and Great Britain fail to fall in
with his plan.
The British cabinet awaited
Capt. Anthony Eden's return, ex
pected tomorrow, to draft com
promise security proposals For

Eden, after extraordinarily brief

-Circuit Judge George R. Bagley
today dismissed an indictment
charging Nelson J. Sykes, repre

lation of the Oregon blue sky law
by selling securities without a
permit.
Judge Bagley sustained a de
murrer filed by Sykes atforneys.
District Attorney James R.
Bain wrote the Oregon attorney
general as to advisability of ap
pealing the case.
' The court held that certificates
of participation and evidence of
beneficial Interest in the profits
of the Colonial Trading company
which Sykes was selling, are not
securtities within the meaning of

SPRM6 ACTIVITIES
IT COLLEGE SAVED
CORVALLIS, Ore., April 4.-P)
The spring sports and activity
program at Oregon State college
will be carried out, the student
faculty board of control voted
late today..
The specter of a campus with
out activities, sports or publica
tions loomed when the same board
last Sunday suspended all those
extra-curricular activities be
cause so few students paid stu
dent body fees under the tempo
rary optional fee payment ruling.
A three-day drive resulted in
pledges or actual payments by
1157, a majority of the 2352 un
dergraduate students.
The board pointed to a break
down caused by the voluntary fee
system which it was said caused
"waste effort, unfairness and lack
of democracy." The board also
voted opposition to the proposed
referendum of the 1935 legisla
tive enactment which will make
fee payment compulsory after this
term.
"The board, composed of stu
dents, faculty and on alumni re
presentative, recognized the evi
dent breakdown in the voluntary
fee system, and a resulting waste
of effort, unfairness and laek of
democracy," a statement said.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-(ff-Belabored
by critics within and
without congress for dropping its
p r t i ous NRA constitutionality
test ease, the administration mov
ed suddenly today to put up a new
case for supreme court -determination.
The move by the Justice depart
ment was made with an air of nr
gency. It evidenced a desire to
get a decision by the present term
of the court before the NRA act
expires on June 1C and before
congress, currently studying re
newal of the recovery act, ad
journs. The government picked the
Schechter poultry case- lavolvlng
wage, hour and sales provisions
of NRA codes as the strongest
case it eould find. The high court
has twice been coaeernerl in re
cent years with operations of New
York City poultry market con
cerns. Meantime, criticism of, NRA in'
the senate finance committee
hearing ran on with the protest of
another small business concern, a
steel company, (hat it had been j
Injured by NRA. It also heard

WASHINGTON, April 4--Elghteen
years after the world
war, a comparison of the nation

ing yar as follows:
The United States, more than
$800,000,000; Great Britain more
than $480,000,000.
The British figure, however,
does not include maintenance of

India and elsewhere.
Both great powers are contem
plating increasing their army per

strength. .
The United States plans to lift
Its army enlisted strength from
