XLII No. 175 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MAY 28, 1933 U U - Open Fair In Whirlpool Of Color, Sound Monument To Century Of Progress Is Started Off Before Crowd Of 25,000 Emissaries Of 38 Countries Present Governor Horner, Mayor Kelly Welcome Visitors To Chicago Celebration. CHICAGO, May 27.-(')-In a whirlpool of color and sound, a "Cen- tury of Progress" was dedicated to- day by high dignitaries of govern- ment, state and the city whose hun- dredth anniversary it commemorated. Representatives from 38 nations took part in the ceremony. As the warm May sun reached its meredian, Postmaster General James A. Farley, emissary of President Roosevelt, faced the vast arena of Soldier Field and before a crowd of 25,000 pronounced the exposition open to the world. Overhead two dirigibles drifted, Bombs burst and showered the field with flags. In behalf of the President, who was prevented by press of national affairs from attending the formal opening, he said: "Every convention of the peoples of the world brings nearer the time of mutual helpfulness, so I welcome the celebration you are now begin- ning. It is timely not because it marks a century of accomplishment, but it comes at a time when the world needs nothing so much as a better mutual understanding of the peoples of the earth." "I congratulate Chicago and its guests and wish the Exposition un- bounded- success-success as a show but more success in helping to bring about a binding friendship among the nations of the earth." Farley termed the exposition a ~ cohesive force In promoting inter- national goodwill and lubricating the channels of world trade. The welcome of Illinois was ex- tended by Gov. Henry Horner. He recounted how the state, and par- ticularly Chicago, had progressed during the past century. Mayor Edward J. Kelly explained how the Worlds Fair was conceived and how it was built through times of stress. He congratulated its offi- cials for accomplishing "what looked impossible."I. Rufus C. Dawes, president of the Exposition, said its purpose was to "honor our fathers andeto instruct our sons; to rejoice over the past; to appraise the present and to pre-' pare for the future. Ann Arbor To Go To Polls On Charter Vote Adoption Of Amendment Necessary In Order To Secure R. F. C. Loan Ann Arbor citizens will go to the polls tomorrow in a special election upon a charter amendment which, if passed by the required 60 per cent majority, will place the proposed sewage treatment plant upon a util- ity and self-supporting basis. The election was called by the Common Council because in the reg- ular spring voting, the people, al- though they approved building the plant with money borrowe from the R.F.C., did not favor the amend- ment to the charter. This amend- ment is necessary before the R. F. C. will loan the money, and unless the proposal is passed tomorrow the plant cannot be built, aldermen of the council say. Dependent upon the construction of the plant are a large number of welfare workers and their families. The plant is the only method of maintaining this group, according to members of the council, and unless the amendment is passed, and the money borrowed, aldermen have pre- dicted that the city will face a seri- ous crisis among its welfare workers. It is planned to borrow $550,000 from the R. F. C. With this money, the city would build a plant of 5,000,- 000 gallon capacity. The money Control Of Wages Essential To Recovery, Says Prof. Peterson "If it is true that the bottom of the depression has been passed, that part of the national industry recov- ery bill relating to the promotion of co-operation between industries will probably not contribute substantially to recovery," Prof. Shorey Peterson of the economics department said in an interview yesterday. Such restrictions on production and price-cutting as are permitted in the bill would be of greatest use dur- ing the down swing of the business cycle, since demand is postponed as long as prices may go lower, he said. This hope of further decrease in prices might have been reduced by co-operation at that time. Professor Peterson said, however, that if recovery is under way, a great deal is to be gained by making it orderly, and the control of produc- tion to remove the most distorted price relationships, and the control of wages to enable labor to share promptly in improved business con- ditions are important to an orderly recovery. Commenting briefly on the second part of the bill, which provides for the appropriation of $3,300,000,000 for an extended program of public works, he said that although it faces the usual difficulties of a measure of its kind, it will probably provide the chief boost to business, if there is to be one. In making any comments on the bill, he said, it is necessary to keep in mind that it is an emergency measure, designed to deal with ex- ceptional conditions. and that its ef- fective operation is limited to two years, and also that since it simply accords a broad blanket grant of power to the President, there is no way of telling what powers he will use even if the bill passes. It is also possible that some of the provisions may not be upheld by the courts, even on an emergency basis, he added. "Now that modification of the anti-trust laws is in prospect, but with a large measure of government supervision inevitable to such modi- fication, it begins to appear that many business people who chafed under the anti-trust restrictions are not sure they want any such change as the present to become perma- nent," Professor Peterson said. "The restriction to which business is subjected under the anti-trust laws is unquestionably slight com- pared with what would be necessary if the proposed relaxation of them were made permanent." Professor Peterson characterized the industry control bill as another3 measure whose extensive sweeping character places it in the same cate- gory with the emergency banking, farm relief, and government re- organization measures, which have conferred on the President an un- precedented degree of personal au- thority.

