The senate confirmed today the nomination of Rexford Guy Tug- well to be governor Puerto Rico despite an assertion by Senator Taft (R., Ohio) that Tugwell had "no sympathy with American ideals or the American system" and was "the apostle of collec tivism." Confirmation was on a stand ing vote. Tugwell, a close adviser of President Roosevelt In the early days of the new deal, recently was nominated to the post by the president. Taft told the senate chat Tug well was opposed to the Amer ican constitutional system and "looks with greatest sympathy on the program of Communism in Russia."

"He has attempted to divide classes and stir up class hatred, which I believe to be the most dangerous attack on American democracy."

Bevan, 319 King street. Mrs. Bevan has had Red for a decade and she believes the pet is at least 20 years old. Well, the other day Mrs. Bev an found an egg in the cage. She thought the neighbors were nlaying a joke on her. She put the egg away. A couple of days later she found the cage empty and Red nestled on a cushion on the sofa. Under Red was an other egg. Mrs. Bevan took the egg and put the bird back in the cage. A couple of days later she found another egg in the cage and Red looking as mad as a wet hen and with an expression that said: 'I defy you to take this one." Mrs. Bevan did. You see. she was kind of disillusioned. All these years she thought Red was a male parrot. WILL ENTER U-0 Eugene, Aug. 25. (Spl.)
