XLIII No. 159 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1933 Tax Bill, Virtually' Unaltered, Is Sent To Floor Of House Council Plans Discussion Of Campus Beer Interfraternity Group Consider Drinking Brew In Fraternities To Of Committee Respects Gov. Comstock's Desire To Retain Original Form Bitter Struggle In Legislature Is Seen Sales, Income Levy Would Produce $35,000,000 Yearly, Is Belief LANSING, May 9.-(AP)-The ad- ministration sales and gross income tax bill was released to the floor of the House today, virtually in the form in which it was introduced. The taxation committee has strug- gled with the measure for weeks, seeking a compromise to consolidate support. Failing in this, the members decided to comply with Governor Comstock's wishes and report the bill with its original broad provisions covering almost every type of sales and service. A bitter floor fight is anticipated. Some members of the House com- mittee warned the Governor they did not believe the bill could pass in its present form. They contended too many diverse interests are affected. Efforts in the committee to limit the measure to a straight retail sales tax failed, and the measure was given to the House encompassing not only re- tail sales but manufactured products and utility and professional services. Governor Comstock believes the sales and income levy, if adopted in its present form, would produce $35,- 000,000 a year. He planned to appor- tion $15,000,000 of this to school aid, $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 to welfare activities and the balance, plus fees collected by the State, to replace the State property tax. The bill would impose a 3 per cent tax on gross in- comes of utilities and professional services, theatre admissions, circuses, carnivals, dance halls, race tracks and all retail sales; three-tenths of one per cent on manufactured ar- ticles; two-tenths of one per cent on mine and quarry products and tim- ber. Newspapers are construed as manufacturers, and come under the three-tenths of one per cent classi- fication. Farmers are exempt from the tax on sales of their produce. While the House was receiving the sales tax measure the Senate revived] the controversial problem of delin- quent tax relief by passing and trans- mitting to the House ansubstitute bill providing for installment paying of back taxes. The measure, a substi- tute for the original Moore bill, is much more liberal than a delinquent tax proposal previously approved by the House. Concert Today To Open Band's Campus Series Weather permitting, the first out- door concert during the regular ses- sion in years, will be presented by the Varsity Band at 7:15 p. m. today on the bandstand in the center of the Diagonal Walk. A program scheduled to begin a Wednesday night series of band con- certs was called off last week on ac- count of cold. The full 70-piece concert organiza- tion will be under the direction of Prof. Nicholas D. Folcone and four student conductors, all seniors in School of Music classes. The reason for having student conductors at this concert, Professor Falcone said, is to give them practice in conducting be- fore an audience. A program including classics of fa- mous conductors, a Michigan song, I and a popular military march has been chosen by Professor Falcone. It is as follows: King: Barnum and Bailey, march; W a g n e r: overture to "Rienzi"; Haydn: minuet and finale to the Mil- itary Symphony (Keith Stein, Spec., SM, directing); Debussy: Golliwogs' Cake-Walk; Pierne: A 1'Eglise, chor- ale (Bernard Hirsch, '33SM, direct- ing); Bizet: minuet and farandole from L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 (Fred- erick PF Enest.'33SM.divrctin~): 2 Journalists Are Added To Control Board Perry, White Will Begin Their Terms At Once, Acting As Advisers Two of the State's most outstand- ing journalists and alumni of the University were announced yesterday as new members of the Board in Con- trol of Student Publications by Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to Pres- ident Ruthven. Lee A White, '10, of the executive editorial staff of the Detroit News, and Stuart H. Perry, '94, '96L, owner and publisher of the Adrian Daily Telegram, are the new members. Their terms will begin at once for a two year period. Mr. White is a for- mer managing-editor of The Daily and the founder and former mnan- aging editor of the Gargoyle. Mr. Perry, one of the vice-presidents of the Associated Press, is recognized as one of the most outstanding journal- ists in the nation and his paper has received wide acclaim. In 1919 he was awarded an honorary degree of Mas- ter of Arts by the University. It was explained by Dr. Robbins that the new members will act in an advisory capacity on the Board, fill- ing a long-felt need for men from the professional journalistic world to aid in the supervision of the publica- tions. Their appointment is the direct result of a recommendation made by Prof. Louis A. Straus, chairman of the department of English language and literature and chairman of the Board in Control of Student Publica- tions, in his annual report to the University Council. Speaking for the Board, Professor Straus stated that the present mem- bers are all delighted with the ar- rangement and expect that the addi- tion of men with professional experi- ence will be of great value to the publications. Other members of the Board at present, in addition to Chairman Straus, are Prof. Edson R. Sunder- land of the Law School, Prof. Robert C. Angell of the sociology depart- ment, Dean Joseph E. Bursley, and three student members, Vernor Bishop, '33, Edward W. Bowen, '33, and Kenneth L. Yourd, '33. 