Bad Luck Continues to Dom
inate Situation in Far
North Expedition
SEATTLE, Jan. 4. (AP)
The ill-fortune which has domin
ated the search for Pilot Carl Ben
Kielson and Mechanic Earl Bor
land, missing since Nor. 9. again
asserted Itself today when one of
the two powerful Fairchild planes
which took off from Fairbanks,
Alaska, -for Nome this morning to
engage in the search was report
ed overdue.
The information was forwarded
to the Army signal corps office
here from their radio operator at
Fairbanks. The message was
meager and merely stated that one
of the planes was missing some
where between Nulato, 300 miles
west of Fairbanks, and Nome. It
was assumed that the planes flown
by Captain Pat Reid,! Canadian
aviator, and Matt Niemenee, an
Alaskan Pilot, had encountered
heavy weather and that one of
them had returned to Nulato.
Little fear was felt for those
aboard the missing plane, how
ever, as all were accustomed to
winter flying in the far north,
and the planes were well provided
with, food and shelter.
The planes took off from Fair
hanks at 9 a. m., (11 a. m.. Pac
ific time) today and estimated
that they would complete the
flight to Nome in about four
hours. They were favored by fair
weather and a brisk tail wind for
much ot the way, but it was re
ported eloudy at Nome.
Reid had William Hughes and
Jim Hutchingson, mechanics, as
passengers, while Major H. C.
Deckard, in charge of the expedi
tion for the Aviation Corporation,
and Mechanic Sam MacAuley were
in Niemenen's plane. Niemenen is
a flier of long experience in Ala
ska and thoroughly familiar with
the route bewteen Fairbanks and
Nome.

UNIVERSITY O F OREGON,

athletic situation will be on the
campus Monday. The most press

and administrative officials are
the settlement of Captain John J,
MeEwan's contract and the sign

Captain McEwan, who resigned
as head coach with the resigna

the next football season, will ar
rive here Monday. The athletic
committee and the executive
council of the associated students,
however, countered the coach's
resignation and requested his im

stability of the Oregon athletic
policy for next season. McEwan,
at present, is reported on a
hunting trip near The Dalles, the

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. (AP)
The automobile ot 1930, stream
lined, low slung, rakishly .painted,
and equipped with all the newest
gadgets for speed and luxury,
made its bow to the public here
today.
With more than 300 new car
and chassis models on display
the national automobile show
opened in Grand Central Palace.
It will close a week from tonight.
pack up and move on to Chicago,
to open there January 25.
Thirty years ago, the first auto
mobile show was held, in old
Madison Square Garden. On ex
hibit there, were 31 "horseless car
riages." Fewer than 5,000 cars
had been manufactured that year.
In the United States during 1929
about 5,000,000 passenger ears
and 650,000 trucks were built.
Manufacturers' Attention
Tama to Fine Details
Back in 1900 the problem of
"getting the things to run" was
the chief concern of manufac
turers. Nowadays, however it Is
generally taken for granted that
an automobile will have plenty of
power and speed. So manufac
turers have turned to the business
of making them beautiful.
Slim as a greyhound is the new
aristocrat of the highway, long of
body and low. Lowest ot all are
the front wheel drive designs,
around which great crowds of vis
itors hovered today. To sit In one
of these cars is almost like sitting
In an old fashioned bob sled. The
floor is hardly two feet above the
ground.
Enamel Perfected to
Do Awa With Fading?
And there has been developed a
new kind of enamel that won't
fade, with the result that it now
is practicable to have one s car
painted baby blue, or rose color,
or jade green. While Interior dec
orators and Jewelers have worked
on the upholstering and fittings,
artists have appnea tne paint.
Lined up against backgrounds
of gorgeous tapestry, were a town

Metal trimmings, dashboard fix

es, and other trinkets are more
elaborate than ever before, In
closed cars, a new kind of lighting
fixture has been introduced. It
has a tiny parchment shade, and
is pulled on and off by a little
chain.
There are numerous mechanical
innovations, too, besides the front
wheel drive. There are motors
with four cylinders, six cylinders,
eight cylinders, and one model

ttoard of control of the state high
school athletic association to in
terfere with any of the contracts
which high schools throughout

Springfield high to continue their
present coaching arrangements

To Play in Tourney
An Invitation to Salem high to
participate in the state tourna
ment, regardless of its season re
cord, was wired to Superinten
dent George W. Hug Saturday by
the board. Inasmuch as the
tournament is held In Salem, the
local high school will be regarded
as the "host" Bchool.
There will be 12 teams In the
tournament; which means that
district No. 7 will be represented
by some other school than Salem
high, and that one Portland team
will be entered.
Appreciation of Salem high
school's hospitality to the visit
ing teams in the past was express
ed by the board, and also appre
ciation of the excellent manner in
which the tournament has always
been conducted- by Willamette un
iversity.
Mr. Gary stated Saturday that
he would confer this week with
R. S. Keene, athletic director, and
Lestle Sparks, graduate manager
at Willamette, on preliminary
plans for the state tournament.

By RALPH CURTIS
The scenery Is all In position
for the annual "bli show" taea
by the city council, a show other
wise known as the annual meet
ing, and the curtain will be rur,; ,
up, figuratively speaking, prompt
ly at 8 o'clock Monday night in
the council chamber.
For that matter the council has
put on some pretty snappy enter
tainments in the year whih has
intervened since the last annual
meeting, but Mouday night's evnt
is expected to outdo not only the
best of these, but to eclipse maay
of the annual meetings of
past.
One of the early acts in this
great spectacle has been arranged
by the newly created committee
on committeess. This one has
been rehearsed, so It is expected
to proceed smoothly. It will con
sist in the reading of the list ot
standing committees for the year.
hich naturally is a matter f

also to certain paid city official?,.
Leading Role Xo Longer
Filled by Mayor -
Heretofore thig'act has bn
tacked on at the end of the meet
ing and has been a "solo in oae,"
to continue the theatrical figure
of speech, put on by the mayor.
Mayor LIvesley's tendency to hsxd
all of the important assignments
to a few staunch friends irked the
council majority, so the council
created the committee on commit
tees, which has pledged itself te
deal out Jobs more democratically.
It is of some significance tbat
this act has been placed early on
the program. It ha been charred
that the mayor purposely delayed
it until the end so that he could
hold it as a club over the alder
men to force them to elect web
city officers as he favored. The
new rule specifically requires the
committee on committees to re
port before the officers are
elected.
City Attorney Chair
