WASHINGTON — An unexpec
ted warning that hundreds of mil
lions in new inheritance taxes may
be demanded by the administration
to finance cash bonus legislation
today was raised as a barrier to
veteran demands—clouding even
the future of the Harrison bond
redemption compromise.
Secretary Morgenthau, Presi
dent Roosevelt’s closest financial
4 confidant, personally delivered the
nevvr taxes bombshell to the senate
finance committee, blanketing in
to his statement all bonus bills
under consideration.
Immediately, however, Chair
man Harrison renewed to news
men his contention that the com
promise plan—with its offer to ex
change negotiable bonds for the
bonus certificates—would not re
quire new taxes.
Price of Sili'pr Risps
WASHINGTON — Expectation
of a quick boost in the treasury’s
silver price today was added to
swirls of speculation over possible
administration action to close the
weak spot left in the Roosevelt
monetary system by the supreme
court gold ruling.
Silver talk had its genesis in
mounting world quotations for the
white metal as they edged over
closer to the government's stand
ing offer for newly mined domestic
silver. One treasury official said
it was a logical deduction from
past actions that the price would
be boosted shortly, but all Secre
tary Morgenthau would say was
“Don't bet any money on what we
do.’’
Paraguayans Halted
BUENOS AIRES — A week of
bitter, bloody fighting- along the
120-mile Chaco front, in which
both Bolivia and Paraguay lost
heavily, tonight saw Paraguay’s
invasion of Bolivia temporarily
halted.
Hurling nine regiments number
ing 8,000 men into the Paraguayan
center. General Enrique Penaran
da, Bolivian commander, threat
ened the enemy’s communications
and forced evacuation of Chara
gua, important Santa Cruz prov
ince town which Paraguay cap
tured April 16.
Paraguay, admitting Charagua
had been abandoned for tactical
reasons, asserted its counter-offen

Barker Lauds
Friendliness
OfNipponese
Sense of Honor Excelled
By No Other Country,
Speaker Says
Noted Japanese Student to
Teach Here
The Japanese are more efficient,
friendly, and more hospitable than
any other people on the face of the
earth, once you gain their respect,
Burt Brown Barker, vice-president
of the University of Oregon, said
in an address yesterday morning
at 11 before several hundred stu
dents in Gerlinger hall. The speak
er recently extensively traveled in
Japan.
“There is no nation in the world
which has the sense of honor which
the Jarmnese have,” Mr. Barker
said. While in Japan the speaker
was the guest of honor at many
social events, including one in the
private home of one of the leading
citizens whom he had met in Ore
gon. He was greatly imnressed
with the ease with which the Jap
anese conduct their social duties
while entertaining, even though
they do differ greatly from those
of America.
Perry Method Bold
As the reason that the world at
large did not believe that the Jap
anese were a friendly people, Mr.
Barker advanced the opinion that
Commodore Perry was unnecessar
ily bold in his methods of estab
lishing trade relations. The peo
ple of Japan are very sensitive
and were insulted at the method
used by Perry when he landed at
a forbidden port with 300 officers
and armed negroes as his escort.
Although the Japanese highly re
sented this, they are nevertheless
thankful to the people of the Unit
ed States for opening the door of
their nation to the commerce of
the world.
In Japan the honor of the family
is so great the young man knows
if he does anything wrong it will
reflect upon every member of his
family, Mr. Barker said, express
ing a wish that the youth of Amer
ica would think more seriously of
this before committing an act for
which they would be sorry.
Japanese Cultured
The Japanese do not play con
tract bridge for recreation, but
they seek composure in their gar
dens and in books. A Japanese
garden is a reproduction of some
piece of nature which the owner
has learned to love. There are
more book stores in Tokyo than
in any other city. In the speaker’s
opinion, reflecting the profound in
terest and self satisfaction found
in reading by the people there.
While visiting in the island em
pire, Mr. Barker made the acquain
tance of Jiro Harada, one of Ja
pan’s foremost archeologists and
art scholars, who will come to the
campus next fall to study and to
instruct students in Japanese cul
ture. Mr. Harada chose the Uni
versity mainly because he is so in
terested in the Murray Warner
oriental art museum located on the
campus. The scholar is now in
Manchuria and will conduct ar
cheological research in China and
Korea before coming to the Uni
versity.
Premier of 'Small Miracle’
Stars Booth9 Baker, and Root
Guild Hall's amateur premier
of “Small Miracle,” recent Broad
way success classified by critics
as “excellent melodrama,” and
scheduled for presentation May 4
and 6 in the University theatre,
presents to the Eugene campus
three University juniors whose in
itial appearance it will be as lead
ing characters in a regular Guild
hall production.
“Small Miracle,” an exciting
drama of interwoven lives, has its
entire action in the lounge of a
Broadway theatre one night while
the performance, a musical com
edv, is on. Before the eyes of the
onlookers is untangled .through a
small, but thrilling miracle, the
mixed-up skein of ten lives in the
audience, including Sylvia Tem
ple, lovely society woman who
“chose theater lounges for her as
signations,” played by Portia
Booth: Helen, the young filing
clerk who comes to the theatre to
save the fellow, to whom she is
engaged, from a serious predica
ment which threatens his career,
played by Leone Baker: and Joe
Taft, a plain-clothes-man. who has
in his custody a convicted mur
derer who has been sentenced to
hang, played by George Root.
Miss Booth, who plays the role
of Sylvia Temple, made her first
University dramatic appearance as
Fern Arthur, chorus girl witness,
in the “Trial of Mary Dugan.”
Miss Booth who is a junior, is mi
noring in dramatics and was act
ive in dramatic work in Grant high
school in Portland before coming
to the University,
Leone Baker, as Helen, appears
for the first time in a Guild hall
production. Miss Baker entered
the University last fall as a jun
ior, having transferred from Mon
mouth where during the past two
years she appeared in and directed
many of the monthly one-act plays
and was president of Crimson ‘O’,
dramatic group. Both Miss Baker
and Miss Booth played the leading
parts in their high school class
plays.
This is also the first University
dramatic appearance of George
Root, junior in journalism, who
returned to the University fall
fall term after an absence of two
years. As Joe Taft, the ex-cop
and detective, Root portrays a
kind-hearted executor of the law
whose one generous gesture un
consciously promotes a “small mir
acle” and brings the play to a
thrilling climax.

