RIGHT HOPKINS MAKES TALK BEFORE FIFTH ANNUAL HONORS CONVOCATION 6 STRESSES "BALLAST AND SAIL" ACCOMPANIED BY DEFINITEI CONVICTIONS IS DARTMOUTH PRESIDENT Internal Relations.Of Life Should Be Adapted To External Changes, Educator Emphasizes Stressing the necessity of both "bal- last and sail" in types of citizens, the need for open mindedness accompan- ied by definite convictions, and recog- nition of leadership rather than mere- ly the effort to develop it, President Ernest M. Hopkins of Dartmouth col- lege addressed the fifth annual Honors Convocation yesterday morning. More thal 300 designated honor students, largely from this year's sen- ior class, occupied the section in the front of the auditorium reserved for them, wearing academic caps and gowns, and more than 2000 others at- tended the session. A selection by the University Glee club and the singing of "The Yellow and Blue" featured the convocation. Emphasizes Internal Relations Internal relations of life, President Hopkins emphasized, must be adapted to changing external relations. It is a most valuable part of the function of the "amateur scholar" the educat- ed citizen, to study these relations and appreciate their development. In order to allow for the training of a type of individual capable of realiz- ing these necessities, he said, the ideal college should involve largely leisure time, besides the rush of stud- ies and activities. Americans tend to urge activity, he said, thus over-estimating the value of motive forces. He likened thef course of human life to that of a ship,. pointing out that while without sails there can be no motion, without bal-] last there can be no balance. In life, it is necessary to have two classes1 of effort and opinion, that. which is active, and that which stabilizes. Two Elenethts of Value The two elements were estimated1 of equal value, and said to be mutuallyf essential. To have progress there must be definite opinions, avoiding the com- placent equanimity which results from over-emphasized open-minded-' ness. The nation, President Hopkins ex-] plained, does not appear to be lacking in leadeship. The development of1 qualities of leadership is so stressed' in popular discussion of education that] he fears that the importance of the recognition of leadership when it ex-' lists. The factors of operation must not be given too much power, but must be inter-act with the actors of ' management. In discussing more in detail the various problems of scholarship, Pres- ident Hopkins pointed out that the social sciences have an additional complication to those of the practical) poences, in that while in the latter thel problems can be seen and locatedi clearly, in the founer the questions are obscured, and require painstaking labor ti be ascertained.] NEW YORK ENDS FLIERS' WELCOME (By Associated Press)e NEW YORK, May 1-New York brought to an end its formal welcome to the three men who flew the At- lantic from east to west in the Be- men with a banquet tonight at which representatives of Germany, Ireland, and New York state paid tribute to their daring and skill. In the ballroom of the Hotel Com- modore, decorated with more than 250 , American, German and Irish flags, with a metal miniature of the Bremen suspended from a chandelier in the center, those foritunate enough to ob- tain places gathered for the dinner. Three other large rooms were re- quired to care for all of the morel than 4000 diners. Mayor James J. Walker, as toast- master, introduced the speakers, Dr. Frpderick W. Prittwitz, German ambassador, S. A. Smitty, minister-potentiary of the Irish free state, Maj.-Gen. William M. Haskell, representing Governor Smith, and John D. O'Brien, president of the So- ciety of the Friendly Sons of St. Pa- trick. The addresses were broadcast by the National Broadcasting company and associated stations. 'ARCHITECT PARTY f CALIFORNIA HAS HEAVY BALLOTING (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-Heavy balloting in southern California where nine counties have 52 per -cent of the total registration of the state, and a light vote in the northern part of the state, was reported in today's presi- dential primary. With Herbert Hoover unopposed for the 29 delegates to the Republican national convention from hi's home state, interest centered in the three cornered race between Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, and Sen. James A. Reed, of Missouri, for the votes ofs 465,000 registered Democrats, approx- imately one-fourth of the states's reg- istration. The outcome of the contest for con- trol of the 26 California votes that will be cast at the Houston conven- ,tion, state political leaders predicted, might be the determining factor in the selection of the Democratic presi- dential nominee. L o s Angeles county, admitted stronghold of William C. McAdoo forces supported Walsh, reported' heavy balloting, with a prediction of, one of the large'st vote records for several years.

U~m_' (ACTIVITY IN CONGRESS HALTED BY DEATH Of NEW YORK DELEGATE REPRESENTATIVE SWEET AS RESULT OF AIR ACCIDENT DIES WILL MEET_!AGAIN TODAY Inquiries On Soft Coal Industry Of Ohio Valley Are Finally Concluded In House (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 1.-Death a- gain turned aside plans of congres- sional leaders today, word of the aeroplane accident in which Repre- sentative Sweet, of New York, lost his life, causing the House to adjourn without completing general debate on the farm relief bill. The Senate ad- journed out of respect to the memory of the dead legislator, the sixth mem- ber of the 70th Congress to die since December. In the Senate, however, Smoot, of Utah, held the floor for another two hours and more to complete his op- position to the Boulder Dam bill. The end is not yet in sight for the Sen- ate's fight over Boulder Dam. 'Ifomor- row, however, the rules committee of the House will take up the question of providing legislative right-of-way in that body for the huge rver regu- lation project. When the unexpected House ad- journment was taken during the farm relief debate, the time alloted for speech making on the subject was al- most exhausted. To prevent further interruption and bring the voting date forward tomorrow the Republi- can management attempted unsuc- cessfully to defer routing, and con- tinue as soon as the House meets at noon. The outlook was indefinite, however, as to when the first amend- ment would be dealt with. Plan For Investigation A new investigation that may prove important in the 1928 campaign will have its preliminary tomorrow when Chairman Stewer, of Oregon, named today by Vice-president Daw- es, called together for the first time the special committee create l to ex- plore expenditures by and for presi- dential candidates. Thus each can-' didacy will come under quiz and from what angle will be for the com- mittee to decide.

