FROM PLANE CRASH
SALT LAKE CITY — The bod
ies of 19 men and women, killed in j
the nation's worst airplane disas- j
ter, were being transferred by
stretchers, pack-trains, wagons, j
and motor trucks in ' successive
stages of their journey last night
to mortuaries in Evanston, Wyo- !
ming.
Great caution was required of
rescuers, who were constantly men
aced by deep snow, steep and slip
pery canyon walls, and the ever
present danger of landslides. While
the rescue work went on, bereaved
relatives of the crash victims be
gan to gather in Evanston to claim
their dead.
Among the passengers were a
bank president, an expectant moth
er, a noted pathologist and two
newsreel men making a picture of
“the safety of transcontinental
flying.” A federal investigating
board will meet in Salt Lake this
Saturday.
SWASTIKAS CLUE
TO LOST LAND OF “MU”
NEW YORK — Huge swastika
like symbols found carved deep in
the face of a huge, 40-ton mono
lith in the Fiji islands may be a
clue to a lost world in the Pacific
ocean, according to-an announce
ment by the Fahnestock South sea
expedition of the American Mu-;
seum of Natural History.
Filling in an archeological trail j
running half way across the Pa- j
cific, the human-carved symbols on
the monolith points to two possi
bilities. One is a civilization which |
has disappeared. The other is a'
sunken continent, usually called |
“Mu,” that once might have filled
that part of the ocean.
A native legend led searchers to
the stone . . . maybe some of Hit

LANDON LANDS ON FDR
IN BITTER ADDRESS
WASHINGTON — Former Gov
ernor Alf M. Landon lashed out
last night in a radio attack on
President Roosevelt criticizing his
administration achievements and
future aims.
He said Roosevelt “wasted prac
tically the entire session of con
gress in 1937 fighting for more
power for himself,” neglecting im
portant legislation. “The real rea
son why progress has lagged in
America during the last four and
one-half years is the failure of the
president to follow our constitu
tional method of government, and
his failure as an administrator.”
Landon’s speech left everyone
up in the air as to just what the
Kansan’s own political hopes for
the future are.

DAYS OF '29 RIVALED
NEW YORK —- Wall street was
turned into a bedlam yesterday
when leading stocks nose-dived to
new post-depression marks only to
come back strongly later to wipe
out initial losses and, in many in
stances, close higher for the day.
As on Monday, prices of leading
issues fell as much as $10 a share
and more, forced down by heavy
opening sales. While all this was
going on, traders and industrialists
nervously watched the tickers and
wondered whether or not President
Roosevelt ■would exert his authori
ty to close the exchange. He made
no comment.
So fast did things happen that

Dr. Wilford White
Is BA Guest Speaker
Speaking before a large audi
ence of business ad students and
faculty Monday morning, Dr. Wil
ford White, chief of the bureau of
marketing research of the depart
ment of commerce at Washington,
D. C., explained the functions of
the marketing division. Monday
night Dr. White spoke on the sub
ject, “Where the Consumers' Dol
lar Goes,” over station KOAC at
Corvallis.
He commented favorably on the
assistance received from the Al
pha Kappa Psi, commerce society,
and N. H. Cornish, professor of
business ad, in relation to a store
modernization problem.
He also pointed out the oppor
tunities for college students, tak
ing a marketing and accounting
course, in the bureau of marketing
research of the department of
commerce.
the ticker tape fell 22 minutes be
hind just before noon. Shouting of
traders could be heard outside as
far as famed Trinity church a block

DIPLOMATS FAIL
TO ACHIEVE GOAL
LONDON — Failing to solve the
withdrawal - of - foreign - volun
teers - from - Spain problem after
three hours of bitter discussion,
the nine-power nonintervention
committee was at a stalemate last
night.
A surprise Italian demand for
the return of the whole noninter
vention negotiations to the basis
of the British plan of last kJuly,
tightened the situation. Their de
mand would reject discussion of
the new Anglo-French five-point
plan for removing volunteers im
mediately. Germany and Portugal
supported Italy.
Demonstrative Group
Pie ases Choi rHe ad
“People either like this negro music a great deal or they do not
like it all,” Dr. Hall Johnson, conductor of the choir, remarked last
night during an intermission. "But rarely have I found an audience
as demonstrative as this one tonight."
And he was literally mobbed by admirers as he smoked his cigar
ette perched on the end of an extremely interesting slender cigarette
holder about a foot lone*. Manv notshles from the school incln,-liner
Dr. C. Valentine Boyer, and Dean
John J. Landsbury gathered about
the noted singer as he talked
“shop” with numerous local mu
sicians.
“In the South negroes used to
sing incessantly, unconsciously,”
he said. “Many of the songs we
sing, I remember only from my
childhood in Georgia. I do not
even remember when I first heard
them.” «
“I think in time ‘Old Man River'
will become accepted as a negro
folk song,” he said.
Dr. Johnson prefers a concert
tour to motion pictures or • radio
because he said it is much easier
to feel how the audience is taking
the music.
The ladies in the choir also en
joy a tour even though, as they
said, they have to get out of their
bus to shovel snow or to push
trucks occasionally. "It's all great
fun.”
Dr. Johnson is a tall man of a
musically nervous temperament.
His expressive hands, long and
sensitive, makes graceful gestures
as he coaxes and tones down the
music from his singers. He re
ceived his degree of doctor of mu
sic from the Philadelphia Academy
of Music and before undertaking
the choir work was a violinist. The
choir was started in 1925.
On concert tour his choir sticks
to folk songs although the reper
toire contains many other works.
Dr. Johnson likes many sorts of
j jazz music. “Jazz is a straight de
! rivative from the old shouting
spirituals of slave days,” he said.
The colored conductor is a great
admirer of Duke Ellington.
William C. Gassner, manager of
the choir, and Dr. Johnson both
were enthusiastic in their praise of
the new welcoming committee set
up by the Associated Students.
They declared that they had found
nothing like it in all the colleges
in which they have appeared. The
group headed by Jack Enders met
the choir in the evening when their
bus arrived and were at their dis
posal during their stay in Eugene.
