Hitler Given
Six Hours To
Get Majority
BERLIN, Nov. 21 (U.R) President
von Hinderburg gave Adolf Hitler,
Nazi leader, six hours today in which
to obtain a reichstag majority which
would support a cabinet headed bv a
member of Hitler's party, presumably
ruuer nunseii.
It was understood Hitler firmly rei
terated bis claim that he must be art-
pointed chancellor before the Nazis
would co-operate with any cabinet.
The president and the Nazi leader
conferred for the' second time during
tne current negotiations to form a
new government.
Police reserves were called out to
clear a way for Hitler's automobile to
pass over the 200-yard route from the
Kniserhof hotel to the presidential
palace. Thousands of Nazis jammed
tbe streets, shouting "Hail Hitler!"
and singing tbe Nazi battle song.
Von Hinderburg is seeking a suc
cessor to Chancellor Franz von Pa-
pen, who resigned last week because
he lacked support for a coalition re
gime. It was understood that if Hitler
became chancellor, it would be on
condition that he follow von Papen's
policies and leave ultimate selection
of the new cabinet to von Hinden-
burg.

ernoon. Prink Callison and the- Ore
gon football squad were Riven a rous
ing sendoff at a "confidence lunch
eon" Monday noon.
The luncheon was arranged by
downtown friends of the team as an
expression of loyalty and faith in the
squad. Ed Bailey. ex-Oregon player
and prominent alumnus, spoke on be
half of the Web foot followers. He
was introduced by Ed Morris, presi
dent of the chamber.
Of course we want the team to
win," said Bailey, "but we're behind
them whether they win. lose or draw.
In spite of what the Sunday morning
quarterbacks have to say down in
Los Angeles, we in Eugene feel the
team has been more than successful
so far this season, and we're backing
them to win over St. Mary's and
Louisiana State."
Coach Callison and Capt. Bill Mor
gan were introduced and each was
given a thunderous ovation.
The Web-foot will leave Eugene

Reductions Ordered For
Help in Treasurer's,

FLEAS ARE REFUSED
Action on Health Unit is
Postponed; Roads and
Bridges Due Soon
A saving of $2120 over last year's
operation cost in the county school
superintendent's office was effected
in the budget approved by the county
budget board at the afternoon's ses
sion at the court house. The budget,
as approved, stands at $4070. The su
perintendent hud asked for $4730.
The salary of the stenographer in
the office was cut from S0 to $75
a month and $100 was taken from the
item for teachers' examinations and
added to the item for supplies.
One Cut Rescinded
In the 4-H budget, the stenograph
er's salary was cut from $S0 to $75
and a budget for $1900 was allowed.
The club agent had asked for $li72.
The budget this year will be $3S0
less than last year.
The board rescinded its action in
the matter of cutting the salary of
one of the assessor's assistants from
$75 to $65, leaving it at $75 as be
fore. In a further raid on assistants sal
aries the county budget board Mon
day trimmed $2,202 from the propos
ed county clerk's budget and $260
from the treasurer's requested allot

The board reduced the salary of
every deputy and assistant in those
offices. It allowed the county clerk
$17,710 to carry on his office in
1033, a saving of $2S90 from 1032
and a reduction of $2202 from the sum
requested for 1033 by W. B. THIlard,
county clerk. The treasurer was al
lowod $4030, an increase of $65 from
10.32, but $260 lower than the treas
urer applied for. The small increase
from 1932 was due to the need for
new record supplies and an increase
in bond prices.

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 21. OP)
The attempt to oust Colonel Eu

Oregon, brought fiery charges from

any action he would tnko the veteran
commander scored the actions of rep
resentatives of the adjutaut-generars
office.
Libby .charged that officers of the
ISUth infantry were told by Lieutenant-Colonel
Hnlph R. Huron, now in
command, that they must remain quiet.
"This robs me of the chance to pre
sent my ense before the investigator"'
he said, "for it is upqn depositions of
testimony from the officers of my
regiment thnt I chiefly rely to dis
prove the charges made against me."
Continuing further Colonel Libby
stated, "This action wns quite evi
dpntly done upon direct orders from
Salm hpndqunrters where Major
Uenernl tieorgt A. White and Ilriga-dier-(fneral
Thomas E. Kilea are in

credited to Colonel Eugene C. Libby
of Portland that he had been re
lieved without proper cruise from his
command of the lHUth infnntry regi
ment and that bis offirers hud been
"muzzled' against plendiug his cause.
"While I have wished to avoid dis
cussing the case at the present time,
press statements attributed to" Col
onel Libby compel me to disclose that
it is Colonel Libby's own officers, and
their long-standing complaints nguinst
his methods, thnt have caused the of

outcome I hope I can nroid discuss

any statement upon Mr. Hoaver's di
rect reaction to the views ho had ex
pressed to him,
Britten said he was "ready to go
ahead with a beer lull that would pro
vide against return of the saloon, nnd
would protect states wishing to re
main dry. but would provide for
others 2.75 beer by weight."
Britten said he had told Mr. Hoo
ver he was confident that the bill he
had in mind, providing a tax of 3 or
4 cents a pint on beer would bring
in $.1.1,IHXf,(KW) a month right from the
start.
He maintained this would allow the
retailing of beer at ten cents a bottle.
'I nm quite confident," he said,
"thnt New Veer's Eve will be cele

President And
Roosevelt To
Meet Tuesday
WASHINGTON', Nov. 21. (U.R
Plans for American participation in
the world economic conference prob
ably will be discussed tomorrow by
President Hoover and President-elect
Roosevelt at the White House, it was
stated today in a high official quar
ter. This revelation was considered sig
nificant in view of Europes desire
to consider the war debts in connec
tion with other economic issues at
the world conference.
The administration source which
suggested the probability of the eco
nomic conference arising at the White
llouso discussions, did not, however,
connect 'it with the debt issue.
In accepting the Lengue of Nations
invitation to the conference the stnte
department specified that war debts
and tariff rates ahould not be dis
cussed there. This represents the
view of the Hoover administration,
but it ia not known whether the dem
ocrats, into whose administration the
conference would extend, ahnre a
similar view.
