
academic degrees were taken. He
! is particularly interested in the
psychology of personality, and
from his studies will be drawn il
lustrations for his talk here.

of doctor of philosophy from New
York university, and his bachelor
of divinity from Union Theological
seminary, where he was an honor