Students Seeking;
Jobs for Summer
To Meet in Villard
Forest Service Program
May Include Students
Students seeking summer jobs
should come to Villard assembly at
7:15 this evening without fail
when Fred N. Miller of the Univer
sity health service will outline ten
tative plans for Forest Service
camps designed to give summer
work to students.
All plans are still indefinite,
says Dr. Miller, but if a large
number or boys turn out to the
meeting a n d sign application
blanks there is a good chance that
they will be granted forest jobs.
The plan, as Dr. Miller has dis
cussed it with Regional Forester
C. J. Buck and other officials, is
to set up camps of 50 or more
boys to do part of the work that
will go into the enlarged programs
of Uncle Sam’s forests this year.
Dr. Miller warns that such work
is not easy and that Forest Service
officials do not invite vacationers
to take these responsible jobs.
Students who are willing to work
to enable themselves to return to
school, however, can increase the
probability of this work being
granted by making application for
it.
Several hundred students are ex
pected to file applications for jobs,
Dr. Miller said, since unemploy
ment is more acute among stu
dents than any other class of
people. Every student wishing to
assure himself of a summer job
should be at the Villard meeting
tonight.
Labbe, Blais Debate Issues
Labbe Objections
It is necessary that I take two
important exceptions to your state
ment of policy as appeared in yes
terday's Emerald.
1. Your Support of the present
political system.
2. Your “plan” as embodied in
your desire to place an independent
student upon the executive council
of the associate students.
First, in your statement in Tues
day’s Emerald, you said that “the
condition portrayed in the slogan
(Take patronage out of politics)
does not exist in the minds of the
students of the University of Ore
gon.” I challenge you to reconcile
this attitude with the express edi
torial statement of the Oregon
Daily Emerald decrying the pres
ent system of "mob” politics and ,
issuing a demand for a construc
tive plan to eradicate the selfish,
out-moded, collusive spoils system.
Your statement yesterday seems
to place you in the position of
champion for the cause of such an
order—as a champion of the
spoils system.
Can you be sincere in contending
that in past elections the candi
dates for student body president
have been free of all alinements
brought about by the means of po
litical collusion ? I hardly think
that you can. It is well known, as
exemplified by the statement made
by the Emerald, that there is an
imperative need for severing the
roots of the campus bugaboo—-the
spoils method of conducting politi
cal campaigns.
Second, in your statement yes
terday, you advocated, as the prin
cipal point in your program, rep
resentation of the independent
groups on the executive council. I
fail to be able to view this plan in
any other light than a futile and
incomplete effort to secure the fa
(Please turn to page 3)
Blais Objections
Speaking for myself and ticket
we do not think selfish interests
and mob hysteria have swayed the
casting of ballots by Oregon stu
dents in years past. We think more
of Oregon students’ intelligence
than placing it on that basis. The
opposition refers to the appoint
ments of committee chairmen as
“plums.” We of the opposing ticket
consider these positions as student
offices to be filled by capable
people and not intimate friends of
the person making the appoint
ments. We have stood on thi3 lat
ter statement since the start of
the campaign.
We think that the votes to be
cast at the present coming election
should not hinge upon appoint
ment power of toe president but
on the tickets' merits and personal
qualifications. vVe state that in so
far as our ticket is concerned we
are not relying on political pat
ronage securing us votes.
We further state that the plan
offered by the opposition is no'
practical and is merely thn forma
tion of a new committee which
cannot be kept clear of political
influence because of the fact that
its membership will be in a large
measure made up of those people
whom the students on the execu
tive council desire to be seated.
A group places six people in of
fice in the ASUO and with the
former junior finance man retain
ing his vote in executive council as
the seventh vote we see that the
students elected have seven vots to
six for other members of the ex
ecutive council.
Consequently with non-faculty
interference of the other six votes
the executive council, student
members would select those whom
they desire to be seated on the
newly created appointment body,
so the same group that elected

