Preparations
WASHINGTON. Nov. 34. The Re
publicans Save hardly been able to
peak above a whisper since the last
election, but they are going to aet
up a national megaphone here about
January 1.
About that time a stronger na
tional headquarters taff will be whip
ped up. The work of Chairman Ven
able of th congressional committee
also will be amplified. Scout are
now out trying to attr up some
money.
That much has been decided In
recent conference at committee
headquarters. How far the reorgani
zation will go will be determined by
the assembling congressmen.
Agitation to decapitate Chairman
Sanders has been dormant for some
months. The congressmen will de
termine among themselves whether
the reorganization should include
him.
Publicity
The headquarters has been run on
a dime, basis.
Those three recent statements criti
cizing administration policy were de
vised not by a publicity man, but by
J. Bennett Gordon, reearch director.
There Is no publicity man.
Gordon sent out 2000 copies of
the first one In confidence. He did
not expect It to be printed, but .hta
optimism was not warranted.- No
one can send out 2000 coplea of
anything in Washington end expect
to keep It quiet.
The reaction was so good that cur
rent releases are being spread around
for publication.
. Bungling
The official handling of the gov
ernment bond market waa complete
ly bungled on the Inside during the
change In treasury leadership.
Mr. Roosevelt had fixed things up
with Treasury Secretary Woodln to
Issue a statement expressing confi
dence In governmenta before he went
off sick. Prices went up for several
days, so Woodln failed to make the
statement.
Later, when lack of confidence was
expressed by Professor Bprague' and
otfiers, woodln had to make the
statement from New Torlt. It lost
Its full force then.
Sabotage
Similarly, newcomer Morgenthau
tried to hasten into print with hla
confidence, but along came the an
nouncement that the federal reserve
was curtailing Its usual weekly pur
chases. That, hurt Morgenthau's ef
fort. .
The truth seems to be that gov
ernment officials are not worried
about anything being fundamentally
wrong with the government market.
They are worried about the creation
of a bad national psychology.
They cannot prove It, but they
really believe there haa been some
sabotaging of the government mar
ket by some persons Interested In em-
ksmiiln. th PfllH nrlOA DOllCV.
Their suspicions are directed against
certain New yora interests, ana nov,
of course, against Prof. Sprague.
Douglas
The administration tacticians have
been confident Budget Director Doug
las (the last of the conservatives)
will NOT follow the exit of Dean
Aoheson and Prof. Sprague.
They have heard he recently sub
muted, hla resignation to the presi
dent and Mr. Roosevelt declined to
accept It. They do not guarantee
that Information, but they do sy
Douclaa will remain at least until
he finishes Ws budget.
Hla position is different from the
others. He is doing the specific bud
get Job. which haa nothing to do
with money policies.
Smoking
Those bolder promises of early sil
ver action are being made by the
allverites with a purpose.
The administration has been toying
with that subject offstage for many
monVis. It is no part of the War
ren scheme. It does not fit Into
the gold price or commodity dollar
picture.
Nevertheless. Mr. Roosevelt is sup
posed to have told Prof. Warren re

subject in accordance with the de

untied, high school football team In
the state, and has the strongest
claim for state honors.
Bend has awept bnrough all oppo
sition In eastern Oregon and played
a tie game with Salem early In the
season,
The selection of Salem was re
garded as a foregone conclusion by
southern Oregon fans, owing to their
closeness to Portland. Medford would
be too expensive to transport.
The winner of the game here will
lay claim to the state title.
Medford haa the moat impressive
record of any high school In the
state, but waa chary from the start
of accepting the Portland game If
Invited. Medford haa appeared three
times In Portland, winning two state
titles by unmercifully trouncing the
Rose City champions. Both Bend
and Salem made active bids for the
game. Bend la regarded as the su
perior of Salem.
Final plana for the game, now as
sured, will be made today and to
morrow. The Bend team has appeared once
tn this city and waa defeated, 10 to 6,
by the Burghermelsters, tn the 1930
Armistice day game.

