Waiting, however, for the oppor- tunity to make a determined fight against the construction of the proposed 15 cruisers and oneair- craft carrier was a formidable group of Senators who hope to de- feat the bill, or at least materially reduce the number of cruisers to be authorized. Democrat Aids Administration Equally determined to keep the measure intact was Chairman Hale, of the Senate naval affairs com- mittee, who was given support in the opening debate today by a Democrat, Senator Swanson of Virginia, who aided the administra- tion in its fight for ratification of the Kellogg pact. Construction of the new ships has the active support of President Coolidge who repeatedly has given expressions to a desire for the authorization of additional war- craft.

MAY ESTABLISH HOSPITAL HERE (By Associated Press) LANSING, Jan. 15.-The question of locating a tuberculosis hospital in Ann Arbor may come up again in the present legislature. I Governor Green, in connection with his income tax plan, proposed a $750,000 appropriation for tu- bercular institutions. Of this, he said, about $500,000 should go with a hospital in Ann Arbor were cases could be brought for classification 1 and in some instances treatment. From Ann Arbor they could ber apportioned to the Howell sanitar- ium or perhaps to the Veterans' Hospital at Camp Custer an ad- ministrative board committee rec- ommended a year ago making the latter a state tubercular institu-, tion.

Bishop, librarion of the University, returned yester- day from a meeting of the Associa- tion of American colleges, which met at Chatanooga, Tenn., Thurs- day, :Friday, and Saturday of last week.

Vincent Massey, first Canadian ambassador to United States. He spoke on the system of granting degrees by the University of To- ronto, with which he is closely connected, having been many times its benefactor. He told of the ar- rangement at the University whereby cooperation was effected with the smaller Christian colleges to Toronto. These are the Presby- terian, Catholic, and Angelican TO GIVE GERMAN LECTURE' TODAY It was erroneously stated in yes-' terday's Daily that Prof. Hans Naumann and Prof. Karl Schurz would give a combined German lecture as a part of the Univer- sity lecture series today.

FOCH SHOWS MARKED GAIN OVER__SICKNE1SS (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 15.-A slight Im- provement in the condition of Marshal Ferdinand Foch was.re- ported by his doctors as they emerged from the early evening consultation over the stricken gen- eralissimo of the Allied army. The 4 fact that they issued no formal communique and that none of the doctors 'remained over night with the patient combined to produce some feeling of encouragement among the Marshal's friends. { There was hope and joy exubr Txbr-ac at Foch's offices in the In- valides building where General Weygand slapped Major L. Hopital on the back and explained: "That is much better,. the great Marshal will see it through," The Major, who is a favorite aid- de-camp of the Marshal, was beaming as were also other mem- bers on the staff.'

Conference Football Officials Dissatisfied With Present .$75 Fee TO DEMAND AN INCREASE 7 (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Revolt over the failure to give increased fees has broken out among many lead- ing football officials of the West- ern Conference, John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics, admit- , ted today. The officials, dissatis- fied with the regular $75 fee, are filling schedules for outside games,R drawing fees ranging from $100 to $150 for each contest. The regular sum in the Big Ten' is now $75, whilet the east, theI south and on the Pacific coast, the stndard fee for all important games is $100, with many of the best officials hitting as high as $200 and $250 for some games. In case the minimum fee of $100 is paid in the east, an additional $50 is added if the official must make an overnight trip to arrive at the scene of the game. Dissatisfied officials declare they are not on a strike nor antagonistic to the Western Conference, but are filling their schedules with games in which they will be better paid. They see no reason, they say, why the Conference remunerates its officials with fees similar to those paid in other parts of the country. With huge stadiums completed in every BigeTen school and crowds averaging better than 30,000 in the Conference, the officials believe the slight increase they demand is too trivial to be an issue with the directors of athletics. It wascre- vealed their demands were con- sidered a-t the December meeting' of the directors but was turned down. Walter H. Eckersall, famous' University of Chicago star and for 22 years an afficial on Western Conference gridirons, declared he would not join the movement but would remain loyal to the Big Ten. "'The Conference made me and I'm going to stick," Eckersall said, "Why, I grew up with it. The only reason I officiate is for the love of the game, not for the size of the fee. If the officials get, the ideal they are bigger than the sport, they, should get that impression out of their heads." IN OFFICIALS' AK Are Hayes Yeager of the speech de- partment of the University of Il- linois acted as a single expert judge of the contest. Michigan was represented by Nadine Stewart, '30, Dora Vanden Berg, '30, and Ollie Backus, '29Ed. Indiana's women's trio was com- posed of Margaret Williams, Avis Goyer, and Agnes Haas. Affirmative At Ohio Michigan's affirmative debating trio left yesterday for Columbus, Ohio, where they will engage the negative team of Ohio State In a debate on this same proposition tonight in the chapel of University hall This trio is composed of Helen McComb, '30, Lois Webb, '29Ed, and Virginia Houghton, '30 They were accompanied to Colum- bus by Floyd K. Reilly, instructor in the speech department. Resolved, that social fraternities and sororities in state universities should be abolished, was the ques- ton which the two teams -consid- ered; Indiana upholding the , af- firmative and Michigan the nega- tive. Indiana Takes Three Points The Indiana trio attacked so- cial fraternities at state univer- sities 'for three reasons. First, they argued that there was no ne- cessity for such organizations. Secondly, they maintained that such social groups were both detri- mental to the students, both with- in and also to the university. Social fraternities and sororities cost more to live in, they create an artificial social distinction based on wealth, and foster snobbishness, in the opinion of the Indiana team. Two members of the team were mem- bers of sororities. Thirdly, it was contended by In- diana that a dormitory system would secure all the advantages of social fraternities without their disadvantages. Michigan, in defnading frater- nities and sororities, admitted that such organizations were not perfect, but that their defects were not inherent and could be eliminated. Furthermore the neg- ative advocated the extension of such social groups so that all who wished might be members, and the erection of dormitories for those students who did not desire to join fraternities. Visitors Fail To Answer Indiana failed to answer suc- cessfully the -argument of the Michiganwomen that the defects which Indiana pointed out in so- cial fraternities were- inherent in human nature, and that the dormitories would not eliminate these defects in human nature. "Uniting in social fraternities and sororities is the simple and natu- ral expression of two social in- stincts, that of gregariousness and the desire for play," argued the negative. Indiana failed to meet this argument. Florence A. Pollock, '8L, acted as chairman of the debate last night. After the contest both teams attended a banquet at the Union, at which the judge and the coaches of the two teams were also present. International Night Preparations Begun Preparations for International Night have been started by the Cosmopolitan club, under whose auspices the annual event is given. Maximino G.
