A New Chancellor
Selection of Dr. Frederick
University of Denver, to succeed Chancellor VV. J. Kerr as
executive head of the state's institutions of higher learning
serves not only to end a bitter controversy which has inter
fered seriously with the administration of educational affairs
in Oregon since Dr. Kerr was appointed, but opens the way to
the reorganization intended
the state college and the three
dated in a single board.
The board of higher education, a consolidation of the
three boards which formerly
was created bv the legislature
pose for coordinating the work
their functions and eliminating duplications.
Under Dr. Kerr's administration, due to constant intern
al conflict on the board and
bias because of his previous
little has been accomplished in this direction. True, there
have been effected considerable economies in expenditures
for higher education during the past four years. But they
have been brought about principally through executive ve
toes of appropriations, and the necessity of paring expenses
to meet reduced millage revenues.
Salaries have been reduced, individual instructors drop
per here and there, and operating expenses trimmed closer
of enforced necessity, but there have been few if any consoli
dations of duplicated courses; curtailment of over-empha
sized service courses, or eliminations of non-essential func
tions. Actually, there is no sharper distinction between the
fields of university and college service now than there was
six years ago.
Dr. Hunter comes to Oregon free of any entangling al
liances, without the handicap
ship, and with the detached
partially diagnose the ailments of the system and perform
the needed operations. His inauguration will provide an
opportunity for a thorough test of the consolidation plan
contemplated in creation of
tions on his success lie with his
the extent of cooperation he secures from the board.
Merely Doing His Duty
Governor Martin is charged by the Portland labor coun
cil's lumber strike strategy commission with attempting to
"set up a dictatorship" and with "turning law enforcement
officials into a lawless mob,
ing union beat-up gangs attempting to prevent non-striking
workers from working.
As a matter of fact the governor is merely enforcing the
law and maintaining peace. It is the labor council itself
which attempted to establish a dictatorship by violence, a
reign of terror by lawless mobs throughout the state, simi
lar to that they established in Portland last year. It is the
labor council which has attempted to usurp the powers of
n,rAnMAH4. -4 41 1.. J;
swi mucin. nut, iiib Kuveujur wiiu is merely aoiug nis amy.
It is the fundamental right of men to continue on their
jobs, if they want to and it is the strikers who are "bent on
denying fundamental rights of
timidation, and brutal assault,
industry, paralyzing the business of the state and forcing
martial law to end mob terrorism.
Had the governor not acted promptly and decisively
there would have been a repitition of the bloody riots of last
year, which would have been avoided had Governor Meier
displayed the courage, firmness and fairness that character
ize his successor.
A Nertz Party
Those who style themselves "progressives" are consid
ering the formation of a new political party proposed by
Seneca Fouts to be called the "Redemso" party a name made
by the first syllable of republican, democrat and socialist.
Judging from the platform proposed and the proponents a
simpler and more suitable name would be the Nuts or Nertz
party.
The platform outlined borrows some of the Townsend
pension plan revised to include the incapacitated over 18
years old, Huey Long's share-the-wealth program, employ
ment insurance, tax exemption for homes, confiscation of
iHige incomes, iree silver at 16
inieiesc rates, salary limitations, free text books, veterans'
bonus and pensions, free power, etc.
in brief the platform is a crazy quilt of "gimme" de
mands of those who believe that ask and ve shall receive from
some mystic source, probably
nance, u would not be a bad idea if all the political isms
could be united in a Nertz party but it can't be done, there
are too many varieties. They can't agree on anything over
night except perhaps abuse of Governor Martin. That is

THE CELLAR
"Look at that!" said the woman.
The foreman fingered all the desk
orawers In turn, doubtfully.
"Looks as If someone's been at
them," he admitted reluctantly
Then with great mephasls, "Me and
my mates can t be responsible for
this. We couldn't get Into the
'ouse."
"Oh, I'm not blaming you," agreed
the lady carelessly. She left the
man there and went on Into the
pantry, rown the passage Into the
kitchen. In the doorway she
stopped, frowning.
On the deal table stood a brown
teapot, two dirty cups, two plates
which bore the traces of recent
egg and bacon. A brand-new, shin
ing tin kettle sat on the oil-stove
She picked it up and stared at
it. a sharp-cut line between her
thin, plucked eyebrows. Her tongue
slid out and wet her painted lpis.
She put one pale, well-manicured
hand against the side of the kettle
but, being empty. It was cold.
Her eyes dark, round and set
rather too near a big nose grew
very thoughtful as they rested on
a frying-pan which contained
circle of cold bacon fat and two
bright spots of egg. With her thin,
crooked mouth compressed hard
she turned away and went quickly
down the seven steps leading Into
the cellar.
She turned the key, went in.
walked through it, first turning on
the main switch, then all the lights
one by one. In the farthest cel
lar, by the fallen roll of linoleum,
she stopped.
For a moment she stood staring
Into the recess, her face blanched,
a picture of surprise and conster
nation, horror and fear. Twice she
bent forward, as if she doubted her
own eyes.
Then, slowly, her expression
changed. Her eyes grew thought
ful, her long fingers tapped impa
tiently against her hip. Suddenly,
like a person who - has made up
her mind, she laid dowri the bag
ana gloves which she held and
got to work.
Four minutes later, pate and pant
ing as if unaccustomed to taking
heavy exercise, she stood back and
dusted her hands and dress partic
ularly carefully, looking back the
while over her shoulder as If afraid
that someone might come and find
ner there. Then, very quietly and
swiftly, she ran back on tip-toe
through the cellars, switching off
the. lights and locking the door.
She had gained the drawing room
again when the mover, seeing her
standing by the desk, touched his
forelock and asked. "Nothing else
is there but what's In these rooms
and upstairs, madam? Anything
to clear outside or down below?1
Nothing." said the lady. "There
are one or two things In the out
house, I think, but I'm leavina
those for the new tenant to take
over.'
Then we'll get
wilh It;
agreed tne man.
Yes." She had turned awav be
fore she added, "I shall have to
run Into Warley, but I'll be back
before you've done.1
By the gate, she paused to slip
the big key of the cellar furtively
into her bag: then she went out
and got Into her red runabout
There were two spots of bright Dink
color In her thin, sallow cheeks,
and her dark eyes smoldered as she
started up the car and drove away,

