Day’s News
By the Associated Press
- MAY 2 —
Aflzt Air Force Strong
BERLIN - General Hermann
Wilhelm Goering, minister of air.
today warned Europe that Ger
many's air force "will always be as
strong as any outside combination,
for or against peace,” and dis
closed simultaneously that the
Reich’s military conscription would
start October 1. The air minister
said:
"Germany now has an aerial
weapon so powerful that whoever
attacks us will have an exceed
ingly difficult time in the air.”
In the first flat statement of
policy by a top-flight Nazi official
since the League of Nations coun
cil last month indicated Germany
for rearming in violation of the
Versailles treaty. General Goering
said the Reich would not return
to Geneva until the league apolo
gized for that action.
Britain Warns Europe
LONDON—Great Britain, plead
ing for an end to Europe’s head
long armaments race, today
warned neighboring nations she
means to keep her air force the
equal of any.
A ringing assertion by Winston
Churchill, fiery conservative, that
\ German air superiority already ex
ists featured the debate that fol
lowed upon Prime Minister Ram
sey MacDonald's announcement
that the government “already is
taking steps" toward expanding
British air strength.
Just what the expansion pro
gram involved Prime Minister Mac
Donald did not reveal, but informed
sources said earlier the govern
ment stood ready to spend $25,000,
000 in addition to the $105,000,000
already provided in this year’s air
estimates.
Revolt in Philippines
MANILA — (Friday) — Sixty
five persons were reported slain in
two battles growing- out of bitter
and widespread uprisings in the
provinces today against the pro
jected new commonwealth govern
mental system.
The suddenness and extent of the
insurgent movement stunned high
authorities.
Captain Jose Guido of the con
stabulary intelligence reported to
the Governor General’s office that
the situation was “very grave.” He
suggested that Acting Governor
General Joseph R. Hayden dash
back to Manila at once by airplane
from a mountain province where
he was on an inspection tour.
War Accord Signed
PARIS — The diplomats of
France and Russia tonight signed
a pact designed to send the sol
diers of either nation on the march
in defense of the other under cer
tain circumstances.
The long-talked-of Franco-Rus
sian accord, described by some as
a virtual military alliance of pre
war vintage, was signed by For
eign Minister Pierre Laval and
Ambassador Vladimir Potemkin of
I Soviet Russia.
The French insist it is not a mil
itary alliance because it was con
structed to parallel obligations un
der the league, and does not con
flict with Locarno or other treat
ies designed to keep the peace.
Southwest Gets Rain
SPRINGFIELD, Colo. — Rain,
but not enough, spattered into the
southwestern dust bowl today and
gave the drought harassed folk of
Baca county renewed hope that
their prayers for moisture Sunday
will bring an end to a four year
'“dry spell.”
Rain fell over the dust covered,
sun baked area from Lamar, Colo.,
south to Boise City, Okla., and
went from Lamar and Springfield
to Dodge City, Kans., but it was
barely a trace of moisture that fell
in many areas and even the .30 of
an inch recorded here soaked into
the parched soil almost before chil
dren could enjoy the pleasure of
playing in mud puddles.
It was the first moisture since
January at Springfield and resi
dents said it appeared to be the
“best” rain since 1932.

| ASUO Members Admitted
Free in Afternoon
_
By Dan E. Clark Jr.
Ever with his eyes on the far
horizon, with the wanderlust in
his blood, Amos Burg, Oregon ex
plorer who will lecture to students
j and townspeople at the Colonial
' theater today and tomorrow, has
for 20 years followed the always
distant star of the adventurer. Mr.
Burg returns to Eugene today un
der the auspices of the associated
students in response to popular de
mand to give illustrated lectures
on his recent trip to the bottom of
the world on commission for the
National Geographic society.
He spent over half a year cruis
ing the forbidding waters about
the islands of the Cape Horn
group at the southern tip of South
America and gathering data on the
barbarous tribes of that region.
The matinees will start at 3
o’clock. There will be one matinee
each day. The evening perform
ances will start at 7 and 9 o’clock.
Mr. Burg’s lectures will be preced
ed by 40 minutes of selected short
subjects. Students holding ASUO
cards will be admitted free, but
only during the afternoon per
formance.
Lectures in East
Mr. Burg recently presented his
lectures on his southern trip to
audiences of 3000 to 5000 persons
at Washington, D. C., New York,
Boston, and other large cities
throughout the East. His lectures
were enthusiastically received, Dr.
Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the
National Geographic society, com
mending him highly on his work.
When Mr. Burg was 16 he
shipped out on a leaky, old trans
port that many had predicted
would never reach port. It was
bound for Marseilles by way of Ja
pan and China from Vancouver, B.
C., but ran into one of those fierce

