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.

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- clude Governor - elect Wilber M. Brucker, Professor Emeritus Horace L. Wilgus of the Law school and Professor James. Wood Promises House Data on Relief Costs (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-A pro- mise that Congress would be in- formed specifically how the Presi- dent proposes to spend $100,000,000 or more on public buildings to re- lieve unemployment was given the House late today by Chairman Wood of the appropriations com- mittee.I Debating the treasury and post- office supply bills, Representative I ian,, n n 'T nrr rn rP -cma r ~, I ~ 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.

Doak Leads Score of Candidates to Commissions. THREATEN MEYER Thorough Examination of All Appointees Requested. (By Associated Press) 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 ON 'POLITICIANS' 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 Angell hall. I Entries for Tnwi,.rnv, i New York Unemployed Receive Gift of $1,000,000.

(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. apansn Premer ireda On by Newspaper Man 'Ensian Coupon Sale (By ssociatPre s) Will Continue Today MADRID, Dec. 3.-A newspaper reporter resigned his job today and All-campus sale of the coupons then armed with a pistol, went to for the 'Ensian will be continued the office of Premier Berenguer today and tomorrow, George E. and fired a shot over the premier's Hofmeister, '31, business manager head.
