All Europe Pauses as
Governments Await
Crashes of Ministries
French Cabinet May
Be Shaken; Larger
War Preparations
Expected
By GORDON RIDGEWAY
(Editor’s note—Events of the
past few days have led all Europe
into a precarious diplomatic situa
tion. The following short articles
will attempt to summarize latest
news from different European cap
itals received at Eugene at 10
o’clock last night.)
PARIS, Feb. 21.—Possible resig
nation of Foreign Minister Delbos
or even a shake-up of the whple
French cabinet appeared as the
most immediate results here of
Europe’s latest diplomatic crisis.
In any case the cabinet is expected
to reply to Germany with a de
mand for increased military appro
priation in a special session today.
Hesitation before taking drastic
action was apparent, the foreign
ministry evidently hoping that the
British shift is not as complete as
it seems. Some Paris observers
were of the opinion that France
would follow England in almost
any move.
Premier Camille Chautemps has
consulted with his ministers about
enlarging the cabinet to include
more conservatives.
London Crowds
Condemn Premier
LONDON, Feb. 21. Faced with
the necessity of voting Tuesday
night on a motion that would cen
sure Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain for his bargain with Rome
and Berlin, the British parliament
was tonight beleaguered with un
ruly crowds that invaded the
House of Commons lobby shouting,
“Hitler and Mussolini shall not
dictate to Britain!”
With the support of the conser
vative party leaders, Chamberlain
continued to defend his shift in
policy that resulted in the resigna
tion of Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden.
Home Secretary Sir John Simon
told the house of commons that
Britain had no intention, at pres
ent, of consulting with other na
tions on Czechoslovakian sover
eignty.
The London Herald said that the
board of trade had negotiated an
agreement whereunder Italy will
receive a substantial credit from
Britain. British recognition of
Italian control of Ethiopia is also
expected. Observers feel that in
return Britain will attempt to re
gain leadership in the Mediterran
ean and to exact a promise from
Italy to refrain from stirring up
Arab unrest.
Hitler Now Eyes
Czechoslovakia
BERLIN, Feb. 21— Assured by
his peaceful penetration of Austria,
Adolpf will probably turn next to
Czechoslovakia, private Nazi
sources indicated tonight. They
expect him to invite the foreign
minister to Berlin to talk about
the “3,500,000 Germans in Czecho
slovakia.
Observers were of the belief that
Britain would allow Germany ex
tend her economic and political
sway in central Europe as long as
it does not point westward. With
more to gain from this than from
a return of the pre-war colonies,
Hitler will be content, it is believed,
to wait for a colonial settlement.
Austrian Capital
Torn by Riots
VIENNA, Feb. 21 —'The Austrian
cabinet tonight deemed it neces
sary to ban all political demonstra- j
tions in the nation after daylong
rioting occurred in Vienna streets.
Chancellor Seliusehnigg issued or
ders to police officials to drastical
ly restrict Nazi activities.
Demonstrations were carried on
all day with many clashes between
Nazi and non-Nazi sympathizers.
Many of Vienna's 20,000 Jews were
panic-stricken.
Reportedly included in the regu
lations are:
1. Nazi cross forbidden.
2. “Heil Hitler” banned as
greeting.
3. German uniforms banned.
4. Nazi literature retained on
banished list.
5. Loudspeaker distribution of
German broadcasts forbidden.
Despite these anti-Nazi meas
ures, all hope of Austrian escape
from Hitler’s grasp vanished, un
less her one-time protector, Italy,
should suddenly put the brake on
the Rom e-Berlin axis.
Chinese Language
Development Shown
Chinese language originated over riOOO years ago, and is a com
bination of pictograph and monosyllable, Miss Bessie Ying Lee told
social science students yesterday.
The language is made up of 600,000 characters which are formed
by 300 radicals. Diffusion of western culture in China brought new
characters, such as those needed in “motor-car,’1 and “ice-cream." The
Chinese had the word for “ice” but not for “cream,” she said.
vjiu uiaaoitD an; nuiuicu ijy \jiiiy
those really interested in litera
ture, she explained. "Pai-hus” is
the spoken language used by oth
ers.
In 1917 a movement was made to
simplify the language, and at the
present time scholars are working
on a set of 37 signs, which more
nearly correspond to the phonetic
alphabet.
Miss Lee, a graduate student, is
making a study of Chinese resi
dents in Portland, and the reason
for Chinese being distributed along
the west coast.
Stanford Debaters
To Visit UO Friday
Stanford debaters will hold a
fireside here next Friday afternoon