5,000-Year-Old Play Returns To Campus "Savitri (Love Conquers Death," a' Hindu play written 5,000 years ago,' will be presented again in a free per- formance in English at 8 p. m. tomor- row in Lane Hall, it was learned last' night.' Brought back to this campus by re- I quest after its performance of last week, "Savitri," which is to be played by the original cast with all of the, original costumes and stage prop- erties, is under the auspices of the Hindu-American Club. A legacy from the pre-epic period of Hindu litera- ture, the play has been presented time after time in India. It deals with family life and marital devo- tion, Savitri, the heroine, being the Hindu model wife. , The drama was translated into English by Das-Gupta, a Hindu liv- ing in Chicago.I To Elect President And Four Others Tryouts For Positions On Judiciary Committee Are Asked To Be Present A resolution which, if adopted, would pledge the Interfraternity Council to oppose the consumption of beer in fraternity houses will be acted on by the council at the meet- ing to be held at 8 p. m. today in Room 316 of the Union, it was an- nounced by Edwin T. Turner, '33, president of the council. Prepared by a group of fraternity alumni and undergraduates, the res- olution reads as follows:" Recogniz- ing the right and ability of each in- dividual fraternity to legislate on the' matters of internal discipline and house conduct, the Interfraternity Council recommends that beer be not served or drunk in or on fraternity premises, and that the use or drink- ing of the same be limited to the lawfully licensed places for consump- tion."1 Legal Beer Makes Problem 1 The legalization of beer at 6 p. m. tomorrow will bring the question to the fore, and it is understood that7 alumni feeling is against the con-I sumption of the beverage in the houses.< One prominent fraternity alumnus1 said, "When we were in school it' didn't hurt us to walk down town to1 get our beer and there is no reasont why the students today should not drink their beer in the places sett aside for that purpose."t The election of next year's presi-i :ent of the council will also take place tonight, it has been announced.g Nominations, made by the judiciary1 committee after interviews with can-1 didates, will be announced at thee meeting.t Four undergraduate members of the judiciary committee will be elect-P ed from floor nominations. One member is to be elected from each fraternity group, the president rep- resenting his group on the commit-1 tee. The groups were taken by lot. Faculty and alumni members of the Judiciary Committee will be consid-i ered. Sophomores May Try Out Max Gail, '34, who was recentlyI elected secretary-treasurer of theT council, has asked all tryouts for positions on the judiciary commit- tee to be present at the meeting and get in touch with him after the ses- sion is over. Work has already been started on the "Freshman Bible" for next year, he said. Only sophomores are eligible for the tryout positions, Gail said. The problem, according to Turner, is that fraternities faced with finan- cial ruin are prevented from consoli- dating by restrictions imposed by thec national organizations. A survey ofI conditions on campus is being made,r he said, to see what measures may be taken to alleviate the perplexingv situation.I Flood Of Amber Beer Awaits Signal To Got DETROIT, May 9.--UP)-Dammedr up tonight in breweries and ware-o houses, a flood of amber brew, bothc State-made and imported from otherI states and Canada, awaited arrivedt of the "zero hour" in Michigan-to-r morrow at 6 p. m.t House Sends Relief Bill To . White Housc 'Clean Up' Day Hastens Three Other Measures Toward Final Action Muscle Shoals Act Now In Conference New Forward Steps Are Taken In Inte'rnational Parleys; China Here WASHINGTON, May 9.- /)-The House made this a cleanup day for the administration, sending one bill to the White House and hastening three more to the verge of final pas- sage. As it put through bill after bill, the aides of President Roosevelt were completing for his approval another giant measure, combining the bond- financed public works program with the industrial control plan for lim- iting competition and raising wages. Trouble loomed for the latter, how- ever, in Congress. The bill finally passed was the $500,000,000 measure for relief grants to states, counties and cities. The big farm relief -farm mortgage refinance inflation bill was put up to the Senate by approval of every- thing in it but the Norris-Simpson plan for guaranteeing farmers a rea- sonable profit on their crops. That was emphatically rejected by the House, and the Senate was expected to abandon it tomorrow. Sent to conference were the Muscle Shoals-Tennessee Valley development bill and the meaure for Federal reg- ulation of security issues. Both were likely to win final approval before the end of the week. . With this rapid advancement of the domestic program, the adminis- tration made new forward strides in its international negotiations. They reached the point today where Wash- ington officials were confident the Roosevelt-proposed truce on tariffs pending the World Economic Confer- ence would win out. Acceptance by Great Britain was indicated. China, represented here now by Finance Minister T. V. Foong, showed assent, and so did other nations. Foong conferred at length with Secretary Hull,- with silver an im- portant topic. The ever-present war debts issue was given a new turn today by Hull in a statement to newspapermen that they would be dealt with individually with each debtor, either here or in London, during the course of the ec& nomic conference now five weeks off.