HELD FOR MURDER
IN DEATH PUZZLE
CHICAGO, Not. 33. (AP) Earle
Wynekoop and hla mother were prta
oners tonight accused of an alleged
murder still steeped In mystery de
spite the statement of Dr. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop that the victim
waa shot by her after accidental
death from chloroform.
All the best minds of the police,
the state's attorney and the cor
oner's office were concentrating upon
solution of the enigmatic death
of Rheta, Barle's 33-year old wife
Young Wynekoop was formally
charged with murder late today, and
held without bond. The state's hand
had been forced by the order of
Judge Joseph Sabath that he be
booked or released by 6 p. in., to
satisfy an application for a habeas
corpus writ In Carle's behalf. Chaa.
3. Dougherty, ac of the county
prosecuting staff, acknowledged af
ter a morning with the youth that
he had no new evidence against
him.
Dr. Alice, blowing a kiss to her son
across the courtroom, was led away
to her county Jail cell still stand
ing by the confession her son had
called "a pack of lies to save me.
That confession was no confession
of murder or of homicide, but
statement that her aon'a wife died
of an overdose of chloroform given
to ease pain, and that she shot, aft
erwards, to cover the professional
mistake. She said she allowed the
young woman to hold the chloro
form and Inhale It.
Chief point at Issue was the exact
cause of death.
Dr. Clarence Muehlberger, cor
oner's chemist, reported that anal
ysis of the girl's body disclosed auf-
flcient chloroform had been admin
istered to cause death before the
bullet was fired. A deputy coroner
said Dr. Muehlberger made an oral
report, however, that blood In the
stomach and blood filling the left
lung evidently came from the bul
let wound. Indicative that she was
still alive when shot.
The coroner's Jury, charging Dr.
Alice with murder, had accepted the
finding of Dr. Thomns h. Dwyer
that: "In my opinion the cause of
death wajt a gunshot wound, hemorr
hsge and shock."

the climax of a modern fairy story
that will tell In Its happy ending of

An uncle, who was a miner had

tending sluice boxes, died In Berkeley,
back in 1028. Only M74 waa found
among his personal effect at the time
of hla death, and thla money was used
to pay his funeral expenses.
A few days ago a San Francisco
bank found that the rent on the late
uncle's sarcty deposit box had not
been paid for five ycara. The family
wps notified and the box was opened.
There, carefully wrapped in a news
paper printed in 1012, lay 013.78S in

Board Campus Quiz.
EUGENE, Nov. 15. (jp) At a meet
ing which packed the Guild theatr
on the University campus here, the
faculty of the University of Ore on
Saturday afternoon adopted a state
ment to the state board of higher
education on the recent controversy
affeotlng the chancellorship of Wil
liam Jasper Kerr.
Members of the faculty declined to
dlscusa their action in any way or to
mako any comment for the press.
They aald their communication had
gone direct to the chancellor himself
and to all members of the state board
and it would be up to the board to
make publication. If any.
It was reported unofficially that
the faculty action aaks that the stats
board expand Its proposed Investiga
tion of the conduct of Wayne L.
Morse, dean or the university law
sohool. to Include Chancellor Kerr
and all person involved In the situa
tion. The faculty request that the in
quiry be extended to Include ths
chancellor and all Involved In the con
troversy is held to Indicate that In
spirit at least ths faculty la united
In support of Morse, although deter
mined thai procedure ahall be- through
channel and above question t to

At Albany, Saturday night, Will and
Marks, acting chairman of ths board,
said he had not yet named ths com
mittee of three to conduct the Mors
Inquiry, Informed that ths faculty
might request that the scope of ths
inquiry be broadened he said ha felt
sure the board would be anxious to
set up proper procedure which would
insure a hearing of all faculty griev
ances. Ths board may not have another
meeting till December but Marks In
dicated this might not be essential.
"It is my understanding," said he,
"that the Morse Inquiry could go into
ths whole situation. If need be. It's
All Involved in one matter, anyhow."
Discontent with ths Kerr reglmt
1 said to go farther than "personal

there have been complaints that ths
chancellor has been arbitrary In hla
dealings with faculty members, that
h has quietly Ignored or altered spe
