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. Speaker Ralney plays ball with ;

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.
Ask Bonus for Calilson
A late recommendation came In
from Hugh Rossen, graduate man
ager of the Associated Students, that
the board authorize payment of $1000
from student funds for payment of
a bonus to Coach Prink Calilson for
the showing of the football season
this year.