Hobbs, head of the geology department and a mem- ber of the University committee on military affairs, will serve as toast- master. The event is planned as a recognition of the exceptional service which these two men have rendered to the University Reserve Officers Training Corps during the years that they have been stationed here. Major Edwards has been transferred to the office of the assistant secretary of war in Washington, while Captain Custis is uncertain as to his next post. It was reported that there is a possibility he will be transferred be- fore the time of the banquet, but this is by no means certain. Heading the committee planning the banquet is Prof. Joseph R. Hay- den of the political science depart- ment. Professor Hayden is also presi- dent of the Army and Navy Club of Ann Arbor. He will be assisted by Lieut. Stanley G.

Both students and tpwnspeople are welcome, it was announced, and res- ervations may be made with Lieu- tenant Waltz at the Union. Securities Bill Is Signed By President Roosevelt WASHINGTON, -May 27.-(A,)- President Roosevelt put the protec- tive arm of the government about security investors to guard against fraudulent issues that have totaled the estimated sum of $25,000,000,000 in the last 10 years. The legislation requiring full pub- licity of new security issues to show the public all pertinent data relat- ing to the paper was signed by the President with a statement that it was aimed "to correct some of the evils which have been so glaringly revealed in the private exploitations of the public's money, Members of- the- Federal Trade commission who will administer the new act were at the White House signing and immediately set to work to prepare regulations to put the law into- effect. Motion Filed To Revoke Life Sentence Of Reed A motion for the court to set aside the first degree murder plea and life sentence of George Reed, slayer of his former wife, and an application for leave to appeal the case were filed yesterday in circuit court by Mark Howard, Detroit attorney. Howard contends that Reed was not guilty of first degree murder, that the crime was not premeditated, and that he was denied the right of counsel until just a few minutes before the arraignment. He further claims that there is grave doubt whether Reed was in full possession of his faculties at the time of the slaying. It is expected that the hearing will be set for Saturday, June 3, although Judge George W. Sample may set any date he chooses. STATE BOWS TO INDIANA EAST LANSING, May 27.-VP)- Michigan State's baseball team con- tinued in its late season slump today, losing to Indiana, 10 to 3, in a loose- ly played game. State used three pitchers in a vain effort to stop the Hoosiers. Evening Performance Unusual interest is attached to the two recitals on Monday and Tuesday evenings, May 29 and 30, in the Ly- dia Mendelssohn Theatre, of the dis- tinguished American dance-mime, Miss Angna Enters, in her famous "Compositions and Episodes in Dance Forms." Miss Enters will be accom- panied in both programns by Kenneth Yost of New York City. Miss Enters will present different numbers at each recital. Her Mon- day evening program will list 14 dances, including such light humor- ous compositionsas "Delsarte-With a Not Too Classical Nod at the Greeks" which burlesques the "atti- tudinizings" of dance "schools;"hher richly comic parody of girl athletes in "Field Day" to one of Sousa's marches; and the gay "Contra Danse" with its rich peasant flavor to music by Beethoven. "Miss Enters is Actress" Gilbert Seldes, New York critic, wrote of MissEnters' recent recital at the Guild Theatre, saying, "Angna Enters dances like an an- gel. She is a dancer, yetsshe does not always dance; she is an ac- tress, but she appears alone; she is an inspired pantominist; she