(By Associated Press)
Tragedy draped its somber black
yesterday over the motley of capri-
cious winter. ~
Dandelions still blomed in On-
tario and there was bowling on the
green in the north country; but
ten were dead' from a tornado that
threshed through two Tennessee
farming communities and heavy
snows and dropping temperatures
chilled sections of California.
The Tennessee tornado killed ten
members of a single family and in-
juredhthree others newt Trenton
and houses were upset and other
propt damaged.
Cold Severe in Nevada.
Wyoming, Montana and New
Mexico were coldand clear while
snow blocked highways in south-
ern Idaho, Nevada had tempera-
tures that dipped down to a minus
35. '.The Dakotas and Nebraska
but~tned tight their reefers as the
mercury hit zero.
Floods pounded against Missis-
sippi delta levees as many families
fled to higher ground. The explo-
pion of dynamite echoed along the
T 1l, a h a t c h ie as home-owners
sought to save their property at the
expense of others by dynamiting
the levees and loosing the flood
waters.
Canada was a contradiction of
,sesons, with sub-zero cold in the
w'stern provinces and temperatures
in the 60's in Qntario and even in
the Maritime provinces.
Near Otawa there were flood
waters, with an ice jam threatening
destruction of a dam and a bridge
across the Guyon river. Streets of
Guyon were flooded and nearby
farm lands inundated.
Richmond, Va., never-saw a Jan.
14 as hot as Thursday's 78, and
Norfolk's 77 was the highest since
1871.
Flowers Bloom in East.
New England's ice and snow
were melting under a sun that
brought reports of robins and fish-
ing. tackle and lawns yellowed by
dandelions.
At Owasco lake near Auburn,, N.
Y., the kids went swimming. Fish-
ermen were pulling fish from Lake
Chautauqua-nice. calico bass that

A regular nine-inning baseball
game was played at Uniontown, Pa.,

Today's weather predictions were
discouraging for the dandelions,

Observers in Washington are speculating upon President Hoover's probable choice to fill the vacancy
on the bench of the United States Supreme Court created by the resignation of Associate Justice Holmes.
The names of these three men have been mentioned prominently. Left to right they are: Senator Thomas J.
Walsh of Montana, Federal Judge Curtis Dwight Wilbur of the department of interior, and now upon the
circuit court bench in Cailfornia, and Newton D. Baker of Ohio, former secretary of war.

and should exert powerful pressure'
towards these four ends:
1-Stopping the downward trend
of prices,'
"2-Returning hoarded moneyl to
the banks,
"3-Restoring the normal value
of securities, and,
"4-Starting the beginning of
business recovery."
Economists and others in the ac-
tion taken, Dr. Persons explained,
freely offer their services "in a
non-partisan and disinterested
movement to defeat further econ-
omic suffering and destruction, but
other interests, particularly indus-
trialists and bankers, must be re-
lied upon to make any program
effective."
The program, he said, was not
drawn up to advance any private
interest of members of the group,
other than as private interests may
be served by general business re-
covery.
Dr. Persons, consulting econom -
ist and former professor of econom-
ics at Harvard, is chairman of the
group.
"The first problem," he explain-
ed, "was to ascertain if there was
a sound economic program which
could be expected to work, and the
second was so to develop it that a
representative group of leading
economists of the United States
could jointly endorse it. The third
pioblem was to obtain the support
of all interests in the country nec-
essary to make the program effec-
tive. The first two problems are
,England Would Increase Poverty'
as a Result, Sociologist
Says in Interview.'
Lowering the dole by England's
new government will probably re-
sult in more poverty and a lower
standard of living in the opinion
of Dr. A. E. Wood, of the sociology
department..
Referring to a survey taken of
the period betwen 1913 and 1926,
Dr. Wood point d out that living
conditions in England were perhaps
higher than those previous to the
war. The, amount of poverty was
higher previous to that period.
"The dole is not to be looked up-e
on as many in this country are
wont to do," Wood. said. "It has
done much to prevent revolution
in England. At present the reason
why their living conditions are not
lower than they are is because of
the efficient manner in which the
government looks after such mat-
ters as the dole, insurance, health
services, and such.

