WASHINGTON, March 30.-(IP)- Docilely following party leaders, the House drove hard today to complete the billion dollar revenue bill by Friday and voted new taxes to pro- duce $293,500,000. Working in the unison inspired by Speaker Garner yesterday in his appeal for a bill to balance the budget, the membersturned to and brought the total thus far approv- ed to $743,500,000. The strong resistance to the ways and means committee proposal to increase first-class postage from two to three cents, to yield an ad- ditional $135,000,000 melted before the demands of former leaders of the opposition for revenue to meet the prospective $1,241,000,000 treas- uiy deficit for 1933. Is Biggest Item. Ths is the biggest item among the substitutes for the defeated $600,000,000 sales tax provision. It was approved, 147 to 63. The sec- ond largest proposition, to levy a tax of one-fourth of one per cent on the value of stock transactions for a yield of $75,000,000, will be the first to receive action tomorrow. The House today inserted the fol- lowing items in the bill: Surtax exemptions from $10,000 to $6,000-yield $1,000,000; reduced corporation exemptions from $2,000 to $1,000-yield $6,000,000; assessed cent tax on affiliated and consoli- dated returns-yield $18,000,000. Tomorrow the House will be ask- ed to approve an 8 per cent levy on the charges of oil pipe lines, to yield $15,000,000, a 5 per cent manufac- turers' tax on airplanes to provide $2,000,000, and a gift tax with a maximum of 33% per cent on those over $10,000,000 to bring in $20,- 000,000.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 30.- (A)-Clarence (Buster) Crabbe, of Los Angeles Athletic club, sped 65 and one-half times across the Yale pool today to set a new American record for the 1,500-meter swim and win the first event of the na- tional A.A.U. swimming champion- ships. Reaching his goal 15 yards ahead of James Cristy, of the University of Michigan, who took second place, Crabberfinished in 19:45.6. He broke by more than 20 seconds his own American mark of 20:06.5 set in Honolulu July 17, 1930. Betters Old Record. Cristy's time of 19:54.4 also was better than the old record. Maiola Kalili, of the Los Angeles A.C., woh won the first heat in 20:17.8 was given third place and Ray Ruddy, of the New York A.C., fourth. Rud- dy finished behind Kalili in 20:23.6. Crabbe's victory accentuated his position as an outstanding Amer- ican hope in the Olympic meet this summer. The 1,500-meter swim was added to the A.A.U. program be- cause this is an Olympic year, and the Olympic swiming committee, here to act as officials, saw the race. Cristy Leads at Start. Cristy led in the earlier part of the second heat, closely pressed by Crabbe of Los Angeles A.C. When four-fifths of the distance had been covered, however, Crabbe,' with a tremendous burst of speed, went ahead. . The Michigan swimmer, however, pushed him for the remainder of the race. Crabbe's time fell 45 sec- ondsdshort of Arne Borg's world record. The championships proper will start tomorow afternoon, with 93 swimmers and divers, including most of the A.A.U. champions en- tered. Mo SPE AK TO P HYS I CALEED0S, Tells of the Recent Growth of Physical Education in Russia. "During the past 15 years, the growth of physical education in Russia' has been amazing," said Prof. Howard Y. McClusky, of the school of education in an address before the members of the Physical Education club, last night. Professor McClusky went on to show t h e marked development which has been made recently and the decided earnestness with which the Russian people have attacked the subjects of personal hygiene and physical development. He con- trasted the present conditions in that nation now with those which prevailed under the regime of the czars. "It is extremely interesting to note," McClusky continued, "the great progress that has been made by the Soviet government in the establishment of public parks and playgrounds essential t o t h e health-building of modern youth." Professor McClusky spent t h e past summer in Russia, studying these conditions about which he spoke last night. He returned to the University this fall to continue his work in the education depart- ment. Laws Causes Difficulty, Lecturer Says. TELLS OF COMMISSION States American Law Institute Is Working to Clear , Problem. Complexity in federal and state law is the basic cause behind all difficulty in law enforcement, ac- cording to Hon. George W. Wicker- sham, chairman of President Hoov- er's Law Enforcement commission, who last night delivered the final lecture in the 1931-32 Oratorical Association series, at Hill auditor- ium. Wickersham pointed out definite steps which have already been tak- en toward the clarifying of this sit- uation, notably by the American Law institute, organized in 1923, of which Dean Henry M. Bates of the law School was a member. The greater part of the lecture was devoted to a popular expose of some of the facts unearthed by the commission of which he was chair- man, and which functioned from 1929 to 1931. "In 1931," he said, "the commis- sion brought forth a report which elicited a flood of contumely and vilification difficult to equal. We Hon. George W. Wickersham will give a free lecture on the subject, "Shall We Join the League of Nations?" at 4 oclock today in room 231 Angell hall, under the auspices of the Tol- stoy league. Prof: Sunderland will perside. The public is in- vited. reached no definite conclusions in the report, but devoted ourselves to betting forth the facts unearthed in our research." The speaker touched upon the prohibition situation. Enforcement of the eighteenth amendment has improved since it has been placed in the hands of the civil service, he stated. But it will be impossible to enforce without complete co-opera- tion of the people.. The 'heart of crime," he said, is the delinquent child. He called re- formatories "breeding places of crime." Modern American racket- eering, in his opinion, is worse than any "blackhand" activity, and civ- ilization cannot continue on a high plane as long as the people continue to tolerate gangsters. America has a higher percentage of criminal convictions than Eng- land, he stated, but more criminals escape in the United States in the' interval between arrest and trial. "I sometimes wonder," he com- mented, "whether our people really care about law enforcement." Wickersham was introduced by Dean Bates. Discover Russian Plot to Kill Stalin, Gorky MOSCOW, March~30.