Relief Bill Deadlocked
WASHINGTON — Both under
cover and surface efforts to untar.
Carran prevailing wage amend
ment has thrown the $4,880,000,'
000 relief bill apparently ended it
failure today, and the measure re
mained as tightly deadlocked a:
for a week past.
1. An extremely cold shoulder was
turned by Democratic leaders to
ward a “concession” proposal b>
Senator McCarran (D-Nev). Wit!'
the approval of American Feder
ation of Labor chiefs, he suggested
an addition to his amendment tc
authorize the president to regulate
the hours men might work at the
prevailing wage. It would, he said,
prevent an increase in the cost of
1he program.
Czechs Jail Officials
PRAHA, Czechoslovakia — Cze
choslovakia clapped ten high of
ficials into jail today as investiga
tion of the arrest.of three Germans
last night led to the very doors of
an alleged espionage ring.
Three of those arrested were de
scribed as personages of the min
istry of War.
| Although authorities refused to
reveal the names of the officials
held, they indicated their belief
that an “espionage syndicate” ex
isted. The ten, together with the
three Germans, were said to be
spying for Austria and Hungary.
Senate Passes Land Bill
SALEM — After a battle which
lasted almost three hours the sen
ate of the Oregon legislature to
day passed the measure urged by
the federal department of agricul
ture for acquisition of privately
owned forest lands in the state to
place them in national reserves.
The vote was 21 to 9.
Opponents of the measure fought
the bill on the grounds the acquisi
tion of the timber lands would re
move them from the tax rolls.
Many counties were opposed to the
issue, but proponents argued no
sale or acquisition could be made
without the approval of the gover
nor and the forest conservation
commission created under the act.
British Ships Damaged
VALETA —- The British subma
rine Oxley, fire in her control
room, raced for Gibraltar tonight
as the British navy counted three
damaged ships as a result of man
euvers of its Mediterranean fleet.
In addition to the Oxley, the
destroyers Witch and Whished
were damaged in collision at sea
and returned to this port.
No casualties were reported in
either of the mishaps, the destroy
ers were only slightly damaged.

F. Fleischman, in a round the
world cruise have been but part of
the adventures of Amos Burg.

been around the world more than
a half dozen times, traveled in boto
the Arctic and the Anarctic cir

William W. Beebe in his explora
tions in the Galapagos, and cruised
in waters that are branded by sail
ors as the “hell spot of the seas.’
Back From Bottom of World
He recently returned from a
trip which took him to the south
ernmost tip of the world. Cruising
among the islands at the bottom
of South America Burg gathered
invaluable material among the
wild savages in that region for the
National Geographic.
Burg was the first man to ever
travel the length of the Columbia
river, from its source in the Can
adian mountains, out across the
bar into the Pacific in a canoe. He
has traveled the length of the Mo
Kensie river in Canada, crossed
the mountains into Alaska, and
canoed down the mighty Yukon in
his 17-foot bark.

Roland Hayes Closes Finest
Of Student Concert Series
Tenor Brings Enjoyment to
Large Audience
By Jay Raeffe
Bringing- to a close what is re
garded as one of the finest conctr
series that the associated students
of the University of Oregon have
ever presented, Roland Hayes,
tenor, found himself warmly greet
ed by one of the largest assem
blages to gather for a purely mu
sical occasion in McArthur court.
It is reported from authoritative
sources that six thousand persons
i met last evening to cordially ap
plaud, enjoy and to take away witn
them memories of the inimitable,
| stylistic and highly refined art of
Mr, Hayes and the equally artistic
support tendered by his accompan
ist, Percival Parham.
Handel Honored
Mr. Hayes opened his program
i
with Handel, commemorating that
composer’s one hundred and fif
tieth natal anniversary, numbers
by Karl Philip Emauel Bach round
ed out this classical group, the per
formance of which needs' no criti
cal comments. We have referred
tc the inimitable, stylistic art of
Mr. Hayes and by those phrases
we point specifically to that won
drous purity of tone quality and
flexibility of tone manipulation,
the even smoothness with which
the tone is spun out to build up
his phrases.
Caruso Story Cited
There is the story of Hayes’ in
spirational episode with a Caruso
record. We seriously doubt that
Caruso even in his younger, less
operatic years, ever sang with
such smoothness and perfect le
gato as Mr. Hayes has trained
himself to be capable of. Hayes

tention to support the planned en
forcement of Oregon traditions.
Earlier this week the inter-fra
ternity council publicly declared
that it was soldidly behind the
movement for enforcing old cus
toms on the campus. Thursday, the
associated women students, headed
by Catherine Coleman, pledged
their approval and support of the
revival of traditions during spring

Berg Is Optimistic
Bill Berg, chairman of the tradi
tions committee, announced yes
terday that it is expected that
other campus organizations will
lend their influence to bring about
enforcement of the laws.
Josephine Waffle, president of
the heads of houses, said last night
of the support of that group:
“Heads of houses, in voting to
back the traditions movement,
fairly well indicates the attitude of
all women in living organizations
on this question.
“We house presidents regret the
dying out of Oregon traditions
which were active when we entered
as freshmen. We plan to aid in
their revival by careful instruction
to women pledges and freshmen
who enter school next fall.’

