Salvage
WASHINGTON. June 8. AU tiiat
President Roosevelt's so-called revival
of the supreme court Issue amounts
to Is simply this:
Senate Leader
Joe Robinson has
been authorized to
put the six-Judge
bill on. the auction
block In the cloak
room and to sell It
for the best pos
sible compromise.
L2U
What he can
get, If anything
substantial. Is de
batable. Even
raui juauon.
staunch friends of the six-Judge bill
will whisper In your ear that they
are licked by at least three or four
votes. The opposition claims more,
and seems to have more.
Neither side Is Inclined to argue
much. The destination of the bill
probably will be the senate "table, ' a
legislative Umbo where legislation Is
consigned In lieu of the waste basket.
But If. In addition, some unobjected
features of the program (creation of
a supreme court proctor, enlarge
ment of the lower courts, etc.) can
be whipped Into shape along with
some corrections In supreme court
procedure, this "compromise" may be
passed. That any new Justices can
be added to 'the court is extremely
doubtful.
It Just bolls down to Mr. Roose
velt's desire to get "something'' with
out tearing his party apart. It ts only'
a question of salvaging (with the
accent on the first syllable).
Lure
Those who are watching Robinson
work In the cloakroom note that he
seems to be playing one point heav
ily. He is not unmindful of the
vanity of some of the milder opposi
tion senators who could use the pow
erful credit of sponsoring an accept
' able compromise.
The compromise must come from
the opposition because It Is In con
trol of the situation, end the man
whose name goes on the compromise
as author may rate a footnote In
history. At least, the temptation for
fame Is a considerable factor and the
opposition, leaders are worried.
This angle casts the only doubt
on the outcome.
Common Sense
The opposition is shouting threats
of filibuster, but privately planning
exactly opposite tactics. When and

PORTLAND. Ore.. June 8. (API
Palling health of himself and his
wife caused Dr. O. V. Boyer, presi
dent of the University of Oregon tor
only three years and two months, to
submit his resignation to the state
board of higher education In a sur
prise move today.
Members of the board, most of
whom said they heard of the
Impending retirement for the first
time late yesterday, declined to ac
cept the resignation Immediately as
recommended by chancellor P. M.
Hunter, but. on motion of P. E. Calr
lister, deferred action until the Sep
tember meeting.
In a letter of resignation read to
the board by Chancellor Hunter, Dr.
Boyer asked that he be relieved of
present duties September 30, "or as
much before that time as the board
sees fit to select a successor." Boyer's
statement follows:
"For over a year my energy has
been declining until I have no reserve
energy left to meet the demands of
the office. It would be unfair both
to the university and myself to con
tinue longer In the office under such
circumstances. I am resigning with
great regret, for my relations with
the atate board of higher education,
the chancellor and the faculty have
been most pleasant and stimulating.
If health permitted I should like to
continue In sn administrative ra
pacity doing what I could to advance
the educational Interests of the uni
versity, the state system and educa
tion as a whole.
"I hope still to continue with the
university as dean of the college of
arts and letters and head of the Eng
lish department, contributing what I
can as teacher to the educational
welfare of the youth of the state.'
Regret Retirement
Members of the board and Chan
cellor Hunter were profuse In their
expressions of regret at the volun
tary retirement of the university
head. Dr. Hunter said President
Boyer "has done a most constructive
piece of work, bringing about grow

university, and Improving the rela

board and the people of the state."

SHUNTS HUNT FOR

SALT LAKE CITY. June 8. (AP)
Search shifted radically today lor
the bodjes of seven victims of a

of a human leg bone, a shoe with
laces neatly tied and large fragments
of fuselage. .
The bono was a fractured atrip

Immensely significant to searchers
as the first trace of a human form
amongst several hundred pounds o!
strewn wreckage and air mall dis
covered on a mountain-top cliff
ledge 25 miles southeast of here
Sunday morning.
The find shunted search activities
from the knife-edge southern tip of
Hardy Ridge, approached only from
the village of Alpine, to the base of
its 1000-foot precipice best reached
from the Salt Lake City (northern)
slope.
There, at the edge of a giant
snowfleld which the sun touches
only briefly each day, 30 men dug
and scraped away hopefully at Ice
and debris,
"There is every indication now
that the bodies are In that snow
and In some places It's 80 feet deep,"
said Barrle, vice-president of West
ern Air Express which owned the
destroyed liner.
Crews, turned back several times
by Impassable cliffs, finally found
a way up two different canyons to
the glacial tomb.
How to get the bodies off the
mountain, once they are found, re
mained a problem. Crew members
said use of toboggans, with pulley
hoists over several sharp declines,
probably would be the solution.
M. G. Wenger, postal Inspector,
said 90 per cent of the mall load
would be recovered, most of It on
top of the ridge.
"About 200 of the 870 pounds ap

Scientists In Washington heard ra

A few minutes before totality,
which was reached at 2:00 p. m., (E.

cleared rapidly, exposing the sun
fully. For three minutes and 33 sec
onds during the totality the IS sci

worked feverishly.
They reported that stars popped
out, buds flew Into the barren Island
to roost and the sun shot brilliant
fingers of Its corona millions of
