Women should have a more impor-
tant voice in Michigan's government,
according to Fred W. Green, Repub•
lican candidate for governor, and it
is his plan to see that they have more
appointments to various state boards
and commissions. Ile has declared
belief that they are particularly well
adapted and fitted for such work by
the reason of their interests in wel-
fare and humanitarian activities.
It is women, Green contends, who
are responsible for higher ideals in
politics and better government is
more likely to follow when their co-
operation is enlisted in governmental
affairs, he believes. But, he insists,
this co-operation cannot logically be
expected unless the women are given
places in governmental affairs. They
can't function from the side-lines.
At the present tissue, few women,

were massacred and tens of thou-
sands were wounded and crippled.
The pogroms in the Ukrainian towns
and villages were everywhere carried
out in the same manner and were ap-
parently under one direction. The
same methods of incitement were ap-
plied and even the same slogans were
used. The slogan, "Bey Zhidov, Spa-
say Ukrainu" (Kill the Jews, save the
Ukraine), was everywhere the motto
of the pogrom bands. The same false
rumors were spread in various towns
and villages, as for instance, Attor-
ney Goldstein stated, the rumor was
spread by the pogrom leaders in Pros-
kurov that the Jews of FeIstein had
stolen the church bells and installed
them in the synagogue, while in Fel-
stein they spread the rumor that the
Jews of Proskurov had stolen the
church bells and installed them in the
synagogue in Proskurov.
Attorney Goldstein described the
cruel massacres by Petlura's bands
and stated that Petlura's soldiers
used to kill Jewish children and carry
the bodies on the tip of their rifles
with the inscription "Trotsky." Pet-
lura, he stated, did not punish those
who were guilty of the pogroms.
When asked by the magistrate
whether the entire Ukraine considers
Petlura guilty for the pogroms, At-
torney Goldstein replied: "Three mil-
lion Jews hold him responsible."
A favorable impression was made
on the court by the fact recalled by
Attorney Goldstein that in 1921
Schwartzbard asked the Jewish Or-
phans Committee of Paris to give him
a Jewish orphan from the Ukraine
for him to care for, although he was
poor himself.

Fifth avenue, America's arbiter of custom, rendezvous of the discemi-
noting and the critical, is the birthplace of the custom sedans which have
been added to the Studebaker line.
Although the union of custom beauty and luxury with one-profit facili-
ties was announced only recently, discriminating motorists have long util-
ized the stamina and performance of Studebaker cars as a foundation fur
coachwork individualized to their personal preferences. In fact, this trend
had become no pronounced that last winter a salon was opened in the Rose
Room of the Hotel Plaza in New York for the exclusive display of the
creations of master carrossiers on the Studebaker chassis.
Studebaker engineers in collaboration with a group of the country's
foremost custom body designers analyzed the comfort, convenience and
beauty of all the exclusive creations displayed. The most favored of these
features then were combined in four types of Studebaker custom sedans to
give America a line of cars of custom caste but without custom cost.

Two witnesses for the Petlura party
were also heard. The first witness
was Professor Roved of Prague. Ile
testified that last A pril he saw
Schwartzbard follow Petlura from
Paris to Boulogne in a motor car.
When asked by the magistrate to
describe Schwartzbard, Professor Ro-
yal stated that Schwartzbard wail a
brunet and slight of stature. Laugh-
ter was caused in the courtroom
when the magistrate asked the ac-
cused to rise and pointed out to the
witness that Schwartzbard is a blond.
The Prague professor, greatly em-
barrassed, admitted that he had made
a mistake, but turned to another
point, claiming that l'etlura accused
Schwartzbard of having carried on
negotiations in 1921 with Jewish
leaders in Paris to organize propa-
ganda in the Ukrainian army against
the pogroms.
Sholom Schwartzbard, replying to
Professor Royal's charges, declared
that he never went to Boulogne by
motor car and that he negotiated
with Paris Jewish leaders after the
pogroms took place.
The second witness for the Petlura
party was Prokopovitch, former
premier in the Ukrainian govern-
ment. Ile declared that Petlura was
opposed to the pogroms but the po-
grom b d leaders disobeyed him and
acted i iependently.
Sch irtzbard, who was brought
into t courtroom handcuffed. ap-
peared in good spirits. When he ap-
peared he was applauded by the pub-
lic in the courtroom. Madam Pet-
lura and her Ukrainian friends wait-
ed outside the courtroom. When the
hearing ended Schwartzbard, who
was taken back to the jail through
the courtroom, remarked to the jour-
nalists: "Give my heartiest regards
to the Jewish people."
At the close of the court session
n lively skirmish took place. Madam
Petlura rushed up to Mrs. Anna
. Schwartzbard and started to beat her
with a stick she held in her hand. The
police intervened and removed Mrs.
l'etlura from the courtroom.
Schulgin, well known Ukrainian
patriot and former member of the
Ukrainian government, arrived in
Paris to give assistance to the Uk-
rainian committee on the Schwartz-
bard trial. Dr. Arnold Margolin of
New York, former Supreme Court
Justice of the Ukraine and at one
time member of the Petlura govern-
ment, refused the request of the Uk-
rainian committee to come to l'aris
to offer testimony in favor of Pet-
lura, it was stated here.