Pittsburgh Offers
Retailing Course
“After college, what?’’
Tf you are interested in retail
ing, the research bureau for re
tail training at the University of
Pittsburgh, in a notice sent to the
dean of women’s office yesterday,
believes that it has a plausible an
swer to this question asked by
thousands of college graduates. The
answer is an offer of a one-year
graduate course in retailing to stu
dents who want to prepare them
selves for a definite type of work
in any phase of retailing.
To base their study on actual
store practices, bureau students
spend three days a week in Pitts
burgh department stores, learning
to put into practice the informa
tion learned in the classroom.
SOCIAL TOUR SLATED
Saturday morning the Wesley
foundation under the direction of
Orval Etter, social chairman, will

Reemployment office, the Consum
ers Co-op, WPA office, and the
Salvation Army. The Wesleyans

>f each organization visited.
Long-lost Belongings
Still Pine for Owners
By SADIE MITCHELL
If it has been lost or left, or has just strayed away, you might
try looking for it at the lost and found department in the University
postoffice, where there is now assembled an unusually large collection
of everything from milady’s felt topper to a pair of knee-high hose.
Because the customary auction on unclaimed articles was not
held last year, the office now boast.s a very detailed assortment of
Jiaui, gic/vcrn, j/uurj,
scarfs, umbrellas, and jewelry.
There are a number of textbooks
on hand, including four accounting
books, and several notebooks. Also
to be found are two pairs of
glasses and a few ladies’ handbags.
The bureau of missing things re
ports that money is the best, draw
ing-card. Not long ago when a
dollar bill was turned in, four dif
ferent boys came to claim it within
fifteen minutes.
The most valuable find to date
was a purse containing $185, which
was returned to its owner.
As a relic of last exam week
there is a pair of shoes which evi
dently some poor coed was either
scared out of, or else they were
taken off as a relaxation measure,
and were forgotten. A ball of yarn
was also turned in, which was prob
ably lost by some nimble-fingered
young lady, too proud to sleep
through her classes.
MRS. REBEC IIX
Mrs. George Rebec, wife of the
dean of the graduate division at
the University of Oregon, was sud
denly taken ill and underwent a
major operation at the Eugene
hospital on Wednesday.
STUURMAN VISITS
Dr. Dor. Stuurman, former Ore
gon graduate student, was on the
campus Saturday and Sunday
from Reed college, where he is an

received his master's degree here.

'Radio Production'
Course to Be Given
Class to Be 2 Hours,
3 Term Sequence,
Starts Next Fall
A course in “Radio Production,”
for those interested in either writ
ing or acting for broadcast pur
poses, will be added to the curricu
lum of the speech division next
year, it was announced yesterday
by John L. Casteel, director of the
department.
Offered in collaboration with the
schools of journalism, business ad
ministration, music, and drama,
the course will be a three-term
sequence, two hours each term.
“The course may be used as a
laboratory for the University plays
now being presented over KORE
three times weekly,” said Mr. Cas
teel. There will be no prerequi
sites other than ability at writing
or acting, but the permission of the
speech department will be required,
for enrollment in the course, he
added.
No one professor will teach the
class, but representatives of the
various schools working together
on the project will conduct it at
different times, although it will be
under the direction of the speech
department.
Oregon State college now has a
radio speech course and University
of Washington is developing some
thing similar.

A somewhat different prison
story is that of “Penitentiary” now
on at the Heilig. Instead of the
! usual jailbreak requirements, this
picture is alive with “inside”
' drama.
John Howard accidentally kills
a man and is sent to prison. Fox
years he works in the prison jute
mill. Then he gets a promotion
driving the warden’s car. Inevit
ably the warden has to have a
. daughter. Warden Walter Connolly
J is no exception. His daughter,
Jean Paiker, and Howard fall in
love.
| Connolly has gubernatorial
! aspirations, but these as well as
the love affair seem bound to land
on the rocks when Howard is
found in the warden’s office with
the body of a dead convict.