Juniors Report
Sore Arms After
Hours of Shining
After the Shine is over. After
the break of dawn. The joes and
coeds look at their shoes and see
what the juniors have done.
And according to a few reports,
the shoes were shined very good.
No one applied black polish on
white shoes. No one fell out of
the booths. And everyone reported
a very good time, although many
manly junior arms are just a little
tired after too much exertion.
Robert Thomas, co-chairman for
the affair said yesterday, “We
shined lots of shoes—mostly white
ones.” So now the traditional cans
of shoe cleaner and the brushes
have been put away until next year
when the class of 1937 will carry
on the annual event.
The directorate for Junior Shine
day was: James Blais, Robert
Thomas, co-chairmen; Reva Herns,
Virginia Younie, Edward Pinney,
tickets; Edwin Raudsep, Fred Lieu
alien, eqeuipment; Betty Shoemak

One of the finest organizations
of masculine voices in the state,
the Eugene Gleemen presented
the eighth of their annual con
certs in the music auditorium last

A near-capacity audience heard
the program, which was given in
two divisions, the first by the glee

for the final numbers, "Sylvia,”
and “Let Me Be Born Again,” a
rendition which proved especially
popular with the audience.

Chicago where he is to study, was

Dean Onthank
Recommends
Student Union
Need for This Building
Known for Years,
Says Dean
Emerald Praised for Pari
In Reopening Interest
By Malcolm Bauer
A study of the prospects for a
student union should be made at
once in the opinion of Karl W.
Onthank, dean of the personnel
administration. Dean Onthank was
enthusiastic yesterday in declaring
himself in favor of the proposal to
obtain a new student activity cen
ter on the University campus, and
asserted that “the Emerald's rec
ommendation that a study of the
student union. problem here be
made at once and advantage be
taken of the present unusual op
portunities for building, is
thoroughly timely and should be
heeded.”
He called attention to the fact
that the need for a student union
building on the campus has long
been recognized. “In 1923,” he re
called, “students then on the cam
pus subscribed as their share of
the gift campaign, then in prog
ress, over $200,000 for such a
building. For various reasons, in
cluding the recent depression, only
a small part of this sum has as
yet been collected, and the urgent
need which developed a few years
ago for a basketball pavilion led
to the deferring of the student
union project. However, the sub
scriptions already paid, which have
been accumulating at interest, to
gether with others which might be
collected if a real effort were made
to bring them in, would amount
to a sufficient sum to make a good
start toward a modest but ade
quate building.”
Union Sorely Needed
In stressing the immediate need
for a student union, Dean Onthank
was emphatic in explaining that
“if ever the University of Oregon
needed a place where students

Swimming Races
To Replace Canoe
Contest Next Week
Replacing the usual canoe races
held at the water carnival during
Junior weekend, which were aban
doned because of the scarcity of
canoes, a swimming race will be
held between representatives from
each living organization, the win
ner of which will receive a cup as
an award, it was revealed last
night by Willard Jones, chairman
of the event.
Varsity swimmers will not com
pete with representatives from
other houses, although they will
compete with each other in special
exhibition events. Jones has asked
for each house, both fraternities
and sororities, to choose one rep
resentative from their organiza
tion to compete for the cups.
Several novelty features are also
planned, one, a water race between
the canine mascots of the different
houses, and another to be a race
down the stream in barrels.

Carl Heilborn \s Outstanding
Pictures Now on Exhibition
By Henrietta Mummey
The work of a master—beauti-!
ful in its strength and decorative
finesse—forceful, realistic, delicate
—all these things and more can be
said of the work of the master
artist, Carl Heilborn.
His paintings and drawings now
on display in the Little Art gallery
of the art and architecture build
ing show his versatility and direct
nees suited to both the subject and
media. He shows no fumbling—no
uncertainty, and is swayed by a
rare sense of values from which
comes a darmatic but simple ex
pression of the theme.
From so many equally meritor
ious pictures, it is hard to pick any
that are outstanding, but perhaps
the most interesting are those de
picting the devastation wrought by
the earthquake in Southern Cali
fornia two years ago. "Main Street
at Night” is lovely in its sugges
tiveness and shading of the earth
quake ruins. Demolished buildings
are realistically drawn, with much
attention to detail, in other earth
quake pictures. Each is simple, yet
complicated.
Hollywood Furnishes Material
The hills of Hollywood furnish
material for many of the paintings
and drawings, which are note
worthy for their delicate colorings
in greens, browns, russets, and
blues. Each little detail is brought
out in a subtle manner, making it
seems as if one were looking upon
the real place, not the painted one.
Some of these are "Hollywood
Vista,” "Mounds of Hollywood,"
"Homes on the Hollywood Hills,”