is, almost incidentally, a comedian. beside whom Fannie Brice and Beatrice Lillie are mere beginners." In her recital on Monday evening, Miss Enters will also present sev- eral of the medieval dances on which her greatest fame has been built. These include- the "Moyen Age" to music by Frescobaldi; the French Gothic "Queen of Heaven" to music by Gautier de Coinci; and the suite of three dances from 16th century Spain. The Spanish dances are "Pavana," in which Miss Enters ap- pears as a sullen young fury, going through the conventional steps of a dance while her thoughts are full of murder; the "Auto Da Fe," present- ing the persecution of the Jews dur- ing the Spanish Inquisition; and the wicked little "Boy Cardinal," which is at once humorous and cynical. Drama Cast Travels While Miss Enters is dancing in Ann Arbor, the entire cast of "Springtime for Henry" will be trans- ported to Grand Rapids for a mat- inee and evening performance, May 29, at the Powers Theatre of that city. Following Miss Enters' Tuesday night recital, two final performances of "Springtime for Henry" will be presented in the Mendelssohn Thea- tre, with Violet Heming, Tom Powers, Rose Hobart, and the great English star, Robert Loraine. On Thursday, June 1, Noel Coward's "Design for Living" will open for seven perfor- mances, with Geoffrey Kerr, Violet Heming, and Tom Powers. Gail Appeals To Fraternities To Name Advisers Fraternities should appoint as soon as possible their adult financial ad- visers as specified in the new frater- nity plan recently adopted by the Interfraternity Council, according to Maxwell T. Gail, '34, secretary-treas- urer of the council. In an appeal to house presidents last night, Gail stated that it was necessary to have an adviser ap- pointed at least before the end of the semester so that the new plan may be made to apply to the present semester. "There are many problems con- nected with the administration of the new plan," Gail said, "and we have decided to ask fraternities to submit reports for the present semes- ter. Blanks for these reports will be in the hands of house presidents early next week." No threat of action was, made last night, but it is believed that the Market Rises Upon News Of Gold Measure Stocks Surge Upward As Center Reacts To Bullish Trading Influences Wheat And Cotton Show Good Gains Over 4,000,000 Shares Sold In 2nd Most Active Day On The Exchange NEW YORK, May 27.-()-Stocks surged up from $1 to more than $10 a share today, and commodities ad- vanced broadly as markets placed a bullish interpretation of the govern- ment's move to cancel the gold clause in debt contracts. The New York Stock Exchange witnessed the second most active Saturday session on record. Sales to-1 taled 4,311,340 shares, or at the rate of more than 10,000,000 shares for a full five-hour session. The only larger week-end market occurred on May 3, 1930, when 4,867,500 shares changed hands. Final prices were virtually the day's highest. Today's last quotation appeared on the tape 41 minutes after the noon closing hour. Chicago wheat was up two to two and one-half cents a bushel net after onening about three cents higher. Closing quotations on the New York Cotton Exchange represented gains of 85 cents to $1.10 a bale. Whirling upward in an opening that saw blocks of 1,000 to 25,000 shares change hands, the market billowed still higher, pausing now and then for profit-taking, but swiftly absorbing sales. Speculators in silver pushed that metal sharply higher, the spot quo- tation being 34% cents an ounce, up one-fourth cent. The May sugar de- livery on the Coffee and Sugar Ex- change sold at 1.71 cents a pound, the best price in three and a half years; sugar futures closed with mod- erate gains. Lead touched four cents a pound, highest since 1931.

