OREGON ALL RUSSIAN 'RED' ACTIVITY MUST CEASE Washington (IP Disagreement between Washington and Moscow on the responsibility for Comun istic propaganda In the' United States complicates the proglem of recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States and appears to rep resent one of the major obstacles to disposition of tha controversy. The United States government holds that propaganda directed from Moscow against American in stitutions must stop before this country can recognize Soviet Rus sia. The government of Soviet Rus sia repJes m substance, disclaim ing responsibility for the propa ganda. This divergence of viewpoint Je suits from the fact that Communist propaganda throughout the world is directed by the Third or com munist International rhlch, Mos cow contends, acts Independently of the Soviet Russian government.

C. EVOLUTION IS PUT TO TEST, AUSTIN CLARK Washington WT Orave doubt k cast on current tneorlea of (volu tion by Dr. Austin H. Clark, biolo gist of tha United States national museum, who has a theory ot his own to renlac them. "On the origin of mankind and animal life in general.'' Clark gives comfort to the fundamentalists. So far as concerns the major group of animals.' be said, "the creationist seem to have the bet ter of tha amunent. There la not tho slightest evidence that any of, I the major groups arose from any other. Each Is a special arumai- complex. related more or less close ly to all the rest, and appearing, therefore, as a special and distinct creation." Darwin, while held to be wr in the main, la not entirely dis carded. Within plain and animal groups. Dr. Clark allows tor the working ot the Darwinian theory brought about by natural and arti ficial selection, wnua ne aamits that different breeds ot dogs and cats may be caused by the artifi cial selection of the eat and aog fender, be would allow for no cradoattoa between dogs and eats. Dr. Clark, explains toe girane as an example, by declaring mat me original pair were freaks born of some other animals, possibly ante lopes, and that the food supply was favorable to the preservation of the pair who come into the world tor some mysterious reason with long necks. He said he believed that man appeared In the world suddenly and declared tn somewhat the same fashion as the giraffes, and said that man was constantly throwing off supposed abnormalities, idiots and also "supermen ' and that one had about as hard a time surviving as the other, because sub-conscious ly the entire race conspired against the "superman" by shutting them up in an asylum of convention and restrictions. SERS ALIVE SAYS REPORT Washington (IP) Communistic activities, which are described by the state department as the prin ciple bar against American recog nition ot Soviet Russia, had vary ing influence on the major labor troubles in this country during re cent years.. The offlcal book of tho British Communists claimed sole respon sibility was at Passale where the strike "which was the result of wage cuts, lnvo.ved 16,000 textile workers who were totally unorgan ized, and was led by Communists," the bock says. In the furriers slrlks, the Com munists do not figure hi the report, but It is stated that President Green of the American Federation of Labor was defeated In attempt to obtain control of the strikers end that the strike was won in a "crushing defeat far the A. F. of L. bureaucracy." The Cloak and Dressmakers' Union of New York, with 80,000 workers, struck in 1926. It Is de scribed in the book as the second Important union of that Industry "to come under Communist and Left Wing leadership."

UP) Mrs. Alice Foot MacDougall disagrees with both Henry Ford who says saving Is not necessary to success, and with Adolph Lewlsohn who says that It la. "It depends on what you save for and how you look at it," Mrs. Mae Dougall says. "If yon save Just to save, to see money pile up. It kills your soul. If yest save to protect children and their future, that Is another matter. But neither men nor women can do both big and lit tle things. They can spend money largely and get large returns, or they can spend In a niggardly fash ion, saving small sums until they become large ones, and they'll have niggardly penny-pinching lives.'

