MSB MISSING AFTER 3S III1S Has Fuel for 17 Hours More If Still Aloft; Word Entirely Lacking (By the Associated Press) The fleeting hours that brought a cloak of darkness over the north Atlantic last night incribeel ten tatively, at least on the long list of missing fliers the name of Stanislaus Felix Hausner, the non committal Newark, N. J., aviator. Thirty-five hours after he lifted his four-year old red monoplane from the 3500 foot concrete run way of Floyd Bennett field, New York, the 31 year old Polish Am erican was unreported either on land or sea. He had. hoped to reach London in 31 hours. r In the British isles and ' in France, beacons cut welcoming ribbons of light in the darkness. At Croyden airdrome, near London, a group of aviation en thusiasts waited silently beneath an overcast sky which sent down a patter of rain. The watch was duplicated at LeBourget field in Paris and Le Touquet where 125 air fans inqired anxiously for word. Meanwhile, at Newark, Mrs. Martha Hausner, the flier's attrac tive young bride of a year, con tinned the prayers for his safety she had said intermittently since she waved him a cheery farewell shortly after the takeoff at 8:46 a.m. (eastern standard time) Fri day. Landers Refuses To Discuss Case MONMOUTH, June 4 J. S. Landers, president of the Oregon normal school here, refused today to make any statement upon press stories of an alleged Insult to Thomas H. Gentle, ex-director of training schools. Gentle was de nied the right to talk at the grad uation exercises of the junior high school in an eleventh-hour message sent by school officials through the school principal. Successor to To be Selected Monday A busy session is in sight tor the city council at its meeting Monday night Most important of the business which Is'expected to develop is the selection of a new councilman to succeed Watson Townsend who is expected to re sign as a result of the state high way commission's recent order that Its employes take no part is political activities. Most talked ot candidates are Ralph Kletxing, un successful candidate for the coun cil ln.Townsend's ward at the May 20 election, and Clifford Moynl han, local attorney. One new, face will be on the council Monday In the person ot Rev. S. Henderson who defeated W. D. Evans at the last election. Under the law the newly elected councilman takes office immedi ately following election when he has defeated a candidate who was appointed. Evans was appointed to fill out Ellis Pnrvine's term on the council. Approval ot a change in the city bus line franchise Is expected, permitting SO-minute service daily after 8 p.m. and on Sundays and holidays. - Only the bus company's representatives appeared before to invade the national capital is 11 CALL BONUS VOTE ISHRED But House may Adjourn ere Date set; Vets now at Washington 1728 WASHINGTON, June 4 (AP) A roll call vote In the house June 13 on the soldiers' bonus. unless adjournment Intervenes, was assured tonight while 1728 veterans here from every state in the union to urge cash payment faced a food crisis. A house petition to force a vote received its 145th signature, the total necessary before a roll call could be demanded, with the only Joker" lying in the fact that the house may not be in session June 13. In the meantime, metropolitan police said they had funds suffi clent to feed the bonus marchers now in the district for only 48 more hours. They estimated thetr supplies would be exhausted by Sunday night if 1000 more veter ans enroute to Washington arrive on schedule. The serious food shortage led to immediate plans to evacuate the groups that have settled Jn three camps and hourly were adding to their numbers. The district com missioners decided to ask the marchers to leave Thursday, furn- ishingtrucks to transport them not to exceed 50 miles toward their homes. Those not accepting will have to fend for themselves so far as the commissioners are concerned. The reports of the new march ers yet to come made the position of the metropolitan police almost desperate. On Monday all veter an marchers are to be concentrat ed in semi-open-air quarters near the army airport, Boiling field. Lumber required to build a roofed-over shack as protection for a mere handful against rain and the hot sun was rapidly eating in to to food funds.

(AP) A report that ex -Crown Prince Frledrich Wilhelm would be sum- moned in a few months to head the government as "relchsver- weser," or regent, swept through Germany today as the climax of a week packed with surprising poli tical developments. Several credible sources were authority for this story that the house of Hohenzollern, rulers of Germany for centuries and oust ea ln ena I world war. wa to be recalled One of tnese authorities was the editor of one of the most im portant newspapers in the chain of Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, leader pf tne nationalist party, This editor, himself an influen- tial nationalist, said unequivocally that President Paul von Hinden burg would retire October 2, his 85th birthday, to make way tor the crown prince. Substantially the same story was sent to the Berliner Volk szeltung, a democratic dally, by Its Munich correspondent The correspondent cited his au thority as "one extremely im I portant in the formation of a fu- tare Bavarian government." This person the Volkszeitung said, as- serted the return of the Hohen zollerns would mean an end to the independence of Bavaria.

