Metfessel Begins Music Research
In collaboration with Percy Grainger, noted pianist and composer and director of music at New York university, Dr. Milton P. Metfessel of the psychology department announced last week that he will undertake a scientific study of folk music of Europe.
The object of 6uch a study. Dr. Metfessel explains, is to increase the scientific knowledge of music and to make a permanent record of folk music, which, as an expression of folk life, is being lost.
In the proposed investigation, which will cover a period of a yea-. Dr. Metfessel will use the method known as phonophotogra-phy. That method is one of his own developments, bu the use of which he has already analyzed and pictured graphically Negro folk songs of this country and the voices of many internationally kncwn artists. Phonograph records. from which the study will be made .have been collectea by Percy Grainger and are to be sent to Dr. Metfessel in order that he may carry on his part of the work here.
Federal Reconstruction Finance Aid Sought By Businessmen
RENO, Nev., Nov. 2 —(UP)— Nevada residents tonight quietly accepted financial stringency as a fact after a temporary burst of spending when 18 of the state’s 26 banks closed for a two week “financial holiday.”
Orderly adjustments were being made. Renoites discovered that the $100,000 or so of silver dollars in circulation and the $3,000,-
000	cash available to depositors of the First National bank would not balance the more than $17,-
000,000 in the vaults of closed institutions, and trimmed their financial sails accordingly.
One Bank Open One bank that took advantage of the "holiday” reopened today. It was the Lander bank at Austin, noted old mining camp.
Businessmen were trying to bring order to bookkeeping systems disrupted through uncertainty as to the fate of checks in circulation when the “financial holiday” was abruptly declared Monday night.
Divorce Seeker* Untroubled The divorce business. Reno's most publicized industry, was the only one unaffected by the financial stringency. Eastern women here for “the cure” drew on checking accounts in home-town banks.
Optimism prevailed that the Federal Reconstruction Finance corporation would make a loan of $2,000,000 to stabilize the George Wingfield banks, which admittedly are in an unfavorable position be-| cause livestock men are unable to repay loans.

Crowds Cheer as ‘Happy Warrior’ Urges Choice Of Roosevelt Hoover Commissions Hit By N. Y. Democratic Ex-Nominee
MUSIC HALL, Troy, N. Y„ Nov
2.	— (UP) — Alfred Emmanuel Smith, democracy’s “happy warrior,” tonight attacked the Hoover leadership, urged election of Roosevelt and Garner, and pleaded that his friend, Herbert Lehman, be chosen as the next governor of New York state.
Smith received a tremendous ovation as he entered the hall jammed to the rafters with his admirers.
Boo Hoover’s Name
He ridiculed the candidacy of Colonel Wm. J. (Wild Bill) Donovan, Republican gubernatorial nominee, with the shout that he ‘may be wild in speech, he may be wild in thought, but we can’t have him wild in action.”
There was a tremendous boo when Smith mentioned the name of President Hoover, observing “I think he is attempting to scare the American people. No matter how bad times are, no one Is going to the depth of despair,” he said.
“Let me read you what he said in New York,” Smith explained. Then he cited a paragraph from the New York speech relative to the tariff.
“In the dying hours of the campaign th© president tells us that if we interfere with that tariff the church is going to decay. He also said there were two philosophies of thought in this country.
Re-echoes 1928 Campaign “The Madison Square speech reechoed a bit the 1928 campaign," Smith remarked, “The number of miles of electric wire and the increase in the number of children in the public schools, as if that were a Republican accomplishment.”
Smith jumped from this to the charge that “bureaucracy has grown up so in Washington that they have taken everything they could.”
“Let’s take a look at the department of commerce that Hoover once headed.”
Commerce Department Growth He asserted that this depart ment has grown from a $10,000,000 one in 1914 to a $34,000,000 one in 1932.
He mentioned the Wickersham report on prohibition. “The report cost the people a half a million dollars and it has gathered a quarter of an inch of dust,” he said.
“The solution of the problems that remain unsettled lies in the election of Roosevelt and Garner,” he exclaimed.
Junior class play tryouts will continue today for eligible students, at 3:15 p.m. in O.C. 122.

Hoover Asks Support From Pacific Coast
President Appeals T o Voters To Maintain Institutions
Los Angeles G.O.P. Rally Addressed by Chief Executive
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—(UP)— President Hoover tonight appealed for support of voters in the Pacific coast states in a message to a “California day” celebration re vealing plans to go back home to vote.
The message was read from the Carlton hotel here to a group in Los Angeles and was directed to "fellow Californians” in California, Washington, and Oregon. Maintain Institutions ‘1 am asking that you vote to maintain our American institutions which have given you this well-being, not halt them because of temporary dissatisfactions with forces outside the control of our government,” the president said.
Hoover turned to his attack on the Democratic party’s tariff policy. He emphasized that among the first things he did in the presidency was to call a special session of congress ‘for upward revision of all farm tariffs.’
Would Lower Tariff If the Democrats are placed in power, Mr. Hoover insisted, they would lower those tariffs and then “scarcely a commodity now produced within your borders could be produced on a commercial basis.”
“Every man who knows the traditional policy of the Democratic party knows perfectly well that products will rot on the farms and in our forests of the Pacific coast under such a regime. We would go back to conditions ot depression worse than that through which we have passed.” Blame Foreign Influence The president again blamed the country’s economic plight on foreign influences, and reiterates that depreciated currencies, particularly in Japan, made a protective tariff essential to lumber, farm, and industrial interests, particularly throughout the Pacific area. He referred repeatedly to the progress of the nation since its foundation and added:
“I do not hesitate to ask you to so express your citizenship next Tuesday as to insure the continuance of thi3 progress.”
The last minute trip to California was regarded here as an attempt by the president to hold his home state in the Republican column. Democrats are claiming it.

Recovery Under Capitalism Impossible, Says Thomas

2.	“The still more ominous fact * that the recovery of the production
leve^ of 192S will only bring back, according to the engineers of the technocracy group, 50 per cent of the unenlployed.