solved, and the third is in rapid
process of solution.
"United on a sound program, we
can and will defeat the forces of
deflation; divided, we shall, our-
selves, be deflated and impoverish-
ed and our gold standard imperil-
led. It is for us to decide whether
in 1932, enlightened co-operative
action is to replace unenlightened
individualistic action, whether
business expansion is to replace
business contraction and whether
the wages of employed labor are to
be resumed, or substituted for doles
to unemployed."
The economic group is as yet in-
complete, as Dr. Persons said he is
receiving further indorsements, but
now includes:

ber of the fiscal committee of the

Senior Class to Begin
Dues Collection Soon
Preliminary plans for the collec-
tion of senior class dues were an-
nounced last night by John Den-
ler, treasurer of the class. Two
dollars will be the amount collected
this year, he said.
Denler also stated that it was
felt by those in charge that this
amount, though not as large as in
former years, would nevertheless
be sufficient to finance senior class
activities. The actual collection of
dues willbe begun in the near fu-
ture, he added.

Contributes to Interests.
Since a university teaches almost
everything, it must be interested in
nearly everything, and the organ-
izations of which the University is
a member all contribute something
toward keeping up these interests.
Almost every department, jfrom
medicine to purchasing, has contact
with others in the same field.

That Indians did not rove

Eight Educational Trips Through

Students.
f Eight educational tours through
' Europe have been planned by the

service whose local office is located.
in the Alumni association office.
These tours may be taken by col-
lege students for credit or for pure-
ly cultural reasons. The credit. al-
lowed by the University for a given
tour must be arranged by the stu-
dent and the department to which
the subject studied on the tour be-
'longs.
Among the special tours which
have been arranged is one which
will investigate European industries
and visit the leading industrial
firms on the continent.
Another tour will inspect agri-
culture conditions of Europe, the
Royal Agricultural show at South-
ampton and the products of the
lowlands. A third trip will visit the
famous architectural landmarks of
Italy, France, and England. Another
trip will go to New Mexico to study
the archaeological investigations.
which are going on there.
Other trips will cover the fields
of education,. art, social welfare,
and psychology in Europe.

Chancery
That

LEGALITY Of MALT
TAX TOBE CIDED
I:N FEDERAL COURT

OHIO FIRM BRINGS SUIT
Report Concludes That Act, as
a Whole, Within Rights
of the State.
DETROIT, Jan. 15.-(/P)-The fed-,
eral court will pass upon the con-
stitutionality of Michigan's malt
tax law-with a recommendatio-
from William S. Sayers, standing
master in chancery, that it be up-
held.
Sayer held the law not in con-
travention of the constitution in a.
report submitted Thursday in a
suit brought by Standard Brands,
Inc., of Cincinnati, manufacturers
of bakers' malt, to restrain collec-
tion of the tax.
Plea Previously Denied.
Judge Arthur C. Denison of the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals at Cincinnati, and Judges
Charles C. Simons and Edward J.'
Moinet of the United States dis-
trict court here previously had de-
nied the plea.
In his report, Sayers held that,
since each state has the right to
prohibit the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors irrespective
of the Eighteenth amendment, it
also has the right to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of malt or
other articles used in the manufac-
ture of alcoholic beverages.
From that the report concludes
that what the state can prohibit it
can discourage by imposition of
taxes.
Some Points Conceded.
The report -concedes that some
sections of the act verge upon in-
fringement of the interstate com-
merce act, but holds that the act
as a whole and in its practical ap- p
plication is within the rights of the
state.
The principal basis for the plea
of Standard Brands, Inc., was that
the act deprived the company of
its property without due process of
law and that it is an interference
with. interstate commerce.
The master's report now goes to
the court for confirmation or -e-
versal,

Master Recommends
Law Be Upheld,
However.

LANSING, Jan. 15.-(A1)-A spe-
cial state committee studying the
Covert road tax problem has reach-
ed unanimous agreement that all
counties must be treated equally
if state aid is extended, Frank F.
Rogers, former state highway com-
missioner, said today. The commit-
tee also is in accord in the belief
that little real (relief can be ob-
tained without legislation. If leg-
islation is required promptly a spe-
cial session of the legislature would
be necessary.
A sub-committee, made up of B.
V. Nunnelly of Mt, Clemens, Wil-
liam Connelly of Spring Lake, Louis
Webber of Lansing and Leroy Smith
of Wayne county, Will meet here
Monday to draft recommendations.
These will be submitted in turn to
a committee of 10 headed by Rog-
ers.
Rogers indicated that boththe
sub-committee and the committee
of 10 have definitely decided that
the state cannot advocate relief
plans applying only to those coun-
ties in which the Covert burden is
oppressive.
