XLIII No. 148 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1933 PRICE FIVE CE: Beer Bill Is Sent To ICornstock Wine Is Also Legaized By Senate And House Opposed By Comstock Governor Dislikes Home Rule Clause tate Liquor Comnmission To Be Appointed Soon If Bill Is Approved LANSING, April 27.-(P)-A bill to legalize the sale and manufacture of 3.2 beer and wine in Michigan was passed by the Legislature today. After two weeks of bickering the measure was approved by both the Senate and the House. It was sent to Governor Comstock's desk con- taining provisions distasteful to the executive. If he signs the bill, the act will become effective at once, and legal beer may start flowing in a few days. The Governor started studying the measure tonight. He said he would discuss its terms with members of his advisory committee before decid- ing whether to veto or approve the measure. He objected principally to an ironclad home rule provision in- serted by the Senate. It stipulated that licenses to vendors of beer and wine could not be issued without the approval of local governing bodies, and that licenses be revoked upon the demand of two-thirds of the members of the city, township or vil- lage legislative bodies. Wayne county alone was exempted from the home rule clause. "I will not know whether I will veto or sign the bill until I have dis- cussed it with members of the ad- visory committee that drew up the measure," the Governor said. "Off- hand I would say I do not like the provision and might send it back to the LeVslature. To put 6o tral of beer and wine in the hands of local bodies will be to return it to politics. That is the thing we want to get away from. Control should be in a central body., Governor Comstock c-o n f e r r e d briefly with James Gordon Bonine, Cassopolis, a member of the advisory committee, and later with . other members. If the bill is approved the Gov- ernor, plans to appoint a state liquor control commission at once. The measure provides there must be 17 members, not more than nine of whom may belong to the same poli- tical party. One will be named for each Congressional district.

The plans are not yet complete, but several business men of Ann Arbor have evidenced serious interest in the venture. Police Chief Thomas O'Brien has1 sanctioned the event and has prom- ised to have Ingalls Street from A North University to Washington blocked off; several merchants have Ialrea4dy" offered; prizes for the win- ners of the contests; and complete equipment has been donated from various concerns for the carnival. Miss Ruth Robinson, social chairman of the League, is planning the affair and has so far made arrangements for music during the evening by Pete Blumcquist's 11-piece orchestra. The folowing speed races and nov- elty features are planned: boys, all under 18; boys, all over 18; girls, all under 18; girls, all over 18; obstacle races for above groups; men's fancy skating, women's fancy skating, most graceful couple, most unusual ve- hicle, fraternity and independent four-man relay races.

Storekeeper Gets Paid Off; Officer Bites Feeding Hand All these things happened the other day to C. W. Graham, well-known manager of a local bookstore: 1. A policeman walked into Mr. Graham's store and asked him for a piece of chalk. 2. The policeman came back with . the chalk and asked if he could bor- row a pencil. 3. The policeman came back with' the pencil, thanked Mr. Graham, and walked out. 4. Mr. Graham became curious and, went outside. There on the tire of his car was a patrolman's chalk- mark; on the car was a tag for over- time parking. 6. Mr. Graham turned the other cheek to the stunned officer: "May I; drive you down to the police sta- tion?" U. S. Promises To Work With League GENEVA, Switzerland, April 27.- (/P)-Norman H.

Track Coach Charlie Hoyt has taken them under his paternal wing, but they fail to respond to his treatment and it is feared that their death is immin- ent. With the first signs of spring a few weeks ago a father and mother meadow-lark built themselves a lit- tle home in the middle of wind- swept Ferry Field. Carefully they hollowed out a hole in the grass to provide a comfortable bed for the little ones, and now their solicitude is to go for naught.. Members of the track team prac- ticing on the field discovered the tiny nest when the babies were hat- chedla. Thursday. ,Tendrly the. brawny athletes placed sticks around the home to protect the baby larks and the fledglings responded by gap- ing their oversize mouths for food when anyone approached. With the return of cooler weather, the trackmen, who return nightly from the cold weather to a hot show- er, fearing for the safety of their tiny charges, laid blocks of wood be- side the nest to protect it from the biting winds. The birds became sick- ly and someone wrapped a towel about the nest,, but all to no avail. Yesterday the week-old fledglings refused the food carefully selected for them by their worried parents and it is feared by the squad that the end is near. Meanwhile the javelins continue to shower down on the sod carefully avoiding the nest, and cleated shoes continue to pound the' cinder track. Despite the tragedy being enacted in the middle of the field varsity prac- tice must go on. French Club To Stage Moliere PlayTon'ghtI "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" by Moliere will be presented at 8:15 p. m. today by the Cercie Francais in the Laboratory Theatre. This musical comedy concerns a merchant Monsieur Jourdain, who desires to get entrance to high so- ciety and his various antics in learn- ing the graces which befit a man in such a position. It is enlivened by scenes with some of his instructors in which they almost start a fight over the respective merits of their sciences. Another incident is the Tur- kish Ceremony in which Jourdain is made a "mamamouchi." This scene was put in at the request of Louis XIV who wished to ridicule the Turks. Harry J. Skornia, Grad., plays the lead role as M. Jourdain, supported by Ruth Karpinski, Grad., as Ma- dame Jourdain; Norma Lou Cove, '34, as Lucile, their daughter; and John Maulbetsch, Grad., as Cleonte, her sweetheart.Prof. Rene Talamon of the French department is directing the play. A synopsis of the piece in English will be included. Original music by Lulli, famous Will Meet In Connection With Association Of SCollegiate Registrars More than 1,500 members of the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club will open a three-day session here at 2:45 p. in. today in connection with meet- ings of the Michigan- Association of Collegiate Registrars, the Michigan Society for Vocational Education and the Michigan High School Debat- ing League. Enrollment in the annual confer- ence has been cut down considerably because many teachers have had large salary cuts-some have not re- ceived any pay for weeks-and can- not afford to attend the meetings this year, L. P. Jocelyn, secretary- treasurer, said last night. Morethan 2,600 attended the meeting last year, but Mr. Jocelyn approximated that 1,500 to 2,000 would be present at this session. The three general themes -of the conference, as expressed by President Alexander G. Ruthven, will be "train- ing in citizenship, the inspiration which research brings to teaching, - and the organization of teachers." The program for the conference follows: Administrative teachers' confer- ence: luncheon, 12:30 p. m. Friday, Room 319, Union; 2 p. m.

