Hearing of reports of officers

ret for next year, and discussion
of problems respecting the lav
school were the chief features of
the annual meeting, of the board
of trustees held all day yesterday
at Eaton hall. About 3D members
were in attendance. The board
on recommendation of the faculty
conferred degrees of bachelor of
arts on 83 seniors, awarded de
grees of bachelor of laws to ten
music diploma to two, and master
of arts to one. These will be for

In rlew of reports that Wil
lamette university was interested
in promoting the proposed initia
. tlve measure on consolidation of
the state higher educational in- j
' stitutlons and locating the univer-
eity law school in Salem, the
board adopted a resolution dis
claiming any responsibility for
the initiative or sympathy with it.
Non-Controversial .
Resolution Adopted -
The matter was brought up by
R. A. Booth of Eugene at the re
quest of the executive committee
whose proposals condemned the
initiative measure and urged sup
port of the program of the state
board of higher education. The
resolution which was adopted
however, was designed to set
forth Willamette's own position
in the matter without partisian
ship, and was as follows:
"Whereas, the name of Willam
ette university has been associ
ated in the press with the pro
posed Initiative measure for the
consolidation of the University of
Oregon and Oregon State college
on the one campus at Corvallis,
and
"Whereas, Willamette univer
sity has been connected in no way
officially or unofficially with the
sponsorship of thi3 measure.
"Now, therefore, be it resolved,
that the board of trustees of Wil
lamette university disclaim any
responsibility for or sympathy
with the movement for the physi
cal consolidation of these insti
tutions." Law School Details
Loft to Committee
The report of the committee on
the law school precipitated a
lengthy discussion. The commit
tee recommended employing a
dean and professor of law and
supplementing the staff with lo
cal attorneys. Others urged that
full-time instructors be secured
and effort made to standardize
the school more quickly. Final
decision was to leave the matter
for the law committee to report
to the executive committee for
final action.
The unanimous expression was
favorable to support and develop
ment of the law school. The res
ignation of Dean R. R. Hewitt,
head of the law school for five
years, was accepted. No success
or was named, but those under
consideration were stated as Prof.
Roy Lochenaur and C. M. Inman,
both of whom are instructors in
the law school.
Salary reductions approximat
ing 15 percent were ordered, and
will "apply in varying percentages
throughout the entire staffs This
with other economies will enable
the university to balance its bud

belief expressed by Mr. Booth of

Indications point to acute need
among hundreds of people during
next fall and winter. There is al
ways the possibility that a reversal
of the business tde will call men
back into employment; but it is
Improbable that this will . occur
with sufficient acceleration to re
lieve distress in the months imme
diately ahead. Salem is a com
munity should plan to provide em
ployment at worthy labor for its
residents who would otherwise be
without Jobs. The best chance of
doing this lies in proceeding with
the waterworks construction
wtiich was authorized at the ,city
election last December.
At that election the voters by
a majority vote approved a bond
issue of $2,500,000. The voters,
also expressed a preference for the
Little Fork of the Santiam as a
source of supply. Not -nuch has
been accomplished so far because
the bonds had to be validated by
court action which has ne been
concluded; and because it was ad
mitted that It was Impossible to
market bonds under present conditions.
The opportunity is Imminent
however of financing such an Im
provement. Representative Haw
ley has introduced the Hoover bill
for employment relief, one of
which authorizes the Reconstruc
chairman of the Itepublican National committee.

Miss Sharpe's companions on an
automobile ride that night. Their
joint statements, coupled with an
alibi from Brinkert. tended to
clear both" him and Miss Sharpe of
any suspicion.
Miller Declares He
Was With Waitress
"A chap named Miller." said In
spector Harry Walsh of the police,
"22 years old of Closter, N. J.,
has told us that he was the 'Ernie'
who went riding with Miss Sharpe
the night of March 1. He remem
bers the ride very well and every
thing that happened on It and says
he cannot understand why she
kept a secret from us.
"Brinkert Is remaining here.
However, this is a peculiar turn of
events. It is no fault of ours. We
have not only Miller's story but
the story of Miss Minners who
was on the ride that night. She
says Brinkert was not in the car."
The suggestion that Miller was

Statesman Plan For Relief Work
Involves Invoking Reconstruction
Fund Plan; Other Aid Suggested
1st. The Hawley bill which embraces Pres. Hoover's
plans for employment relief, if enacted, win empower
the Reconstruction Finance corporation to loan money
to municipalities for construction of self-liquidating
projects. .
2nd. If this bill becomes law Salem should apply to
the corporation, for a loan of sufficient money to buy or
build the water distributing system in the city and to
construct the gravity pipe line endorsed by the people
at the December election.
3rd. Every effort should be made to speed op the
court decision on the case testing the charter amend
ment, and to advance plans, if the money should be
available, so work may begin next fall, providing em
ployment through the fall and winter months.
4th. Independent of this there should be mobilized
volunteer workers to put up fruits and vegetables now
going to waste, against the winter's need. Local can
neries would probably be willing to loan their facilities
for doing the processing, the labor of picking and prep
aration being donated. The work should be directed by
the Community Service or the American Red Cross.
mi in
projects, that Is, on projects
which will return revenues even
tually to pay for themselves. This
is the type of project which the
Salem waterworks project Is: so
that Salem's need fits in with the
relief program now under consid
eration. The Garner bill which has
already passed the house, but
which will probably not be enact
ed also contains generous pro
visions for such financing. There
Is however strong indication that
some legislation will be enacted
providing a source of money to be
loaned for such construction
work, as part of a national pro
gram of reconstruction and relief.
Steps in ProRTam
Offered in Detail
The various steps in the olan
which Salem should follow may
be outlined as follows:
1st. On the passage of such le-
islation, the city should seek to
borrow such amount as may be
required, up to say $2,000,000.
rms would be on the city s bonds
which the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation would purchase, it
the application Is approved, and
tne interest should be 4 or
not to exceed 5, and no dis
count on the bonds. Arrangement

A cryptic message from a ship at

It was the second time in 29

Roosevelt when his plane plunged
down into the ocean near the ves
sel's side.

In Good Condition
Reichers suffered a broken nose
and lost his plane; Hausner's in
juries, If any, were undetermined,
but the flier sent word to other
ships at sea that his plane was
still in good condition and he
would appreciate having any ves
sel pick it up.
The huge liner Leviathan, flag
ship of the United States lines,
sent the word to the Radiomarine
corporation here of the rescue of
the filer believed to be Hausner.

Leviathan had intercepted a mes
