Degrees And Diplomas
Presented At Kimball
Commencement festivities for
Kimball School of Theology, pos
sibly the last ones which that In
stitution will ever know were
concluded yesterday, with the
21st annual graduation program
held in the afternoon at the First
Methodist church, and the yearly
alumni reunion, an event of last
sight and held at the Jason Lee
church.
In keeping with the spirit
which was in the background of
this commencement, the oldest
member of the Kimball faculty,
Prof. E. 8. Hammond, who is end
ing his 20th year of service to
the school, delivered the com
mencement address to the 14
graduates.
Prof,- Hammond reviewed the
work of the school since its foun
dation, recounted the successes
pupils as a whole had made and
s&rk the school has mad In
the ministerial world through its
students and graduates. Ho re
lated briefly the many aspects
taken of the preacher and his re
lation to society, but cautioned
the graduates that "the faith of
your people is the bridge pn which
they pass .to God. You may help
them to replace the old with a
worthier structure; but woe to
you if the superficiality of a lit
tle superior knowledge yon tear
down a faith you are not able to
replace."
Counselling that perhaps minis
ters are using the wrong methods
in reaching the public now. Prof.
Hammond spoke: "Fifty odd
years ago here in Oregon I saw
churches or school houses packed
night after night with people com
ing over roads in open wagons,
through pouring rains, to attend
revival meetings. Today they will

on what action should be taken
as the result or the southern
Methodist bishop's refusal to an
swer Questions about his 1928
anti-Smith activities and his
abrupt departure from the com
mittee room Thursday.
A formal meeting of the eonv
mittee has been called for tomor
row and renewed attempts will be
made then to reach an agreement.
A number of proposals have been
advanced but each has encoun
tered opposition, support for the
belief the committee may Inquire
further into Cannon's political
activities was seen in a trip to
New York by John Holland, a
committee investigator, to obtain
additional information regarding
contributions made to Cannon
during the 1928 presidential cam
paign by E. C. Jameson, a New
York capitalist.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, said the committee had not
decided to make additional In
quiries but it wanted the infor
mation if it should do so. Hol
land is expected back tomorrow.
At the same time, Walsh said
he favored asking the senate for
specific authority to Inquire into
political activities. At least two
of the five committee members
were opposed to this plan and it
was uncertain whether it would
be adopted.
If the senate did grant specific
authority. Cannon would have to
be subpoenaed unless he appeared
voluntarily. When he walked
out. on the committee he said he
would not answer more questions
unless subpoenaed.
Caraway, who was absent when
Cannon defied the committee.
Bald he had evolved a plan for
dealing with the bishop but he
would not divulge its nature. It
is expected to be reported at the
meeting tomorrow.

Conference Is Called At In
dependence Today to
Plan Control
Downy mildew, which has been
discovered by T. A. Livesley in
his hop field here, comes as a gen
uine threat to the hop industry of
the valley. The fungus Is kwown
in Europe and has been prevalent
in British Columbia for several
years past; but this is the first
year that It has appeared in the
Willamette valley.
According to Mr. Livesley, the
control consists In giving the hop
leaves a complete cover spray of
Bordeaux mixture. Several sprays
a year are necessary because the
plant keeps growing and every
unsprayed portion of the foliage
becomes a host for the flying
spores.
Several other hop yards have
been found suffering from the
pest. A speeial meeting of hop
men has been called for Indepen
dence this afternoon at 1:30 at
the First National Bank there to
discuss control measures. Counjy
Agent Beck of Polk county is
calling the meeting.
High Humidity Is
Cause of Spread
"Downy mildew thrives In times
of high humidity" said Mr.
Livesley. "Spores light on the un
der side of the leaf and incubate
there for five or six days. The
leaf turns black and then spores
are ready to be carried in the air
to other leaves. In dry weather
they may lie dormant for a time
awaiting damp cloudy weather
which encourages them to grow.
Ordinarily the Willamette valley
Is not subject to the pest because
our humidity here is relatively
lower during the growing season."
Consistent Spraying
Held Only Hope
The spraying has to be done
carefully; and has. to be followed
up. In British Columbia they
spray right after training the
vines, and sometimes apply four
or five sprays a season. Both the
spray and the laBbr cost run high
and will add greatly to the pro
duction cost of hops.
One hop field near Salem, the
Williams and Thacker six-acre
field is reported to have been
badly damaged by the downy mil
dew. Hop men are setting crews at
work to clean up their fields In
protection against the pest. Oth
ers who have been watching their
fields declare they have not de
tected it as yet.
BODY OF HERBERT

Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Ross, 249
South 17th, were still hoping last
night for recovery of the body of
their 17-year-old-twn, Bertram,
drowned shortly after noon Sun

Bertram, who had two more
years of sturdy at the local high
school, was playing in the ocean
with two companions, while his
father and mother, sister Maxine,
and aunt, Mrs. Maude Ringo,
were some distance back on the
beach.
His father noted the two boys
leave Bertram and walk farther
up the beacb, and casting an eye
at l is son, received a smile and
flick of the hand which in no
way resembled a distress signal.
Looking again at the boys up the
beach, and back to where his tfon
had been, he discovered the boy
had apparently been swept away.
Helpless to do anything against
the power of the ocean, the par
ents have had to wait, hoping that
their son's body will come In short

According to people who know

the tragedy occurred, may have"
carried the body out a distance of
about five miles. In which event it
would take several tides to bring
it back. It not recevered on the

seven to nine days for the corpse
to float in.
