TO BE FIFTH CONTEST
Will Defend Negative At Columbus

Of Education To Cabinet
Michigan's fifth women's intercol-
legiate debate will be held tonight in
University Hall auditorium when the
University affirmative team meets the
negative team from the University of
Indiana on the subject "Resolved
that a Secretary of Education should
be added to the President's Cabinet."
WAhile the affirmative team debates
here the negative .trio will meet Ohio
State university at Columbus, Ohio, on
the same subject.
The debate here ,which will start at
8 o'clock, will be judged by Prof. A. T.
Weaver of the department of speech
of the University of Wisconsin Miss
Grace Richards, advisor to women,
will preside. Gail E. Densmore of the
department of public speaking has
coached the teams, assisted by Wirt
King, '27L, and will be in charge of
the team here, while Prof. Earl E.
Fleischman of the department of pub-
lic speaking will accompany the team
to Columbus.
The affirmative group which will
speak in University hall will be com-
posed of. Elizabeth L. Rabinoff, '27Ed,
Miriam M. Olden, '29L, and Henrietta
Howser, '27Ed. The team from In-
diana which will oppose them will
consist of Leah Peters, '29, Eleanor
Hohn, '29, and Dorothy Benner, '28.
Michigan's negative team, which will
go to Columbus, will be composed of
Norma A. Green, '28, Laura M. Os-
good, '28Ed, and M. Patricia Hodgson,
'27Ed. The judges and members of
the Ohio State team for this debate
have not yet been announced.
Will Be Deciding Contest
This will be the fifth time that
Michigan has met Ohio State in a
women's debate, teams having met
annually since 1922, and it will also
be a deciding contst Becaie each
chool has won two of the four pre-
vious matches. It will only be the'
second time that Indiana women have
met Michigan, since the debate has
been a triangular affair for only two
years. Last year the Michigan team
lost to the Bloomington trio at
Bloomington.
The Indiana team, accompanied by
Prof. L. R. Norvelle of the department
of speech at that university, will ar-
rive in Ann Arbor some time this
afternoon, and the Michigan team will
leave for Columbus this morning.
After the debate tonight both the
Michigan and Indiana teams will be
the guests of the office of the advisors
of women at a reception and spread
in their honor in the corrective room
of Barbour gymnasium. The judge
of the debate, Professor Weaver, will
also be a guest at the spread and the
coaches of both teams, together with
Prof. H. D. T. Hollister and Mrs. Hol-
lister.
Only One Experienced
Of the six members of the two Mich-
igan teams that will compete tomor-
row night only one has had previous
experience in intercollegiate debate
work here. Norma A. Green, '28, took
part in the Ohio State debate last year
on the child labor question. At that
time she was the only sophomore on'
the women's teams. She will be a
member of the affirmative team again
toight.
Th speeches .will be 12 minutes in
length, followed by a 5 minute re-
buttal speech on the part of each de-
bater. The debate will be open to the

public and no admission will be
charge.-
Prof. Earl E. Fleischman of the
,public speaking department, who has
assisted in the work of preparing the
teams, believes they are among theI
best that have represented Michigan
and thinks that they have an evenI
chance of beating their annual rivals.
This is the second time that ,the de-
bate has been a triangular affair,
as Indiana was admitted last year.
This is the only intercollegiate pub-
lic speaking activity that is open to
the w6men of the University, and was
established due to the fact that they3
so seldom made the regular teams
for the Midwest and Central league
debates. The men for these squads
are now regularly chosen from the
intercollegiate debate class taught by
Professor Densmore, and the selec-
tions of the teams for the Central
league contest will be made sometime
before Christmas from the members
of this class, according to an an-
nouncement made yesterday.

DEFENSE FOR FALL AND DOHENY
IN OIL CONSPIRACY OPENSTODAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-A new
guidepost in the legal wilderness cen-
tered on the oil reserve leasing
policies of the Harding administra-
tion was reared in the Supreme Court'
of the District of Columbia today
when government counsel virtually
completed their case in the Fall-
Doheny conspiracy trial.
The defense will begin presenta-
tion of evidence tomorrow after a ten
minute re-examination of Senator
Walsh, of Montana, the Senate oil
committee prosecutor of three years
ago, on technical points for the
record.
Half a dozen witnesses were called
by the prosecuti6n today in an effort
to establish personal responsi1tj ty
of former Secretary Fail on the In-
terior department for the major de-
velopment in the oil leasing program.
In every case, the defense, on cross-
examination, sought to establish that
the intimate contact maintained by'
the Navy department with negotia-
tions involving naval reserves were
such to render impossible any col-

lusion between Fail and Edward L.
Doheny in the interests of Doheny's
Pan-American Petroleum company's
lease of the Elk Hills oil reserve.
k. letter from President Harding,
Jure 7, 1922, to the Senate, in response
to a resolution requesting information
of the Administration's leasing policy,
was offered by the defense.
"I think it is only fair to say in this
connection," the letter read, "that the
policy which has been adopted by the
Secretary of the Navy and the Secre-
tary of the Interior in dealing with
these matters, was submitted to me
prior to the adoption thereof, and the
policy decided upon, and the subse-
quent acts have at all times had my
approval."1
Previous evidence by the prosecu-1
tion had fixed the date of the Pan-1
American company's contract for the
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, naval storage
base as April 25, 1922. This contract
gave the Doheny interests "preferen-
tial rights on such portions of the
California naval reserve as might obe
thereafter opened to leasing.''

