Guggenheim fellowships for orig-
inal research and creative work
have been awarded Prof. Howard
Mumford Jones, of the English de-
partment, and Dr. Herbert Orion
Calvery, of the medical school, it
was announced Sunoay through
the Associated Press from New
York.
Fifty-seven artists and scholars
in the United States and Latin
America have been thus honored
by the John Simon Guggenheim
Memorial foundation, which grants
the fellowships. Mark Wessel of
Bronson, Mich., a composer, was
the third Michigan resident to be
given one of the awards.
Professor Jones' fellowship was
given to enable him to write a
biography of Thomas Moore with a
view to presenting him as a rep-
resentative of "Regency" taste in
literature, and showing the cur-
rent thought found in his work.
He will carry on his research
next year in England and Ireland.
Doctor Calvery, the other Uni-
versity recipient, is an assistant
professor of physiological chemis-
try. He will study in several Eur-
opean laboratories on embryonic
protein metabolism with special
reference to the chemistry of oval-
bumin and ovovitellin and the
time of the appearance of the pro-
teolytic enzymes in the developing
chick embryo.
The grants of the foundation are
made to young scholars and artists
who have done distinguished orig-
.ial work and are available to as-
sistant research in any field of cre-
ative work or knowledge in any of-
the fine arts. The normal stipend
is $2,500, for a period of 12 months.

Assistant Secretary of Navy Is
Stumping for Hoover's
Re-election.
Ernest Lee Jahncke, "sea-going"
assistant secretary of the navy and
one of President Hoover's chief
campaigners, will discuss and de-
fend the Republican administra-
tion in the fourth of the series of
public addresses sponsored by the
Union, to be held at 8 o'clock to-
night, in the main assembly room.
Jahncke has been touring the
country via air for the past two
months making speeches urging the
renomination of President Hoover.
He was obtained to lecture by the
Union through the courtesy of the
National Republican committee.
Prior to his appointment to the
position that he now holds, he
served on the reparation flood
commission and was an outstand-
ing figure during the serious floods
in the Mississippi valley in 1928.
The Union will hold a reception
for Mr. Jahncke at 6 o'clock to-
night at which Howard Lawrence.
head of the Republican committee
of Michigan, will officially welcome
him to Michigan. A dinner will be
held in his honor at 6:15 o'clock,
also at the Union. Tickets for the
dinner will cost one dollar.
Jahncke is the first Republican
campaigner to speak on a Union
public address program this year.

land, discussed the political ques-
tions before the Democrats at the

KIDAPPNGCLUESi
FAIL POICE AGAIN,
Schwarzkopf Withdraws Charges
Against Roma's Gang;
Rosner Silent.
HOPEWELL, N. J., March 14.-
()-New trails pointing toward the
kidnappers of Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, Jr., appeared and faded
like the falling snow which envel-
oped the Sourland countryside to-
day.
Police first told of their interest
in a group of hoodlums from 'Den-
ver, Col., who had come' east b
plane and were engaged in "mys-
terious activities in and around
New York."
Then, in response to questions,
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state
police superintendent, late in the
day, said:
"Information on Roma and asso-
ciates whose supposed headquar-
ters were on President St., Brook-
lyn, was carefully investigated. The
home of Roma in Brooklyn and
those of his associates were thor-
oughly searched for any evidence
that would connect them with this
crime. Having no further informa-
tion that would in any way connect
them with this crime we have ex-
onerated them from any connec-
tions."
He did not further identify the
"Roma" of whom he spoke, but in
Denver a Joseph T. Roma, reputed
gang czar, who traveled to New Jer-
sey by plane recently, termed any
mention of his name in the case
"too silly to discuss."
Police Chief Reports
37 February Arrests;
Amendment Passed
A total of 37 arrests, resulting in
fines of $159.40, were made by the
Ann Arbor police during the month
of February, according to the re
port submitted by Chief Thomas
O'Brien to the Common council at
its meeting last night. Of these, 18
were for violations of city ordin-
ances, five for drunkenness and
violations of the prohibition law,
two for assault and battery, and
the remainder for miscellaneous
offenses.
The amendment to City Ordin-
ance 123 which will provide for
payments on the proposed sewage
disposal plant and additional sew-
ers to be collected from property
holders in proportion to the use
they make of the new plant was
passed by the council and ordered
to appear on the ballot of the April
election.
Because of the fact that the wel-
fare committee is seriously pressed
for funds, a transfer of $50,000 from
the water department to that de-
partment was ordered to relieve the
situation until employment condi-
tions improve in the Spring.