Tom Powers Will Speak Today In Church Pulpit Tom Powers, star of 'the Dramatic Season, will take up a role entirely new to him when he speaks at 10:45 a. m. today at the Unitarian Church. When Mr. Powers received a re- quest by wire in New York for him to speak here, he wired back accept- ance and stated that he would use as a text "Bad Acting I Have Seen in Pulpits." Much to his surprise, he found when he arrived that he was to speak on "The Theatre as a Crea- tive Force." Mr. Powers said em- phatically last night that unless something stops him, his subject will be "Bad Acting I Have Seen in Pul- pits." GANDhI STEADILY WEAKENS POONA, Ind., May 27.-(P)-Apart from a slight return of nausea, the general condition of Mahatma Gan- dhi, on the nineteenth day of his three weeks fast against "untouch- ability," was good today, but he was increasingly weak and seriously ex- hausted. WASHINGTON', May 27.--(P)- Profits of untold millions to the house of Morgan through security flotations and syndicate operations were disclosed today in documents obtained from the innermost files of the banking house by Senate in- vestigators. They showed the Morgan firm re- ported to the investigators gross pro- fit of $18,284,908 from the sale of securities alone during the five-year period from 1927 to 1931, inclusive, in addition to untabulated millions on other operations. Bare details of stock pools or syn- dicate operations in which the Mor- gan house participated hinted at un- counted millions of additional pro- fits, but the total could only be guessedrbecause of the form in which it was reported. Committee investigators have gone back of the figures presented by Mor- gan and found additional profits which will be totalled and submitted later to the inquiry committee. The Morgan reports showed them only as shares still held. A joint account in Proctor & Gam- ble Company common stock from July 1929 to June 1930 in which Mor- gan's profits were $1,853,959 reveal- ed the size of some of the operations. A total of 186,900 shares were bought and sold for the account. The period covered by the figures included two and a half "boom" years and the same number of "de- pression" years. Testimony before the committee has shown that the 20 partners in the firm total income taxes of $11,000,000 in 1929; $4,00 in 1930, and none in 1931. But the profits revealed today were not di- vided into years. One of the most interesting docu- ments was a summary of the opera- tions of the so-called bankers pool which went into the market in 1929 shortly after the collapse. It showed the pool, listed under the name "special expense account," made a total profit of $1,067,355 of which Morgan's share was $170,776. Tung Oil Meet Is Scheduled For Wednesday 'Loquacious Lubricator' Is To Be Named; Charms Will Be Given Out The Tung Oil banquet, annual celebration of Sigma Rho Tau, Na- tional Engineering "Stump Speakers" society, will be held next Wednesday night, May 31, in the Union. Many speakers from the engineering fac- ulty will be featured, among them being Mortimer E. Cooley, dean em- eritus of the College of Engineering and donor of the Cooley cane which is the highest award given out by the society. Representatives of the Associated Technical Society of Detroit will pre- sent awards to men who have done outstanding work in the organiza- tion. A unique feature on the program will be the presentation of the Cooley cane by Dean Cooley himself. This cane has had a remarkable history. It was once one of a series of fence posts designed to keep cattle from wandering on the campus. Later when the cattle no longer menaced the college the posts were cut down and made into canes. Only two of these are in existence today, the one which Dean Cooley presented to Sigma Rho Tau and another which is willed to the society upon the death of the present owner. Also at this time keys will be awarded to men of high rank as speakers and they will be elected to full membership in Sigma Rho Tau. Ten men who have made the "stump" will be named. Aiton Says Student Government Should Control Definite Field 'Century Of Progoress' Exhibit Demonstrates Telecraphic Art, Student government can function properly only when the student gov- erning body has absolute control over the definite field of activities which is assigned to it, according to Prof. Arthur S. Aiton of the history de- partment, chairman of the Senate Committee on Student Relations. "In the sphere of activity which is clearly the direct concern of the students alone," Professor Aiton said, "faculty intrusion is undesirable and is likely to foster the belief that stu- dent government is a sham." Professor Aiton's committee has been studying the problem of stu- dent government for several months, and has been on the point of pre- senting a report to the University Council on two occasions, external to be made, the action was delayed by the refusal of all candidates for election to the Student Council at the annual all-campus election to run for office. Professor Aiton stated that print- ing of the University rules and reg- ulations would be a forward step in defining the jurisdiction of the ad- ministration and that of the student governing body. University rules should be printed and circulated among the students, Professor Aiton stated, saying that he believed such a move would be a "forward step" in student govern- ment, especially if the student gov- erning body also drew up its code of rules. A booklet of university rules is issued at the University of CHICAGO, May 27.-(Special)-A "century of progress" in man's abil- ity to communicate his thoughts by wire is shown in the exhibit of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which was opened here today by means of wire transmission of light from the far-off star, Acturus. Models show the trend of the tele- graphic art from the'earliest experi- ments of Joseph Henry in 1829 and Samuel Morse in 1835 to the modern high speed land-line and cable ap- paratus of today. Many can be operated by the visitors. A bulletin ticker was constantly printing direct from New York the is between the two machines. As the operator at "London" presses a key of the sending machine, signals pass at a speed of thousands of miles a second through the cable and arrive in "New York" within a second, be- ing printed automatically. Visiting dignitaries and patrons will be treated from time to time to a demonstration rarely seen by the public, The cable instrument will be "cut in" or connected with actual cables direct from Chicago to Europe, and messages will be ex- changed instantaneously back and forth across the ocean. The cable receiving operator at the
