Municipal Research Bureau Requests Legislation for More Efficient Speed Laws By DOROTHY KREIS Should the cities of Oregon have a definite speed limit ? Under the present system, there is no real speed limit, and cities have no right to enact speed laws, according to Herman Kehrli, of the Bureau of Municipal Research. Oregon cities arc realizing more and more the difficulty of prosecut ing speeders under the existing rule, Mr. Kehrii says, and are beginning Four UO Profs Set For Berkeley Meet Four faculty members will ac tively participate in the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Eco nomics association to be held at the University of California at Berkeley, December 28-30, it was announced recently from the office of James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of social science. Dr. Donald M. Erb, president of the University; Victor P. Morris, dean of the school of business ad ministration; Dean Gilbert, and C. L. Kelly, professor of business administration, will take part in the program. Dr. Erb will preside at one of the evening banquets, and Dean Morris will participate in the round table discussion on “Ameri can Merchant Marine and Ship Subsidies.” Dean Gilbert will lead the discussion following the read ing of a paper on “Economic Prob lems of Pacific Coast Forestry,” and Professor Kelly will give a paper on “Accounting Problems in Corporate Taxation.” This year’s conference will be the seventeenth time members of the organization have met togeth er.

DUHH LAST TIME TODAY Anne Shirley, Ralph Bellamy "GIRL’S SCHOOL” -plus Tom Brown, Andy Devine in ‘‘SWING THAT CHEER” LAST TIME TODAY The Ritz Brothers in ‘‘KENTUCKY MOONSHINE” -:p 1U S— Edw. G. Robinson ‘‘I AM THE LAW” • Doors Open 6:30 p.m. Daily | to ask the state legislature to help i them out with new laws for en forcement. The basic rule reads, “No per son shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent, having clue regard to the traffic, surface and width of the highway, and the hazard at intersections and any other conditions then existing.” Proof Difficult Although indicated speeds are 15 miles an hour passing schools, 25 miles through residence dis tricts and 45 miles as the maxi mum speed limit, he pointed out that it is difficult to prove that a person has exceeded a “reasonable and prudent” speed limit. Mr. Kehrli explained that these laws were made because, when given the power to set speed limits, certain cities set “speed traps” and collected undue revenue by means of insignificant offenses. Analyzing reports on the number of traffic deaths taken from the magazine, “Public Safety,” Alex ander G. Brown, deputy city attor ney of Portland found that “speed, the speed of the modern motor car, is largely responsible for the in creasing death list.” Results Too Tragic In his radio address on “Muni cipal Traffic Control,” Mr. Brown drew this conclusion: Tne results are too tragic for this degree of individualism to ! continue.” Mr. Brown believes that cam paigns to reduce traffic accidents are of great value and should be conducted so consistently that they would cease to become campaigns. However, he says that they cannot take the place of good traffic laws. Mr. Brown said that this prob lem was presented to a committee at the last session of the legis lature but action was not begun' soon enough to pass any remedial legislation. Mrs. Beck Appointed To Board Committee Mrs. Anne Landsbury Beck, head of the public school music depart ment in the University school of music, has been appointed a mem ber of a general supervisory com mittee for the state department of education, it was announced yes terday.

Strong Position Held bg Labor, Sags Mediator Mutual Concession, Discussion Achieve Best Results Organized labor on the west coast is in a relatively strong po sition, especially in the service trades, according to Ernest P. Marsh of the United States de partment of labor conciliation ser vice who addressed a convocation of University law students yester day at, the invitation of Dean Wayne L. Morse. Marsh is particularly qualified to describe the position of western labor, as he has been for the past 21 years in the position of media tor between workers and employ ers from Washington to Southern California. Conciliation Successful The conciliation service has found that settlements reached by the parties involved in the dispute by mutual concession and discus sion are more lasting and of great er ultimate benefit than those im posed upon them from the out side. The government should step into labor disputes only when the best interests or the actual peace of a community is threatened, Marsh believes. He pointed out that the best work is done by the diplomatic method of the conciliation service, when discussion is promoted be tween the factions and tension re lieved that might result in ill-ad vised action. ASUO to Stage (Continued from page one) Latest arrangements for the Paramount theater rally Friday night include a rally outside the theater from 10 to 10:30, a stage show based on the “musical know ledge” type of contest, a broadcast from inside the theater, and a fea ture film. Part of the outdoor rally will also be broadcast. A distinguishing feature about this theater party is that it will not be a joint affair. Only Webfoot rooters will take part, with the Staters having their own celebra tion elsewhere. No Dancing at Theater Countermanding its earlier an nouncement. the rally committee announced there would be no danc ing in the Paramount Friday night, because the Paramount has no arrangements whereby dancing can go on while the picture is being shown. Following Saturday's game the headline event will be the first an nual Beaver-Duck mix at Jantzen Beach to the music of Bart Wood yard's orchestra, with Oregon and Oregon State rally committees in joint charge. Feature of the Saturday night dance is the introduction of a sur prise girl vocalist, not to be an nounced until the beginning of the dance, at 9 o’clock. Halftime at the game Saturday will see no Webfoot intermission stunt, due to the fact that the game is technically a home game for the Beavers, who will be in charge. Scott Corbett, chairman of the rally committee, was still confined to a sickbed yesterday. Tickets for the theater parly will be on sale today from 8 to 3 o’clock at to cents. The Jantzen Beach Bcavcr-Duck mix will be a $1 affair. The rally committee is still work ing to promote more street ac tivity in Portland for Friday night but no definite announcement coulc • L-2 IUO Professors Write Books on History University professors have done their share toward the development of the scientific history of Oregon according to Dr. H. D. Sheldon, professor of history and education, who yesterday compiled a list of their historical contributions. Professor F. G. Young, who came here in 1885 was the first to ; publish source material for Oregon history. In 1899 he founded the Oregon Historical Quarterly and edited the first 31 volumes. Dr. R. C. Clark, history department head, is now editor of the quar terly. Dr. Joseph Schafer succeeded Dr. Young as head of the department. He was the author of two books, the most popular being “History of ' the Pacific Northwest.” When he left for Wisconsin in 1920. Dr. R. C. Clark stepped ifito his place. Dr. Clark has written the “History of Willamette Valley” and has collaborated with two of his students on a text book for use in elementary schools. Two years ago Dr. Clark and Dr. Burt Brown Barker, University vice president, spent several months in Europe collecting material on the early settlement of Oregon from the archives of the Hudson Bay company. Professor Alfred Lomax, now ex change professor at Honolulu, con tributed a large number of articles on the history of manufacturing in Oregon. Professor George Turnbull of the journalism department has been working on the history of the Oregon newspapers. In 1929 Dr. Sheldon completed a bibliography which was published by University students.

Not only did they see the archery shop and listen to the explanations of how the bows are made but they were escort ed over the Cochran farm and were served refreshments by Mrs. Cochran.
