Expulsion of Independents
Is Asked by Reed but
McNary Opposed
WASHINGTON, Feb. 34 (AP)
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania
said tonight he would ask the next
republican caucus in the senate to
expel from the party rolls the in
dependents who supported Frank
lin D. Roosevelt in November.
Reed said that with the repub
licans In the minority now, they
could lose nothing by casting out
those senators who rebelled
against the leadership of Presi
dent Hoover.
Four senators Johnson of Cal
ifornia, Cutting of New Mexico,
LaFollette of Wisconsin and Nor
rls of Nebraska possibly would
be affected should Reed's purpose
carry in the caucus.
However, Senator McNary of
Oregon, who will be the party
leader in the next senate, said re
cently that he would oppose an
effort to punish the bolters.
He took the view that It was
the privilege of the states te de
fine the republicanism of their
senators and forecast that any
move like that planned by Reed
would be defeated.

Appearance Will go to
Boy Scout Funds
The Eugene Gleemen, presented
here by the Salem Rotary club,
won unstinted praise from a capa
city audience in their concert ap
pearance here Friday night at the
Salem armory.
An exceptionally well balanced
program was presented by the or
ganisation composed of 84 Eu
gene citizens, maintained as a con
cert group under the patronage
of the Eugen chamber of com
merce. Chorus numbers Inter
spersed with Instrumental and vo
cal solos brought repeated de
mands for encores.
Close to 1000 people sat silent
and almost breathless as the Glee
men sang the superb strains of
Schubert's "Ave Marie," as ar
ranged for men's voices by John
Stark Evans, director of the
group. The combined voices of the
chorus humming with the effect
of a great organ and against this
inspiring background the full,
sweet tenor of Don Eva and the
brilliant violin accompaniment of
Howard Halbert made an effect
that fairly suspended thought
while it was being presented.
The delightful humming effects
gained by Mr. Evans and his Glee
men created for most of the music
a soft, receptive background for
the words of the songs. The pro
gram moved rapidly with the au
dience demanding encores for the
violin offerings of Mr. Halbert
and the baritone solos of George
V. Bishop.
All proceeds of the concert
went to Boy 8eout work here. The
Associated Oil company provided
gasoline tor the caravan, women
of Rotary dined the men before
the concert while local merchants
cooperated with decorations and
furnish in gof supplies for the con
cert. Failing to Stop