it was a tail house, one of those
solid seven-story houses which were
mint in the days when money and
labor were plentiful. Some of the
olhcr houses had been converted
Into flats, but No. 712 still had kept
Its air of prosperous comfort. Its
tiled entrance made gay by bay
trees in bright metal-bound tubs,
Its paint-work spotless and Its door
adorned with labor-making, brll
llantly kept brass.
Guy Westum looked no at the
house with a dubious expression as
n asked, "You live here?"
Yes." Alison waved her hand

Robert Rede, standing at the lib
rary window which overlooked the
road, had seen her, and came hur
rying down the steps.

"The Croft which?"
"The Croft House. Warley, Sus

me to mete you there at eleven last
night. My boat got In at. eight, so
I had Just time to catch the next

"But I've never heard of the

face grew flushed with indignation
"It's these confounded fools at the
telegraph office I Mut've muddled
up the telegram! Must've got two
wires mixed up. I wired to you
that I couldn't meet the boat and

"You poor darling." Alison, In
her sympathy, forgot her own dis
tress. "You must've been distract

He wrinkled up his round and
pleasant face In laughter as he
turned to Guy. "Only got one

her. I thought she must've had
some awful accident. I never trust

Alison smiled at her companion.

He almost drove the young man
before him into the library, link

precious to be lost.
Guys protests were lost in a flood
of Insistence; Alison's plea at least
to be allowed to go and powder her
nose was vetoed.
"Powder! What do you want with
powder at your age? she doesn't
need it, does she? Come on, you

the good fortune of the writer to
have lived neighbor to the McCork
les for many years.
George Fristo McCorkle of Mis
souri and Elizabeth Brooks Howell,
a native of Tennessee were mar
ried in 1842 and came to Oregon
the following year, homesteading 640
acres on which they built a log house
that they lived in for about 14 years.
The Colonial home was built In 18S7,
the lumber from the ParkersvUle
sawmill. Stone for the fireplace and
other material were obtained from
trading posts In the county.
Word came from Washington, D.
C that only a half section could be
held and the east half was sold to
Asa Himmons for $300. It required
a year for them to learn that this
report was not true, and the adjoin.
Ing north half section was taken up.
This tract had valuable timber for
fencing the land. Mr. McCorkle has
said that while splitting rails many
of their meals consisted of boiled
whole wheat, venison, milk and
fruit.
Instead of a fine fence between
the McCorkle claim and that of Wil
liam Murphy, each man made his
own fence. The space between the
high rail fences was often Jokingly
referred to by Mr. Mcl'-orkle as the
"Devil's Lane."
Tlie McCorkles were skilled In
hunting and fishing. When the en-
roachments of settlers drove wild
game to the mountains they made
regular hunting trips which were
always successful.
John Howell McCorkle, now 81
years of age, is the only living mem
ber of this family. He and his wife,
Ellen Cawood McCorkJt reside In
Salem. Their two daughters, Tem

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, June 17 The silver
policy usually assays three pounds
of politics to one ounce of silver.
That is why political mineralogists
have been dashing about for a week
trying to evaluate what Secretary
Morgenthau said to Senator Mc
Carran. On the surface tne letter
appeared to say nothing except that
the treasury was moving ahead
with the policy as rapidly as any
reasonable person could expect. But
If you treat the letter with a spe
cial acid of expert analogy, you will
ltnd nuggets between the lines.
Approach Up to now, Mr. Mor
genthau has always lifted his hat
when bowing to silver senators.
This time, he lifted his nose, bland
ly asserting that "only tnose pri
marily interested in speculation In
silver" would want to know what
McCarran wanted to know.
This was enough to arouse sus
picions about a possible change of
heart at the treasury. Proof of
it lay in a succeeding assertion by
the secretary, distinguishing between
the stabilization fund "primarily
having to do with International ex
change" and the silver policy, which
he implied as a "domestic matter."
This Is a reversal of the theory on
which the silver policy has been
based.
Conclusion These hints are only
substantiation of other convincing
but unmentionable evidence that
the treasury is looking at silver
wun a more realistic eye. The
recent predicament about the world
price seems to have caused the
change.
This does not mean that the
policy will be materially slowed
down; at least not until after the
next election. It does mean that
treasury will be less aggressive
hereafter In playing into the hands
of stiver speculators.

Obviously, the peace lovers do not

semi-ridiculous wartime censorship
tnat its silence has added to the

The truth Is the war games were

Cod. The main action was around

Blame It Isn't the new deal that
is holding us back; it's Industry!
At least this is the remarkable
view expressed by Governor Eccles
of federal reserve In an overlooked
radio talk recently. Eccles blames
lagging recovery upon corporations
which have not passed on the funds
they are receiving. They are sell
ing, but not spending.
An increase of $3,600,000,000 In
member bank deposits in 1934 over
1933 is cited by his associates as
evidence of industrial hoarding in
banks.
This Is a good practical argu
ment;; but it may not be a valid
economic one. It Is true of some
few Industries. Certainly not auto
mobiles. All industries are proceed
ing cautiously as regards expendit
ures, but largely because their costs
are uncertain, their Income defi

spend If they could see their way
clear.
Mr. Eccles appears to have found
a factor: but he is pulling it by
the tail instead of by the head.
