the other living charter member.
Activities at the G.A.R. circle in
the City View cemetery this morn
ing have been delegated to the
Woman's Relief Corps.
Charter May Be Turned
In Next Month
Sedgwick post has not yet given
up its charter, despite the fact
that only three members ever get
together nowadays. But the day is
not far away when the charter,
bearing 43 names and granted fol
lowing organization September 26,
1882, will be turned back to the
GJLR. department of Oregon. This
may come following the 44th state
encampment of the G.A.R. In Port
land June 19 to 21, arranged by
the United Spanish War Veterans.
But before the charter is given
up. the few remaining members of
Sedgwick post hope to perform
their last service, which is to raise
$500 to be set aside as a trust
fund for the perpetual and per
manent care of the circle in the
City View cemetery. Here are bur
ied 148 comrades. Within the last
six years, the comrades, largely
through the work of Gideon Stolz,
who has been commander since
1933, have repaired the circle at
considerable expense to them
selves, without soliciting outside
aid. Some time ago, a committee
of other veterans set out to raise
the 185 needed to complete the
$500 trust fund.
Other Units Urged to
Set Up Trusts Early
Commander Stolz yesterday
urged all groups or units which
might have a similar problem to
plan early a trust fund to carry
on the work which that group will
some day be unable to do.
Although Sedgwick post has
enrolled more than 500 members,
not more than 300 veterans were
members at any one time, and
from their ranks came a gover
nor, state school director, su
preme court judge, representa
tives and county officers.
"As a block of men they com
pared favorably with any I know
of and stood along with the pio
neers in faet, they! were from
the same stock as the pioneers,"
Stolz commented.
Few Men Recruited j
on Coast, Recalled ;
The Sedgwick commander yes
terday recalled that very little re
cruiting was carried on on the
coast during the civil war, so the
post members came from states
east of the Mississippi. Of the 4.3
charter members, only two served
on the coast; in fact, few even
served in the same company or
regiment.
The trust left the local post of
the G. A. R., when Its charter is
turned back, will be carried on
by the Relief Corps.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-m-Senator

court NRA decision has endanger

EDUCATORS ASK
Committee Which Visited on
Survey in 1933 Releases
Report at Washington
(ContlBMd From Paf 1)
made chart es against Dr. Kerr.
Kerr's Election Held
"Stupendous Blander
: In Its extended report the com
mittee expressed the Tiew that
the central and outstanding faet
of the controversy was that "the
election of Dr. Kerr as chancellor
was a stupendous blunder."
"Even if there were no taint
whatever attaching- to the means
whereby his election had been
maneuvered; even It there had
been no suspicion of a breach of
good faith- in making him chancel
lor after an understanding had
been reached that neither Dr. Hall
nor President Kerr should be
chosen, it could not have been ex
pected that the Eugene faculty
would Tiew. with anything but
alarm and foreboding the selec
tion as chancellor of the man who
bad been for 25 years identified
with a rival Institution.
"The university needed educa
tional leadership, such as under
the circumstances could not have
been expected from a man of Dr.
Kerr's antecedents and former as
sociations." The committee said the situa
tion was hopeless and impossible
with the Eugene faculty "practi
cally unanimously united in oppo
sition to. the chancellor" after
the Nelson episode.
Ringleaders' Dismissal
Fruitless Move, Assert
"It was Idle to entertain the
belief (which the chancellor ex
pressed during the first interview
with the committee) that the dis
missal of two or three ringleaders
on the Eugene faculty would re
moTe the difficulty," the report
said,
"The only possible hope ap
peared to the committee to lie in:
"A. Bringing about a reason
able measure of. at least outward.
tranquillity, so the chancellor
might retire In keeping with his
pride and the dignity of his of
fice, and
"B. In persuading the chancel
lor and the board to come to a
speedy understanding that he
would retire as soon as this con
dition was realized."
The board In final conclusions
declared: "It is highly signifi
cant of the state of mind of the
faculty that they feared that the
chancellor would exploit any re
storation of outward harmony to
prolong his own tenure.
"It is Idle to hope that the
present chancellor can ever re
gain the confidence of his Eugene
faculty.
"The public declaration of
Dean Morse that the welfare of
higher education demands the
early retirement of the chancellor
was, the committee believes, fac
tually Bound, though the com
mittee feels that this conclusion,
representing as it did the senti
ment of almost all of the faculty,
should have been addressed to
the board and not to the public,
at least initially so."

(Continued From Pr 1)
The members of the Marlon Coun
ty Taxpayers league therein gave
notice that they would carry their
fight to the state supreme court
in an effort to enjoin the board
of control from razing the old
walls. The board has indicated it
would not tear down the walls un
til all litigation was out of the
way.
