SENATE ADJOURNS EARLY

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 3-Death of
another comrgde, tl time Gallivan,
of Massachusetts, brought mourning
to the 70th Congress today, halting
the proceedings, of both House and
Senate ii respect to his memory.
The Ilouse did not open its doors
at all, leaving,the echoes.of the great
chamber to keep company with the
memory of the voice that had so often
set them dancing to its picturesque
phrasing at the time of the prohibi-
tion battle, for Gallivan was a wet of
the wets, a bitter foe of prohibition,
but an orator whose foceful, poweri
ful defense of the cause he champion-
ed rarely failed to bring applause
from wets and drys alike.
Death Causes Adjournment
The Senate adjourned' early be-
cause of the recent deaths in the mem-
bership of Congress, but it adopted
a resolution of yegret and shut up
shop. The farm relief debate was
carried forward another step, Brook-
hart, of Iowa, Independent Republi-
can, training his guns on the revised
McNary-Haugen project, while May-
field; Democrat, Texas, supported it.
When the fight will end in a final
vote is in doubt, although Senate
leaders hopesto finish in two or three
days at most.
The House adjournment blocked
further efforts of that side to get the
flood control bill a definite legisla-
tive status. It also served to precent
formal cognizance of President Cool-
idge's view that the Jones bill as pass-
ed by the Senate is susceptible to
criticism because it fails to fix a
definite cost for the Mississippi pro-
ject. To what extent House action
may be affected towards pruning the
Senate plan to something more in
keeping with administration ideas is
not yet clear.
Senators Investigate Departments
In the course of the Senate debate,
which was interrupted, so far as the
farm bill was concerned, to give Dis-
trict of Columbia appropriations the
right of way, Senators George and
Harris, of Georgia took occasion to
call upon the postoffice and justice
departments for full investigations of
the suicide of the postmaster at Dou-
glas, Georigia, and any connection con-
tributing "enactions" by the Repub-
lican state central committee 'or any
member of it might have with his
death.,
MUSICAL GROUPS
TO GIVECONCERT
As a fitting celebration of Easter-
time, the Varsity band and the Var-
sity Glee club will join tomorrow
night in a special Easter concert in
Hill auditorium.: This concert will be
somewhat similar to the one which
was held last year at the time just
before the Spring vacation, although
different music and arrangements
have been planned throughout.
The concert tomorrow night will
begin at 8 o'clock and will be free!
to all, students and townspeople
alike. Both organizations have been
working on the music and specialties
for tomorrow night's concert since

the opening of the new semester, and
many new pieces have been intro-
duced into the already-large reper-
toire o! the two societies. Easter
music will coni'pose most of the pro-
gram, but it is expected that a few
Michigan songs will be played at the
end of the program.

Count Hermann Keyserling, noted
German philosopher and hailed by
many as the leading thinker in the
world today, who will deliver a lec-
ture here April 19 in Hill auditorium,
has left behind him an increasing
stream of argument and criticism as
he progresses around the United
States on his speaking tour.
The single statement of Count Key-
serging that has brought him most
notoriety is his statement that the
United States is fast becoming a ma-
triarchate. "America," says Count
Keyserling, "is governed by women.
Already America is the most closely
regulated socially of all nations. And
women will only serve to make it
more so."
"The man who would be a genius,"
declares Count Keyserling, "should
never marry. Marriage overwhelm-
ingly defeats all individuality in a
man and makes his thoughts serif to
those of his wife. During 800, years
of the world's history no man of spirit
ever married." The foregoing are the
statements that have brought criti-
cism and have stimulated discussions
on the matter in private, in public
and in the public prints.
Count Keyserling's other discovery
with rega!Nl to the United States is
that the people here, more than the
people of England, are more deeply

engrossed in social questions than
they are in intellectual ones. Amer-
ica, he believes is too well organized,
too well institutionalized. It is also
too commercialized, he believes, and
will "run down" in brt a short time.
These two arguments, among the
many others which have been advanc-
ed by Count Keyserling, have form-
ed the center of a practical discus-
sion in all cities where they have
been priesented. But coming from this
leader of philosophy in the world,
they have won attention and have
been found hard to refute. The sub-
ject of Count Keyserling's lecture in
Ann Arbor has not yet been :nounc-
ed by the committee.

SIXTH ANNUAL GRIDIRON BANQUET
AND PRESENTATIOIN Of OIL CAN
POLITICAL SETTING TO BE FEATURE
OF "RAZZFEST" SPONSORED BY
SIGMA DELTA CHI
Traditions will be shattered, reputations will go glimmering and
political history will be made, with what presages to be one of the most
uproarious "national nominating conventions" in American history
scheduled to be held tonight at the sixth annual Gridiron banquet in the
Union. The annual "razzfest," which is sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalistic fraternity, is scheduled to start at 7 o'clock, and
the doors t)to the convention hall will be thrown open at 6:30 o'clock,
in order to allow delegates to be seated before the first keynote is
sounded.
As early as yesterday afternoon state and national politicians began
to swarm about the streets, and indications late last night were that
about 350 delegates would participate in the fireworks, according to
ierbert E. Vedder, '28, general
SUIINhL AND chairman of the banquet. Waldo
M. Abbot, of the rhetoric department,
"roastmaster" of last year's fame, will
hold the gavel and preside over the
rostrum. It was rumored that the

MEDICAL CLASS
STAGES SMOKER
Charles H. Ross, '31M, was the re-
cipient of the traditional brown derby
presented to the man who commits
the most blatant "Faux pas" during
his first year in the Medical school.
AThe presentation was made last night
at the annual Frosh Medic smoker -
Dr. Fredericl G. Novy, professor
of bacteriology and director of the
hygienic laboratory, and John F. Hu-
her, '29M, were the speakers of the
evening. The affair was in charge of
J. W. Hubly, president of the fresh-
man medical class.

le abides by his word, he will either
be here in person or send someone in
his place. In view of this fact, special
arrangements hfave been made to wel-
come the Chicago official. Others of
prominence, including faculty men,
.will be scattered about the hall, ac-
cording to the general chairman.
The convention hall itself will be
decorated with flags, red, white, and
blue bunting, banners and cards, all'
befittingthe occasion. The rostrum.
will be facing the door, and all exits
blocked to prevent escape, and the or-
chestras will be located at each end of -
the hall. An old fashioned German -
band will provide the noise at one end
of the room, while Bob Carson's Buc-
caneers will be located at the other
end.
Two features of the annual "razz-
fest" will be the awarding of the cov-
eted. "Oil Can," which will be relin-
quished by Prof. William A.' Frayer,
of the history department, despite his
campaign for re-election, and the
reading of the "favorable epitaph,"
the one serious event on the program.
Rumors, various and hectic, were
circulating last night and early this
morning as to the probable recipient
of the "Oil Can," who for one year
will be entitled to be known as the
"Loquacious Lubricator." Officials
connected with the affair were 'silent
as to the possible choice, while there
was also the possibility, they said, of
his being elected tonight.
To Pledge Secrecy
In accordance with a custom ob-
served since the first Gridiron ban-
quet, delegates will be required to
pledge themselves not to publish or
repeat anything said during the
course of the evening, and nothing
slanderous or libelous will go beyond
the banquet itself, with the exception
of the announcement of the winner of
the "Oil Can."
Committees for the banquet were as
follows: invitations and tickets, Ken-
