S. C. President Hits University "Misstatements" . SALEM,, ' April 30 (P) W. J. Kerr, ' preakleht of Oregon State coIIcro, In ft uppiementary brief filed with the Btotfl boarU of higher cducntlon yes terday, criticised the University of Oregon lor "mlflatntements of fact ana some serious Implications reflect ing upon the good faith of the Insti tution," in the university's 12 briefs presented to tne uoam April 20, President Arnold Bennett Hall of the university, and Kerr both ap peared before the board here at that tlhie to present Ideas to aid In a con structive policy to eliminate dupli cation and to reduce expenditures. The board set yesterday as the time ' to act upon the Issue, but the ses sion was postponed. Kerr, In his brief, Baldi "At the conference of April 20, the univer sity of Oregon presented 12 separate 1 .briefs, including therein, ulong with ensentlal arguments, numerous criti cisms of the college, misstatements of fact, and some serious implications reflecting upon the good faith of the Institution. The colleue can hardly do otherwise than give some atten tion to these criticisms and lmplica- tions as wen as to the arguments of tne oriels. "In reading the Introduction to the university's brief, one is struck with the sweeping character of statements made," Kerr's statement continues,' "One Is struck with the facility with which the introduction applies to the college and its work, or to the re lations botween the college and the university, such Invidious terms as 'pretext,' 'disguised,' 'smuggled,' 'for bidden fields,' 'undue expansion,' 'exaggerated development,' 'feverish rivalry,' and "irritating situation.' Without exception these Implications, are flung out with no supporting evidence whatsoever," The brief then replies to all argu ments presented by the university in cluding subjects taught at both In stitutions. Detailed consideration Is i U 1 veil all major subjects In tho brief wmcn covered 11a pnges. ''The college has always conformed to the rulings of tho board of higher curricula and the state board or high er education in a spirit of absolute fidelity," Kerr stated. "Completely occupied in developing lis work on Its assigned fields, It has not been aware of either 'outside acrimony,' or of the 'irritating situation' that the university complains or, except as these have been thrust into view by action of the university Itself." $ $ Sport Slants By Ainu .1. fionld n,r (Associated Press Sports Editor)' It seemed about tlmo for tills oper ative to report in detail on tho aetl vltles of a portly gentleman named Ruth. Anyway, It was a Dleasunt spring day calculated to lead monyi a taxleab to tho Yankee Stadium. .( . As we arrived at tho outset of -hos tilities, Mr. Ruth was Just taking, p, futile third swing at tho rluht-handeH smoko blown in his direction . by George Livingston Earnshaw, a world sorlcs hero no longer ago than last October. i ! That sound wo dotectod from ithe right field bleachora obviously wos of a derisive character as the Babe trotted out to his place in the sun. Ho has heard it beforo and sccined not tho least annoyed. Three InnlnKS later with the A's leading 4-0 and a mate on first; Ruth swung once and missed with great gusto then swung again and con nected. High up Into tho right field crowd soared tho ball, followed by a tremendous roar. Twice more the Babe came to bat with a man on base and two runs needed to glyo tho Ynnkeos a winning lead. A towering fly wasted tho first cliunce, then with two strikes on him ho caught one of Earnshaw's fast ones. The telltale crook sounded. Again the ball sulled high Into the stands; again the tumult and the shouting. Tho old man had broken up the ball game single-handed with a brace of blows that seemed symbolic of. a numoor ot tilings, among tliemi ,-. 1. That the now ball, when sotldlv smacked, will travol as far as. ..the Ruthlan drives of old. 2. That the Babo, with an extension of his MO.OOO contract to be con sidered, is off on another big year 3 3 $ 3 0 0 8 Chats With I Parents S 3 3 $ $ Investigate Story of Slain Husband DECATUR, Tonn., April 30 (,11 A story of how a mountain woman and her lover killed her husband by pierc ing hlB heart with a hatpin and then hacked the body to pieces was under official Investigation yesterday. Prank Thornton. 16, told the siory to a squire's court. He said tho slay ing took placo last (nil, but he had not told the story sooner for fear of his second cousin, lludle Hickman, 36. and Mrs. William Bunch. 