com mission in its plans for enter
taining the legionnaires of Ore
gon here August 8, 9 and 10, was
given Tuesday when the commis
sion announced that the pledges to
underwrite the convention had
reached the original goal. $25,600.
Nevertheless the campaign of
underwriting the event will con
tinue, members of the comtnl5?!on
stated at the meeting of Capital
Post No. 9 Tuesday night. A new
goal of $35,000 has been establish
ed. Individual Obligations
Wll Be Cut Down
The reason tor this Is that in
ease there is any deficit incident
to the convention something that
is not anticipated a larger vol
ume of pledges will mean a cor
respondingly smaller assessment
upon the perrons underwriting the
event- For example. If the guar
antees mount to $35,000 and there
should be a $$600 deficit, the in
dividual who pledged ?100 will be
called upon for $10.
All of the recent convention",
held in smaller and less centrally

paid their own way, the members
of the commission explain. -

Resignation of Rector An

Now Demanded
MEXICO CITY. June 11
(AP) Two thousand striking
students this afternoon took pos
session of the national university
and seized several officials as
hostages for the resignation of
Rector Antonio Castro Leal,
which they had demanded. The
hostages offered no resistance
and there was no violence.
A permanent guard of 100
strikers was placed over the
building until such time as their
demands are met Those seised
were Secretary General Daniel
Coslo Villegas of the university;
Director Alfonso Caso of the na
tional preparatory school and
several university professors.
The guard will be changed by
the students every eight hours.
The supreme strike committee has
set up headquarters in the uni
versity building and announced
that lt would meet there In con
tinuous session.
Monthly Examinations
Cause of Discontent
The students have been on
strike, primarily because monthly
examinations were substituted for
term examinations, for about a
month. It had been thought that
the trouble was settled through
the intervention of President Por
tes Gil who obtained permission
from congress to declare the uni
versity and autonomous instruc
tion free from the control hither,
to exercised by the department of
public instructions.
The president refused to order
resignation of the rector and the
students declined to compromise.
They got together today and went
in a body to the university but
did not find the rector in his of
fice. They then decided to hold
the building with those officials
found there until be complies
with their demand, j
As further proof of their, de
termination, the student guard
decided to go without food dur
ing each eight hours of duty.

RULES JOGGESTED
Visiting Teacher Method Is
Recommended by Hug at
School Board . Meet
Truancy cases in the Salem
school district should be handled
by a visiting teacher, and prefer
ably a woman, for most succesful
results, rather than by a truant
officer working as a policeman,
Superintendent George W. Hug
told the school board at last
night's board meeting. Truancy,
in this manner, would be handled
from within the school and ab
sence from school without cause
thus often prevented before it was
accomplished. Hug said in sub
stance. The board took the recom
mendation under advisement.
Mr. Hug stated that his recom
mendation in no way reflected
upon tbe work of John W. Marr,
present truant officer and census
taker, but that he felt tbe newer
method of handling such cases
was better. Should such a change
be made, it would be Hug's recom
mendation that Mr. Marr be con
tinued as census taker, as the
board readily asserted his work
on the census was the best the dis
trict has ever had.

HOOVER GALLS
MEETING OVER
FARMAID DILL
Leaders of Congress Reach
Agreement indicating
Early Legislation
Prompt Action by President
Averts Serious Crisis
at U. S. Capital
By FRANCIS L STEPHEXSOS
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, June 11.
(AP) Aroused by the senate's re
jection of the administration's
farm relief bill. President Hoover
assembled leaders of congress at
the White House tonight and se
cured an agreement which they
predicted would result In early en
actment of the farm legislation de
sired by the chief executive.
The plan adopted called for a
vote In the house directly upon the
export debenture plan, thus -fulfilling
the demand of advocates of
the proposal in the senate that it
should not be eliminated until the
house had expressed Itself. The
vote would come upon a question
of instructing house members of
the Joint conference committee te
Insist upon the elimination of de
bentures.
Crisis Approaches
Rapidly at Capital
The gathering at the White
House came at the close of a day
in which developments In the farm
relief situation followed each oth
er in rapid succession. First a co
alition of democrats and republi
can Independents In the senate
overrode the president's views for
a secoriV time by disapproving the
farm bill from which the deben
ture plan had been eliminated by
the Joint conference committee
No sooner had word of this re
sult been transmitted to the
White House than Mr. Hoover is
sued a statement declaring the
vote only added further delay in
the enactment of farm relief leg
islation and possibly had gravely
jeopardised the passage of any ag
ricultural measure. He reiterated
his opposition to the debenture
plan. Describing It as a subsidy
which, would bring disaster to the
farmer.
Agreement Reached At
Meeting With Hoover
Word was then sent to the
leaders In congress to meet with
him at the White House and af
ter the situation was thoroughly
examined the agreement for a
vote In the house on debentures
was reached. This decision coupled
with a declaration by Senator Rob
inson of Arkansas, the democratic
leader, whose party group would
not insist upon, this provision If
the house turned lt down by a roll
call vote.
The White House conference
was attended by Senator Watson
of Indiana, the republican leader.
Senators McNary of Oregon, 'Who
is in charge of farm legislation in
the senate, Moses of New Hamp
shire , Edge of New Jersey and
Reed of Pennsylvania, and Speak
er Longworth, Representative Til-
son of Connecticut, the republican
bouse leader, and Chairman Snell
of the house rules committee. Sec
retaries Hyde and Good and Wal
