KIWANIS TOLD OF
FOREIGN RELATIONS
Need of an International attitude
with practical statesmen facing sit
uations as they are and not in the
ory, was emphasized Tuesday noon
by Prof. J. Lloyd McMasters, polit
ical science instructor at the state
college, in an address before the KI
wanis club. More deference by one
nation to another must follow or
else tiiere will be a return to ultra
nationalism which will result in in
crease rather than decrease in ar
mament, erection of greater trade
barriers and even open conflict, he
stated. The problem today is one of
international politics and the situa
tion calls for the application of psy
chology.
Prof. Mc Masters criticized the six
weekV tourist who goes to a foreign
land, endowed with honest motive
but who fait to understand the peo
ples because of lack of perspective,
and returns with a prejudiced view
point. This person does not see
what he thinks he sees, Mc Masters
said. Prof. Mcllafters spent two
years abroad as a student upon com
pletion of his college course in this
country, having a fellowship in law
at the Uniersity of Bordeaux.

Christmas Programs
Drop Santa Claus To
Stress Birth of Christ
Salu n public schools are getting away from the "Santa
Claus" idea in their Christmas programs. Whereas in form
er years, the jolly Saint Nicholas with his picturesque cos
tume had an important role in
school exercises at the holiday time.
this year it is Christmas, the birth
of the ChrUt child, that is being
celebrated by Salem students. Prob
ably the general appeal being made
to the children to share with others
less fortunately situated than
are a number of them, has brought
to the holiday programs a deeper
siiiiiilicance of the spiritual value
and the true meaning of Christmas
HOOVER FIRM
Washington (IP) President Hoov
er will stand to the end behind the
gold standard.
No credence is given nere to re
ports circulating in many foreign
countries tnat tne uniieo maies
is about" to follow England and
Japan and desert gold as the foun
dation of its currency, oinciais
refuse to dignify such reports with
oficial denials. They are classed
here as foreign propaganda.
Despite this stand however, pres
sure is crowing for diluting the
currency system, for shifting to bi
metallism, for in some way bring
ing silver into the currency foundation.
Some senators and congressmen
are hearing from their constituents.
Senator Dill, democrat, Washington,
for instance, offered in the senate
a letter which asserted that Sweden,
since going off gold last Septem
ber, has been able to cut wooa
plup from $44 a ton down to $32.
Swedish exchange is on 3i per cent.
That is, she can sell an order of
goods in America for $69 and get
exactly the same amount of Swed
ish currency for it as sue would
have received by selling the lot for
$100 be 'ore going off the gold
standard.
Great Britain's pound has de
clined from about 54.85 down to
$339. That difference can be sliced
off the price of articles exported
to America and the British seller
will still receive the same amount
of British money for his sale.
Canada s exchange though tecn
nicallv still on a gold basis, is off
about 18 per cent. The same is
true of numerous countries which
have gone off the gold standard.
In all 23 have done this.
Efforts to meet this by raising
the tariff through the flexible pro
vision are beginning. The senate
has ordered the tariff commission
to investigate the effect of the Can
adian exchange situation on im
uorts of wood puln. Sentiment
among many republicans is for
tariff action on imported articles
causuiK the most trouble.
The other method suggested is to
adjust the American currency. Dili
is one of its advocates. He says
tariff relief would only be tempor
ary and would be nullified by sub
sequent inflation abroad.

Christmas package to her home
which contained smokeless powder
and 20 small lead slugs.
At first thought to be the work of

serious aspect late Monday night
when it was fully opened, after be-
ina immersed several hours in wa
ter, and its contents disclosed pow
der enough to have caused serious
injury, at least, to anyone nearby.
That the plot failed, detectives
said they believe, was due to the
tightly wrapped box in which the
nowder and lead was contained
which prevented oxygen reaching
the powder.

Miss Davies told officers she had
no idea who might have sent the

The package had been mailed
from Malibu Beach, near here

interspersed with carols appropri
ate to the selection just read. The
entire program was planned and
organized and costumes arranged
by Miss Anna Miles, faculty mem
ber in charge of the general pro
grams at Leslie this semester.
The setting for the urogram was
particularly effective. On the small
stage was created a stained glass
window effect, created by Mrs. Ida
M. Andrews and her art class stu
dents. The madonna and child was
drawn on the window by Miss
Miles. A velvet covered altar, in
which curtain drapes were utilized,
was placed immediately in front of
the window, through which light
streamed. Blue flood lights on eith
er side completed the cathedral
scene.
The vested choir, filing in with
the processional hymn, flanked
both sides of the stage, the leaders
carrying candelabras of lighted ta
pers. The program was climaxed
with the stately entrance of the
three wise men, in colorful cos
tumes, bearing the three traditional
giits.
Solois'.s in two of the Carols were
Aileen Moored, soprano, and Carl
Mason, tenor. Members of the choir

Biblical Christmas story, which will
be read by Adelbert Henderson,
student at the school. In accordance
with the spirit of the story, famil
iar Christmas carols will be sung by

music teachers. Even the little
folks in the first grade will have
their carol, "Luther s Cradle Hymn'
to sing.
At the high school, the home
coming program Wednesday at 12:30

pageant based on the advent of
Christ, with shepherds, tfte three
wise men, and others represented

