Mai Ion WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. The Gar ner dynasty In congress li not dead, nor la It sleeping. The snores you hear from the vice president and his under-cover boys avre merely stage snores. Down underneath he and his aaao- elates are doing a, strong but quiet job of leadership for the administra tion. Through their close relationship with Senator Pat Harrison and others, their influence in the senate is no- j tlceable. I But they actually run the house. Their part Is largely to devise the I political strategy of how to get bills through and how to keep down insur- ; 1 rectiona. They have a big hand In writing important legislation and the biggest hand In getting It through. 1 The best key positions of commit- : tee chairmen are held by their crowd. 1 Actually there are six chairmen of house committees from Texas Jones, ! agriculture; Buchanan, approprli tlons; Rayburn, interstate commerce; Sumners. Judiciary; Lanham, public buildings; Mansfield, rivers and har bors. House members refer to It as the Texas dynasty, which, of course, means Garner still is king. The best tacticians In the house are Garner's pals McDuffie of Alabama, Rayburn of Texas and Tuck Milltgan of Missouri. You never read much I about them in the newspapers, but they virtually run the show. Others make the speeches. They do the phe nagling.

ACTING DEANS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION SEATS AR HINTED Oregon And Oregon State Administration Heads To Be Solution As Substitute For Presidential Policy. PORTLAND, Jan. 18. (AP) Ex pected major action of the atate board of higher education, possibly involving establishment of acting presidents or deans of administration at University of Oregon and Oregon State college, was put over to the afternoon session when adjournment was taken at noon after considera tion of routine business was only well begun. Only alx of the present eight mem bers of the board were present, Q. B. McLeod being out of the state on business, and Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce being at Washington with Congressman Pierce. Present were Vice-president Willard Marks, and F. E. Callster, Albany: B. P. Irvine and B. C. Sa'mmons, Portland: Herman Oliver, John Day, and C. A. Grand, Roseburg. Duties I-eft to Kerr If expected action ta taken on strengthening local administration on the two major campuses it will probably consist largely of establish ing the office and possibly appoint ing the men, leaving the definition of their functions and the relation ships with other campus and inter campus administrative officers to be worked out by Chancellor Kerr for later recommendation to the board, authentic sources said. During the noon recess the men most prominently spoken of as like ly to be nominated by the chancel lor as deans of administration were Dr. O. V. Boyer, dean of arts and lettera at University of Oregon, aud Dr.. George W. Peavy. dean of for estry at Oregon State college. Finances Factor The board committed Itself more than a year ago to the policy of ulti mately having presidents on the two campuses, but financial considerations have prevented their appointment heretofore. Chief among the Items passed upon at the morning session waa author ization for summer school in the system this yesr. The plan to be followed will consist of regular sum mer sessions of six-weeks at Univer sity of Oregon, Oregon State college. the three normal schools and at the j roruand extension center. Post sessions will be held only at Eugene and Monmouth, thus eliminating the late periods at the other two normals attended by but few students last year.
