President Alexander G. Ruthven
will deliver the annual Baccalaureate
address Sunday, June 18, in Hill Au-
ditorium, it was announced yester-
day. He has chosen as his speech "A
Biologist Looks at Peace."
The Rev. Howard R. Chapman has
been selected to give the invocation
and benediction. The program will
open with an organ selection by Prof.
Palmer Christian, who will play
Toccata in C," by Bach. After this
Mr. Chapman will give the invoca-
tion, which will be followed by an
anthem not yet selected.
Dr. Ruthven will then deliver his
address and this will be immediately
followed by a hymn by the audience.
After the benediction there will be
another organ rendition by Professor
Christian, the selection being "Fi-
nale," by Maquaire.
It was also announced thatethere
will be the traditional afternoon
organ recital, at 4:15 p. m. the day of
the Baccalaureate, by Professor
Christian.
Two small changes in the custo-
mary procedure for Baccalaureate
and Commencement were announced
by Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to
President Ruthven. This year faculty
members attending the former will
assemble in Natural Science Building
and will proceed to Hill Auditorium
from there in the regular procession.
This was declared a necessary im-
provement by Dr. Robbins, inasmuch
as in past years the faculty members
have had no regular system to follow
in reaching the ceremonies.
In the case of Commencement,
members of the Board of Regents,
faculty members, and those receiving
honorary degrees will assemble before
the ceremony in designated rooms in
Angell Hall. It was also announced
that the Rev. Henry Lewis will give'
the invocation and benediction for(
Commencement.
Both above changes in the custom]
followed in the past were presented1
to the University Council by a com-]
mittee on commencement procedure,
headed by Dr. Robbins, and were ac-a
cepted by them.]

Union committee appointments for
next year were announced by Robert
Saltzstein, '34, new Union president,
at the installation tbanquet held lastj
night on the second floor terrace of
the Union. Specific positions won
by the aspirants will be kept secret
until next year, however, as a par-
tial overhauling of the committees is
contemplated.
Those appointed are Douglas
Welch, '35, O'Neil Dillon, '35, Owen
Crumpacker, '35, Lawrence Clayton,
'35, Earl 1. Goodier, Jr., '35, Hugh

M. Bates of the Law School was the
principal speaker, and John W.

retary, respectively, gave short talks.
Both Lederle and Huss were pre-
sented with scholarships by' Dean

publicity, dance, reception, and co-
operative, Saltzstein said. The co-
operative committee will be responsi-
ble for maintaining contacts with
other University organizations, aid-
ing them wherever it is found neces-
sary.

Palefaces Are
Given Warningy
y Michigamna
When from out the paleface wigwam
From behind the staring moonface
Came the slow and solemn five booms
Telling that the evening spirit
Wanders over woods and meadows,
Lights the campfires of the heavens,
Then the Michigamua warriors
In their feathers and their warpaint
Soon will gather 'round the oak tree
'Round thq oak tree called the Tap-
pan
There to greet the trembling paleface
Many in number wait the bidding
Of the loud rejoicing redskins
Fcr before they take the long trail
To the home of Michigamua
Many trials and many tortures
First must prove their strength and
courage
Ere the red man bids them welcome,
Ere he calls each paleface "Indian,"
Ere the peace pipe smoke goes sky-
ward.