Gehlhar's letter was in answer to one from Hanzen which suggested that the state fair, an annual event for the past 72 years,' be abandoned this year un less it could be operated without a deficit Gehlhar added further that much of the trimmings could be taken off and the fair be made bigger and better." He said more than 2000 exhibitors desired the fair be held as usual, and other protests have already come In since it was announced the fair may be abandoned. "The fair last year. In spite of handicaps, produced an operating profit. You recall, last fall the premium list exceeded the appro priation therefor by about $11.- 000, which absorbed the profit. Also, interest was paid in full on the fair's bonded debt; "Of course this year we must anticipate reduced aross receipts. Expenses can be reduced accord ingly. By reducing the number of employes at the fair, and paying no more than current rates of wages, the operating cost can be reduced 60 per cent," Gehlhar's letter continued. "Consideration of the elemina- tion of the horse show and races will be referred to the board. I can assure you they will go into the matter very carefully. The horse show last year had a total attendance of close to 6000 peo ple, with a net operating loss of over $7000. The races had a paid attendance last year of 8009 peo ple, with an operating loss or $5000, not counting interest and a number of overhead items. The year before the paid attendance at the races was close to 9000 people, with a deficit of over $7500. "Plans will be submitted to the board of agriculture to make the fair permanently self-sustainins, without curtailing either exhib its or the interests of exhibitors. This can be done and free amuse ments and other features can bo added so that the fair will be bigger and better than ever'." Scout Campaign For Funds Near Two-Thirds Mark The drive for the Boy Scout budget will continue into this week, Tom Windishar. chairman of the finance committee, an nounced yesterday. Sixty per cent of the goal or about $2400 was secured in pledges during the week. Nearly half of the men so licited were found to be out of their oftiees or places of business so many call-backs will- be neces sary. Both Windishar and Tom Delaney, general scout chairman, were pleased with the results ot the week's campaign. Of the budget desired. $2100 Is for Salem's share in the next year's operating expense while $2000 goes to take up a deficit which has been carried over from year to year. The operating bud get for the Cascade council is $4000, nearly half of this amount being raised outside of Salem. President Montero had not resign ed or yielded the presidential oower to the Jnnta. Huge crowds which formed around the palace when soldiers led by Colonel Grove descended upon It were nonplussed . by the coup. The entire Chilean air force, backed by at least the moral sup port of the army and navy, took part la the revolt. Although the leaders announced they would proclaim a socialist republic under Senor Davlla,' la accordance with an Ideal long held by him, some civilian leaders said it was a mere disguise tor a military dictatorship. . The civilian leaders said they clans ed to fulfill threats of complete general strike imme diately,' embracing every civilian activity. XU9ENE ENVOYS TO MEET WITH El Compromise, Perhaps Board Shakeup, is Considered; Official is Silent Hanzen Brandishes Pruning Knife, State Fair Is Under Question By SHELDON F. SACKETT Intervention of J Governor Jul ius L. Meier into impending fijrht for consolidation of the Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State college on the Corvallis campus was asked during the week by certain members of the board of hipher education and other op ponents of the consolidation move. The thought of the petitioners was that Governor Meier should use his office as a means of pla cating the tax leaguers who want the schools merged and of satis fying the university's proponents who will fight the proposal with zeal. It became known Saturday that Governor Meier was considering tne matter carefully. To date he has interfered but little with the ffairs of hieher education, per mitting the board to work into and throueh its problems as best it can. Opponents of the consoli dation move feel that the gover nor would be able to smooth out the troubled waters and prevent the consolidation matter from go ing to the voters. Shakeup in Roard Might Stop Agitation The suggestion has been made that the governor ask the con solidation advocates what lesser ter they would be satisfied with. Hector MacPherson, for example. nas let it be known tbat one rea son he Is in the consolidation camp Is because he feels the mem bership of the board is unsatis factory; it has been proposed tbat snakeup In the higher board might suit MacPherson and some of his co-workers. Governor Meier has kept silent to date on the higher education tangle. Whether he favors consol idation of the schools or not is not certain although he is thought to be unfavorable to the move. Henry Hansen, budget director and advisor of the governor, is known to oppose the consolidation of the two schools. A committee from Eucene. ar- pointed at a public meeting held then- last week, is soon to wait upon the governor. Meanwhile the board is announ cing from day to day through the press t&e formation of its various reorganized schools under the new curriculum program. No progress nas been reported in the auest of a chancellor and Presidents W. J. Ken and Arnold Bennett Hall continue to control their respect ive campuses, if the board If com- pewea io go into tne fight to pre vent the merger of the schools, conditions may be so upset this summer and fall no suitable chan cellor can be obtained and the preeent school heads may be kept on another year until the Novem ber battle is over. Hsnzen Bost With Sharp Pruning Knife Budget Director Hanzen has re sumed during the week his pre viously announced attempts to pare state costs to the bone and io operate not only under the H31 legislative . aDnronriatioBB but to have some residue to turn into tne general fund to cut down the $3,000,000 deficit inherited by the Meier administration. Hansen's seal was undoubted It enhanced by the great reductions in state receipts from excise. In come and inheritance taxes from tne estimates made December. 1131. by the state tax commis sion. These were pointed out dur ing the week by The Statesman. Hansen's fear now is that the re ductions . in these indirect taxes will more than wipe out any oper sting reductions he can effect, leaving the state, not with a sur plus to apply towards the deficit at the end of 1932. but with an additional deficit to add to the $3,000,000 now U existence. , Hansen's letter to Gehlhar du lng the week, questioning the ap propriations necessary for the fair and Insisting that there be bo deficit this year even raising the question of the fair's continuance was Interpreted by some as an SOON attempt on Hansen's part to strike . B kTAW Calo. V Jit tinning a yearly project which meant much to tUs community. Hansen denied such a motive. He declared be wanted the fair eon- tinned,- u possible, eat ne wanted every expense checked . and , the , fair budget balanced so when the 1132 show ..was . over the fair managers . would . not . report a mounting deficit. .
