Advisory Council Formed
The announcement came as the
president worked toward the es
tablishment of a council to guide

a group which Mr. Roosevelt said
should Include both big and little
business, as well as reoresenta
tires , of labor, agriculture, trans-

and consumers. j
Officials said the organization
of SHch a council was distinct from
the president's plans for' meetings
of the leaders of a single Industry.
The -purpose of the latter confer
ences would be to estimate, with
government -assistance, prospect
ive demand for goods, so produc

has Invited the lieaas of the great

purchases of automobiles.
However, it was considered
doubtful the discussion would
reach demand and production. The
president has said he is anxious
for changes' in marketing practices
to diminish what he calls high
pressure salesmanship.
During the day, the senate un
employment committee received
an encouraging word from Colby
M.-Cheater, chairman of the Na
tional Association of Manufactur
ers and chairman of General
Foods corporation. He said two
thirds of the country's manufac
turers expect an Improvement in
business some time this -rear.
A survey of 40 manufacturers, J

The signature is In the custody
ot Prof. Lewis, head of the
Shakespeare laboratory. It was
given htm for study by a friend
and he said he was not at liberty
to disclose its history. "
"It is impossible, from the
sheared-off piece of manuscript,
to determine the nature and con
tent of the item from which the
signature was removed," said
Prof. Lewis. i
Prof. Lewis listed the following
steps in his literary detective
work: analysis of the ink and the
paper showed they were the kind
used in Elizabethan times; com
parison ot the signature with the
six definitely known signatures
made 'it virtually certain that the
man who wrote the six other sig
natures wrote this one also;" and
ultra-violet and infra-red photo
graphy revealed quill pen had
been used and that beneath the
ink there was no pencil tracing, a
practice common in forging a rare
signature.
Prof. Lewis said three known
signatures of Shakespeare exist on
his will and three others on for
mal court documents. No manu
scripts of his great dramas are

Pelkey drove to Portland
Thursday morning. At 1:30 p. m.
the proposal was submitted form

The new proposition was de

of all other propositions.

Donald M. Erb, Stanford univer

University of Oregon president
elect, said today in his first pub
lic appearance aince his appoint
ment he would chart a goal ot
academic distinction for the uni

Dr. Erb received a tremendu

talk on "college spirit, in which
he stressed loyalty, based on
honest belief and affection;
pride, based on valid accomplish
ments, and distinction, the urge

in the deeds of the students.

Sports Not Unessential -
"Understand me," Dr. Erb said,
"when I say that not even ath
letic prowess can be considered
essential. I believe In athletics.
I enjoy sport. When the Oregon
team plays Montana I shall be
there and if things are going
well I shall probably behave in
a manner most unpresldential.
I believe in a wholesome and
general participation In sport and
athletics and in a sound pro
gram of physical condition, but
all these things are Incidental to
those works which make for aca

16-year-old daughter ot a com

through a lattice work partition at
ancient Koubbeth palace. She and
Egypt's boy king were married in
the orthodox Moslem fashion a
wedding in- which only, men took
part. ' .
Tonight "Farouk" promised to
take his dark-eyed bride on an in
cognito tour through the city
where their ' wedding was being
celebrated with glittering oriental
pageantry.
Bedouin horsemen galloped
about, firing rifles Into, the sky;
drums .throbbed; bullocks were
slaughtered for the poor; wine
flowed and there was dancing in
the streets.
Women Not Participants
No women actually were pres
ent at the 10-minute ceremony but
Queen Mother Nazll, the king's
four younger sisters and the bride
and her mother watched through
the separating grillwork and saw
Farouk, in the black and gold ot a
field marshal, extend his right
hand to Farida's father, Yonssef
Zulflcar Paaha, for the symboli
cal handclasp.
The two pressed upright
thumbs under a silk cloth, and the
bride's father said, "I betroth to
your majesty my daughter. Fa
rida."-
The king thrice Intoned: "I ac
cept her betrothal to .myself from
thee, and take her under my care
and bind myself to offer her my
protection and ye who are present
bear witness."

Farouk and his bride's father
then signed the Eygptian marri

others except It did not mention a
dowry. The contract stipulated,
however, a secret sum Farouk
would pay Farida if they should be
divorced.
After the ceremony Queen Fa
rida drove home and put on her
wedding gown of shimmering sil
ver lace with a 20-foot train and
gossamer veil for the afternoon
drive to the palace to be presented
to Farouk's relatives and take up
her official residence.
The first of three great state
banquets will ba held tomorrow at

Seized US Vessel

Insurgent Warships Take
Nantucket Chief Into
Mallorcan Port
PARIS, Jan. 2Q-(JP)-The Unit
ed States embassy announced to
day two Spanish insurgent war
ships had escorted the American
tanker Nantucket Chief to Gen
eralissimo Francisco Franeo's air
and naval base at -Palma, Mal
lorca. The vessel, flying the United
States flag and carrying an. Amer
ican crew, was reported reliably
to have been seised two days ago
in an attempt to run the insur
gent civil war blockade with a
cargo of Russian oil for the re
publican government at Barce
lona. An embassy spokesman said the
American consul at Palma would
"handle all dealings" between in
surgent authorities and the Wash
ington state department regard
lag he snip.
Earlier, insurgent sources in
Paris had professed a lack of
information but said seisure was
"the logical fate of any ship that
tries to break the- blockade."
The embassy forwarded what
it could learn ot the incident to
both Washington and to Rear Ad
miral Henry E. Lackey, now at
Genoa, commander of American
naval forces in European waters.
However, it was said Lackey had
not been asked to take any action.
(There are three American na
val vessels in European waters
the cruiser Raleigh at Genoa
with Lackey and the destroyers
Mauler at Gibraltar and the Clax
ton at Vlllefranche, France.)
Both French and American au
thorities here said it had not been
determined whether the tanker
waa taken In Spanish territorial
waters. The French destroyer
Vauquelln reported to the French
naval ministry it had sighted the
tanker In the western Mediter
ranean, 60 miles north ot the
