President Is Requesting Many Judicial Reforms
Hoover Suggests Changes in Special Message to Congress
The only mention that he made of prohibition is a renewal of his previous recommendation regarding law enforcement in the District of Columbia. He urged that the suggestion of the attorney general that local police may be given authority to act against federal authorities in the District of Columbia be adopted.
The President particularly stressed the necessity of a change in the bankruptcy law. He pointed to the increase of bankruptcy cases in recent years and urged legislation to allow banks to be more financially prosperous under which debtors may have the protection of the court without being 'adjudicated bankruptcy'.
1. That the supreme court be authorized to prescribe uniform rules of practice and procedure in criminal cases.
Congress
Washington, Feb. 29 - (UP)—President Hoover today sent a special message to congress urging important actions to facilitate administration of justice.
2. That legislation be enacted permitting an accused person to waive the requirement of indictment by grand jury and speed up the entire proceeding.
The President plainly urged that criminal procedure should be speeded up. He recommended:
3. That legislation be passed providing that if not less than 12 eligible grand juries veto for an indictment it is imposed on the person of the accused of incarceration.
4. That most juvenile cases be turned over to state authorities rather than be tried in federal courts.
5. That a corporation operating in one state, but incorporated in another should be treated as a citizen of any state in which it does business.
6. That congress act on recommendation by the attorney general supplementing the prohibition law in the District of Columbia.
Dr. Hugh Thomas Kerr of Pittsburgh, former moderator of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States, and president of the Association, and Dr. Chalmers Covert, of Philadelphia, the Presbyterian board's general secretary, will address the Presbyterian students of 52 Presbyterian colleges, and 47 universities in a radio reception Saturday March 12.

Dr. Paul Dengler, Vienna Professor, Pictures Similarity in World's Problems
America, Europe May Learn Much From Each Other
TO STAY ONE MONTH
Pointing out that the fundamental differences between Europe and America lay in age and background, Dr. Paul Dengler, of the University of Vienna, declared that the two countries could learn much from each other. "America is a young country. She may learn nothing, just as Europe may learn from her."
Dr. Dengler's address was the first of a series which he will deliver, both from the lecture platform and in class. He is also known for his work at the University, on the general subject "Understanding Europe." He is working under the direction of the Carnegie Mellon University.
Dr. Dengler stated that he was working under the Carnegie Endowment directed by Dr. Wagner. But Bryter disagreed with the purpose of my visit and pus is to give an interpretation of Europe, said Dr. Dengler, "to explain what we are doing and to tell you of European education."
America Is Optimistic
The topic of Dr. Denger's convo-
sion speech was "The Why and How
of European and American Differ-
ences." There is space in America
Europe has a population of 400 mil-
lion and has a population of only
129 million.
In Europe tradition means everything. The school that Dr. Dengler attended was founded in 777 A.D. Epcaucs look backward. Dr. Dengler told the story of the American who wandered at the beautiful lawns of Camden, England. The gardner explained that the grass had grown for over 90 years.
"in Europe, Dr. Dengler continue,
"people fight and kill to keep their old customs and ways of living. When they learn about American life they quickly copy and pick up American ways of living. They want to change and become Americans, so they learn the English language, dress appropriately, your resturants are charming!"
Mental Attitude Differs
"Americans have no time for sitin,
down and thinking about their problems," he says.
Sidewalks are lined with people drinkin',
eating, eating and chatting with their
friends. They solve the problems of the
city by offering an alternative. Contrary to the popular belief that the "bull test" is an American college in sitin', the birthplace of the custor
Another difference between the American and the European grows out of the whole social structure upon which they are built. In "Europe," he said, "everyone is superior to someone else. The people in Europe are able to stay in it. Some of the countries, Germany and Austria, are slowly growing away from this idea, but it is firmly grounded in it."
America, as pictured by Dr. Dengler is free from the hatreds, the problems and the armed fortifications which are common in European countries.
America Free From Hatreds
"Of course," said Dr. Dengler, "every country has its own ideals and values. Two countries have the same standpoint that we illustrate the point, he told this story:
"The League of Nations, in order to get an idea of the psychology of each nation, asked the different countries to send a report on the subject. Elephants. In 2013, England turned in a 21 volume report on the psychology and mentality of the elephant, a very complete library. England turned in one volume, portraying the delights of big game hunting in India, with illustrations of pictures of the Prince of Wales.
French sent in one small book, delicately perfumed, and with a gold brocade cover entitled "The Elephant and His Love." Austria sent one in, but it was six weeks late. The one from the United States was a one page story in the form of a newspaper. The head "Bigger and Better Elephants."
Dr Dengler, who is a graduate of the University of Vienna, was introduced by Chancellor Landey, who reviewed his work and field of education. His lecture tour have included several trips to America the first of which was in 1825-26, I eastern United States. In 1929 Dengler gave 220 lectures during this week which included 44 states. He is direct adviser to the American-Austrian Institute of Education.
Many Things in Common
It's not the difference we have that matter," he said. "The important thing is that we have so many things in common. And it is for this reason that we must help each other, and know each other better, in understanding comes friendship."

Two Kansas, two Missouri, and one Kansas State man were placed on the all-big Six basketball team selected at the close of the season. O'Leary, from Cooper, Missouri, forward, were unanimous choices on the first selection.
Johnson, the Kansas pivet man, was placed at center, with the guard positions going to Collins, the all-America juker, the three-year man at Kansas State.
O'Leary of Kansas was named captain of the all-star selection, as he was one of the outstanding choices of the team. He captained the captain in part of the Kansas games. On the second team Beck of Oklahoma and Shradkai of Kansas State played at center, and Page of Iowa State at center, and Page of Kansas and Grady of Oklahoma at guards. The captainacy of this team went to the outstanding choice of this group.
Poll of Student Editors
The above selections were taken from a poll conducted among the sport editors of the University of Dayton, Kansas, Missouri Student, Kansas State College, and Oklahoma State. Each student and the Oklahoma Daily. Each editor considered the records of the teams and each individual player carefully before the choices were made.
For the forward berths there were three outstanding candidates: O'Leary, Cooper and Beck. O'Leary and Cooper were the given choice over Beck primariy, both leading the conference in individual scoring with 110 points each.
OLEary, playing his third year as a varsity forward at Kansas, ended his basketball career in a blaze of glory despite the fact that he was closely watched by both Beck and Grady of Michigan. He scored 10 points in his final game and that game marked the type of basketball he played all season.
Cooper and Beck were considered for the other forward berth, and Cooper finally won out. Beck has played a better floor game than Cooper, but his team was not selected to team this year. Cooper won out principally on his scoring, as his 110 points for the season represented almost half of the scored by the Missouri team this year.
At the center post there were only two men far above the class of the other Big Six centers. Johnson of Kansas and Heitman of Iowa State were shot on April 16th in this position this year and Johnson won out over the Cyclone center on his scoring ability, floor play, controlling the tip, and defensive work. He was continually taking the ball off the backfield to get got too hot for the Kansas guards.
Heitman played with a team that topped half its games and led it in scoring. He was second in the Big Six. Johnson was the third highest scorer of the conference this year with 95 point- Johnson and Johnson each scored 10 points gained by the Jayhawk five.
Auker, Collings the Guards
All four of the teams named on the first and second teams played basketball at the caller that warranted an巨Big Six selection. Anker and Collins were named on the first teams because of their aggressive play and their ability to run the teams on their respective captains of their respective teams.
Collins ended his college basketball career with the same steady playing years. He was named as head coach in 1984, years later he was named as head coach in 1987, basketball term and this year he has