Prosecution To Present
No Evidence, Accepting
All Jurors As Drawn
Defendant Is Quiet;
Mother Looks On
Supporters Hope Acquittal
Will Get Mooney Pardon
From Old Conviction
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-(A')-
Tom Mooney's "new deal," a long-
hoped for trial on an old indictment
in connection with the bombing of
the 1916 Preparedness Day parade,
got under way today, with the first
session devoted to an unsuccessful
attempt to get a jury from the ini-
tial panel of 46.
As strange a trial as ever a jury
heard, with the prosecution willing-
ly accepting jurors as drawn and in-
tending to present no evidence, the
procecdings moved briskly along in
the court of Superior Judge Louis H.
Ward.
There was Mooney, florid and
quiet, with, his attorneys headed by
the veteran Frank P. Walsh. Among
the spectators was the aged mother,
Mary Mooney, and Mooney's wife,
Rena.
Mooney had been brought to the
county jail here a few days ago from,
San Quentin, where he has been
serving a life sentence for convic-
tion at his first trial for bombing the
1916 parade, which resulted in loss
of 10 lives.
Straight through, without any time
out for lunch, until the panel had
been exhausted, was the rigor that
Judge Ward applied to the opening
day of the trial. When adjournment
was taken for the day, 35 of the 46
talismen in the panel had been ex-
cused either for cause or by peremp-
tory challenge. Of the 11 remaining
in the jury box, seven were women.
A new panel was ordered for to-
morrow.
At the outset Judge Ward said he
would not allow the trial to become1
an instrument for Mooney to use in
an attempt to free himself from his;
life sentence. Mooney's supporters
hope an acquittal in the present case
would aid them in getting a pardon
on the first conviction.
The prosecution is in charge ofi
William Murphy, assistant district
attorney, whose chief, Matthew A.
Brady, has opposed the trial and
for years has favored a pardon for1

France Against
Destruction Of
War Materials
Paul - Boncour Advocates
Preservation Of Heavy
Arms For League Use.
GENEVA, May 23. -UOP)-France
put a puzzling face to the disarma-
ment conference today when Foreign
Minister Paul-Boncour opposed the
destruction of heavy war material
and advocated its preservation for
use by the League of Nations against
an aggressor.
Destruction of heavy war material
is provided by the British plan which
is supported by the United States,
Italy and Germany, as well as by its
authors.
Thus did the foreign minister of
France revive and give new emphasis
to the old Tardieu scheme for the
internationalization of heavy mobile
guns, tanks.' and other offensive
weapons.
A German spokesman, comment-
ing afterwards, said that Paul-Bon-
cour's announcement meant that
France no longer accepts the Brit-
ish project, for which she has signi-
fied acceptance.

Senate Probers, Led By
Pecora, Find $48,000
Was Paid In 1930
J. P. Enjoys Telling
Financial Secrets
Lost Money'
WASHINGTON, May 23.-P)-
A Senate investigating committee
was told today that none of the 20
members of J. P. Morgan and Co.
paid any income tax for the years
1931 or 1932 because of losses report-
ed by their firm.
J. P. Morgan, senior partner of the
firm, and Leonard Keyes, office man-
ager, testified at the opening of the
investigation by the banking commit-
tee that the total income taxes paid
by the partners in 1930 were about
$48,000 and none had been paid
since.
They said that in reorganizing the
firm Jan. 2, 1931, a loss of $21,000,-
000 was established but had not been
used to get out of paying income
taxes because it was not needed, and
now, by virtue of a change in the
law, can't be used in 1933.
Morgan Comortable
Throughout the thrill-packed day
of cross-examination, the usually
reticent and retiring banker sat
comfortably in his witness chair and
seemed to enjoy disclosing informa-
tion never before told about the
operation of his business.
He disclosed that the total assets
of the private banking house at the
close of 1932 were $424,08,095, and
that it had deposits of about $340,-
000,000.
A list of more than 50 corporations
doing business in interstate corn-
merce that had deposits of more
than one million dollars each in his
bank was given the committee by
the gray-headed, 65-year-old finan-
cier.
This and a mass of other informa-
tion that even the famous "Pujo
Money Trust" investigation of 21
years ago failed to develop from his
father, was handed the committee
with a smile, but John W. Davis,
counsel for the bankers, intervened
to prevent supplying the partnership
agreement under which the firm
operates.
A "Private Matter"
Davis, the Democratic presidential
candidate in 1924, insisted that this
was a "private matter," but the com-
mittee later in executive session de-
cided to ask for it any way, with the
understanding that it could decide
later whether to make the agreement
public.
The counsel for the Morgan firm
agreed also to submit it. The part-
nership agreement shows the divi-
sion of profits and liability for losses.
The committee, meanwhile, decid-
ed to make public loans by the firm
to executives of other banks.
The committee decided that the
list of those individuals who had
$100,000 or more on deposit with the
huge banking house would be con-
sidered by the committee only in
executive session.
Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the
committee, had made a strong plea
that the disputed lists be made avail-
able so that he could ask questions
about them.
