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.

I 'PLAINUM LONDE CHOSEN FOR 'SHOW, Michigan and Majestic Will Be Thrown Open to Students for Celebration. In completing plans for the free show !to be given at the Michigan amn d Majestic theatres tomorrow night in celebration of Michigan's tie for the Big Ten title, Jerry Hoag, manager of the Michigan, has se- lected "Platinum B 1o n d e," with Jean Harlow, Loretta Young, and Robert Williams, for the feature offering, it was announced last night. Admittance. to the performance will ,be by identification card only, rather than by -either identifica- tion card or pass book, as was or- iginally announced, Hoag said. Planning to open the doors of the theatres at 9:30 o'clock, the management will have 10 students selected by the Student Council at each theatre to keep the students in line. In addition there will be police officers to maintain order. Students have been requested to take special care that the exhibits of the Chamber of Commerce, lo- dated in the foyer, are not damaged when the doors are opened. For this reason students will be admit- ted only as rapidly as they can be seated. The Michigan theatre can ac- commodate about 2,000 patrons, while the Majestic is only slightly mbre than half as large, Hoag said. Doors will .be locked when , this number is reached. Students are asked not to line up before 9:00 o'clock.. STUDENTS "TO TRIBUTE TO 1 Captain, Manager-Elect Named at Traditiona Dinner.

GRAND RAPIDS-Notice of the appointment of Mrs. Dorian M. Russell, of Grand Rapids, as mem- ber of the state welfare commis- sion, was received here today. Shel By John W. Pritchard 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.
