Tryouts For Final Debate Team Tonight The final opportunity for stu dents interested in speech to try out for the men’s symposium de bate team will come tonight in 107 Friendly hall at 7:30 p.m. Those trying out will be asked to deliver a three-minute talk on any subject of their choice. The main purpose of the tryouts is to see and hear the student and get some idea of his ability as a public speaker. Those who are selected will work together upon some vital, current topic and with adequate preparation will tour the state. Last year the debate group made 10 appearances before granges, schools, service clubs, and churches. The varied experience of these apeparances proved in valuable to the students. If there are questions as to procedure and eligibility Profes sor W. A. Dahlberg will be glad to see anyone interested before th^ tryouts Tuesday night. Business With Hitler (Continued from paqe one) the first place. Because the charge proved true he was not defended by the American charge d’affairs in Paris. This action raised considerable comment and protest on the part of many newspaper men and sev eral government officials. Gover nor Charles Sprague immediately sent a telegram to Secretary of State Cordell Hull pleading for “strong representations” to be made to Germany in the cause of Allen. In the message he men tioned that Mr. Allen was an Ore gon graduate and further said that, “. . . Allen would be in real danger if turned over to some of the fascist powers because or his fearless reporting.” An Oregon ian editorial suggested that the German action might be a re prisal for the newly-passed lend lease bill and reminded the pub lic that there were hundreds of Germans that the U S. could hold if the need arose. This string-pulling was appar ently in vain, however, as Mr. Allen was sentenced to three months in the German concentra tion camp at Chalons, where he war kept until the news he had gathered was no longer of any value to American newspapers. His subsequent weeks in Europe ano his recent return to Ameiica form the basis for his coming lecture. Music Positions Open There are still vacancies in the band and the orchestra.

If you receive a sufficient income, you were no doubt disturbed by fearsome tables in the newspapers stating that persons with an income of $2500 will pay $90 of it for income taxes this year. You also may have heaved a sigh for the man who has a million-dollar income, who will turn back to the treasury $732, 554 of it, still leaving him a little cigarette money at that. Then after you ponder over this tax ridden situation, you may con clude that it hurts, all right, but that you are willing to let it hurt for the sake of good old national defense. Someone will probably then take the joy out of life by asserting that you aren’t paying through the nose at all; look at the poor British taxpayers, etc. Even so, with U. S. coffers due to receive thirteen billions in tax money in fiscal 1942, I call that a sizeable intake. My objection is simply this: I am willing to shell out an extra penny for a tube of toothpaste, and I am willing to pay every tax a tax-conscious congressman can think up, providing it goes for a national defense which is planned for carefully, is a real defense, and is not just pork-barrel by an other name. I am not sure any one of those conditions is being met. I know that only days ago the president admitted the de fense effort was pretty sick when he juggled the whole tortured mess to give overall control to a new agency, the SPA. I know that the embattled democracies have gotten only about 3 per cent of the materials for which con gress appropriated seven billions. I know that this government has dallied so long with the inflation problem that Donald Nelson, the head of priorities, now says it is too late for a ceiling over all prices; that we can only hope to set one for a few. Meanwhile the tense of inflation has changed from future to present. Let taxes go up still more, as they are sure' to do next year, but let them be well spent and let them be spent with foresight, a quality our statesmen presumably possess. Law School Dean Issues Criticism At the Indianapolis, Indiana, convention of the American Bar asociation held September 29 to October 4, Dean Wayne L.