Heart-Rending Scenes in the
Playhouse Delight Audience
The Very Little theatre wa3 a
playhouse in the Ne^r York of 1837
1857 last night, where the audience
hissed the villain, cheered the hero
and was “moved to tears,” by the
melerdrama, “The Streets of New
York,” under the direction of Art
C. Gray.
The tricky exits, super-climactic
curtain scenes, perfect timing of
the off-stage noises, and consistent
burleque (to the nth degree) mood
which carried throughout the en
tire play, and kept the audience
chuckling, with periodical roars of
laughter that “shook the house”
were indicative of a masterful piece
of direction.
The classical plot of a scurrilous
banker embezzling the entire for
tune of a sea captain, and leaving
his entire family in the most abject
poverty was the revival of Dion
Boucicault’s, “The Streets of New
York.” But virtue triumphs, and
the sea captain’s family and the
impoverished gentility of Brooklyn
Heights are rewarded in the end.
But Gideon Bloodgood, “the rat,"
is left alone to live a better life,
by the noble gesture of the noble
sea captain’s noble son.
Not the least of the evening’s en
tertainment were the entr’actes,
in the true music hall manner. A
trio, Mrs. Genevieve Tugman, Mrs.
Mazie Guistina, and Mrs. Mildred
Moore, opened the performance
with “New York Town,” and later
sang “On a Sunday Afternoon,”
with all the verve and charm of a
“Black Crook” chorus. Henry Cole
man “wowed” the spectators with
two solos, “The Bowery,” and a
side-splitting cockney tough’s ver
sion of "The rich gets all the gravy
and the poor gets all the blame.”
The acting honors go to Ed
Buchanan, as the villain who was

Staters to Meet Trojans
In Coast Title Tilt
Next Week
Fans Predict Battle
3 Oregon Players to Make
Final Appearance
The University of Oregon basket
ball crew, riding on the crest of
praise issuing from Northwest
cage fans as a result of its fine
showing against the Washington
Huskies, will dock the Duck hoop
ship at 7:30 tonight and end its
1935 cruise when it encounters the
Oregon State hoopmen at Mc
A.rthur court.
The game will mark the final ap
pearance of both teams in the
northern division maple race. The
Beavermen, however have one
more series on their slate, against
Ihe Southern California Trojans,
southern conference winners, next
week. Slats Gill’s combination won
the Northwest crown by beating
Idaho Tuesday night while their
xrch-rivals from Eugene were lend
ing a helping hand by pinning back
the ears of the runner-up Husky
men. Tonight's tilt will be the
first as champions.
Ducks Have Hopes
The Duck cagers’ recent brilliant
performances, coupled with the
fact that the Staters were barely
able to eke out a win over the
Reinhartmen in their last game, in
dicates that the Corvalils aggrega
tion wil have no easy time with
the Lemon-Green outift this eve
ning.
Although the clash is just anoth
er ball game as far as champion
ships are concerned, it promises to
be the most exciting of the year.
The Eeavers, who have won the
first three of the four-game series
by 4718, 33-31, and 34-27 scores,
will be striving to make it a clean
sweep. Oregon, in the other hand,
will do its best to avoid four suc
cessive trimmings and also to win
the distinction of being the first
five to defeat the champs.
Sum Dubbed “Rubinoff”
If play against the Huskies may
be regarded as any criterion, Sam
Liebowitz and Captain Bill Berg
will be the men for the Gillmen to
watch. “Liebo,” dubbed “Rubin
off” by Seattle fans, gave one of
the best performances seen in the
Puget sound city this season, and
won the admiration of even the
staunchest Washingtonians by ex
hibiting rare skill in passing,
shooting, and all-around floor work
and ball-handling. Sam is slated to
open in one of the guard berths.
Berg, who will be playing hi3
last game under the Lemon-Green
banner, helped lead Oregon to vic
tory over Washington by shoving
in two field goals at critical mom
ents of the contest and by steady
ing the less experienced Webfoots.
Berg will likely replace either
Johnny Lewis or Rollie Rourke in
the starting lineup. Completing the
first-string team will be Willis
Jones, high-scoring center, and
Glenn Sanford, close-checking