J., April 26.-An eight-ounce glass of draught beer for 10 cents will be available to students of Princeton University with the completion of the Princeton Inn's, taproom, it has been announced by J. Howard Slocum, manager of the inn.+ Bottled beer will also be made available, Mr. Slocum said. Before the legalization of 3.2 brew, a la carte meals formed the major attraction of the inn.- Paul R. Buckley, manager of the Union, said yesterday that sale of 3.2 beer in the Union depends, in his opinion, entirely on action by the Board of Regents. He said he be- lieved the president and recording secretary of the Union had no power to authorize such sale, even if the. amendment to the city charter for- bidding "spiritous" liquors east of j Division Street is repealed. 'Diary Of A Revolutionist' Opens Tonight At League "The Diary of a Revolutionist," a Russian picture telling of sabotage on the Soviet Five-Year Plan will open tonight at the Lydia Mendel- ssohn Theatre .under the auspices Maize and Blue boxers scored four victories out of eight matches in the Student Good Will Boxing Show at Yost Field House last night as Dave Golden, Joe Oakley, Tony Dauksza, and Dave Gallup won. Many of the 2,000 saw their first prize fighting. Some liked it and some didn't as the high and low spots in the three-hour spectacle of amateur fighting passed quickly be- fore their eyes. Sometimes they booed but mostly they cheered during the 16 bouts that were run off. Feature Is Close The main event, between Jack Starwas and Harvey Bauss, did not bring the show to the height that was expected as neither fighter cared to take any chances. Each has tre- mendous respect for the other and the dynamite that each held ready to fire if a break ever came, was held in check until the third round when Starwas forged ahead to win the de- cision. The fight up to the third, was judged exactly even by all three officials, referee John Johnstone, O. R. Benjamin, and Henry Sullivan. The Golden Gloves light heavy- weight champion k e p t jabbing away with his left during the first two rounds but took the lead by landing three solid rights to Bauss' jaw in the last stanza. Flyweight Is Easy Two flyweights were selected for the semi-final by Vernon Larson, the freshman boxing coach who arranged the show, Jack Bissell of Battle Creek and Stan Ceislick, Bys Clube, Detroit. The former hit the floorj three times as his chin stopped the terrific rights of Ceislick who won an easy decision. Let Corsini gave the crowd plenty to cheer about by flooring Stan Wizo- rick, Battle Creek featherweight, twice in the last round for counts of five and three. He was measuring the Battle Creek man for a knockout as the bell rang. The free hitting de- lighted the audience who split up. into the camps for every fight, one backing the winner, the second the loser. Nadeau Wins Hard One Joe Nadeau, the Detroit Eastern High School nine-letter athlete and Golden Glove Novice flyweight cham- pion, had a hard fight from Clyde Jacoby, of Battle Creek, finalist in the open division of the Golden Gloves. The Christ Church A. C. boy gave a brilliant exhibition of clever boxing to win. He produceda two- handed attack which, along with his superior footwork, kept him ahead throughout. Dave Gallup won a decision over Ernie Stebbleton, of Battle Creek, with his left jabs. He kept jabbing away for three rounds, coolly keep- ing his distance from Ernie's wild swings. It was Stebbleton's second fight but .he showed enough speed to merit the crowd's boos of the unam- (continued on Page 3) CUT APPROPRIATION MINNEAPOLIS, April 26.- The University of Minnesota appropria- tion for the next two years will be reduced by only $480,000 per year.

