Senate Banking Committee Sets
Stage for Final Testimony
in Investigation.
TWENTY ARE SUMMONED
House Body Goes Forward With
Huge Omnibus Bill to Curb
Government Costs.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-(/P)--
The stage was set today for the
denouement in the Senate banking
committee's investigation of bear
raiding on Wall Street with the su-
den summoning under subpoena of
a score of brokers.
Without warning, agents of the
committee moved on the New York
financial district and ordered heads
of some of the largest firms to tes-
tify tomorrow on the administra-
tion's charges that professional
bears have destroyed stock prices
for their own gain.
While this scene provided the
dramatic on capitol hill, the House
ecenomy committee drove onward
in an effort to complete by tomor-
row night a huge omnibus bill to
curtail sharply governmental out-
lays.
Plan to Save Millions.
Provisions affecting World War
veterans that had been estimated
to save $28,000,000 were eliminated.
Other of President Hoover's pro-
posals to slash the cost of the vet-
erans' administration $30,000,000
were approved. The group also
agreed to vote finally tomorrow on
whether the chief executive shall
have authority to reorganize cer-
tain governmental activities along
lines devised upon by Congress.
Veterans legislation also continu-
ed to occupy the House ways and
means committee, which is consid-
ering proposals to expand the cur-
rency and cash adjustment service
certificates. As opponents pushed
their testimony against the pay-
ment, House leaders who have al-
igned themselves with the oppo-
sition were looking favorably to-
ward a cut in loan charges to the
veterans.
This plan, which Rep. Patman
(D., Tex.) said would be unaccept-
able as a compromise, contemplates
restoration in part if not in whole
of the maturity values of the bonus
certificates that have been whit-
tled away by unpaid interest on
loans.

Professor's Daughter
and Freshman Elope
Using the bride's father's carj
to elope, Mary Louise Worey, '34
daughter of Professor and Mrs.
John Worley, and James S. Sym-
ons, Jr., '35, of Saginaw were
married yesterday afternoon at
Angola, Indiana.
The bride's parents and Jean-
ette Detwiler, a sorority sister of
Mrs. Symons, received telegrams
last night telling them of the
wedding and stating that the
couple would return some time
next week. Professor Worley said
that they would probably go to
Chicago before returning to the
school.
According to Professor and Mrs.
Worley, who had no knowledge
of the couple's plans, they bor-
rowed the Worley car shortly
after 1 o'clock yesterday after-
noon and left for Indiana. After
the marriage ceremony they noti-
fled their parents and friends
and lft Angola.
The news of the wedding came
as a complete surprise to friends
and relatives. The elopement
brought the number of marriages
announced by University students
for the past week to three, the
two other couples being Mr. and
Mrs. James W. Bishop and Mr.
and Mrs. Wilbur Blair.'

Local Youths Run Into Car;
Abbot Boy Receives
Broken Back.
Floyd Abbott, son of Horatio J.
Abbott of 2010 Devonshire Road,
and Floyd Bressler, 20, of 324 S.
Fourth Ave., were injured last night
when the motorcycle on which they
were riding collided with a car
driven by Prof. Edwin C. Goddard,
member of the law faculty of the
University.
Abbott, who was driving the mo-
torcycle, Teceived a broken back
and leg injuries; Bressler, sustain-
ed minor injuries and cuts on the
legs but received no broken bones.
The accident occurred at the cor-
ners of Forest and Hill Streets at
about 7 o'clock in the evening. The
Goddard sedan was tuning the
corner to go north on Forest when
the motorcycle, coming west on Hill
Street, ran into the rearofsthe car.
Both of the young men were im-
mediately rushed to St. Joseph's
I Mercy hospital, where Abbott was
taken directly to an operating room.'
Reports issued late last night stat-
ed that Bressler's injuries were not
of a serious nature and that Abbott
would probably recover.
Group Tries to Make
Examinations Easier
A cribbing service for Michi-
gan undergraduates may be in-
auigurated on the campus in the
near future.
The Princeton Alumni Weekly
yesterday said that an organiza-
tion had been formed which
would "raise college cribbing to
the position of a major indus-
try," according to the Associated
Press, by supplying undergrad-
uates with a four-year set of
essays for $100 cash.
A representative of the com-
pany has visited the Princeton
campus as well as Yale and
Harvard in an effort to obtain
testimonials for the service.E
These will be used to drum up
business in mid-western univer-
sities.
RICHEST FOLK BAC
IN NEGRO PLA Y
A definite movement toward the
folk drama is evidenced in the play
writing of today in the opinion of
Prof. Kenneth T. Rowe, of the Eng-
lish department who commented
yesterday on the three negro plays
written by Miss Doris Price, Grad.,
which will be given tomorrow night
in the laboratory theatre. Profes-
sor Rowe stated that these plays
were drawn from perhaps the rich-
est folk background in the country,
the lives of the negroes in the
south.
Such plays as "Porgy," ''Green
Grow the Lilacs," and "Green Pas-
tures" illustrate this tendency in
the current drama, he brought out.

