FEBRUARY 22 ■ Simon Tour Planned LONDON — A tour of eastern Europe’s capitals was envisage 1 this evening for Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, after Great Britain opened direct nego tiations with Russia, Germany, and Italy in furtherance of her secur ity scheme. These negotiations, it was offic ^ ially admitted, are to determine whether the visit of the British statesman to Berlin, Moscow, and Possibly Warsaw would be useful. Accompanying Simon in his pro jected crusade for the inclusive se curity plan drafted at Anglo French conversations here early this month will be Capt. Anthony Eden, lord privy seal and disarma ment expert, it was indicated. Democrats May Revolt WASHINGTON — Somenew house Democrats, dissatisfied with their progress so far this congress and talking volubly of “revolt” dis closed today that they were con sidering organizing a “rump” party caucus to advance their cause. Proponents of the idea declined to let their names be used or even to elaborate their plans for fear y old-time leaders would minimize the effectiveness of the move. They did talk at length—private ly—about what was behind their tentative proposal. Jobs and bills headed the list. Hitler’s Influence Felt GENEVA — Adolf Hitler, absent in the flesh, was present in spirit tonight as representatives of the world’s powers strove to devise an agreement to control the arms traffic. Germany and the pending nego tiations with her for an inclusive European security plan are shap ing the course of the arms traffic conference, Geneva experts said, and Britain is treading cautiously lest action here ruin her chances of getting the Reich into the secur ity plan. Particularly apprehensive are the British, these sources said, at Franco - Russian pressure for r strengthening tire American draft plan so as to provide supervision even of “war potential,” the indus trial capacity of the great nations Japanese Suspicious TOKYO — The grounding of an American tanker near the great fortresses of Tokyo bay today led to Japanese naval action to deter mine whether the crew deliberate ly beached the vessel to photograph defenses.

Speaking at the meeting of the committee of one hundred, the di rector of the national emergency council, said: “We still need laws to prevent the development of monopolies and those restraints of trade that place barriers across the highways of commerce and enrich the few through the impoverishment of the many. “But we also need other laws under which trade and industrial associations can be organized and can carry out, under public super vision, carefully devised programs for the production and distribution of the largest possible amount of the goods and services so as to pro vide the greatest possible material comfort and security for the larg est number of the American peo ple.” Campus Calendar University of Oregon Hunt club will meet at the College Side at 1 o’clock today.

House Group Reconsiders Tax Proposal Ways, Means Committee Assured of Martin’s Concordance Chancellor Kerr Presents Facts and Figures The proposal providing for the di version of millage taxes amounting to $75,000 from the higher educa tion fund to the general state tax fund was again returned to the house ways and means committee yesterday, by Governor Charles H. Martin, with the announcement that he would agree with any fur ther action of that committee. Thursday and yesterday the com mittee listened to facts and figures given by Chancellor W. J. Kerr who went to Salem Thursday to provide information to aid the com mittee in making a decision on the proposal. Changes Former Bill Two years ago a bill was passed diverting $508,000 from the higher education fund to the general tax fund. Early this week a proposal was made to lower the diversion to $75,000 and the next day certain factions advanced the proposal to continue the diversion of the full $508,000. After a conference be tween the chancellor and the ways and means committee, D. O. Hood, budget director, stated that he thoroughly understood the situa tion regarding the education mill age fund and would present it to the governor in that light. Would Close KOAC The governor stated that if the additional proportions of the $75, 000 proposal, radio station KOAC at Corvallis will have to be dis continued, Kerr told the committee yesterday. In case the entire $508,000 is di verted, the normal schools at Mon mouth, La Grande, and Ashland would be forced to close their doors advocates of the lower amount claim. A meeting of the ways and means committee was to have been held later last night to consider further action on the proposal. Parsons Attends PWA Conference At a meeting of the state plan ning board at Portland Tuesday morning which Dr. Philip A. Par sons, professor of sociology, will attend, plans will be considered for the PWA program in Oregon. The 10-year program for the develop ment of Oregon’s natural resourc es will be carried through in col laboration with the PWA. Among the projects to be under taken by the state planning board is a survey of government admin istration in Oregon, including state, county, and municipal government This will necessitate the creation of an interim committee of the legislature to work with the plan ning board. Research facilities of the bureau of social research will also be utilized. Special Adviser Heading the special advisory committee to assist President Roosevelt in allocating the $4,000, 000,000 work-relife fund will be Gen. Robert E. Wood, above, presi dent of Sears, Roebuck and Co. Wood, who will serve without pay, has been a member of the business advisory council set up by Daniel C. Roper, secretary of commerce. Hayes Masters Four Languages In Vocal Concerts Four different languages—Eng lish, French, German, and Italian —will figure in the program to be given in McArthur court here next Thursday evening by Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, who is said t be the greatest interpretative artist of the colored peoples. That Hayes, in addition to cul tivating his extraordinarily beauti ful voice to a point approaching perfection, could have at the same time acquired complete mastery of three languages in addition to his native English, is regarded as little short of miraculous by critics. While the finest singers must of necessity be good linguists, these singers ordinarily learn languages by living for periods of time in other countries. Hayes learned French, German and Italian in Boston, and he slaved in hotels and restaurants so he could continue his vocal and linguistic studies. Hayes’ rise from the obscure son of ex-slaves to the status of a fin ished concert artist is said to out strip the pure fiction of a Horatio Alger tale. Hayes can sing the German lyrics of a Brahms song with the perfect intonation, enunciation and phrasing of the most accomplished lieder singer. Equally proficient is he in singing in French, Italian and Spanish. Among all the world’s multi-lingual singers, however, Hayes is unique in his command of the southern negro 'dialect, the argot of the negro spiritual. STUDENTS RACE ‘PRAMS’ Fraternities at the University of California held a baby buggy char iot race during the weekend. Five teams were entered and a prize was given for the best dressed teams.

