1OPEWELL, N.J., May 18.--
(l)-Full glare of the Lindbergh
murder hunt put John Hughes
Curtis in a jail cell tonight and
reflected new light on activities
of Dean It. Dobson-Peacock, his
associate in the baby negotiations
which the boat builder confessed
he "faked."
Their garage and the estate of
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was
transformed into a court room
for the arrangement of the Curtis
trial-one of the closing chapters
of the cdranatic mystery by which
the famous flier and countless oth-
ers were given hope of finding his
son alive long after the infant had
ben slain.
Curtis Scores Allies.
flut before he waived a hearing
on a charge of giving false infor-
mation and started for jail in the
default of $10,000 bail, Curtis voiced
scathing criticism of his Norfolk,
Va., allies.
Curtis said that he carried on
"because I had been continuously
urged and encouraged by Dean H
Dobson-Peacock, who was enjoying
the publicity he was getting out
of the newspapers.-
Wanted Publicity..
"I know from my experience with
the Dean," concluded Curtis, "that
the only interest he had throughout
the entire matter was one of satis-
fying his desire for publicity and
the more that he got the btter he
liked it."
At another point Curtis said,
"Many of the stories manifactured
by Peacock were untrue and he had
a knowledge of their untruthful-
ness at the time he released them
for publication."
PROPOSAL REFUSED

ANARCHY: URGE
VATICAN CITY, May 18.-(P)-I
Pope Pius XI, in an encyclical issued
today, called the world to prayer,
penance and mortification to save
itself from "the perils of terror-
ism and anarchy" and "the still
graver evils that are threatening."
For this purpose he set aside a
period of eight days for "repara-
tion" on the octave of the feast of
the sacred heart, beginning June 3.
He adjured the faithful to ab-
stain during the eight days "at
least from entertainments a n d
amusements however lawful" and
urged that "those in easier circum-
stances" give to the poor "the pro:
coeds of this retrenchment."
. In the encyclical, entitled "Char-
itas Christi"-Christ's Charity-he
lists the causes of the present
"evils that are crushing human-
ity." ,
They are, he said, greed, the ac-

Dr. Stanley, Famous
Composer
and Conductor, Suffering
From Diabetes.
Dr. Albert A. Stanley, professor,
and musical director emeritus and
an important instrumentality in the
organization of the School of Music,.
last night was near death of sugar
diabetes.
Imminent death for him was seen
last night by his physician, Dr.
James F. Breakey. Dr. Stanley is
81 years old.
Conductor, composer, and au-
thority on musical instruments, Dr.
Stanley was for many years an im-
portant figure in various national
and international musical groups.
He represented America at several
I international congresses.
Coming to the University as pro-
fessor of music in 1888, Dr. Stanley
soon assumed the position of mus-
ical director. He immediately began
to weld together many musical-ac-
tivities of the community and Uni-
versity, so that the musical society,
existant since 1779, took on a pro-'
gressive policy.
He figured largely in the organ-
ization of the School of Music in
the early '90's, and developed the
first May Festival in 1894. He con-
tinued in the capacity of musical
director until 1921, when he resign-
ed.
Born in 1851 in Providence, Rhode
Island, of old New England stock,
Dr. Stanley spent four years of his
youth, from.1871-75, studying music
in Europe. In the interval between
his European sojourn and his com-
ing to the University, he held var-
ious professional positions in this
country.

Communism Is Evil.
"This is the most dreadful evil
of our times, for they destroy ev-
ery bond of law, human or divine;
they engage openly and in secret
in a relentless struggle against
God himself. They carry out the
diabolical program of wresting
from the hearts of all, even from
children, all religious sentiment,
for well they know that when once
belief in God has been taken from
the heart of mankind they will be
entirely free to work out their will.

never before seen in history -the

God and against religion brazenly
unfurled to the winds in the midst

Ryan reversed the result of last

Telting, who showed to excellent
advantage.
Johnny Roindel came back nice-

In the doubles, Dodge and Telting

two set points in the first set, but
lacked the punch to put over a win.
The strong overhead game of the
winners was outstanding.
Reindel and Snell showed none of
the style that characterized their
singles play, when they lost to the

In addition to Miss Ljungbergh's

be included on tonight's program:
Glazounow's overture, "Carnaval";
Stravinsky's "Symphonic Psalms,"

"Fugue a la Gigue"; a ballet from
Holst's opera "The Perfect Fool,"
some of the Hungarian dances from

Tonight's performance will be
the American premiere for the last
of these, "A Choral Fantasia."
Gustav Holst, the author, will con-
duct the Chicago Symphony or-
chestra during the performance.
Mr. Holst is one of the most dis-I
tinguished of the contemporary
conductor-composers, according to
Dr. Sink. He came to Ann Arbor as
a guest conductor in 1923. Because
of the great demand for his serv-
ices in Germany, he has not been
able to come to this country again
until this year. In addition to his
own "Choral Fantasia," Mr. Holst
will conduct the "Fugue a la
Gigue," and the ballet from "The
Perfect Fool.".