-(/P)--Mos- cow newspapers gave prominent place today to a dispatch from Paris to the Tass News Agency, quoting the Communist newspaper L'Humanite as saying that farfiung activities by Rusian "White Guards" were under way throughout Europe, including plots against the life of Joseph Stalin and other Anti-Soviet conspiracies outside the Russian border. Complexity in Federal, State Wiseonsin Appoints Spears Head Coach MADISON, Wis., March 30.- ()-The University of Wiscon- sin's three-month quest for a head football coach ended to- day when Dr. Clarence Spears, coach at the University of Ore- gon, accepted a year's contract. Spears was obtained after several weeks of negotiaitons and after he had turned down the offer at least twice. The board of regents did not dis- place the salary consideration, but it was reliably reported to be $10,000. , The n e w coach succeeds Glenn Thistlewaite, who re-. signed last December. He will arrive here April 13 to start the spring football drills. The selection of Spears' was the climax of several months of turmoil in the university ath- letic department. After the 1931 football season ended, alumni renewed their demand for a new coach and as a re- sult both Thistlewaite a n d George Little, athletic director, resigned. Little is now director of physical education at Rut- gers University. WATCHFUL WITING IS LIBRHPLA.N Officers Believe Fear, Prevents Return of Kidnapped Infant. NORFOLK(, Va.,. March 30.-(P)- "Watchful waiting" was the term used this afternoon by Rear Ad- miral Guy H. Burrage, retired, to describe present activities of three Norfolk men seeking to bring about return of the kidnapped Lindbergh baby. Assuming the role of spokesman for the Very Rev. Dean H. Dobson- Peacock, John Hughes Curtis, boat builder and himself,- the naval of- ficer made negative answers to most of the questions asked him in a press conference. His most definite statement as to his opinion of the outcome of their efforts was that "if there is failure in the Norfolk negotiations, the kidnappers and they alone will know why." Asked for a possible reason for delay in their negotiations he re- plied: "You might say the kidnap- pers are afraid to go to Col. Lind- bergh with the child. That's a reasonable answer." TWO ROBBERIES REPORTED HERE Chi Phi and Chi Psi Fraternities Entered by Thieves. Two more fraterraity house rob- beries were added to the already long list of them when thieves en- tered the Chi Phi house at 153G kWashtenaw and the Chi Psi lodge at 620 S. State yesterday morning between the hours of 3 a.m., and 6 a.m. Approximately $20 was ta.ken from the Washtenaw house and a set of golf clubs, a cigarette lighter. and $8 constituted the losses of the State street fraternity. Ann Arbor police, who were called in by the loser of the golf clubs. commented that there had been quite a few robberies this year but that they had been scarcer during the last two weeks. The cash was 'gone' they said but there is some hope that the golf clubs which are easily identifiable may be traced. STATE NOMINEEIE I US4 IN COUNCIL POLL, Bohnsack, Lambrecht Burgess, Dee Win Places. BOHNSACK LEADS Councilmen Certain Election Was Honest. The State Street political party swept through the all-campus elections of sophomore men to serve on the Student Council yes- terda and placed all four of its candidates in office by a wide margin to defeat both the Wash- tenaw and Independent parties. Wilbur Bohnsack, George Lam- brecht and John Deo were elected to serve as representatives from the literary college and Charles Burgess was picked from the engi- neerng school. - The four Washttnaw candidates were well ahead of the Independent men when the final returns were turned in. The Independent party, however, definitely organized for the first time in many years, re- ceived 121 votes. Bohnsack Receives MostVotes. Bohnsack, who received the high- est total, was backed by both par- ties. The number of ballots cast show- ed a marked decline as compared to that of the election of two weeks ago, which was later declared ille- gal. In the first election, more than 1,100 votes were recorded and in the election yesterday only 689 voted. It was pointed out, however, that nany of the ballots in the first elec- tion were fraudulent. As a careful check was kept.. on all the ballots distributed yesterday, Councilmen were certain that the election was an honesf'one. New Members Cannot Vote. The representatives will serve throughout the rest of the semester on the Council as members without voting power. They will serve dur- ing their junior and senior years with the full power to vote. The tabulated results of the elec- tion follow: Wilbur Bohnsack, 440; George Lambrecht, 312; John Deo, 287; Charles Burgess, 357; Richard 3riggs, 256; Hugh Grove, 240; Hugh, Stevenson, 176; Benjamin V a Zwaluwenburg, 121; Graham Cook- son, 106; Albert Quarton, 121; Rob- ert Carr, 66; and Edwin Dayton, 28.