PARTY STRIFE GROWS1

BEST TAXREDUCTION
CUT PROPOSED BY MiNORITY

BY DEMOCRATS
{ LONGWORTH IS OPPOSED
Speaker Of House Wishes To Apply
Sorplus To Credit Proposal Or
Reduction Of Pbli Debt
(By Associated Press)
V A S'H I N G T ON, Dec. 1.-The
breach between Republicans and
Democrats over how to tap the treas-
ury surplus to the best advantage of
the taxpayers' pocket books, widened
today at the Capitol.
This subject virtually excluded allt
other issues, and drew into the vor-
tex of discussion practically every
recognized party leader of the House,
where revenue legislation must origi-
nate.
IHouse Democratic laes fe
conference, came out in favor of an
immediate $31,000,000 cut in tax rates,
while Republican party chieftains
stoutly maintained that they would 
oppose, as ill advised, a new revenue!
bill at the approaching session. i
Minority Drafts Program
The Democratic program, drafted
by minority members of the House
ways and means committee, which has
initial jurisdiction in taxation mat-
ters, is based on an agreement reach-i
1 ed between Representative Garner, ofE
Texas, ranking Democrat on the com-
mittee, and Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, who heads the minor-t
ity membership of the Senate finance
committee.
Under the Democratic proposal, the
corporation tax, at present 13 1-2 per
cent, would be cut probably to 11 per
cent. The plan was made public by.
Chairman Oldfield of the Democratic
congressional committee, who said:
"The exact rate of the corporation
tax was left subject to determination
after further figures for which the
treasury has been asked are available.
It is the sense of the conference that
the treasury will have a surplus at
the end of the present fiscal year, ap-
proximating a half-million-dollars and
further relief to the tax payers can
well betafforded and ought to be given
without delay."'
Longworth Visits White House ~
Even before the Democratic pro-
gram had been announced, Speaker
1 Longworth, after a visit to the White
House, asserted he was opposed to
tax reductioi at present and felt the
treasury surplus should either be ap-
i plied to President Coolidge's tax
credit proposal or to reduction of the
public debt.
The Democratic plan also will en-
counter the opposition of Chairman
Madden of the House appropriations
committee, who holds that the 70th.
Congress would present the right
time for a new revenue law, although
in his opinion, the President's pro-
posal should be enacted at this ses-
sion.
Both Madden and Longworth con-
tended it was impossible to estimate
returns under the present revenue act
and that Congress must go slow for
that reason.

Manner Of Life In
European Colleges
Related By Coffey
Taking particularly a comparative1
viewpoint, Prof. Hobart R. Coffey, of
the Law school, related incidentsE
characteristic of student life in Euro-I
pean universities, last night at the
Student's Press club meeting.
Professor Coffey stressed the diffi-f
culty which is confronted in entering
I universities in France and Germany.
In France he found it expedient to ar-
rive about six weeks in advance of the
opening of the semester, while pro-
fessors, on the other hand, arrived
whenever convenient and dismissedt
their respective clasess when they
had completed the necessary details
of the course. Professor Coffey cited
the fact that European students are
about 10 times as independent as theirI
American contemporaries, this being{
an inevitable consequence of their
1 environment.
The chief diversion of the GermanI
students, he stated, is reading. They
are especially interested in the in-
i terpretation of events as recorded in
the world-wide newspapers filed in
their study halls. This is to a less
degree true of the French who have
no sports, fraternities, student news-
papers or magazines, and glee clubs
with which to otherwise occupy them-
selves, he said.
Asked what the attitude of these
" European students is regarding Amer-
ican students entering their univer-
sities, Professor Coffey stated that he
was surprised to discover that the

Negro Will Lecturej
On Race's Relation
To Art, Literature[
Alain LeRoy Locke, Negro lecturer
and author, will discuss the various
aspects of the relationship- of the
Negro to art and literature in a lee-
ture upon "The Negro Renaissance,"
to be given in Natural Science audi-
Itorium at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
f The lecture is under the auspices of
the Negro-Caucasian club and will be
n to the public.
Dr. Locke received degrees from
'Harvard university and later was a
Rhodes scholar at Oxford university.
Following his study at Oxford, Dr.
Locke studied at the University of
Berlin and since then has held a pro-
fessorship of philosophy at Howard
university. He is a member of Phi'
j Beta Kappa and similar honoraryl
scholastic societies.
During the past few years Dr.
I Locke has attained recognition as anj
authority upon all phases, of the
literature, drama and music of thel



Negro, and his writings in this field
are said to have drawn the achieve-
ments of the Negro into greater promi-
Inence.
Turning his endeavors toward this
end, of attaining a wider recognition
of the value of Negro literature to
!the world, Dr. Locke has written ex-
tensively and published many com-
pilations of the important works of
the Negro, chief among which is "The
New Negro."