Singers, Novelty Dancers To Entertain at Phi Beta Affair “Who’ll buy my va-hi-olets?” is the cry that will come from the al luring lips of Virginia (Flower Girl) Mikulak, as she wends her j, way gaily among the tables of merrymakers at the Phi Beta sup per dance this evening as one of the singing waitresses, alias vivacious vendors, who will tread, though ever so lightly, on the hearts of the diners and dancers. The “Selling Songsters’’ have been chosen from among all the women of the campus no less be cause of their pulchritude than for their well known winning wiles. Registered incognito, a Spanish , gypsy of royal blood, whose sing ' ing has brought storms of applause from throngs in the concert halls of Europe, has been “discovered” disguised as a campus co-ed. This ! beautiful maiden has been persuad ed to make her American debut at I the Osburn hotel tomorrow night. I She has promised to interpret one of her best-received numbers, La Cucaracha. Band Still Unselected Dancing between features will be to the strains of a popular rhythm band. Rumor has it that perhaps Ray Noble has been en gaged to appear but betting odds among the skeptics are 5 to 4 on Eddie Scroggins. Who is the collegian with soul so dead that he would not gladly pay the pittance for admittance just to see Dan Clark, Jr., premier dan ceur extraordinaire, fling his fly ing feet in time with those of Elea nor Fitch, as this remarkable dance team executes the intricate steps of the latest ballroom flour ish ? The entertainment bill of fare which has been arranged is so rich, in fact, that a special corps of doctors will be on hand to at tend to those who show symptoms of indigestion of the appreciation.

Miner Building Is Saved From Tax By State Senate Indefinite Postponement Kills House Bill The house bill placing the Miner building on the state tax rolls was killed yesterday in the senate of the state legislature by indefinite postponment of any action on it. The bill, drafted by Representa tive C. F. Hyde, Democrat from Lane county, had difficulty in pass ing the house, it being necessary to alter it twice to eliminate several objectionable sections. Bill too Universal The principal reason the senate rejected the propsed law was that was too universal in scope. Foes of the bill maintained that even grange halls would be included in the provisions of the document. The original purpose of the pro posal was to place the Miner build ing on the tax rolls but every at temps to pass it resulted in a vain attempt to draft the measure so it would apply only to the Miner building. Saves $7000 Yearly Officials of Lane county said that approximately $7,000 would be derived in taxes each year from the building. Opponents of the bill maintain that nobody would save any money by putting the building on the tax list because the state itself would have to pay the bill from the higher education fund. The state board of higher education would then be in need of that much more financing to conduct its duties, so in the long run, the tax payers would pay the bill anyway. Phi Delta Kappa To Hear Moore Phi Delta Kappa, educational honorary for men, will have as its guest speaker, R. U.

Sher iff in turning the play “Journey’s End,” into a novel. Council Remains Firm on Dry Zone In spite of a Vigorous battle to have the University beer ban or dinance repealed, it appeared evi dent yesterday that the city coun cil would stand by its previous de cisions to enforce the arid zone, when it meets next Monday night. A number of petitions have been in circulation in the city, as well as in outside districts, to determ ine the sentiment of the majority of the citizens of this territory re garding the question. Little change has been noted in the opinion of the councilmen, so it is thought that there will be an insufficient number of votes to pass the repeal amendment.

Moving Pictures, Slides Bring Crowd; Last Session Today Geyser Is Popular Indian Masks, Basketry Are Feature of Main Floor Display By Leroy Mattingly Between 500 and 700 people thronged to Condon hall yesterday to see the geology, geography, and anthropology exhibits. Estimates as to the exact number who came to view the displays varied, but with many grammar school child ren expected to take advantage of the three hour period from nine to twelve during which the “open house” will be continued today, a total of nearly a thousand visitors will probably have attended. The motion pictures of the Kil auea volcano and the commercial film “Grass,” which has been shown throughout the United States, proved the greatest draw ing cards, with standing room only available for the second showing yesterday evening. Erosion Table Shown Of the model displays, the ero sion table proved the most popular. Through the glass at the base of a minature slope the way in which a delta is built up may be seen. The size of the particles in the delta’s various layers are deter mined by the volume of water re leased at the head of the slope, the differences of the strata being clearly shown. Rivals for the second position in the interest of the visitors are the small natural diamonds from Bahia, Brazil along with the col lection of precious and semi-prec ious stones, the skeleton of the saber tooth tiger, and the minature (Please turn to page three) Frank Reinhart Talks on Selling Mr. Frank Reinhart, sales man ager of DeNeffe’s clothing store in Eugene, spoke at a meeting of Kappa Alpha Psi, men’s business fraternity held Thursday night in Gerlinger hall.
