F.D. Halts Investigation
WASHINGTON—A direct re
quest by President Roosevelt to
day halted impatient senate in
vestigators as they sought to lean
why the Colt Arms company hac
not been pressed into compliance
with labor clauses of NRA.
The interference by the president
came just as the senate munition;
committee shaped plans for a for
mal demand on Donald R. Rich
L berg, chairman of the national re
covery board, to explain alleged
delay in snatching at once from
the famous gun factory its blue
eagle. This would have taken from
the firm its right to do business
with the government.
Chairman Nye (R-ND), declared
the president asked him by tele
phone this morning to withdraw
the committee’s request for Mr.
Richberg’s appearance. Mr. Roose
velt gave him assurance, Nye said,
that the Colt controversy would be
settled early next -week.
Revise NRA Measure
WASHINGTON — Working be
hind the scenes in an effort to
meet the monopoly charges thrown
against NRA by Senator Borah
(R-Ida), and others, senate admin
^ istration leaders started today to
revise the bill for extending the
blue eagle machine.
Senator Borah, called into con
ference by the administration
spokesmen, insisted upon three
major points. He demanded full
restoration of the anti-trust laws,
an affirmative prohibition against
price fixing, an a clear declaration
that the government is not seek
ing to interfere -with purely intra
state trade.
Those in charge of the legisla
tion conceded privately that the
administration measure introduced
recently by Chairman Harrison of
the senate finance committee
leaned more heavily toward price
fixing than does even the present
law. There was agreement that it
would do but little to restore the
anti-trust law's. Virtually a 11
agreed, too, that the measure
would have to be modified in both
respects to obtain congressional
approval.

to reopen the doors of the home

Aid in Demonstration
With colorful banners and fiery
speeches over 1000 University,
Northwest Christian college and
high school students gathered be
fore the steps of the old Oregon
library yesterday to make articu
j late their demand for a repudia
i tion of the “war method.’’
The whole protest meeting was
well organized and tinged with an
atmosphere of good humor that
would have labeled it a student
funfest had it not been for the
large and impressive signs and
banners that waved over the
crow'd. A fringe of hecklers was
on the job but nobody got excited
and the demonstratin proceeded in
an orderly manner.
Six student speakers forced
short, pithy messages over the
home-rigged public address sys
tem. The demonstration was
opened by Charles Paddock, who ^
read a bit of doggerel about
“kings in the background sending
out commands; queens in the par
lor as etiquette demands; bankers
in the counting houses busy multi
! plying; and the rest of us up at
J the front, doing all the dying.’’
Louise Clark Speaks
Louise Clark, University stu

the munition makers?” She de
nounced their activities as a
“racket” and a war breeder
Ed Luckey, University high
school debater, decried propagan

j and super-patriots as dangerous to
i peace.
A high school student protesting
conscription into the ROTC when
he enters college was John Lu
vaas, Eugene high debater. If mil

it should be presented as war real

whistling shells.

Eugene’s precincts among students
last night. Letters were mailed to
the presidents of all Eugene Town
send clubs. Speakers will present
the optional fee cause at a mass

Allen is also making speaking
dates w'ith granges, and has sent
petitions to several chapters which

Hacks and Swats
Bring Old Times
Back to Violators
After a lapse of several years,
the crisp sound of paddles once
more resounded from the steps of
the library yesterday, marking the
beginning of the enforcement of
traditions on the Oregon campus.
“It seems like old times again,”
x ciiiax kcu siuuexiis wxxo vt iiLLU t'u
to the traditional hacking scene to
witness the breakers of customs
in their painful misery, yelping
under the fire of swats from men
of the Order of the ‘O’.
If you break traditions, you’d
better watch out! Why? Because
next week another list of names
will be published, asking for nu
merous students who disobey the
rules to appear on the steps of the
reference building to receive their
allotments of hacks.
Several whose names were pub
lished yesterday morning failed to
appear and the members of the
committee stated last night that
their names would be published
again next week and that if they
failed to appear at that time, they
would be pursued by he men and
given double doses of the “hazel
tea.”

! Organization of Guidance
This Morning's Topic
By Lucille Moore
With the official registration forj
Friday’s sessions totaling 322, on
even larger attendance is expected j
for today’s meetings of the state
wide educational guidance confer
ence of Oregon teachers and school,
executives being held on the Ore-^
gon campus at Villard hall.
“To help students, primarily
through improving their utiliza
tion of the training facilities of
the school, to attain a high level
of efficiency and satisfaction in
the appropriate activities to which
they will distribute themselves,’’
is the aim of the conference.
Following this idea. Dr. Grayson
N. Kefauver, dean of the school of
education at Stanford university,
yesterday told the group that
guidance gives the student only a
basis on which to plan his work,
but does not do the student’s plan
ning.
Kefauver to Lead
Today's morning session, at
9:00 a. m., will discuss organiza
tion of guidance service, with Dr.
Kefauver as chairman.
Following a noon luncheon at
the Eugene hotel the conference
will again convene in Villard hall
for the ^losing meeting of the
day. S. E. Fleming, assistant sup
erintendent of schools of Seattle,
will lead the discussion panel on
the installation and operation of
guidance service.
Friday's speakers included Dr.
Kefauver, Dr. John E. Corbaily,
professor of education at Univer
sity of Washington, and Dr.
Francis F. Powers, professor of
education at the University of
Washington, who delivered the
banquet address.
University Is Sponsor
The two day conference has the
University of Oregon school of
education and the local chapter of
Phi Delta Kappa, national educa
tion honorary as sponsors. Wendell
Van Loan, who is president of Phi
Delta Kappa and principal of
Roosevelt junior high, acted as
chairman of the planning com
mittee, assisted by C. H. Beard,
principal of Roseburg high; Dr.
R. W. Leighton and Dr. Nelson L.
Bossing, of the University school
of education.
Science Students
