(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - Admiis-
tratlon determination to enforce loyal-
ty and discipline throughout the army
has resulted in an order by Sec.
Dwight F. Davis, for a rigid investiga-
tion of air service activities in Wash-
ington.
The war secretary acted after docu-
mentary evidence had reached'him in-
dicating the existence of an organized
piopaganda to obtain air service leg-
islation not in harmony with the air
policy of the Coolidge administration.
The pupose of the investigation, which
is in charge of Maj. Gen. Eli A. Hel-
mick, inspector general of the army,
is to determine what connection air
service personnel may have had with
the circulation of an anoymous com-
mnunication urging that pressure be
brought on Congress to secure the en-
actment of an air corps bill. .In the
inquiry General Helmick is being as-
sisted by Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chief of the army air service, and Brig.
Gen. James E. Fechet, assistant avia-
tion chief.
The communication under scrutiny
indicates that it was intended for air
officers of the regular forces, the Na-
tional Guard and organized reserves
all over the country, and calls for*
education work, with members of Con- 1
gress, "to put accross the idea of re-
organization" of the air service, the I
present being Ylescribed as "the psy-
chological moment for you to get
busy."
"It is to your interest that you get
in touch with these people as you
future in the service . will depend
largely on legislation in this session
of Congress," the united communica-
tion says, calling attentlon that there
are. "people of prominence in your
state who could communicate effec-
tively with senators and representa-
tives."
The document makes it plain tht
pressure is desired to enact the bill
reorganizing the air service as an in-
dependent corps similar to the marine
corps in the Navy, and points out that
General Patrick has presented such a
plan to the House military committee
last month.M

Returns To Public
CAUSES CONTROVERSY
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Repeal of
the law allowing publication of the
.mounts of income tax payments was
approved tonight by the Senate.
The action of the House in putting
this provision in the tax reduction bill
was accepted by acclamation after
the Senate had rejected, 49 to 32, the
Norris amendment to open all income
tax returns to public inspection.
The Senate went into its first night
meeting of the session before reach-
ing a vote on the publicity provision,
which was regarded as one of the!
most controversial points in the bill.
Determined to get a final vote on
the measure before the end of the
week, both Republican and Democrat
members are prepared to continue the
day- and night sessions.
Wednesday has been set as the
deadline for passage of the bill by
the Senate if tax reduction is to be
assured by March 15, when first in-
come installments are due.

sidered, and the final decision on the
stadium question reached.
The report of the Senate was re-,
ceived at the last meeting -of the Re-
gents, on Jan. 28, but was tabled and
made a special order of business for
this month, due to the fact that cer-
tain of the Regents wished to make
a further study of the portions of the1
report before taking final action. How-
ever, according to Shirley W. Smith,
secretary of the University, the Re-
gents were pleased with the report
of the Senate committee.
Stadium plans have already been
approved by the Board in Control of
Athletics, and with the unanimous ac-
ceptance by the University Senate of
a report which advocated a new struc-'
ture outside of Ferry field, the Board
of Regents' decision is the only step
left in the ratification of the new sta-
dium.
Coach Fielding H. Yost, director of
intercollegiate athletics, who will
spend the next two weeks on a speak-
ing tour, will be in Ann Arbor on
Feb. 25, when the Regents meet.

Ideas Outlined In Inaugural Address
Include Orientation Of Freshmen,
Housing and Alumni Problems
Tentative plans have been an-
nounced by President Clarence Cook
Little for development of the Univer-
sity personnel work as outlined in his
inaugural address. An orientation
period for freshmen, a modification of
the educational program for women,
provisions for a preliminary study of
vocational guidance, improvement of
housing conditions, and the elements
in common between pre-school, cle-
mentary school, high school, and col-
lege educations will be among the first!
matters to be studied.
Prof. William A. Frayer, of the his-
tory department, will devote part-
time next fall to a study of the possi-
bilities of establishing an orientationj
period for freshmen, which would cor-
respond to the Freshman Week out-
lined by President Little in his
inaugural address.
He will also investigate means of
improving the transition from under-
graduate status to that of alumnus.
The aim will be to educate the stu-
dents in such a way that they will
be better alumni, more useful to thej
University and with more direct con-1
tact with its activities.
Housing conditions will be investi-
gated by Robert C. Angell, of the
sociology department, particularly
with the aim of bettering the living
conditions of non-fraternity men, and
centering on the feasibility of group-
ing their rooming and boarding houses.
Funds were provided at the last
meeting of the Board of Regents for
a preliminary study of vocationalI
guidance. This study will be under
the directionof Prof. Clardnce %.
Yoakum, of the School of Business
Administration.
In the near future someone will be
appointed to investigate the possibility
of modifying the educational program
for women. A plan was recently for-
mulated by a joint committee of Uni-
versity representatives and members
of the State Medical association for
changes in the educational plan, andI