Former Editor Refuses
to Comment; Friends
Deny Agreement,
NEW YORK, April 20.-/P2)-
Reed Harris, expelled editor of
the Columbia University student
daily, was reinstated to his classes
today, and then immediately re-
signed.
The action was announced by
Associate Dean Nicholas Mc-
Knight and followed a statement
by Harris' attorney, Rayrmond L.
Wise, that he was ready to serve
papers in a $100,000 breach of
contract suit against the univer-
sity.
The youthful editor, who wrote
caustic criticisms of intercollegi-
ate football and charged the uni-
versity dining hall was run for
personal profit, was expelled April
1. Protesting students later de-
clared a strike, stayed #away from
classes for a day and congregated
in mass meetings on the library
steps, where eggs and fists vied with
oratory of opposing factions.
Hawkes in Europe.
Dean Herbert E. Hawkes, who ex-
pelled Harris, now is in Europe. The
McKnight statement said:
"University authorities fully sus-
tained Dean Hawkes in his action"
and declared the Harris case "did
not come within the principles of
free speech and freedom of the
press."
The statement said Harris had
voluntarily submitted to D e a n
h Hawkes a satisfactory apology for
his letter of April 6, replying to the
dean's demand for explanation of
the dining hall charges.

had participated. Mrs. Massie had
been called as the final defense
witness in behalf of Massie and
three others accused of the killing.
Tears Up Paper.
The prosecutor asked her if she
always had been kind and consid-
erate, to which she replied yes. He
then asked if she had taken the
psychopathic examination at the
University of Hawaii last summer,
and again she replied affirmatively.
Then Kelley handed her the
paper. "Is that your writing?" he
asked.
She gazed at it for a moment
and then with eyes blazing said,
"This is a confidential paper be-
tween me and a physician. Where
did you get it?"
"I am asking, not answering the
questions," Kelley said.
Mrs. Massie tore the paper to
pieces.
"I refuse to answer," she said.
The destruction of the paper was
followed by the applause of spec-
tators.
In a voice shaking with anger,
Judge Davis lectured the audience
for demonstrating when Mrs. Mas-
sie was testifying. Then he ad-
iourned court until tomorrow morn-
Pianist Are Planned
for Grid Party.
Jack Rosevear, prominent dance
pianist and specialty players, will
feature the music of Ray Gorrell's
orchestra, of Detroit, which will
play for the Gridiron dance Friday
night, it was learned yesterday.
The Gorrell band, which is under
contract with Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalistic fraternity
which is sponsoring the dance, to
play from 9:30 until 2:00 o'clock,
is reputed to be among the best or-
ganizations of its type in the Mid-
dle West.
Members of the ticket committee
for the dance were elated last
night over the rapidity with which
tickets for the affair have been
sold. In spite of the fact that the
sale was restricted to an invitation
list of campus leaders until the ma-
jority of those on the list had re-
sponded, it was said yesterday that
the only tickets still remaining for
sale were a few which members of
the committee had not yet checked
in to George A. Stauter, chairman
of the committee.
Preparations to decorate the edi-
torial rooms of the new Publica-
tions building, where the dance is
to be held, were going forward yes-
