Michigan Captures Every Event
in Vanquishing Visiting
Y. M. C. A. Team.
GOLDSMITH IS DEFEATED
Schmeiler Lowers Big Ten Mark
in 200-Yard Breaststroke;
Wins Two Races.
By Sheldon C. Fullerton,
Michigan's Varsity - tank team,
flashing a form that far outclassed
anything that their opponents had
to offer, swam to a 62-13 victory
over Grand Rapids Y. M. C. A. last
night in a dual meet at the In-
tramural building pool.
Capturing both relay events and
first and second places in everyI
race and the diving, the Wolverines
were never in danger from the first
of the meet to the end. Only one
record was broken, that coming in
t h e 200-yard breaststroke when
Schmeiler completed the extra 100
yards after swimming the required
distance for the meet, in time low-
ering the Big Ten record by :01.6
seconds.
Goldsmith Left Behind.
The anticipatcd feature race of
the evening b e t w ; e n Schneiler
andMiller of Michigan, and Bob
Goldsmith, a former Wolverine star
who swam last night for the Grand
Rapids team, failed to materialize
when both of the Varsity men fin-
ished far ahead of Goldsmith, who
came in a poor fourth.
Schmeiler was also victorious in
the 100 yard freestyle event, when
he nosed out Smith by inches to
take the closest race of the evening.
Another close event saw Marcus
cop the 50 yard freestyle by a
hand's length f r o in Klintworth.
None of the other races were close,
Michigan taking both relays by a
complete length of the pool..
Degener Gives Exhibition.
A water polo game between the
Varsity and a team of former Mich-
igan swimmers followed the meet,
with the present team winning by
a 2-1 score. Dick Degener, fresh-
man diver, and former national
mterschola'tic diving champ, gave
a sensational exhibition of high
board diving during an intermis-
sion in the meet.

FOR MISSING MAN
Rea Attempts to Locate Student
Gone Since Saturday.
Investigation launched by Walter
B. Rea, assistant to the dean of
students, in an effort to locate Ger-
ald H. Carlton, '34, who disappeared
from his rooming house at 911 For-
est avenue Saturday night, has
failed to disclose the whereabouts
of the missing student.
Station WJR in Detroit broadcast
a description of Canlton today. This
information has also been furnish-
ed to police departments through-
out the state. Carlton is 20 years
old, rather slim of build, is about
five feet, eight inches in height;
has very blond hair, wears glasses,
and has had his left index finger
amputated at the first joint. In
spite of the cold weather, he was
wearing no hat and only a light
topcoat when last seen Saturday.

MAY BEEXECUTED
Prosecutor to Ask for Extreme
Penalty for Eight Guilty
of Treason.
(By Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Dec. 3.-Eight Russian
engineers accused of plotting the
overthrow of the Soviet government
may know before the end of the
week whether they must pay with
their lives for their acts of treason.
It was generally admitted that
Prosecutor N. B. Krilenko will de-
mand the death penalty in his
summation tomorrow night, but
some doubt existed whether the ex-
treme penalty would be exacted
from all the defendants.
' There was strong belief the death
sentence would be imposed on all
eight, but later would be commut-
ted in the cases of some of the de-
fendants to 10 years imprisonment.
This is considered a long prison'
term in Soviet Russia.
Workers and peasants throughout
the nation have almost unanimous-
ly demanded death, but in view of
the fact that most of the defend-
ants have bared complete details
of the plot for foreign intervention
and have aided the government in
rounding up hundreds of others as
conspirators, it is thought probable
that some degree of leniency may
be shown.1
None of the defendants seemed
apprehensive over his fate today.
Professor Leonid Ramzin, the
leader of the conspiracy, placidly
smoked cigarets, smiled occasional-
ly and studied documents relating
to the case. The others listened im-
perturably to the court proceedings,
more like casual spectators than
defendants.
Committee Will Meet
To Consider New Code
The committee of the Michigan
State Bar assocition that is revising
the state corporation code, will
meet Saturday and Sunday at the
Lawyers' club.
At the meeting the committee
will consider the tentative draft of
the revised code, drawn up by Prof.
Laylin K. James of the Law school.
[t will be presented to the state
legislature for approval when that
body meets next month.
Merton Wiley, former attorney
general of this state is chairman of
ihe committee. Other members in-