Senate Votes' To Have Free Silver Coinage Amendment Proposed By Senators Wheeler, King For Remonetization Auditor -General Direc Modification Of Measu For Half Pay To June 3 Meet 50 Per Cent 0 University Salari< No Provision Made For Michigan State College; Gas Tax Brings Revenue LANSING, April 27. - (P) ---The State will meet its full payroll May 1, the auditor-general's office an- nounced t o d a y. Auditor-General John K. Stack said that his office was able to modify the recent order of the state administration board di- recting half-pay for state employes beginning May 1. He said the change was due to" substantial gasoline t./ collections. Employes will go on a half-time basis, however, May 15, unless collections continue to im- ,rove he said. Stack declared that property tax collections are rather slow. The auditor-general said that only X236,000 of the $500,000 payroll at the University of Michigan will be net the first of the month. No pro- vision, he said, has yet been made vith regard to the payroll of Michi- ;an State College, but he expressed ;he opinion that it would coincide ,omewhat with the University re- lease. WASHINGTON, April 27.-UP)-| Free coinage of silver was written into the administration's monetary inflation legislation by the Senate late today after a turbulent session which ended in an agreement to limit debate and thus hasten a final vote An amendment proposed by Sen- ators Wheeler (D., Mont.) and King (D., Utah) was added to the measureI to authorize the President to remone- tize silver at any ratio to gold that he sees fit. The amendment pro- vides, also, for free and unlimited coinage at that ratio. The bimetallism clause was accept- ed by a vote of 41 to 26 after the pro- vision of the inflation legislation au-, thorizing the President to reduce the gold content of the dollar by as much as 50 per cent had been subjected to terrific opposition from Sen. Borah, Idaho's Republican independent, and Sen. Robinson (R., Ind.) had inject- ed the cash soldiers bonus issue by offering an amendment to pay the war veterans out of the proposed $3,- 000,000,000 of new currency. Senator Carter Glass, Virginia Democrat and outstanding Senate authority on finance, Wednesday broke with the Administration on the inflation legislation. He said he would vote against the farm bill as well as the inflation proposals, which are attached to the farm measure as a rider. Both plans are advocated by President Roosevelt. Reports To Be Distributed In Classes Today Student Conference Makes Outline Of Subjects To Be Brought Up At Parley The primary report on the Inter- national Student Conference on World Affairs to be held May 4, 5, 6, and 7 atthe Union came off the presses yesterday and will be dis- tributed to studentsin various classes today. This report contains an outline for each of three fields that will be cov- ered by the conference. A student commission will handle the discus- sion in each of these fields, which are world politics, world economics, and world society. Faculty members and students have co-operated in drawing up this report, which includes outlines of the subjects likely to come up, an ex- tensive bibliography, and a list of speakers who will give short talks on various phases of the subject. An attempt will be made to link the discussion as far as possible with the current news of today, especially in the divisions of world politics, in which the crisis in Germany and the situation in the Far East will form two of the topics scheduled for cer- tain of the meetings, Gordon Galaty, All University employes face the prospect of receiving half-pay for April as a result of the announce- nent yesterday by Auditor-General Stack relative to the payment of State salaries for the current month. The $236,000 which has been ac- ,orded the University will, accord- ng to Shirley W. Smith, vice-presi- lent and secretary of the University, iermit payment of one-half of all ,Jniversity salaries for April. These salaries would include those of all )rofessors, directors, instructors, and ,lerks of the University along with he salaries of employes of the Build- "ng and Grounds Department and the University Hospital. Although the University adminis- tration has received no official notice of the action of the auditor-general, :ts opinion yesterday was that it is Iifficult to see the fairness of treat- ng one group of State employes dif- ferently from another. A review of the existing situation n regard to University salaries by Vice-President Smith showed that the hourly wage employes of the Building and Grounds Department have been paid in full up to April 10. The hourly labor at the University Hospital has been paid up to April 11. All other University employes are paid in full to the end of March as a result of the salary payments made April 15, which covered the last half of the March payroll. A payroll including all employes falls due at the end of this month. The $236,000 which the State plans now to release to the University will permit the payment of only one- half of this payroll. A group of members of the State Senate will be in Ann Arbor today to discuss University finances with Uni- versity officials. Senior Ball To Be Held After Examinations Committee Changes Date To June 14; Is Revival Of Old Tradition An old tradition will be revived this year when the Senior Ball will take place after examinations are completed. The date for this last class dance of the year has been set at June 14, according to a statement issued by the executive committee yesterday afternoon. The consent of Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, for this new ar- rangement has already been ob- tained. The idea is not a new one. as the Senior Ball was regularly held af. th _apmp _ -ua inch ai of the Art Cinema League. .by the Board of Regents. Personalities In May Festival Described By Prof. Hackett John Charles Thomas, recently signed Metropolitan baritone, and Frederick Jagel, well known tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, Company, both of whom will sing at the May Festival, are two of the most inter- esting personalities among modern musicians, Arthur Hackett, professor of voice, believes. "Mr. Thomas is one of the clever- est prestidigitators I have ever seen," Professor Hackett, who is himself a musician of note and has been as- the Metropolitan offered him. Soon after that he went to Europe to study voice and made his operatic debut in Brussels. Returning to the United States, he won recognition as one of the outstanding baritones of the country and signed a contract with the late Chicago Civic Opera Co. Fi'ederick Jagel, Professor Hackett said, started his career singing with Roxy at the Capitol theatre in New York. He also studied in Europe and on his return signed a contract with thi Murnla
