ANTI-NAZI
Miller Pleads
For Freedom
In Assembly
Nazi Trade Policy
Aired for Students
By Former Envoy
By BERNIE ENGEL
Illustrating his point by anec
dotes, Douglas P. Miller warned a
University assembly Friday that,
“We must never give up liberty
for security. We must stand by
freedom, of the human spirit and
of economic society.”
Miller, United States trade com
missioner to Berlin since 1924, de
clared that the main point to con
sider in Nazi-American commer
cial diplomacy was not whether we
could have friendly relations but
r whether we could have them with
out imitating the dictators.
No Compromise
“The Nazis are unwilling to
compromise. We found that goods
must be shipped in German ships;
that they must be insured by Ger
mans; and that they must be in
spected by German inspectors at
our expense,” he stated.
He explained the Nazis’ theory
as being based on “two pole3 in
the world.” The German pole rep
resents order and science; the
American represents irresponsibil
ity. unscientific methods, and a
mongrel nation.
Outlines Theories
He outlined the Nazi racial the
ories, saying that they believed the
Jews to be “a mongrel of white,
yellow, and black races in Pales
tine.”
President Donald M. Erb intro
duced Miller, recommending him
because of “his scholarly back
ground and long experience.”
SYMPOSIUM...
Lane Speechmen
Convene Today
Dahlberg Named
To Keynote Meeting
Of New Association
W. A. Dahlberg, acting head of
the University speech division,
will deliver the keynote address to
members of the Lane county
speech association at the initial
* meeting of the group today at 9
o’clock in the alumni room of Ger
linger hall.
The purpose and importance of
the formation of the league will
be discussed by Mr. Dahlberg, plac
ing emphasis on the symposium
panel and other streamlined speech
forms. He believes that this re
cently-developed type of speaking
offers opportunity for greater stu
dent participation and is popular
because it centers around discus
sion of the question rather than
debate.
The association is the outgrowth
of a plan and constitution drawn
up by Mr. Dahlberg and Speech
Instructor Marvin Krenk, at the
request of the school officials of
Lane county. The group will be
the first in the state to organize
> a speech association of this type,
' according to Mr. Krenk.
After a luncheon at the An
chorage, a tour of the campus will
be conducted, Mr. Krenk revealed.
The delegates will visit the speech
division, radio studio, the newly
organized speech clinic, and other
points of interest on the campus.

TOUGH 'GRIND'
Rifle Teams to Shoot
Dive Bombers Today
As Camera Records
By DONALD BOSS
When a rifle-man shoots down a dive bomber it is news, according
to the International news service authorities, but when a rifle-woman
shoots down a plummeting plane, we think of a man biting a dog.
This afternoon at one o’clock the men’s and women’s rifle teams
will both “shoot their stuff’ at screaming dive bombers before grind
ing cameras on the National Guarc
target range. If things turn oul
bad for the miniature planes loadec
with explosives, we may be seeing
our sharp-shooters on the loca
screens in the near future.
Small Span
The planes may only have £
wing span of a few inches; thej
may only slide down long wire;
from a high pole, but in pictures
they will look like the real thing
according to Mr. Emery of the Un
iversal News Reel company.
Mr. Emery, inventor of the un
ique targets, chose the Universitj
of Oregon for his experiment be
cause of its remarkable record ir
riflery. He will be behind th<
cameras this afternoon shooting
the results of the rifles on the
diving planes.
Blythe Instructs
Sergeant Blythe of the ROTC de
partment has been instructing th<
teams on the correct methods o!
shooting of this kind. Picking
off moving targets is a little oui
of the scope of the rifle teams
but he said they feel confiden
that their “anti-aircraft" guns wil
! make a fine showing this after
i noon.
Museum Receives
Selected Pictures
Twenty large specially selected
photographs of Oregon scenery
have been donated to the museum
of natural history by the Oregon
forest service, according to Dr.
Warren D. Smith, head of the
geology and geography depart
ments. The scenes consist mainly
of forest shots.
The new photographs bring the
museum’s collection up to 50 since
the highway service presented 30
others recently. The snaps are on
display in the southwest corner of
the museum.

WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION
What if Buck Buchwach doesn’t have anything in that bowl to beat with the egg beater? Waiting to
offer him their aid, part of the 51 girls in the household management, surround the only boy in the class.
Although claiming that he took the course for practical educational value, some of Buck’s “boy friends”
wager that he won’t be able to cook a decent mea! at term’s end.