The Union ballroom will be the scene of the ance, which is to be held Friday, May 18. According to James Hughey, '28, general chairman of the affair, the event will be a suc- fessful one for the class as a large portion of the tickets have already been disposed of. Music will be fur- nished by Frankie Quartell's record- ing orchestra. Favors for the ball have been or dered for some time and will probably be distributedthis week to all ticket holders by the committee in charge.

SINCLAIR QUESTIONED BYCOMMITTEE AFTER, a FOUR YEARS ABSENCE OIL MAGNATE SENTENCED TO THREE MONTH TERM FOR NOT TESTIFYING MUST EXPLAIN TRANSFER Investigators Cross-Examinen Operator And Instruct Him To Be Ready For Further Testimony (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 1.-Reappear- ing before the Senate Teapot Dome committee after an absence of four yearstHarry F. Sinclair revealed to- day that a total of $757,000 of the liberty bond profits of the Continent- al Trading company of Canada were delivered to him. The lessee of Teapot Dom'e, who is under a sentence of three.months in jail by reason of his refusal to testi- fy further before the Senate investi- gators .in 1924, declared that he had paid over a like amount of securities plus $142,000 in interest to Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing company after. his acquittal here 10 days ago on a charge of criminal conspiracy inr connection with the lease of the Wy- oming naval oil reserve. Company Secures Interest 1 This company purchased one-half of the oil which the Continental con-{ cern bought from the late A. E. Humphreys, of Denver, and it re-; ceived $759,500 in liberty bonds 10: days ago from Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Stand-1 ard Oil Company of Indiana, who,i with Sinclair, H. W. Blackmer, andi James E. O'Neill were the moving c figures in the Continental transac- tions.: Sinclair was on the stand for moret than four hours and was subjected to a searching inquiry by Senator Walsh of Montana, the committee prosecut- or; Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, chairman of the committee, and Senator Bratton, Democrat, New Mexico. His chief counsel, Martin W.t Littleton, of New York, upon whose advice he refused to answer fourt years ago, sat to his left, and the twot conferred occasionally. The committee apparently had notr finished with Sinclar after the two sessons and he was told to hold him-- self in readiness to return tomorrowt if needed. The wealthy oil operator and sportsman appeared entirely at his ease during the two-hour and a quar- ter of the morning session, but ap- parently he began to tire before the afternoon session had ended. He frequently changed his position In the witness chair and occasionally turn- ed his eyes to the celing as he an- swered the rapid fire of uestons. t Sinclair Testifiest From' the first, Sinclair insisted thatI he was unaware that the bonds he I received came from the Continental Trading company; that he knew t Blackmer had arranged to purchaset oil from Humphreys and that he had made his arran'gements with the for-# mer chairman of the board of the1 Midwest Refining company for a share of the profits for his company. Asked whether many of the bonds had been delivered to him by H. S. Osler ,of Toronto, Canada, president of the Continental company, the oil1 operator said he could not recall, but1 his impression was that he receved most if not all of them either from Blackmer or a messenger. He never gave a receipt for any of the secur- ities; as he received them he placed them in his vault along with other, liberty bonds. Covering much of the ground which; other witnesses have gone over in detail, Sinclair said he paid out $233.-; 000 in bonds to M. T. Eberhart, of; Pueblo, Colorado, son-in-law of Al- bert B. Fall, after the lease of Tea-; pot Dome, and asserted that he had received the stock certificates for a one-third interest in Fall's Tres Rios Land and Cattle company in return' for the payment.

Ahern, director of the Tropical Plant Research founda- tion of Washington, D.C., and Arthur Koehler, technician of the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis., were in Ann Arbor yesterday to at- tend a conference on the testing of tropical timber. Material collected in South and Cen- tral America by Tom Gill will soon be shipped to the School of Forestry and Conservation here for wood util- ization tests. Prof. William A. Kynoch of the forestry 'school will conduct the local tests in cooperation with the Tropical Plant Research foundation under whose auspices the Gill expedi- tion was sent out. Mr. Koehler was here to help advise the testers and to inspect the new wood utilization lab- oratory being in'stalled in the old hos- pital heating unit. All of the species collected by the expedition are rare hardwoods of com- paratively little known species. They were secured chiefly in British Guinea and Venezuela. Mr. Gill, who under-' took the expedition, has already re- turned to New York, while the woods are enroute to the United States now. Professor Kynoch of the local forestry school will leave 'soon for New York city where he will supervise the cut- ting up of the species and their ship- ment to Ann Arbor. Logs ten feet long and 16 inches thick will be sent here for testing. In the wood utilization laboratories here the woods will be tested for gen- eral shrinkage, tensile strength, con- tortion, compression, and strength. After these have been determined fac- tory tests as to their, best usage will be made in various factories through- out Michigan.
