ACCIDENTAL .. .
UO Senior Dies
After Auto Crash
Psychology Major
Lingers Six Days
Before Succumbing
Norman W. Sims, 23, senior in
psychology, was fatally injured in
an automobile accident at the in
tersection of Thirteenth and Hil
yard Thursday night, March 6. He
was taken to the Sacred Heart
hospital, where he di^d at 12:10
a.m. Wednesday, March 12. Be
tween the time of the accident and
his death Sims never regained con
sciousness.

that his college career was ended
only one day before completion of
the hours necessary for gradua
tion.

sion as second lieutenant in the
United States army only a short
time before his death, and was to

gene public and high school. He
was an active member of the Bap
tist church.
Relatives Survive
Surviving are Sims’ step-par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bris
bane; Lowell, Lester, and Hugh
Brisbane and DeLos Morgan, step
brothers; Mrs. Gladys Slausen of
Butte, Montana, a step-sister; F. P.
Close, grandfather; and several
aunts and uncles. His parents, Ir
vin Sims and Leota Close Sims, are
both dead.
Dr. J. R. Branton, professor of
religion, a close friend, of Sims,

ices, which were held Saturday

REPORTER
Nazis Sentence
Oregon Alumnus
Allen Crosses Line.
Will Spend Three
Months in 'Camp'
Jay Allen, Oregon alum and cor
respondent for the North Amer
ican Newspaper alliance, was sen
tenced to three months in a Nazi
concentration camp last week for
crossing the lines between occu
pied and unoccupied Fiance with
out proper papers.
Governor Charles A. Sprague,
calling Allen “one of the ablest
journalists in the service of the
American press,” sent a telegram
to Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
urging him to “make strong rep
resentations for the release of Jay
Allen.”
Secretary Hull replied that the
authorities "take the view that Mr.
Allen had full knowledge of the
requirements and that anyone who
deliberately disregards their mili
tary regulations must not expect
special consideration but must ac
cept due responsibility for his ac
tion.”
Allen attended both the Uni
versity of Oregon and Washing
ton State college. In the early
1920’s he worked on the Portland
Oregonian.
Place of his detention is not
known.
