a cloak of darkness over the north

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

Landers, president of the Oregon

to make any statement upon press

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.

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.

shack as protection for a

Frledrich Wilhelm would be sum-

Consolidation
Asked io Aid
of agriculture when it meets here
June 18. 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.

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 .

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. . ' . .