SEES INCOME DECREASE
Congress Warned Against Large
Appropriations Under
Economy Program.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-A deficit
lies ahead and tax rates must be
increased, but still, President Hoov-
er today told Congress, the govern-
ment's finances are in a thorough-
ly sound condition.
The deficit he estimated at $180,-
000,000, and he said, in his annual
message transmitting the budget,
that the one percent income tax
reduction granted a year ago could
not be continued.
But he submitted a balanced
budget for the fiscal year 1932 and
a statement that rigid economy in
legislation would give the nation
a surplus of $30,600,000 for that
period.
Income Decrease Probable.
"A heavy decrease in probable in-
come and the necessity to increase
public works," and aid employment,
he said, do "not warrant continua-
tion" of the tax reduction.
The chief executive found no
cause for concern in the impending
I deficit. It amounts to less than
five percent of the total govern-
ment expenditure.
"When we stop to consider that
we are progressively amortizing our
public debt, and that a balanced
budget is being presented for 1932,
even after drastic writing down of
expected revenue," his message ran,
"I believe it will be agreed our gov-
ernment finances are in a sound
condition."
Can Meet Appropriations.
Although asserting appropria-
tions to relieve employment and
help farmers of the drought area
would tend to increase the deficit
as estimated, he expressed the opin-
ion these needs could be met with-
out undue danger.
The president was emphatic in
warning Congress against extrava-
gant appropriations. Strict econo-
my must be observed, he said, if
the narrow surplus estimated for
next year is to be realized and a
deficit for that period avoided.
DEBATERS DISCUSS
INSURANCE ISSUE
Negative Team Competes With
Albion in No-Decision
Forensic Contest,
Michigan's Varsity negative de-
bating team last night met the Al-
bion affirmative squad at Albion
in a no-decision contest on the
question, "Resolved: that the sev-
eral states should enact legislation
providing for compulsory unem-
ployment insurance." The team
will engage Kalamazoo normal at
Kalamazoo tonight on the same
question. This subject will be ar-
gued in all debates this year.
Two more no-decision contests,
one with Purdue Dec. 9 at Lafay-
ette. Ind., and the other with De-
Pauw, Dec. 10 at Greencastle, Ind.,
have been scheduled for the nega-
tive team before the first confer-
ence debate of the season with In-
diana Dec. 11. The affirmative
team will meet Ohio State also on
Dec. 11, Floyd K. Riley, coach of
the squad, announced yesterday.
The negative team, in order of
speaking, is composed of John
Huss, '33, Victor Rabinowitz, '31,
and Nathan Levy, '31, with Samuel
Ellis, '33, as alternate. The affir-
mative team, includes John Led-
erle, '33, Leonard Kimball, '33, and
Howard Simon, '32L, with Maurice
Moyer, '32, as alternate.
Coach Riley stated that the ad-
ditional debates which are being
arranged with nearby colleges, will
be announced later. The schedule
arranged for the teams is the most
extensive undertaken in years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The
Senate took under consideration
today more than a score of im-
portant nominations with signs
of trouble ahead for some of the
appointees.
William N. Doak, of Virginia,
to be secretary of labor, succeed-
ing Senator Davis, of Pennsyl-
vania, headed the list submitted
today by President Hoover and
there was every indication of his
early confirmation.
"Thorough Investigation" Asked.
But Democrats and Republican
independents both asked "thorough
investigation" of the men selected
for the newly organized tariff and
power commissions. In the six
tariff commission nominees now
serving under recess appointment
and the five members announced
today for the power commission
centered the main interest. All
nominations were referred to com-
mittees and it is expected hearings
will be held for the tariff and
power commission nominees.
A contest has been threatened
against Eugene Meyer, Jr., of New
York, whose nomination as' gover-
nor of the federal reserve board,
was received today, but his friends
were confident of early confirma-
tion.
Hold Private Discussions.
Three of the six members of the
tariff commission were mentioned
in private discussions in the Senate
today for particular study by the
finance committee-Henry P. Flet-
cher, of Pennsylvania, the chair-
man; Edgar B. Brossard, Republi-
can, Utah, and Alfred P. Dennis,
Democrat, Maryland. The last two
were on the old commision. The
other three members are: Thomas
W. Page, Virginia, and Lincoln
Dixon, of Indiana, Democrats; and
John Lee Coulter, of North Dakota,
Republican.
The five named for the power
commission are: George O t i s
Smith, of Maine, chairman; Frank
R. McNinch, of North Carolina;
Ralph B. Williamson, of Washing-
ton; Marcel Garseud, of Louisiana;
and Claude L. Draper, of Wyoming.
Senator Watson, of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, said "due
consideration" would be askeddof
these nominees. They were referred
to the interstate commerce com-
mittee.
HARD WILL TALK

