cent favored submission, 19.5 op-
posed, and 21.1 per cent were .non-
committal.
She made public the report just
before leaving for Detroit, where
tomorrow she will submit it to the
National executive committee of
the organization.
She said the canvass was "the
first time that Congress had been
polled on the question of submis-
sion."
She pointed outthat 280 members
of Congress were yet to be heard
from and asserted 66 of those "are
known to favor revision or submis-
sion."\
"We are especially proud of our
women representatives," she con-
tinued. "Four of the five women
in the House have replied to our
letter and every one of them is for
submission. Representative Ruth
Byran Owen is one of the avowed
prohibitionists who believe. in the
people's right to vote." I
The Women's Anti-Prohibition
Organization, she said, planned "to
follow up work, on the non-com-

THE WEATHER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-(AP)-To
the door of the National Govern-
ment, Gov. Pinchot, of Pennsyl-
vania, tonight brought a demand
for Federal relief for the unem-
ployed to be paid out of the pockets
of the wealthy.
The spare, gray-haired Pennsyl-
vanian, who has been mentioned as
a Presidential possibility, assailed
the relief program of the admini-
tration as inadequate, in an address
before the District of Columbia
League of Women Voters.
Government Policy Assailed.
During the day, leaders of several
liberal organizations met to dis-
cuss unemployment on the eve of
the Congressinal session. They
also criticized Government relief
efforts. Norman Thomas, 1928 So-
cialist Presidential candidate, said
"the so-called Progressives in Con-
gress have failed." ',
Analyzing economic conditions,
Pinchot s a i d "concentration of
wealth h a d reduced consuming
power" and had increased produc-
tion beyond the limits of demand.
The result, he added, was the re-
cent economic slump.
He took issue with the adminis-
tration's reported plan for sponsor-
ing a sales tax as a means of meet-
ing the Treasury deficit. The Penn-
sylvanian called for higher income
tax rates on larger icomes to solve
the deficit problem and that of un-
employmentt relief as well. The
scheme would affect him personal-
ly, he said, as his income tax re-1
turn falls in the higher brackets.
Local Aid A~nequat
"But I am- wging that the Gov-
ernment shall take more of my in-
come, rather than, ,that millions
should suffer from want and hun-
ger," he continued.
Federal relief was described as
"the only possible answer" to the
question by Pinchot, who added,
"Federal aid in this depression is
our clear duty and .our best hope of
prompt and permanent recovery."
"Those in hign places have con-
tinually insisted that a national
emergency be met with local aid
alone," he continued. "They have
left it all, with the exception of a
bit of benevolent advertising, to
the states and communities them-
selves.'
He said community fund chests
"would not be sufficient to meet the
needs of the winter," even though
full quotas were raised.
fIS H MAN 6BROTiR
INJUREDINk CRASH
Neither Is Severely Hurt; Both
Are Resting Quietly
in Hospital.
A telephone conversation with
the parents of Benjamii Fishman,
'33L, who, with his brother Eman-
uel, were seriously injured Saturday
evening in an automobile accident
on Plymouth road, revealed that
both young men are improving.
X-ray photographs indicated that
the young men had suffered a head
fracture, and both were resting
quietly in the Redford Receiving
hospital where they were taken
after the accident.
Benjamin, the elder brother, re-
ceived scalp wounds, cuts on the
nose and face, and a fractured
wrist, while Emanuel has a broken
leg and cuts on the face.
The accident occurred when the
Fishman automobile collided with
a truck driven by Ward E. Stroud
of Grass Lake, overturning both
cars.

Young Co-ed Recovers
Sophomore's Headgear
Monday was a windy day. In fact,
it was very windy. And because it
was windy, one sophomore was very
much embarrassed.
Generally, on windy days, it is
the ladies who are embarrassed.
But not so yestercay. This sopho-
more was very much of the oppo-
site sex.
Emerging from the main library,
a strong gust of wind swept over
the campus from the vicinity of
State street and lifted his hat from
his head. With a graceful gesture, it
flew in the direction pf the phar-
macology building.
A sprightly young co-ed, sensing
the young man's dilemma, started
in pursuit. Reti'ieving the errant
piece of headgear, the girl retu'rned
it to its owner.
The youth, face flushed, muttered
a feeble "thank you," pulled the
"lid' down tight over his ears and
started off.
IRISH TROUPE WILLt
The White-Headed Boy' Will Be

last week on the work of the' Irish
players, will be here during the

Founded 20 years ago by William
Butler Yeats, the abbey theatre has
grown to be the cultural cetre for
the Irish people. Here many of the
well-known plays of the Irish dra-
matists have had their first offer-
ing, including some of Yeats and,
Bernard Shaw. The company has'
been called "the cultural and liter4-
ary ambassadors of Ireland."
All the well known actors of the
original Abbey group are included
in the plays to be presented liere, it
was announced. To make the trip
possible the Abbey theatre in Dub-
lin has been closed for the current
season.

commodate about 2,000 patrons,
while the Majestic is only slightly
mbre than half as large, Hoag said.

When Henry Ford said that the
end of the depression had come
and things were on the.upgrade, he
was "probably whistling to keep up
our spirits," in the opinion of Pref.
Morris A. Copeland, of the econom-
ics department.
"There is no indication, so far as
I can see, that there has been any
considerable recent economic im-
provement," said Professor Cope-
land. Referring to a report from
the division of research of the Fed-
eral Reserve Board, he pointed out
that building contracts, general in-
dustrial production, factory em-
ployment, and a number of other
economic items were all lower in
October than in September, after
correction for seasonal variation.
"The most optimistic fiction of
the situation," he said, "is that de-
e _w _sn+-t . _,._ ... _ _
level of wholesale commodity prices
will show an improvement over Oc-
tober, in spite of the recent activity
in grains." ,
The present depression, stated
Professor Copeland, is largely the
result of a world-wide economic
shake-up, new industrial revolution,
involving important technological
changes and shifts in areas of pro-
duction. Many industries have been
hit by competition with new com-
modities or increased supplies of
substitutes. -
"In 1921," he noted, "the United
States came to the end of the de-
pression fairly promptly -because,
as a result of the concentration of
industry on war activities, the coun-
try was underbuilt. Overbuilding
was priobably a factor in bringing
on the present crisis."
An element which complicates
the present situation, said Professor'

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-()-
Vice-President Curtis announced
today he would not run for the
senate next year, and would accept
renomination as vice-president if
tendered the-office.
His statement follows:
"There has been presented for
my decision the question whether
I shall be a candidate for United
States senator from Kansas in 1932,
and, if not, whether I shall accept
another nomination for vice-presi-
dent in the event of its being tend-
ered to me. .
"Many reasons have been assign-
ed by my friends, to support either
course I pursue.
Doesn't Mention Hoover.
"After careful consideration I
have decided not to be a candidate
for the United States senate from
Kansas in 1932; and further, that
if the next Republican national
his statement puts him far in front
in the deliberations of the Repub-
licans over the vice presidency.
Mr. Curtis reached his decision
after months of consideration. Re-
cent talks with adimnistration lead-
ers are bejieved at the capitol to
have determined him finally.
Hoover Comment Unlikely.
While no statement is expected
from Mr. Hoover, there is little ap-
parent doubt in Washington that
Curtis will be renominated should
Mr. Hoover get the nomination
again. '.
Mr. Curtis made public his an-
nouncement this morning shortly
after his return from Chicago.,
When newspaper men asked Mr.
Curtis if he had anything to add
to his brief announcement, he smil-
ingly recalled President Coolidge's
"I do not choose to run" statement
in 1927.
