GET FINAL WORD I By PAUL MALLON (Copyright, 1933, by Paul MaDon) 1'lncsse WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The Wcllea pressure probably baa been the great, est Influence In undermining the Gran Ban Martin government ot Cuba. It haa been one of those things about which statesmen cannot talk openly, because nothing can be proved. But In private they speak rather freely about It, and give great credit to our ambassador. A diplomat has to be good to get away with the things Welles did down there. If he were caught In any open or official act he would have been branded as a meddler In Cuban affairs. Latin-America would have been aroused. The consequences might have been serious. The state department waa about ready to run out on Welles a few weeks ago. He led It up a blind alley by sponsoring the De Cespedes regime, which was swiftly over thrown. Rom. rionartmental offlclala want ed to recognl the revolutionary Grau San Martin government, uu Welles held them off. He furnished private reports Indicating each suc ceeding week would be Grau San Martin's last. The offlclala. grew suspicious and murmured about the advisability of getting Welles out of Cuba. During the past few days, It be gan to appear that his promise was finally coming true. The depart ti nfftrinlii bezan cheering for him good old Welles, they knew he would come through. Gold A highly trustworthy Insider In Wall Street asserts he knows that the Hearst estate sold out Its hold ings in the Homestake gold mine some time ago. The ssle Is said to have been )n the open market at around S160 a ahare. The buyer waa supposed to be a prominent Investment banking firm, unquestionably acting for a cus tomer who wanted to keep hla name quiet. Movies You will not see General Johnson in the movies much from now on. He has decided they do not do Jus tice to his beauty and he Is prob ably correct. Not long ago the ntwsrecls set up their cameras in hla office to photograph the dispatch of an NHA flag to the Byrd polar expedition. When Johnson saw them, he put on a scene which would have done credit to Oarbo. The gist of his argument was that the sound films must withdraw, that he would have no more of movies. The dispatch of the Byrd flag was photographed by still cameras only. The movie men were somewhat dis pleased at Johnson's attitude. They have cooperated thoroughly with the hra Thee remarked aa they with drew that sometime Johnson would e around asking to get his picture n the movies. Telephone Our currency talks with the Brit ish were NOT handled through the British war debt mission here. Borne Incidental mattera may nave been taken up through It. but the real discussions were conducted via long distance telephone between Gov ernor Harrison of the New York Fed eral Reserve bank and his friend Montagu Norman, head of the Bank of England. The main purpose of the conversa tions was to avoid an International currency war with Britain. Mr. Roosevelt designated Harrison for the long distance peace mission. Word, One little word has started a major Inside conflict between the rxtsA rnd the retailers who oppose price fix ing. Mr. Bowvelt altered the retail rode so that a merchant may sell without profit, adding: "But the selling price should Include an al lowance for actual wages of store labor."

(Associated Press Photo) IS SET 25 Saturday, November 39, has been set by Circuit Judge Oeorge P. Bklp worth of Lane county, as the date for the. argument before him. of the bill of exceptions ftltj In th proposed appeal to the supreme court of L. A. Banks, local agitator, now serving a life sentence in state prison for mur der. The state holds that the full trans cript of the testimony should be In cluded in the blU of exception, and not Just bits of the testimony, as ad vanced by the defense. The defense was given until the above date to prepare the transcript. Exceptions are based upon the claims that the introduction of a .38 calibre pistol, found In the Banks home after the killing, as an exhibit was prejudicial, and that the closing remarks of the assistant attorney gen eral, wherein he referred to Banks, as "a coward hiding behind the skirts of a woman, "to commit murder" were also prejudicial. The murder was committed with an "elephant gun," owned by Banks. The .38 calibre pistol waa introduced to show, that Banks home waa "an ar senal." and that he wore a pistol to th breakTast table, on the morning of the slaying, all tending to support the state's contention that the crime was premeditated. The "coward" charge was made in reply to Defense Counsel P. J. Lonergan likening Banks to "Christ", as the climax of his plea. Conduct of a woman bailiff, and al leged errors of law by the court. In giving final instruction to the Jury are also cited by Banks. To fall Warrant SALEM, Nov.

Remorse On Sober Second Thought, Avers Nelson No Resignation. PORTLAND, Ore.. Nov. d. (AP) Declaring that he awaits "the effect of sober second thought In the fair minded men and women of Ore gon." Roscoe 0. Nelson, president of the state board of higher education, had today apparently tentatively dis missed from consideration an attack launched at him by Dean Wayne Ij. Morse of the University of Oregon school of law. "Mr. Morse seemed to think he could frighten me by culling for my resignation." President Nelson said. "The soonor I can get away from thla noxious miasma of insensate hatred and breathe free air again, the bet ter I shall be satisfied." No Resignation Seen There was no Immediate indication, however, that Nelson planned to sever his connection with the high education board. He declared he believed that "In the cool dawn of some morning when the partisan cheers subside, Mr, Morse will feel ashamed of his un worthy asssult." In an address before faculty mem bers and alumni of the university Saturday, Dean Morse spoke of what he described as "Mr. Nelson's In sulting, Insinuating, unfair and vto- lous attack upon the faculty of tht University of Oregon" at recent ap pearances of the board's new presi dent at the university and at Ore- gon State college. Morse AHejree Plot Morse declared "We Have stood by and witnessed the selection of a chan cellor (Dr. W. J. Kerr) by a plot so rotten that It stinks to high heaven." He criticized Chancellor Kerr for reputed fsllure to cooper ate with the Oregon faculty. He said "The budgets of the two major Institutions reek with partiality to the college." President Nelson responded with the declaration that "It Is this type of scandal-mongerlng and Insensate hate which I have declared and again declare to be unworthy of Oregon's great university." Dean Morse, who was loudly ap plauded at the conclusion of his remarks, stated that Nelson, In his address on the Eugene campus, "which was surpassed In awfulnesa only by his address on the Corval lls campus, oharged that there ex ists on your faculty (University of Oregon) a little coterie of faculty men whose opposition to the admin istration roots in disappointed sm bltlons and frustrated desire." Sees War On Faculty He charged "Mr. Nelson has de clared war on the faculty, and the facnlty will respond fearlessly." The board president's "attack on the un iversity," he continued, "has made It impossible for self-respecting fac ulty men and women to work In harmony with him." The dean demanded that Nelson "meet with the faculty, name his victims and prove his case against them.