Tickets Still Available for Third
of Oratorical Series.
William Hard, Washington news-
paper correspondent, will ,appear at
the third of the Oratorical associa-
tion lecture series at 8:15 o'clock
tonight in Hill auditorium. He will
talk on "What Makes Politicians
That Way."
Hard was scheduled to lecture
here last year, but could not appear
because the press association for
which he writes, sent him to Lon-
don to cover the naval parley. While
there, in addition to writing stories
on the conference, he spoke over
the radio on the event. Once or
twice his talks were rebroadcast in
the United States. Besides writing
straight news stories, he has made
many trips abroad to study eco-
nomic and social conditions for
material. He was educated in Eu-
rope, and later was a fellow in
history at Northwestern university.
He has also written several books
since taking up journalism.
A few tickets to the lecture are
still available at the offices of the
speech department in room 3211 in

New York Unemployed Receive
Gift of $1,000,000.
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. - John D.
Rockefeller, and his son, John D.,
jir., today contributed their bit tos
aid New York City's unemployed. I
They gave $1,000,000 to the emer- f
gency unemployment committee,
which is seeking to raise $6,000,000
to give employment to 15,000 menI
during the winter.j
It was estimated the Rockefeller t
gift would give employment to 4,000
men for four months, assuring ank
income to each adequate to take
care of a family.I
It was the largest gift thus far
recorded, the next largest being,
that of $500,000 made by Edward S.
Harkness, several weeks ago when1
the drive started. The Rockefeller
contribution raised the total al-
ready collected to $4,133,000.

Expenses $345,000,000
Per Year.
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The Reichstag,
meeting today for the first time
since last October, listened for an
hour while Herman Dietrich, the
finance minister, outlined a pro-
gram of financial reform which
would cut Germany's expenditures
by $345,000,000 a year, then ad-
journed, postponing debate until
tomorrow.
Tomorrow's session probably will
be a battle royal. The government
party is ready to support Chancell-
or Bruening's program to the last
ditch. The national socialist, and
the other opposition blocs, are pre-
pared to fight his proposals to the
bitter end. The social Democrats,
in the role of innocent bystanders,
probably will get a drubbing= from
both sides.
Some of the communists inter-
rupted Dietrich at several points in
his speech, but on the whole it was
a quiet session.
The new budget, Dietrich said,
has slashed expenses by about
$265,190,000 but its measures can
be made to stand up only by the
Bruening decree which cuts gov-
ernment salaries and appropria-
tions for the states, places unem-
ployment issuance on a self-sup-
porting basis and taxes cigars and
cigarets.
