XLIII No. 137 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1933 PRICG FIVE CENTS Senate Plans Striking Picture Of Akron's Rescue Blimp Sinking 73 Of Akron's Crew Dead; evising Of 3.2 Beer Bill Abrupt Reception Given To Governor's Measure Presages Much Delay Hope For Beer in Two Weeks Fading Lawmakers' S e n t imein en ts Overwhelningly Favor Providing Open Sale LANSING, April 4.-(/P)-Gov. Wil- liam A. Comstock's beer bill was tossing Tuesday night on stormy leg- islative seas, with members of the Senate Prohibition Committe deter- mined to rewrite many of its essen- tial details, The abrupt reception given the measure when it was introduced early in the afternoon by Se. An- thony J. Wilkowski, of Detroit, indi- cated' that the Governor's hope of legal beer in this State in two weeks will be short-lived. Another contro- versy such as that which tied up the cxnergency banking legislation for five weeks was in prospect. Open Sale Favored The dispute, however, will not en- danger Governor Comstock's plan for "beer gardens" and sale of the bev- erage by the glass in restaurants, hotels and roadhouses. Sentiment among the lawmakers is overwhelm- ingly in favor of open sale as long :isimbibers do their drniking at tables instead of at bars. The ma- hogany counter and its brass rail are in distinctly bad repute, even though the measure declares 3.2 beer and wine to be non-intoxicating, prima facie evidence to the contrary notwithstandng. Of the five members of the Sen- ate Prohibition Committee, which is in control of the bill for the present, only Sen. Leo G. Karwick, of Detroit, wasksatisfied with Governor Corn- stock's recommendations.b-' 3+ven the inroducer of the ill found many faults. After arguing for two 'hours .Tuesday afternoon, the committee adjourned until Wednes- day morning, when the rewriting task will be undertaken. Objections Voiced Principal objections voiced during the first discussion were that the measure sets up a patronage organi- zation by providing for from 50 to 150 inspectors; that the proposed tax of $1.25 a barrel on beer is excessive in view of, the Federal levy of $5 a barrel; that the license fees propose are in some instances too high and in others too low; that it attempts illegally to fix the price of beer andj food, and that it sets up a costly warehousing system that is not necessary, Criticism extended even to the ad- visory committee that wrote the bill for the Governor. Senator Adolph F.' Hidkamp, of Lake Linden, a former vice-president of a brewery, said that the 17 members of the group "know nothing about the beer business or its merchandising problems." Sen- alors William F. Doyle, of Menomi- nee, and Francis A. Kulp, of Battle Creek, nodded their heads in agree- ment. Senator Wilkowski defended the committee, declaring the mem- bers went into the subject thoroughly before drafting the bill. The argument became so noisy at one time that Senator Wilkowski was compelled to quiet the committee by pointing out that he was the only member who had read the measure and knew its provisions. Testimony In Investigation Of Fire Beotun Testimony against Louis Deising, 127 Grand View Blvd., charged with deliberately setting fire to his con- fectionery store so. that he could collect the insurance, was begun be-I fore Judge Jay Payne in Justice Court yesterday. The trial was not completed, and will ba continued at 2 p. m. tomorrow. Deising claims that in the early morning hours of Jan. 28 two men entered his store, tied him up, drove him away in his car, and dumped him out at Lincoln Park. While he was away his store caught fire, caus- ing considerable damage.

Disapproval Of Action Anticipated By State LANSING, April 4.-(Special)-A petition, signed by more than 3,000 University students, protesting the proposal to cut the University appro- priation from the State by more than 50 per cent was presented to Gov. William A. Comstock today by a com- mittee of student leaders. Governor Comstock, without com- ment on the petition, -indicated that he would pass it on to the Legislature for its action. The petition, which has been spon- sored by. Michigamua, Sphinx, the National Student League, and The Daily was received with an almost unanimous appf'oval from all stu- dents on the campus who were asked to sign. The appropriations cut, according to Rep. Philip C. Pack (Rep., Ann Arbor), is really more than the bill reducing it would lead onesto believe, since the amount of taxes that are to be collected this year will probably be less than last year,,and the Uni- versity's levy is a certain portion, de- termined by law, of the total amount of taxes collected. The original plan of offering the petition to the University Committee of the Legislature when they were in meeting here Monday was abandoned at the last minute because it was be- lieved that more weight would be at-I tached to it if it came from the g overnor. The question of the University ap- propriation will come before the Leg- islature as the special order to busi- ness on April 11, during Spring Va- cation, and students-have been plan- ning to attend the session.

S. Navy dirigible Akron crashed into the Atlantic early Tuesday, kill- ing 73 officers and members of the crew. Three of the personnel were rescued and are alive. Only two bodies had been found last night. Flying to the scene, off the coast of New Jersey, the U. S. Navy non- rigid airship J-3 also fell into the ocean. Five of the crew of seven were rescued but the commander, who was found in the sea, died later and the body of a member of the crew was recovered. One of the two planes which M~on- day flew over Mt. Everest was forced down in an attempt to fly over a nearby peak. First reports said none were killed. The small French dirigible E-9 was forced to land in France, injuring two. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the naval bureau of aeron- autics, was aboard the Akron and was missing, as were Commander Frank C. McCord, in charge of the dirigible, and 16 other officers. Lieut Comm. Herbert V. Willey, second in command of the Akron and the only officer rescued, declared the dirigible began to lose altitude in the storm, falling despite the release of more ballast. Then it lost its control rud- der and was demolished as it hit the sea. T r' a , i a i I ,i , i A naval court of inquiry was as- sured, and a Congressional investi- gation was understood as certain. Chairman Vinson of the House Naval Committee said: "There won't be any more big airships built-we've built three and lost two." Secretary of the Navy Swanson said: "It is still too early to outline the navy's future policy on aircraft." President Roosevelt described the crash of the Akron as a "national tragedy," and sent Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Henry Lathrofe Roosevelt by airplane to the scene to assist in the search for survivors.

"~Jiii U i ll II " V U Its Second 1933 Concert Tonioht Borghi Concerto Will Be Given Inside By Military Band For First Time Music lovers of Ann Arbor and vicinity are expected to fill Hill Au- ditorium tonight for the second 1933 concert of the Varsity Band, under the direction of Prof. Nicholas D. Falcone. Several facts about the feature solo of the night's program make it one that is regarded with considerable interest in professional and non-pro- fessional circles. The number is Borghi's "Piano Concerto in D ma- I jor." This is the first time the con- certo has been played indoors bya military band, only one other band in the world-that at Michigan State College-has played it, and it is the ' first piano solo ever played on a Varsity Band program. Prof. Joseph Brinkman of the School of Music will be the solo artist. Prof. Leonard Falcone, director of the M.S.C. band and brother of the Michigan bandmaster, arranged the concerto for band accompaniment and also arranged Ravel's "Bolero," which closes the program. 1 urin" Marriage r Dr. E.