Woman Trio May Be Feature;,
Two Thirds of Tickets
Already Sold.E
Henry Busse, popular band lead-
er who will play at the Frosh Frolic
next Friday night at the Union, has
consented to bring a 17-piece or-
chestra to Ann Arbor instead of 12
pieces, as previously agreed upon,
it was announced last night. He
may also bring his famous women's
trio to furnish vocal selection for
the more popular numbers.
Busse is at the present time play-
ing at the Netherlands Plaza, in
Cincinnati. His broadcasting over
WLW, every night at 12 o'clock, has
become very well known among ra-
dio listeners.
The Frosh Frolic committee has
already sold more than two-thirds
of their tickets, and, with the un-
precedented successes of both the
J-Hop and the Soph Prom as an
indication that interest in class
parties has revived, are confident
of an early sell-out.
Tickets this year have been re-
duced from the customary price of
five dollars to four dollars, a new
low in the history of the affair.
They may be obtained at the main
desk on the Union, at Balfour's,
and from committeemen.
Alpha Nu Will Hold
Forum on Rushing
Students and faculty of the Uni-

with members of the organization
at 7:30 o'clock tonight at their
rooms on the fourth floor of Angell
hall for an open discussion on de-
ferred rushing.
Carl Forsythe, city editor of The
Daily, will direct the discussion,
and will answer questions relative
to the subject.

Washtenaw Will Vote Divided;
State Street to Unite
Its Support.
TO USE VOTE MACHINE
Election to Be Held Tomorrow;
Identification Cards
to Be Required.
By Barton Kane.
Rival political factions of the
campus, facing the most crucial
period in their history, met last
night in the two largest caucuses
of the year and after heated de-
bates began their campaign for
the . all-campus election of mem-
bers of the sophomore class to the
Student Council which will be held
tomorrow. Four men, three from
the literary college and one from
the engineering school will be
chosen.
Washtenaw Confident.
Members of the Washtenaw par-
ty, meeting at the Phi Kappa Sig-'
ma house, decided that as a party
they would not go on record as
backing any three of their four
nominated men. They stated that
they felt the party to be strong
enough to allow individual frater-
nities in their faction to pick the
men to suit themselves.
At the State Street caucus, held
in the Alpha Delta Phi house, three
men were picked from the six nom-
inated so that the party as a whole
would be united. The men that the
party will back are Gilbert E. Burs-
ley, George J. Lambrecht, and W.
F. Bohnsack.
Back Four Men.
The four men that the Washte-
naw politicians will back are Rich-
ard Briggs, Frederic Schafer, Robert
Howard, and Hugh Stevenson. Of
these, Stevenson was the only man
nominated by the Council itself.
The rest were placed on the ballot
by circulating petitions about the
campus getting signatures of stu-
dents endorsing them.
Bursley, the only man on the
State Street ticket who was not
nominated by the Council itself, re-
ceived the unanimous support of
all houses attending his caucus.
The election will be held from 9j
to 12 o'clock and from 1 to 5 o'clock
tomorrow. For the first time, a vot-!
ing machine will be used and will
be set up in Angell hall for the con-
venience of the literary students.
Ballot boxes will also be placed in
the West Engineering building and
in the Union lobby. Identification
cards will be required to be shown
before any student may vote.
CASA LOMA SIGNED
FOR SCHOOL DANCE

staff of assistants, the Daily Car-
dinal, student newspaper at the
University of Wisconsin, is running
a ballot to determine student pref-
erences for the tutorial or lecture
system.
If the instructors are dropped, it
will mean wholesale return to the
lecture system. The ballot asks
whether the student favors the lec-
ture or the tutorial system, and also
asks how the voter would cut the
budget, as demanded by Gov. Phil-
lip Lafollette.
SALES TAX BALLOT
House and Administration Rally
Support For and Against
Factory Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 14.--(Y)-
It looks now as though several days
will elapse before adoption or de-
feat for the general sales tax in the
revenue bill can be predicted defi-
nitely.
The leaders of the house Demo-
cratic majority and of the admin-
istration Republicans believe they
are making headway in convinc-
ing the membership that this tax
at the factory on virtually all fin-
ished products is the fairest means
of raising the needed government
income.
But Representative LaGuardia of
New York, the Republican indepen-
dent who has taken the leadership
against the tax, predicts it will be
defeated and that his substitute
plan, or an alternative, providingj
heavy imports on specified indus-
tries and an increase in postage
rates, would be put in the bill in-
stead.