Gustafson was cut about three
inches above the ankle of his right

mores had tied to their end of the
rope to aid them in the tug. He
had gone with several other fresh-
men to untie the plow. In the
ensuing fight he tripped over the
sharp blade of the instrument.
Gustafson was confined in the
Health Service until May 15 when
he was transfered to the hospital
as infection had sot in. His condi-
iion has become worse since that
time and at pre5cnOt his tempera-

Plans to Be Submitted
to Judiciary
Committee.
APPROVED BEFORE
To Become Operative
in Fall If Passed
by Group,
The proposed rushing plan for
next fall, which defers rushing
during Orientation week and
pledging during the first two
weeks of school, was unanimously
passed by the Interfraternity
Council last night for the second
time. It will now go before the
Judiciary committee for approval.
The platna, drawn up by a com-
mittee appointed by Howard T.
Worden, '32, retired president of
the Council, was passed at the last
meeting, held May 11, for the first
time. If approved by the Judiciary
committee, it will go to the Senate
committee on Student -affairs.
Every effort will be made to get
the plan through these groups be-
fore the summer recess, so that it
will become effective in the fall.
To Select Candidates.
A motion was passed to permit
Edwin J. Turner, '33, president of
the Council, to select five candi-
dates from the faculty and five
from the alumni whose names will
be submitted to Dean Bursley and
President Ruthven respectively to
act on the Judiciary committee.
President Ruthven will select one
-andidate from the alumni group
to act on this, committee and Dean
Joseph Iursley will select two from
he faculty group.
Tlie faculty members which will
be recommended by Turner are
.'ranklin Everett of the engineering
school, Dean Samuel T. Dan1 of
he Forestry school, Prof. C. F.
Kessler of the engineering school,
Philip Jay of the Dental school,
and Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, head
>f the Health Service.
Alumni men who will be recom-
mended are Herman C. Cleene,
Mllan Connable, William Brown,
Efackley Butler, and H. S. Slifer.
Pass New Proposal.
A proposal recommending that
ill solicitors and salesmen visiting
traternity houses carry courtesy
:ards given out by the Council
ifter a thorough investigation by
ts officers, was passed. This plan,
t is believed, will do away with
nen falsely representing companies
aid the cheating of fraternity men.
The plan will only be effective,
:aid Turner, if the fraternities co-
,perate and insist on all salesmen
presenting their cards.
A new system for tryouts will go
nto effect next year which will be
based on the merit system, resem-
gling that of the Union plan. De-
tails of the plan are not worked
eut as yt.
NEW RUSHING SYSTEM
PLANNED AT CORNELL
(Special to The Daily)
ITHACA, N.Y., May 18. - A de-
erred rushing plan similar to the
>ne now being considered by the
iterfraternity council of the Uni-
'ersity of Michigan is up before the
ouncil of Cornell university and is
>elieved to have a good chance of
adoption.
The plan (liffers from the one
)roposed for Michigan students in
hat the actual rushing is deferred
lime more week. Under the plan no
ushing will be allowed until the
.hird week of school. The main
lifference is that there is no defi-
Ate time when the men must be
pledged, but may accept a button
any time after 'rushing has offi-
ially begun.
The other features of the plan
a~re that there is to be no rushing
ifter 8:30 o'clock at night and the
xPenditurs it volved are to be as
mall Mas'pos;sit li.
A counter proposal is also being
-ponsored which is identical with
she first exce-pt that rushing begins
.he first day of school, but it, too,
has specific rules governing the
method in which freshmen may be
:ushed and the time that may be
spent in doing so.

Ignorance of Religion
Ignorance of the meaning of re-
ligion is the cause of as much of
the non-attendance a t church
functions in Ann Arbor as else-
where, according to Rev. Allen J.
Babcock, pastor of St. Mary's Cath-
olic Student chapel.
"Most non-church goers have lost
interest in religion," Father Bab-
cock said in an interview yesterday,
"because they don't know what it's
all about. They have not had suffi-
from their childhood are never en-
tirely lost, he said.
"I am not qualified to speak for
other religions," Father Babcock as-
serted, "for my experience has been
limited. The Catholic church does
not, probably, face such an acute
problem of non-attendance because
of, the background of religious
training offered its members. St.
Thomas has a Sunday attendance
portant, according to Father Bab-
cock. An atheist must be positive
in his beliefs, he pointed out, as
positive in his belief that there is
no God as the religious man is in
his belief in God. Consequently, he
concluded, there are few atheists.
"The great problem," Father Bab-
cock alleged, "is that of indiffer-
ence. In our local fraternities, it
is often a fact that the Catholic
students, in many houses not more
