Oregon Business Men Open Two-Day Session; Professors Give Talks Oregon business men turned to consider a variety of problems today when they gathered on the campus Monday for opening sessions of the two-day Oregon Retail Distributors’ institute conference. Until noon the retailers talked behind closed doors, but at noon they met in John Straub memorial hall for a luncheon meeting to hear O. K. Burrell, professor of business administration, speak on the prob lems of business forecasting. "If the present tax reform bill is passed, if the wage-and-hour bill is defeated, and if the national la bor relations board act is modified, business will take care of itself,” the professor declared. Business in the United States | will go ahead, “pump priming or no1 pump priming,” if restrictions on it are removed, he said. Pump! priming is a long time factor in the deterioration of currency. To be immediately effective the prim ing program would have to be suf ficiently drastic to cause a cur rency panic, he believes. Officers Elected Eric M. Stanford, controller of Olds, Wortman and King, Port land, was elected president of the retail men at the morning session.j Others elected were T. J. Moore, controller of Meier and Frank com pany, Portland, first vice-presi dent; Edward Bissell, Salem, sec ond vice-president; Deo McClain Albany, third vice-president; N. A. Bonn, The Dalles, fourth vice-presi dent; Earl Byrom, Eugene, trea surer, and N. H. Cornish, professor of business administration at the ■ University, secretary. N. H. Cornish, professor of busi-! ness administration, opened the af- j ternoon session with a talk on the j traits of successful salespeople. By using a series of charts he empha sized the need for improved train ing methods for salespeople. In ability to close a sale is the result of inadequate sales training, he: said. The meeting was adjourned for a directors’ meeting. A number of modem business machines were demonstrated in the afternoon. Students Stage Contest Following the evening banquet a trio of Oregon students staged a shoe selling contest. K. A. Gimre, senior in business administration, won the first prize of $12. Gimre was assisted by Ruth Ketchum, another senior, as customer. Sec ond prize of $10 went to Gordon Palmer, and third prize of $8 went to L. E. Crane. Open sessions today will include talks on “Effects of Unfair Trade Practice Acts,” “Resale Price Main tenance,” “Undistributed Profit Tax,” “Chain Store Taxation,” and “Effective and Ineffective Store Advertising.” The annual session will be concluded at a joint ban quet with Oregon commercial sec retaries tonight.

National Guard troops have appeared on the campus as instructors in drilling, the handling of firearms, the use of gas masks, and similar sub jects, and professors have done enlightening in the field of "theory.” War rations have been served in the college dining halls. And that’s about it. Now why doesn’t some other college carry on from there and give a little real horror instruc tion? Within certain limits, of course. Have a class in marching, that lasts all day and covers 20 miles of ground. Have a six-hour class in the art of standing around kneedeep in water. Hold a night session in sleeping" on a rock pile, and follow it up with a morning stretch of trench-digging. And of course the students ought not be allowed to take their clothes off for. a week, and all the eating should be done with a bayonet, or maybe the fingers. That might be a real education. California, according to a recent survey, leads the world in its export trade of prunes. Hollywood sends out a pretty good crop of lemons once m a. While, too.—Eugene Register-Guard. SIDE SHOW Edited by ... . Faul Deutschmaun You or I can walk out alone on a spring morning and en joy the sun, shower, or just the air. You or I can wander at night admiring the moon, counting the stars, or just walking about. But we are just common peo ple. Over in Europe there are three men who cannot take a trip much farther than from here to Portland without secret preparations, special routes, po lice check-ups, armed body guards, etc. These people are great. They are admired by millions. They have power. People tremble at what they- do or what they might do. They will go down in history. We are different. Probably no one will ever tremble at us. History of a community will perhaps note us for a few years, but we will never make the 120 point type in the metropolitan dailies of the \vorld. And when authors come to write biogra phies they will probably neglect us. Sunday was May day. May day is one of the oldest tradi tional holidays of the world. You and I could go out on a picnic, perhaps, wander out in the rain-soaked woods, and not worry about anything riiore se rious than ruining- our shoes. But not them. Hitler, Mus solini and Stalin sat in modern fortresses, most probably bomb proof, surrounded by guards, and figured out what they would have to do to take a lit tle trip. It seems rather amusing to us when w-e read how 10,000 Secret operators of Mussolini “cleanses” three Italian cities for the visit of Hitler, how 7,000 “suspicious” characters were tossed in the Italian bas tiles to "prepare” for the visit, how bars, trains, hotels, street corners will be populated with a horde of Ovra (II Duce’s se cret police). ❖ if* * In Russia Stalin is struck at by a fantastic voice from the skies. A mysterious radio, speaking for the “Liberator’s League” pronouhces a sentence of death upon the ruler of the Soviet. The Gay-Pay-O swing their static makers into effect, arrest a couple hundred of “Trotzkiests,” finally conclude that an airplane short wave plant is hurling the message. It is ironic. Sometimes when we do not think of the concen tration camps and Siberia and purges we can laugh. We think of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin and his guards, shrinking be hind their bomb proof walks, their cordon of guards, and wo ■ feel sorry for them, but most of all we think them foolish. For we know that if they ba<* so desired they, too, could walk out and view the budding blcy soms of May day. (I’m glad I’m common.) CLASSIFIED LOST*—Pair of gold-rimmed fuli vue glasses.