(By the Associated Press)
Part of Japan's expeditionary
force to China-numbering about
12,000 men-has been ordered to
leave Shanghai for home "in view
of the steady improvement of the
situation," the Japanese war office
announced yesterday.
After obtaining the approval of
Emperor Hirohito, it was decided
to withdraw the 11th division of
Lieut. Gen. Kenkiohi Uyeda's forces,
one brigade of the 12th division and
some auxiliary units. Contrary to
previous reports, the 9th and 14th
divisions will remain in China. The
9th and 14th divisions have mobil-
ized part of their reserves and to-
gether have an estimated strength
of about 30,000 men.

The Casa Loma fourteen piece
Brunswick recording orchestra has

which will be held Friday evening,
April 1, in the ballroom of the
Union, it was announced yesterday
by Jack L. Spencer, '32E, general
chairman of the dance.
The Casa Loma band will come
here from New York city where it
has been playing during the wintera
season.
Tickets for the dance will go on
sale today in the engineering and
architecture schools and sales will
be restricted to students of those
schools until Saturday, March 19.

Mr. Eastman was a bachelor in
his 78th year. He had few, if any,
relatives.
With the report of his death, the
stock of the Eastman Kodak Co.,
was depressed $8 on the New York
exchange. It recovered partially,
but the news was a severe shock to
the market coming as it did on the
heels of the suicide of Ivar Kreu-
ger, match king.
Motive is Uncertain.
There was nothing in Mr. East-
man's long and effective career to
indicate a motive for suicide. Dr.
Stewart said only that he "appar-
antly was in such a mental state."
He had been ill for several years,
but had recovered to a degree that
encouraged his friends, the physi-
cian added.
Several friends, most of them
connected with the Eastman Co.,
held a sickroom conference with
him earlier in the day. He seemed
cheerful, they said, and the busi-
ness of the company was not dis-
cussed. They signed a codicil to his
will as witnesses, but failed to
suspect his plan.
Before sending the attendants
from his room, he dictated a letter
to a private secretary. Its contents
were not divulged. The suicide note
he wrote in his own hand.
WILIKINS WILL TELL
OF ARCTIC THRILL11S
Moving Picture to Supplement
Talk; Wickersham to
Appear Next.
A vivid account of the Arctic
polar trip made by Sir Hubert Wil-
kins in his submarine Nautilus will
be given by the famous explorer
tomorrow night in Hill auditorium.
He is appearing on the lecture ser-
.es of the Oratorical association, al-
though not originally listed at the
first of the season.
Sir Hubert's notes on his trip un-
der the ice will be supplemented by
moving pictures. They are some of
the finest ever to have been made.
Sir Hubert is well acquainted
with the north polar regions, hav-
ing spent more than three years
with Vilhjalmur Stefansson on his
greatest expedition from 1913 to
1918, and having spent three other
years in Arctic exploration work,
culminating in the historic flight
from Point Barrow, Alaska, to
Spitziergen in April, 1928, the flight
that Amundsen declared to be "the
greatest airplane flight of history."
In 1929 he accompanied the Graf
Zeppelin in its historic flight

Sharfman Recommends Further Government Control

Further permanent government

Sharfman of the economics de-

nomics club at 7:30 o'clock in the
Union.
Pointing out that the present
business condition was the result

most of all as a result of the finan-
cial depression that has continued
for the past two and a half years.
The current severe business break-
down has made us sensible of the
inadequacies of the present eco-
nomic system.
"The word 'planning' is now fre-
quently used to refer merely to
temporary relief measures. I submit
that that is not economic planning
at all. There is now a revenue

anti-trust laws would tend to com-

feel that this measure, however,
would be a step in the wrong di-
rection, for there would be too
much freedom offered in pursuing
corporate gain. Such trusts might
be beneficial to the participants for
a time, but even then not perma-
nently. They would be contrary
to our present system of competi-