--.
Prof. Harlow Shapley, director of
the Harvard observatory, will give
the eighth lecture of the Oratorical
association season course Thursday
evening in l1ll auditorium. His sub-
ject will be "Beyond the Milky Way".
Professor Shapley's astronomical
work has been given credit for mak-
ing a new epoch in our conception of
the immensity of the stellar universe.
yIn 1907, while a student at the Uni-
t versity of Missouri, he commenced the
studies that later resulted in the new
conclusions as to the size of the per-
ceptible universe.
He was from the first interested in
the study of "Cepheid variables", those
brilliant stars that are thought to be
tremendous globes of pulsating gases,
a hundred times brighter than the
sun. The three years following 1911
were spent at Princeton, where lie
studied and worked with Prof. 1. N.
Russell, receiving the degree of doc-
tor of philsophy. In 1914, he joined
the staff of the famous Mt. Wilson ob-
servatory in California, going on a
leave of absence in March of last year
to the observatory at Harvard.
At Mt. Wilson, Dr. Shapley per-
fected his method of measuring star
distances photometrically. He then
applied the method to the problem of
the distances and structure of the
great star-clusters, with the result
that the stellar universe, as known to
scientists, is at least a thousand tines
larger than it was before the distances
to the clusters were measured.

AIR INVESTIGATIONI
Charges Use Of Espionage System By

Aimed At General Patrick
PRAISES VETERAN CHIEF
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-An espion-
age system is being maintained In the
army air service, William Mitchell,
former assistant air chief, charged to-
night, declaring the investigation by
Secretary Davis into air service activi-
ties in Washington was primarily
aimed at Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
head of the army air service.
An anonymous communication said
to have been sent out to obtain con-
gressional support for the air corps
bill and which the war department is
investigating, was said by Mitchell to
have been I part a summary of Gen-
eral Patrick's memorandum being
prepared for Congress and was sent
out by a civilian reserve officer. He
was told, he added, that a clerk "pre-
sumably acting as a spy," sent a copy
of General Patrick's memorandum to
Secretary Davis.
This action of Mr. Davis, he charged,
was carried out at the behest "of the
war department clique", and was just
another example of the attempt of the
department to intimidate those hold-
ing different air views, and to keep
accurate information from the public.
Mitchell said the new department
proceeding was "aimed at any change
in existing conditions at all." Gen-
eral Patrick, he said, was "the only
member of the old regime to see the
light and conme out and tell the truth
about it."

Deadlock In Conference Standing
Will Not Be Broken Until Satur-
day's Ganes Are Played
By Joseph Kruger
Michigan went into a deadlock with
Wisconsin for first place in the Big
Ten basketball race by virtue of an
easy victory registered over the Min-
nesota five last night at the Yost field
house by a score of 33-22.
The Wolverines and Badgers are
perched on top of the heap with a
record of three victories and one de-
feat, and there is no chance to dis-
place either of them until Saturday
night, when Chicago will battle "Doc"
Meanwell's squad and Michigan will
face Iowa at Iowa City.
Although Michigan failed to accu-
mulate a large total last night, there
was no point in the contest that found
the Gophers threatening. Michigan
assumed the lead immediately after
the start of the game when Oosterbaan
scored a field goal, and then was nev-
er headed.
Coach Mather started Chambers and
Harrigan at the forwards, Oosterbaan
at center, and Doyle and Reece at the
guard positions, and this combination
showed flashes of clever passwork,
but the work for the greater part of
the second half was listless.
Michigan led the Gopher quintet, 20-
7, at the close of the first half, Mc-
Kinnon accounting for the only basket
for the visitors during this period.
Minnesota outscored Michigan, 15-13,
during the second half, however, the
Wolverines lagging on defense and
permitting men to get a man in the
clear. '
It is interesting to note that the
Wolverines were at their best in foul
throwing last night, accounting for
nine free throws out of 11 chances.
Oosterbaan was the individual scor-
ing ace with three baskets and four
free throws to his credit while Cham-
I bers, with three field goals and two
fouls, was close behind. Ed Reece
played a fine game in the first half,
scoring seven points, but the dimuini-
t iveplayerfailed to send the ball
3 through the rim in the second period.
Although Frank Harrigan scored
but four points, he played one of his
best games of the season. Awarded
the difficult task of playing the role
formerly played by Cherry, Harrigan
acquitted himself in splendid fashion,
bringing the ball down the floor for
offensive play with considerable abil-
ity. Harrigan's deceptive dribble
bothered the Gophers throughout the
contest.
Walden, substitute center, and Ny-
dahl, substitute guard, proved to be
the high scorers for the visitors, the
former accounting for three field
goals and a free throw and the latter
two baskets and a free throw. Rasey,
the star Gopher forwerd, was held
scoreless from the field.