33. Thornton testified that he went to the Bunch home. 12 miles from bore, early one morning and there found Mrs. Bunch and Hickman cutting up a booy, Tho pulr, he said, drew guns on him and did not allow him to leavo until ho sobbed an oath that lie would never tell what ho had seen. Mrs. Bunch denied the youth's al legations and said that her husband disappeared several months ago. she was bound over to the criminal court. Hickman's hearing was delayed on his lih that he wished to await the arrival of his father before facing the court, sTii.i, Tin: mo ham Ruth's home run act remains the greatest one man show in baseball. Often as this and other operatives liavo seen it put on, there Is still a thrill in the big fellow's rythmic swing, faultless timing and follow through. The masses continuo to manifest a scml-hystorla whenever tho Big Bam connects, A ceremony of. haudker chief waving awaits tho Babe In the right field bleachers after every poke into this favorite homo run territory of the Yankeo Stadium. So long as tills unquestioned appeal to the box o((lco oxlsta, and it semis to have lost none of its potency, the magnates will do no great amount 6 tampering with the ball calculated to minimize the histrionic qualities of the game's most eminent actor. ; 1 War Victim Has a Checkered Career LOCKPORT, N. Y April 30 (Pi A victim of shell-shock while serving with tho Canadian army during the World war, Ralph H. Thurbor, now In a Cleveland hospital, has had a check ered career during the past ten years. Tho publicity ho received as a re sult of his claim that lie was suffer ing from distonilasls, a somewhat rare disease caused by eating raw fish In the tropics, was equalled in March, 1B29, when he created a sensation by confessing, made while he was In a British prison, that ho was a partici pant In the Wall street bombing of September 10. 1020, in which 30 per sons were killed. Falsity of the bombing confession was established when a check up ot Ills record showed that hp was In Son Quentln prison, California, at the time. KI'TII-KAIINSIIAW Tll.TS Earnshaw, the victim of Ruth's first double-barreled blast of tho 1031 sea son, failed to protlt from Ills experi ences of last season. On two sepa rate and distinct occasions of tho 1030 campaign tho Big Mooso of tho A.'s was combed by Ruth for a brace of round trip blows, so that Cleorge Llv. Ingston Earnwhaw'B cmburrassmapt well can be Imagined when Cleorge; Herman Rulh again smote him twice in the same spot. All told, In compe tition with the two aces ot Connie Mack's "lull house," Ruth has hit Earnshaw for seven hoiiifrs in three years and Robert Moses Grove for six circuit clouts In five seasons. NAMES Hy Alice .Indsoii Penle Children often suffer acutely from little things of which their parents are not even aware. Affcctlonato family nicknames or fancy names aro among the things .which often make lifo harder than it need be. Tho fancy name mav have been sincerely chosen, but tho boy or girl wuu must carry ii, ana lor whom It is probably highly Inappropriate as well, is actually handicapped by It. Ho is made to look Just a little bit silly to overybody. Pet names and baby names cling-! Ing tenaciously into tho school years! sometimes cause the child to suffer teasing from his playmates. A child nappiest u no carries a name which does not set him apart un necessarily and thereby make Mm look foolish in the eyes of others. In ultra-modern families there is a tendency to discard tho conventional "Mother" and "Father" for tho given name. A mother teaching her child to call her by her first name liiincliics perhaps that by that fact she is es tablishing a comradeship. She forgets that gcuulns companionship cannot uupeuu upon anyening so superficial. j no uamo Mocner" nas a conno tullon of lovo and security which is uniquo in human experience and which Is a part of ovcry child's birth right. It Is porhaps not too far fetched to guess that the modern mother who trains her child to call her by her first name does bo bocausc she herself, in part at least, resents the role of motherhood. Viewed in this light such a mother can only bo regarded as immature and inadequate for her task.

' ' The secretary of stato's message was part of the celebration of the thirti eth birthday anniversary of Emperor Hirohlto.

MIt is a great satisfaction to me, on this day of rejoicing in Japan, to speak a few" words to the Japanese people, our friendly neighbors across tho Pacific ocean. We worked cor dially together last year in London to bring about a limitation of naval armament and our success there proves our confidence in each other.