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS GIVE INDIAN SCHOOL Administration ot Indian affairs Is Inefficient rather than dh honest and much of the criticism directed against the department Is from dis gruntled or discharged employes. O. H. Llpps, superintendent of the Salem Indian sehooi at Chemawa. told the chamber of commerce Monday noon. The school Is operat ing on half-rations and is now al lowed half that allowed for state In. stltutions in many parts of the country, the per capita allowance being $200 a year for all purposes excepting new buildings. The army allows SO cents a day for rations for soldiers while the Indian school Is permitted but 20 cents. "The . American Indian has al ways appealed to the imagination ot the people though tne eariy colon ists set out to anninuate mm, Llpps said. "He is no longer regard ed as a savage or wild animal and many fine traits and characteristics have been discovered. This country is Indebted to the Indian for the develonment of maize or corn and tobacco and the white men have given him more vices than have been returned in exchange. The In dian is naturally religious, refined and artistic and It Is to hits siae that educational methods are ap pealed." Since the Carlisle Indian school was clued by the government in 1918 the Salem Indian school at Chemawa Is the oldest Institution of its kind in this country, being es tablished at Forest Grove In 1880 and moved to Its present site five years later. Reotganlzation of the school has been under way during the past year, students reduced to prevent over-crowding, new build ings built and eld ones renovated, and sanitation stressed. Tho Che mawa orchestra and a girls' quar tet provided music for the luncheon. BUCKNERTOBE BURIED IN BOISE La Grande, Ore. (PV The body of Harold E.

LEGIONNAIRES BOXING CODE Prorpectj that the legislative committee, ct the American Legion in the state wi.1 sponsor the pro posed bill for the creation of a state boxing -commission Deiore tne legis lative assembly are alight, according to rumors about tho capitol lobby which members of the Legion com mittee do not deny. The bill to create the state com mission with jurisdiction over all boxing matches in tho state and the control of all local commissions has been drafted for investigation at the instigation of members of the Portland Lesion post, who car ried the pan to the state conven tion of the Legion last summer and secured Its endorsement. The proposed bill does not, how ever, meet with the approval of at least three of the members of the Legion's legislative committee of five, to whom it was referred, and there are Intimations that the com mittee will unanimously turn Its thumbs down on the proposition at a meeting to be held here Wednes day. Members of the Legion committee view the bill as having a political motive local to Portland, and deem the plan impracticable as applied to other communities In the state where boxing activities are not and never have been profitable. Mem bers of the committee also express themselves as being opposed to In cluding wrestling in the provisions of the bill. COMMITTEE TO BACK GOVERNOR On statement of Mark McCains- ter, state corproatlon commission er, that enactment of the law "would wreck the building and loan business in the state ot Oregon" and that the act "would amount to a complete amending of the pres ent building and loan association code," members ot the house com mittee on banking, Monday morn ing agreed to recommend that the governor's veto ot house bill 316 of the 1927 session be sustained. The bill which was Introduced by Gordon during- the 1927 session would allow building and loan i sociationa from other states to con duct a loan business tn this state. According to McCallister there exists In Oregon no demand for competition on building and loan money and the law. If enacted, would result In the dumping of cheap capital In the state. Both Washington and California have laws forbidding foreign build ing and loan companies to operate in their states McCallister told the banking committee. "The bill when It was Introduced In 1921 was per- ai bin introduced by Interests trying to get California money up here," said tne commissioner. "It i bitterly fought by the local building and loan companies and was passed by only one rote."

House bin 37, the purpose of which Is to stand ardize expense accounts of county officers, was re-referred after questioning on the clauses ot sheriff's expense accounts. Practically the first Interesting debate of tho present session tot lowed the recommendation of Lon ergan ot Multnomah, chairman ot the revision of laws 'committee, that house bill 65. validating cer tain marriages, be passed. Metsker of Columbia objected to the law on the claim that it "would make a football of the present laws which require six months to elapse after a divorce before remarriage is legal." Metsker claimed that ig norance of the law would not be an excuse for validating the mar riages contracted contrary to the law. Lonergan explained that the law attempted to legitlmatixe children born to couples married tn disre gard or ignorance ot the six months proviso. Vetoed house bill 521, on the recommendation of Wlnslow of Tillamook who introduced' the bill In 1827, was tabled until further consideration can be given it.