The licenses must be approved by the State Liquor Control Com- mission before the beverages can be sold, but this is expected to be a formality following the council's decision. The meeting was attended by a large number of merchants with stores east of the Division Street line, who, represented by lawyers, claimed that the bond and license committee's decision to refuse them permits was "unfair." Their discussion with the coun- cil was abruptly ended when a motion to adjourn was seconded and Council President E. E. Lucas, without taking a vote, proclaimed the meeting over. A report on applications was made by Alderman Walter Sadler, chairman of the bond and license committee.

The regents adopted a resolution which makes mandatory the removal of the designation "official news- paper" from the masthead of the paper. The line in the masthead which will have to be removed in part states: "Founded April 4, 1892, as oflicial daily newspaper of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin." The resolution also provided for a special committee to consider possible form of organization and control for the Cardinal that will best safeguard both the principle of responsibility and the principle of freedom in the' management of the paper. The committee is to report to the next meeting of the regents in June. Members of the committee are to be all of the members of the Cardinal board of control and its editor; Glenn Frank, president of the university; Fred H. Clausen, president of the re- gents; Regents Harold M. Wilkie,; Arthur Sholts, and John M. Calla- han, of the regents' executive com- mittee, and Dean George C.

Arnold presented motion pictures1 taken in Harney County, Ore., Student Teachers ~Play .Production's Final Presentation To Be Next Week "An emergency situation J which proved to be an excellent test of the ability of a theatre organization to act, presented itself suddenly last Saturday," Valentine B. Windt, direc- tor of Play Production, said yester- day, commenting on the unexpected announcement that "She Stoops to Conquer," by Oliver Goldsmith, would replace "Cradle Song" as the con- cluding play in the current season. The notice of the change of af- fairs came early Saturday, Mr. Windt explained, and that afternoon a new play had been selected and a cast was rehearsing. Yesterday, more than 30 people were working on the production, us- ing every available foot of space in the Laboratory Theatre. In the cos- tume room;the finishing touches were being given to the Eighteenth Cen- tury dresses-which will be used in the play. On the stage, the crew was con- cluding the building of the three] necessary sets. In small corners,] groups had gathered and were learn- ing their lines. "She Stoops to Conquer" will be given at 8:30 p. m. next Monday and Tuesday. Matinees will be given at 4:15 p. m. Wednesday and Thursday. Tickets will be placed on sale at spe- cial "depression" prices at 25 and 35 cents when the box office opens Friday. Comedy Club Play To Open Tomorrow "Murray Hill," a three-act comedy by Leslie Howard, laid in the fine old residential district of New York after which the play was named, will open for the first time in Ann Arbor at 8:15 p. m. tomorrow in Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre as one of the fea- tures of Spring Homecoming. The play will conclude Comedy Club's dramatic season for 1933. The play will be presented Friday night, and Saturday evening there will be a special Mothers' Day per- formance. Tickets for the play are to be reserved at 50 cents for the evenings and 35 cents for the Satur- day matinee. licenses to any merchant east of Division Street, he said that if these merchants felt any griev- ance they should resort to the courts. He then listed all of the 20 mer- chants granted licenses. Most of these establishments were small down-town restaurants and groceries, although the Elks Club and the Allenel Hotel were included. The only beer garden permit was given to Charles Preketes, 109-111 South Main St. The council passed his report without discussion. Speaking for the drug stores east of the Division Street line, attorney Frank DeVine then said, "The Divi- sion Street provision exempts drug stores. They are allowed to sell beer. They have their applications in, their bonds posted, their taxes paid, and the city recognizes them as legiti- mate business men of the commun- ity. There is no