2177 WORKING
ON EMERGENCY
HIGHWAY WORK
Oregon' $1,000,000 emergency
highway relief fund brought a mea
sure of Christmas cheer to 2,177
unemployed men and their families
during the week ended December 19.
Funds expended during the sev
en days amounted to $58,035.12,
most of the money being for wages,
a report released from the state
highway offices indicated.
Between 7,000 and 10.000 individu
als have received work on emer
gency betterments, engineers esti
mated. The first relief projects
were started during the latter part
of October in scattered sections ot
the state. Last week resident en
gineers and crew foremen mailed
in returns from 35 counties.
No accurate check on number of
laborers who have been employed
for emergency jobs is possible, it
was explained, as counties are
working crews according to varying
rotation systems.
Some have adopted the policy of
giving one week of work every
month. Others rotate jobs as often
as required to evenly distribute
work among all men registered as
unemployed. Some jobs requiring
semi-skilled labor have been held
permanently by those first employed.
Three counties last week had pro
jects needing more than a hundred
men, Multnomah with 59B, Douglas
103 and Union 102.
Included among the others were
Benton 52, Clackamas 57, Clatsop
21, Coos 49, Deschutes 24, Jackson

Rostein To Head
New Water Board
If Plans Materialize
With a tentative understood plan of the snonsors for
the municipal water supply system, authorized by the voters
at last Tuesday's city election, of placing the entire matter
of acquiring the properties of the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company and supervising the construction of the
proposed supply system from the
Little North Fork of the Santiam
river in the hands of the water
board authorized by the charter
amendment, interest is centering
in the probable identity of the
commission.
According to unofficial informa
tion picked up here and there
about the city since the elecUon
the sponsors for the proposal have
worked out a lairly definite pro
gram of action and have already
mapped out the personnel of the
water board to Include Ed Rostein,
William S. Walton, E. F. Slade,
Curtis Cross and Dan Pry, Jr.
Whether all of these men will
accept appointment remains to be
determined, some of them Tuesday

the holiday sea&on. The spirit of
good will represented by tliese ne
cessities is one that began early in
mitting that tht matter haU been
broaclicd to them.
Under the terms of the charter
amendment the water board would
have no official connection with
the acquisition or construction of
the plant, but would simply assume
management of It when it is com
pleted and ready for operation by
the city. All authority to acquire
the present distributing system, or
build another, -as well as the con
struction of the Intake, pipe line
and reservoirs embodied in the
Santiam source plans are vested
in the city council.
Jt is the understood plan of the
sponsors, however, to have the coun
cil appoint the water board im
mediately and to asiee to turn over
to that board the task of negotiat
ing for the private plant here, and
supervising the construction of the
new supply line. Under this pro
gram all of the board's actions
would have to be ratified by the
council.

The Salvation Army was unable
Tuesday to make a calculation of
the number of people to whom its
workers must play jolly Kris Krln-

funds, however, are directed mainly
to poor relief throughout the waiter.

been accumulating piles and stacks
of cheerful -looking articles of all
kinds until the place looks like a toy
store wonderland.
No small part of the Elk accumu
ation has come from the Salem fire
men, who have been so active this
Christmas in re-making wornout
and cast-away toys that Chief Har
ry Hut ton and his men at the cen
tral and the outlying stations receiv
ed the special thanks of tlie Elks
order.
A special care for the Elks this
Christmas will be about 50 boys at
the state training school near
Wood burn. Only Tuesday a request
came that tlie Elks see to it that
these youngsters have a worthwhile
Christmas, and, as usual, the Kits
cheerfully took on the responsibility.
Christmas preparations are being
made at all the state institutions,
and the usual holiday dinners, par
ties, and programs will be furnish

tional fame, runs rather spontane
ously. There is never a shortage of
rood, for it nearly all comes f-om
the charity of Salem people, and
while Christmas plans have not
been announced it is a safe bet
that tlie dinner on that day will be
something better than the diners
have enjoyed in many a day.
One of the most pleasing thlmrs
in Salem at the Chrinma season
is its observance at tlie state house.
Tlie big Christmas tree, pretty
alight with colored lights, has been
set up on the firr.t floor of the
capitol.
Grouped about the tree Tuesday
morning tlie first Christmas carols
of the season were sung by the
state house musicians. Among the

WIFE SLAYER
ESCAPES NOOSE
Seattle MP Everett Frank Lind
say knew Tuesday he would escape
the gallows for the murder of his
wife, Audrey Elizabeth Lindsay.
Tlie confessed wife slayer was
found guilty of second degree mur
der by a superior court all-man Jury
Monday night on the fifth ballot
after three hours and 15 minutes of
deliberation. The Jury had received
the case at 4:15 p.m., after Prose
cutor Robert M. Btirgunder had
asked the death penalty and Lind
say's attorneys pleaded self-defen.se.
Under the law, he may be sen
tenced from 10 years to life impris
onment. His attorneys, B. Gray
Warner and Oscar A. Zabel, indi
cated no appeal would be taken.
They thanked each of the Jurors.
Only a few minutes before the
jury came in Lindsay told a detec
tive, "I guess I'll swuig all right."
Bur gun tier said that in the 10
years he has been in various county
prosecutors' oliices he has never
asked the death penalty before, but
he felt Lindsay deserved hanging.
The defen.se liibited tlie state
failed to establish the element ol
premeditation, necessary in first de
gree murder. Lindsay's story was
that his wife threw hot coffee in his
face the morning of the murdrr,
which no enraged him he killed her
with a hammer he was using in re
pair work.
Two months after the killing, the
body of Mrs. Lindsay was fmmd bur
ied in tiie backyard of their home
here.
