Willamette co-eds who live in
Lausanne hall want to know
whether the plumber was a burg
slar, or whether the burglar was a
plumber or whether the words are
synonymous.
OFFICER Miller Hayden, of the
Salem police force, is wondering
whether burglar hunting is real

say it is.
We've got a man up here"
some one at Lausanne hall told
Officer Davis over the telephone
last night.

the government and people of Ja--
pan are most vigorously and earn
estly protesting. They contend that
it is unjust and unfair to pick cut
particular group of aliens who
are under certain political disabili-
ties and deprive them OF rights
which all other aliens are permittaa
to enjoy And the Japanese protest
presents to all our people this very
definite question: In the larger
view of our relations with the ORR
ent, is it wise to thus classify aliens
on the basis of their eligibility to
citizenship?
ut is not for me to answer this
question. The answer must be made
by the American people. But IL is
important that we should keep
clearly before us just what the is-
sue is so that we may more intel
ligently determine it in the Light
of the facts and arguments which
are being submitted to u.s."
