gon university's newly-elected pres
ident. Dr. Donald M. Erb, will make
his Introduction to newspapermen
of the state tonight when he ad
dresses the 20th annual Oregon
Press conference banquet.

ernor Charles H. Martin and Wil
liam W. Loomis of LaOrande. 111.,
president of the National Editorial

Sessions will be held In the Uni

"no-host" publishers' meeting was
scheduled for today. A luncheon la

for the conference are Charles L.

Mall-Tribune.
Young, of the General Electric
company, to consider plans for at
tacking the recession.
The conferences, he said, were
serving to clear up many false Im
pressions, which he attributed
mostly to politics.
For example, he said, there was
a group- of conferees which failed
to see any consistency In advocat
ing curtailment of farm acreage
and improving acreage. It was very
evident, he added, that In pre
venting soil ' erosion land is im
proved, but at the same time land
Is taken out of production. That
requires stressing he said.
He said also he had found some
persons in the business groups who
thought it v&& Inconsistent for him
to say In 1933 that the price level
must be raised and In 1937 that
prices were too high.
The president said there was
nothing Inconsistent about that,
that his objective still was the
same.
The price level Index In 1933, he
said, was about 69 and the aim was
to get It back towards 100. But,
he added, it obviously was proper
to object to certain rises In com
modity prices that threw the whole
thing out of balance.
Discussing the attitude toward
holding companies which he had
expressed at his press conference
last week, Mr. Roosevelt said it
was obvious he did not have In
mind such companies as the Penn
sylvania railroad In advocating
elimination of all holding compan
ies.
He explained the Pennsylvania
was an operating unit and not
holding company even though It
operated In many states.
He said some writers had Inter
preted his remarks about bank
holding companies to mean elim
ination of branch banking when
such was not the case.

Mrs. Harley said she had known
Forsyth 35 years, and he "abhorred
brutality, war and killing "
"It Is hard to believe he could be

she said. "However, he always was
opposed to war and aggression. I
believe that, perhaps, was the mo

personal gain or heroism. I think,
perhaps, he might have thought he
was halting aggression In China."
