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.

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

It was this that they feared

It caused a deal ef gossip in
newspaper circles even in con

At his initial press reception
Mr. Hoover allayed nil such

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

tasks ahead of him cool and col

He smiles very readily, with a
peculiar sweetness, like the early

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

Route for the hike was scouted
Sunday by the leaders, J. E. Blink

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

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

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

legislature is expected to pass
within 60 days, and expectations
of progress in curtailment plans