Emerald
Both Men Are Sure
Principles, Issues Center
Of Polilieal Conflict
Launching into a vigorous last
minute scramble for votes, both
candidates for next year’s office
of associated student president
last night laid elaborate plans for
today's activities. Both tickets
prepared for the final appeal for
support among living groups on
the campus.
In answer to a request by the
"Emerald for objections and refu
tations of the opposition’s pro
gram, the two candidates last
night submitted to the paper the
statements appearing elsewhere in
the paper. This material is the last
that may be printed in the paper
on the views of the contestants,
in accordance with the time limi
tation placed on the publication
with regards to election proga
ganda.
These statements climax a move
on the part of the paper to place
before the student obdy the ideas
and opinions of the contestants
for next year’s offices. Both can
didates were requested to minimize
dealing in personalities and deal
with facts and proposals.
This year’s campaign has been
characterized b y attempts b y
both candidates toward offering
something constructive in the way
of a program. Edmond Labbe
first appeared with a plan entitled
"Patronage Out of Politics." This
plan appeared last Saturday.
James Blais followed yesterday
with his plan entitled "Hypocrisy
Out of Slogans.”
The campaign has this year,
more than in previous years, re
volved about principles and issues
rather than political procedure.
Labbe’s plan presents the principle
of broader representation in stu
dent activities through removing
from the hands of the president
the power of appointment. Blais’
plan stresses revision of the con
stitution and stresses the im
practicalibility of removing from
the hahds of the president the
power of appointment.
The race promises to be hot.

Voters to Decide
Constitution Fate
In Poll Test
Only Change in Revision
Concerns Independents
Adoption or rejection of the pro
posed revision of the constitution
of the associated students faces
tlie voters at the yearly election
tomorrow. Joseph Renner, ASTJO
president., said last night that all
hut a few of the changes made in
the constitution have been effec
tive previously, the whole thing
merely being simplified by incor
porating the various amendments
passed since the adoption of the
constitution.
The only change made is Article
X which provides for representa
tion of the independent men and
women on the executive council,
this being suggested to stimulate
the interest of independent stu
dents in campus affairs. The com
plete constitution, as it would read
if the proposal is passed, has been
printed in the Emerald for the
last two issues, in order to give
students a chance to compare it
with the former document. This
change will be voted upon separ
ately.
The proposed revision, which
will provide better working and
a more simplified form than the
old constitution, was prepared for
revision by Thomas Tongue’s re
vision committee to apply under
the compulsory fee set-up. Tongue
was student body president last
year. The other change made this
year was the provision to make
the laws workable under both
compulsory and optional fee plans.

Students Must Hold Both
Memberships to Vote
For Class Jobs
Decision Is Official
Admissions Used to Date
Will Be Deducted
In nn opinion of the judiciary
committee, printed on the editor
ial page, is the announcement
that students holding class mem
bership cards will not be allowed
to vote in the coming class elec
tions unless they also have an
ASUO card.
Joseph Renner, president of the
ASUO, said last night that all stu
dents not holding ASUO cards,
but holding class cards and want
ing the money for these class
cards refunded, may receive their
money if the cards are presented
at the associated students offices
at McArthur court. Money will be
refunded those students, who have
atetnded class functions where ad
mission was charged, and used the
class card as admittance to those
functions, but these students will
have to pay the admittance prices
of those functions.
The reason for this situation
was assigned to the fact that this
year’s class cards were printed
under the same conditions as ex
isted last year when membership
in the ASUO was compulsory.
This year under the optional plan
of ASUO membership, those stu
dents holding class cards but not
holding ASUO cards are prevented
from voting by the clause in the
constitution stating that both
membership cards were necessary.
The necessary alterations in the
tickets were not made.

Amos Burg to Show Movies
Of Voyage in South America
Amo.s Burg, Oregon’s own ex
plorer and adventurer who recent
ly returned fro ma daring trip in
a small boat to the tip of South
America, will tell the tale of his
voyage to students of the Univer
sity and others interested May 2
and 3 at the Colonial theater. The
appearance, which will include a
matinee and evening performance
each day, will be under the auspic
es of the associated students. AS
UO members will be admitted
free. Burg has just returned from
a tour of the East, where he made
five appearances. In Washington,
D. C., he presented his talk and
motion pictures for the National
Geographic society before a crowd
of 5,000 people in Constitution hall.
Writing after the Washington
apparance President Grosvenor of
the National Geographical society,
said: “It is a pleasure to tell you
how much we appreciated your
lecture entitled 'Voyaging Bucginn
Seas to Cape Horn.' The material
you collected in the territory at
the tip of South America, which
is visited only by the hardiest
travelers, is extraordinary. Your
motion pictures and lantern slides
are very beautiful and interest
ing."
Burg will present six reels of
pictures taken in this desolate, un
usual land, and will supplement
this with the projection of a num
ber of still pictures, the first ever
taken in that region in natural
color.
The explorer appeared here last
term with his pictures of a round
the-world trip, which were unusu
ally well received by a large num
ber of people. This appearance
differs from the first, however,
since it incorporates many thrill
ing scenes of dangerous adven
tures in the rough South Ameri
can seas.
