LANSING, March 18. -(P) - At-
tacking the method of choosing dele-
gates, Michigan Prohibition forces
moved today to halt the election
April 3 of delegates to a state con-
vention to act on the proposed re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Attorneys for Luren D. Dickinson,,
president of the Michigan Allied
Forces for Prohibition and former
lieutenant-governor, filed a petition
with the State Supreme Court ask-
ing a writ of mandamus to restrain
Secretary of State Frank D. Fitz-
gerald from ordering the election
of delegates. The petition challeng-
ed the constitutionality of the Heid-
kamp bill, the legislative act provid-
ing the machinery for the conven-
tion, which has been called for April
10.
It was announced that the court
would consider the petition Monday.
The petition holds the Senate act
providing for the election and the
convention unconstitutional 'because
the electors of the state are. deprived
of their elective franchise in the,
nomination and election of delegatesa
to the convention under the proced-
ure authorized in the act; because
the electors are deprived of equality
in the selection of delegates; because;
in some sections of the state the
voters vote for but one deleghte,
while in others they vote for two or
more.
Beer Law By !

Coinittee Of Both Houses
To Settle Difference;
Hope For Speedy Action
WASHINGTON, March 18.-(/P)-~
Congressional leaders claimed with
confidence tonight that the bill to'
legalize beer will be agreed to Mon-
day, in time for President Roosevelt
to sign it by nightfall.
Success in that plan will depend
on extraordinarily fast action Mon-
day morning, since Senate and House
must compromise wide differences
and have yet to make a start, offi-
cially, on that agreement. But the
assurance with w h i c h Speaker
Rainey and Senator Harrison of Mis-
sissippi, in charge of the measure on
his side of the Capitol, predicted
quick approval, led many to believe
that a solution had already been
made.
If signed Monday night, the meas-
tre will permit the sale of real legal
beer by Tuesday, April 4. But the
organized drys, fighting every step

of the way against relaxation of pro-
bition, announced plans today to
try by court injuniction to block sale,
in an fciort to have the law declared
unconstitutional.I

Prof. Henry A. Sanders, head of
the department of speech and gen-
eral linguistics, was elected president
of the Michigan Academy of Science,
Arts, and Letters for the coming
year at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon. He succeeds Prof. George
R. LaRue of the zoology department.
A section of philosophy was admit-
ted to the Academy upon petition of
15 members and recommendation of
the Council, as the three-day ses-
sion here concluded yesterday. The
Academy now has a total enrollment
of exactly 1,000, it was reported. This
is a slight drop from last year.

CHICAGO, March 18.--Al)-Mich-
igan swept across the finish line with 1
firsts in the final three events to-
night to pass Northwestern and win
the Big Ten swimming champion-
ship for the sixth time in seven
years, with a total of 40 points.
Northwestern, which rushed ahead
of the champions with a victory in
the inaugural 400-yard relay and a
record-smashing performance by
Donald Horn in the 200-yard breast
stroke, wound up in second place
with 27 points. Illinois was third with

The Summer Repertory Players
will again be under the direction of.
Prof. Thomas Wood Stevens, direc-.
tor of the Artist Guild Theatre in St.1
Louis, and Prof. Valentine B. Windt,
director of Play Production, accord-a
ing to a bulletin issued by the Sum-
mer Session office.
The Summer Repertory Players are,
a summer -stock company run on a
regular professional basis as a thea-
tre laboratory for all courses in thea-
tre arts in the Summer Session and
for the entertainment of Summer!
Session students and townspeople. All
plays produced by this group will be
given in Lydia Mendelssohn Thea-
tre.
Private laboratory presentations
will also be given for the benefit of
those students whose stage of de-
velopmnent warrants their taking a
considerable part in the public thea-
tre activities in the Laboratory
Theatre.
Another feature of the plans of
the department of speech and gen-
eral linguistics for the Summer Ses-
sion is the laboratory of general
linguistics and speech equipped withI
apparatus for the experimental in-
vestigation of problems in phone-
tics, and charts and models for the!
study of the anatomy of the speech
organs.
A special course in the teaching
and coaching of debate in which a
thorough study will be made of the
question to be debated in the Michi-,
gan High School Debating League for
1933-34 will also be given.

P lan To Beat Cash
ScarcityProposed
Bly 'Ens ia. Staff
A plan to beat the cash scarcity
was announced yesterday by John A.
Carstens, '33, business manager of,
the 'Ensian.
Cash is still scarce, despite the re-
opening of the banks, so members of
the 'Ensian business staff have
worked out a deferred payment plan
which will not only save the students
money in buying the yearbooks,
but also will stretch out the pay-
ments until May. Under the new
plan there will be three payments of
$1.50; one now, the next at the be-j
ginning of next month, and the final
one in May, bringing the total cost
to $4.50. All books not purchased on
this plan will cost $5.
The 'Ensian staff took a holiday
when Gov. William A. Comstock
made his proclamation closing the
banks. Work has been resumed,
however, and the year book will be
out on schedule, Carstens said.
