The bill, bya 34 to 2 5 Tote, was introduced by tbe-com-mtttee on reorganisation as a sub stitute tor house bill . Yesterday's action reversed the tote t 10 days ago when the companion labor measures 55 and 67. came from the labor committee Mnnrti. At that time the-bills were re-referred to the administration committee. Representative Hannah Martin, Marion, took the lead In sending the bills to the, committee.

'Crowd' Defends Him Now; Abolishment . of Job Voted Down t V The senate saved the position of Dr. W. J. Kerr, former chancellor ot the state system of higher ed ucation, -when, it Indefinitely post poned, li to 11. H-B. to abolish the office of director of market research. Oddly enough the rescue was led by the "university crowd," which in former years had fought Dr. Kerr when he was president of the state college, Angell, and Walker, both TJ. of O. graduates, and Wheeler, senator from Lane county, speaking against the bill. Johnson and Lessard also spoke against the bill. Favoring the bill on the floor were Stringer, Burke, Kiddle, Balentine, Graham. ; Angell Toiced high praise for Dr. Kerr, saying: "I admire him for his ability. He took the state college when it was a weak ln stltutlon and built it up until It is one of the outstanding institu tions in the United Sates in agri culture. His services in the pres ent work are very desirable. Dr. Kerr is giving dollar for dollar and we should not Interfere with the state board. ; u Wheeler made a warm defense of the ex-chancellor's position, de claring: "I guarantee he will do more in help of agriculture than all the agricultural agents ot the state. He is now working on mar keting of prunes and apples but has not gone far enough to make a report. The prejudice was against the pension; but now he is hired as a worker and part I paid by the federal government." Says Farmers Oppose Senator Burke In support of the bill said there were many resolu tions of agricultural organisations against the Kerr office but none for. it. Kiddle said the position had no business with the system of- higher education bat belonged with the department of agricul ture. Graham said his conclusion was based on the fact that the ad vocates of the position did not persuade him that anything "had been accomplished. ' In closing Sen. Walker pleaded for support ot the board of high er education which had brought the schools from turmoil, operat ed them at reduced cost, taken care of more students.
