r W 10A Southern California Yields to Willamette in Dal 1 las Contest Jack Routh and Charles Camp- nail. Willamette university debat art. won a 2-1 decision over Ore mb Bants and Milton Dickens of the Unhrerslty of Southern Califor nia la a debate held Wednesday afternoon at the Dallas high cbooL R. It. Turner of Dallas was chairman at the debate, and Professors Berreman, Santee and Stebbins of the Oregon Normal school were Judges. The California debaters were nun with wide, experience In de tote and other forensic activities. They are making a tour, of the coast states, and the debate with Willamette . university was the first In which they hare been defeated. Monday they won emanlmous Judges' decision over Oregon State college. From here they will go to the University of Washington, and then Idaho and ' Utah. - They will be at Moscow, : Idaho, next week to participate In : the Pacific Coast oratorical and extemporaneous speaking con Bests. Temporary Insanity Qaestlon The Question for debate was the so of the plea of temporary in- i sanity as a defense of crime. Jack ftonth of Willamette opened the debate, carefully avoiding news paper comment on the abuse of this plea and confining his test! tony to statements made by doc tors, lawyers and psychiatrists. This was not the procedure ex neeted by Rauts of California, and rather crippled his opening speech, Am a second bit of strategy, Camp bell of Willamette presented plan proposed by Curtis D. Wilbur, formerly chief Justice of the Cal Ifornla supreme court. Mr. Dick ens of California, though a clever speaker, was also taken by sur prise and tried vainly to refute the plan. Rebuttal Humorous Rebuttals on both sides took a humorous trend. The Callfor- nlans made facetious remarks about the Oregon weather they were encountering, and referred Jestingly to the necessity for wear ing overcoats In March. fot to be outdone, the Willamette debaters made capital of the fact that It was amusing to hear one Callfor Ian tell that the plan of another Californlan was no good. "We of the state of Oregon believe that oar friend Mr. Wilbur of Callfor nla has suggested a good plan and Is no fool." declared Charles Campbell in his final speech. ' Tonight the Willamette men will debate with the University of Arisona at the Chemawa Indian school, and Friday night will meet the team from the University of Wyoming In Waller hall. The Wil lamette men were quite happy over the decision Wednesday af teraoon, as the debate was the first collegiate decision debate they had entered.

Or. n wins COM S MEET !New President DescnbedModt Mait Without Ostentation Som Found Interview First of Series bers of Cabinet as Topics for Future Assignments By CHARLES P. STEWART Waatdgton CrtaoBdeait for Central Press and Stateaaaan - ' A8HINOT O N . Mar. 17. Her bert Hoover la the most unas suming, mod est. Individual ly self-effacing pre l d n t W a a h 1 ngton has seen in re eent times perhaps the most so of any president the country ever had. Certainly n o president ever was freer from official airs that would be impossible. Mr. Hoover simply Is without any such ostentation whatever. Mr. Coolldge was not a bit puffed up on his own account, but he was conscious of the def erence which he evidently con sidered his position entiled to. For instance when the Neaf Englander emerged from the se-. elusion of his private office into the big waiting room for visitors, at the executive end of the Whits which always is to be fonnd there during business hours, to take due notice of, his appearance. Until his last caller bad risen, uncov ered and coma to some sort of attention, the chief magistrate invariably paused significantly, to give the offender time to come to a realisation of his error which he did speedily, because his gaucheris made him unpleasantly conspicuous. Doe Not Want TJmelight Mr. Hoover appears to shrink from any form of special recog nition of himself or his office. If he has occasion to mix with the throng In his ante-chamber he actually Is in the midst of his guests before they are fairly aware of his presence there. His Informality is obviously trying to the White House staff's sense of the proprieties. There was an Illustration of it the very afternoon after the In auguration ceremonies. The out er ofice fat the executive man sion was filled with callers, lounging comfortably on chairs and tables, mostly with hats on, smoking and chatting as casual ly as in a hotel lobby. Suddenly, "Gentlemen. the president!" called Secretary George Akerson, excitedly. Too late. Mr. Hoover already was on the scene, bound for the the open air to have his picture shot, with a visiting delegation. A smile and a nod from him and he was outside. Not a soul had risen. Not a hat was doffed. Not clgaret puff was omitted. It was too rapid. The roomful merely stared blankly at the pres ident, a good deal embarrassed. Presently back he came, the same way not only implying no wish for a demonstration, but rather conspicuously trying to be quick endugh to escape one. Some people believe all thl9e is because Mr. Hoover wants t o avoid being known as a person ality wants. Instead, to be re gardedas an abstraction a sym bol of government. However, he did not behave so at the first Interview he granted to the Washington correspondents this, too, was the day after his Inauguration. Very Human, Reasonable On the contrary, he was thor oughly human again and very likeable. There was one while, it should be said, when Mr. Hoover aston ished the correspondents, and scared them badly. They were astonished because, as secretary of commerce, they always found him extremely ap proachable and friedly. Follow ing his return from Florida, he seemed a different being. Shut up in his S street home, he wr)r as inaccessible as the grand lama of Tibet. The correspondents were scared because - a president who Is too. high and mighty to meet the newspaper folk vresenta a crave J ournalistfc problem.