ATTACHE DETACHED ...
Nazi Interest Shifted
Into Politics-Miller
By DON BUTZIN
When Douglas P. Miller was on
this campus last, in 1927, he talked
with faculty members on the tech
1 nlcal aspects of international
l trade. But things have changed
1 and in his own words, “Interest in
Germany where I was situated as
commercial attache is much more
political now” and more in the
i news.
In those days, life was pretty
regular, he stated. He had to aid
American businessmen with inter
ests in Germany, advise American
diplomats on the commercial af
fairs of state, and write home a
yearly report on the economic con
ditions in Germany.
Interests Smaller
| United States commercial inter
ests were becoming so much small
er in 1938 that the smooth-talking
commercial man came back to this
country to join the faculty of the
University of Denver. He says he
was glad to get his family and fur
niture out at that time, for they
felt war coming.
“One of my wife's relatives, a
brother,” Mr. Miller asserted, “is
a minister. After preaching Sun
day morning, he goes on Monday
to a warehouse near his home and
unlocks his door so that 20 Polish
prisoners may get out. These he
guards with a rifle in a nearby
field where they work all day.
Then he locks them up again at
night.
Talks in Chapman
After getting time to discuss
(Please turn to page jour)
friends woul accost me in the
street and mutter:
"What a sweet title wife you
ought to make for some unsus
pecting gal!”
Three Proposals
Three marriage proposals that
first week, an offer to be Zeta
hall's housemother, an invitation to
lecture before the Women’s Home
making institute . . yes, it was
quite a week, that first one.
Now they’re mugging me in ap
rons, waiting on beautiful femmes,
and washing clothes while the
weaker sex gazes enraptured—or
something.
States Views
Now after three weeks I’ve been
insistently asked to state my views.
Here they are:
If every Monday, - Wednesday,
and Friday you walked into a cozy
room and found yourself surround
ed by 51 of the most choice beau
ties on the campus; if you were the
only male among this abundance
of female pulchritude; if you nat
urally had to uphold the man’s
side of the argument whenever you
were dumb enoi/gh to argue—what
would you think of such a course ?
Must Learn
What’s funny about learning
about how to get along with your
wife? What's so silly about find
ing out some of the problems the
married couple have to face when
they get out of school? Problems
that economics, history, anr chem
istry courses at the University
may solve, but sometimes won’t
That’s why I took household
management. I’m earnest about
the whole thing—well almost.
After all, one solitary male can’t
be surrounded by 51 brands of such
utter loveliness and expect to con
centrate wholly on classwork!
I’m trying to fix up a homework
schedule with a few of my fellow
students ... a very informal ses
sion . . .
Partner to Survey
Stewart Partner, who acted as
research assistant to Dr. H. D.
Sheldon of the history department
from 1935 to 1937, now has charge
of a state survey of county ar
chives in Michigan.
Some of the volumes of these
archives have been sent to the
University library.

Moritz to Talk
On Chinese Aid
Here Tuesday
Speaker Travels
By Bus, Rickshaw,
Steamboat, Train
Paul Moritz comes to the Uni
versity via steamship, rail, bus,
rickshaw, and his own two feet to
talk to students in a Gerlinger as
sembly Tuesday morning at 11
o’clock. Classes usually meeting
then will be postponed till Thurs
day at 11 a.m., officials announced
yesterday.
Mr. Moritz was graduated from
Kansas university in 1939 and
awarded the highest honor the in
stitution gives—honor man of the
year. He made Phi Beta Kappa
and Delta Sigma Rho as well as
Sachem, honor men’s fraternity.
While at school he was president
of Westminster forum, YMCA
two years, Rocky Mountain field
council twice, and co-chairman of
the National Intercollegiate Chris
tian council in 1938-1939.
He describes the Chinese stu
dents as “keenly aware of the po
litical and international situation
and devoted to their cause. There
seems to be an excellent spirit of
cooperation between Christian and
non-Christian students. . . . They
have an enthusiasm which is fresh
and stimulating. Leadership seems
to be quite young but not imma
ture.”
The youth leader will speak in
connection with the campus drive
for the world student service fund
starting next week.
Coast Guard to Show
Movies January 28
Movies of life at the United
States Coast Guard academy will
be shown in the physical educa
tion building Tuesday, January 28,
at 4 p.m., by a representative of
the service.
The academy, located in New
London, Connecticut, is similar to
West Point and Annapolis. Admis
sion is by appointment. No college
work is specifically required, but
applicants must have completed
certain courses in mathematics and
English.
The guard is responsible in times
of peace for discipline on the high
seas; in wartime it becomes part
of the regular navy.