valid reason why they should not get licenses at this time." John W. Dwyer, another attorney, claimed that all stores east of Divi- sion Street had a legal right to sell beer, as the provision in the charter was repealed in the recently enacted liquor control bill. "With these men," he said, "it is not a question of get- ting new business. It is a matter of holding on to what they have, of keeping their present livelihood." Alderman Sadler, who is a profes sor of civil engineering in the engi- neering college, then explained that licenses had not been granted to Irug stores east of Division Street ecause he, personally, as well as the committee, had not thought it "ex- ,edient." "Why isn't it expedient?" asked DeVine. "That's self-evident. I don't think [ need to go into those details," Sad- ler replied. "But there is nothing against the applicants?" "No." "Did the committee make an in- spection of these drug stores?" "I can't go into that. It's not ma- terial whether they open tomorrow or not. What is two or three dollars to them for a few days? I am look- ing.at this thing from the standpoint of public welfare." DeVine then asked City Attorney William Laird if he knew of any legal reason why these stores should not get their licenses. Laird replied that he did not. Alderman Leigh Young asked De- Vine, "How are these drug stores going to sell it?" "The same as those west of Divi- sion Street which have been granted licenses," replied DeVine. "Mr. President, I move we ad- journ," said Alderman William Hol- lands, superintendent emeritus of the Printing and Binding Depart- ment of the University. "I second it," Sadler said. "No vote is necessary on a move to adjourn," Lucas announced. "The meeting is- therefore adjourned." Last night merchants on State Street said they planned to send a committee to Lansing to get a ruling from the attorney general upon the charter provision. A number of Uni- versity professors have privately Free Movies At Two Theatres To Aid Student Good Will Fund s Fare Afield; No Discipline Problems Found Free shows at the Michigan and Majestic Theatres Friday night are expected to help considerably in the filling of the coffers of the Good Will Fund, according to Jerry Hoag, man- ager of the Michigan Theatre. While the theatres furnish the shows en- tirely free of charge, making the designation "free show" applicable, there will be a varied admission charge in the nature of an offering from those who attend. Through the co-operation of the Athletic Association, barriers and With 3,000 expected to attend, it has been estimated that an average contribution from all patrons should net at least $500 for the fund. The theatre has permitted this arrange- ment, Mr. Hoag said, with the single stipulation that no student present- ing an identification card be denied admittance, whether he drops coins into the pails or not., The feature for the evening has not yet been selected, but will be picked from a list of new first run at- of July. Kipke Will Give Feature Talk At Freshman Night1 Coach Harry Kipke will give the principal address at Freshman Night, to be held at about 8 p. m. Friday, it was said last night by Hugh Grove,] '34E, who is in charge of Freshman Night and the spring games. William Elliott, '33, will act as master of cere- monies, and Fielding H. Yost, ath-] letic director, will make the presen- Results of "field work" in directed teaching were presented yesterday in the form of panel discussion and a playlet, at a School of Education! assembly held in University High School Auditorium by Students of the! Co-Related Course in Directed Teaching. Prof. Raleigh Schorling of the education school presided. The 21 students, undergraduates and graduates, who participated, had been on "field work" in about 12 difTerent schools of the state of, Michigan and vicinity. The purpose of this work was "to give them an opportunity to study the school as of the characters. This short skit "depicted how the students can get together in fun-one of the real assets of the course." The panel discussion centered about the topic, "What are the values of the five weeks spent in the co-relation course?" One student said that the impres- sion he obtained from the school in which he worked, was that to be a successful teacher, a person "must be a town politician, choirmaster, and general good fellow all in one," his actual teaching ability being neglected.