At his initial press reception Mr. Hoover allayed nil such anxiety. Silence Explained His explanation was as logical as any chronicler could have asked maybe we should have thought of it earlier his Inabil ity to speak for publication, aa prsident-elect, with President Coolldge still in office, as respon sible head of the government. 4 As president himself. Mr. Hoov er 1 the original Mr. Hoover once more. Indeed, his assurance that he Intends not only to continue thfe White House "press conferences" but to amplify them, was more than the writing fraternity had hoped for. a a a If, on the one ahnd, there if nothing awe-inspiring about Mr. Hoover as president, neither, on the other hand, does he show the least sign of being bowed down under the weight of responsibil ity. He plainly considers him self fuHy competent to handle the tasks ahead of him cool and col lectedat ease behind the execu tive desk and at home in t& White House. He fits naturally Into his environment. There is little in him to hint at the stern national boss. His features are somewhat crudely carved, as his pictures bulging' forehead and a face com pacted together between them flattened at the poles, so to speak homely. In fact, but amiable. He smiles very readily, with a peculiar sweetness, like the early morning's a smile with a hint in it of an appeal for good will. The new president is soft- spoken but his remarks' quality is managerial. They are the remarks of a man who means to run things to do it pleasantly If possible, but to do It, anyway. It is not permissible to quote the president, but, In a general way, what our latest chief execu tive talks about relates more to the Individual American's duties than to such rights as he may claim to liberty, not to mention the pursuit of happiness. HORNER TO TELL OF MOIiSJ VALLEY Chemeketans Sunday to Join With Portland, Cor vallis Outfits Salem Chemeketans will visit. six prehistoric mounds on the Cal apoola.near Tangent as the feat ure of a hike to occur next Sun day. Professor J. B. Horner of O. S. C, who probably knows as much about the mounds as any living person, will be the guest of the local outdoor club for the trip and will give a talk at one of the mounds. Route for the hike was scouted Sunday by the leaders, J. E. Blink horn and A; H. Julien. They re port the hike will be partly along woodland trails and partly through open woods. It will not be a difficult hike, but those who go are urged to wear waterproofed shoes, particularly if it rains this week. Many Flowers Found The leaders report that on the scouting trip the woods were found to contain six different va rieties of wild flowers, an unusual variety of trees and birds and wooded folk enough to present enjoyment to any outdoor lover.

Oregon, Thursday Morning. March 21, 1929 Lie IS FELT Wall Street Reacts as Rate Advances to Nine Per Cent Yesterday NEW YORK. Mar. 20. CAP) Extreme sensitiveness of the call money market thoroughly unsettl ed the stock market today, ak though industrial news in the main continued highly favorable, and pools were able to make substan tial headway in s3hje parts of the list, particularly tfie oils. Call money renewed at f per cent and rose to 10, although call ing of loans was nominal. Such scarcity of money, with slight withdrawals, caused considerable apprehension as to what would happen should-banks or corpora tions find occasion to wlhtdraw large sums. Cotton Prlcee Advance An important feature of the day's news was the final govern ment 1928 cotton crop report, which was lower than expected, and resulted in advances of 81.50 to $2.00 a bale in cotton futures, which, however, brought out hea vy profit' taking. The steel trade reviews were again highly opti mistic. A less favorable develop ment was a sharp reduction in freight car loadings for the week ending March 9. A curious development of the day's trading was that the old Radio stock, in which trading will be permanently discontinued Fri day, failed to appear on the tape, probably for the first time since it wal listed. The nearest it came to a sale was 840 asked and 425 bid, as compared to yesterday's close of 485. Most of the issue has probably already been converted Into new stock, which sold down about 4 points to 924, but closed at 94. Oil Quotations Mount In the oils, which were stimu lated by reports that the curtail ment measure in the Salifornla legislature is expected to pass within 60 days, and expectations of progress in curtailment plans for both domestic and foreign fields, Standard of California mounted about 5 points to a new peak and Standard of New Jersey and Shell Union nearly duplicated their previous highs for the year.
