S. ROOSEVELT WITH THE AMERICAN DELEGA- TION TO THE LONDON ECONOMIC CONFERENCE, June 2.-(A)-With whitecaps flashing against the port- holes and the ship rolling heavily, American delegates to the world economic conference assembled to- night in Secretary of State Hull's flower-filled cabin for their first meeting of the trip and decided to split up the various topics on the program of the parley. Secretary Hull said afterwards that Sen. IKey Pittman of Nevada, a member of the delegation, was the most suitable person to study silver and kindred monetary questions. Other assignments are not yet defi- nite, but the secretary of state is ex- pected to concentrate upon means for moderating tariff rates. The first thing the nations need to do, Mr. Hull said, is to survey the conditions ,of economic extremism which have choked international trade for the normal levy of $50,- 000,000,000 annually to less than $12,000,000,000 and to decide whether to continue the practice with its demonstrated disastrous results. InterfruternityI CPoU n cl Is To Find Roomers Fraternity houses that are plan- ing to stay open during the Sum- mer Session and Which desire to have roomers should get in touch with the Interfraternity Council; it was announced last night by Max- well T. Gail, ',secretary-treasurer of the council. Men who desire such accommodations should also see the council, Gail said, since the council will attempt to serve as a clearing huose for this information. Fraternities that have vacant jobs on their staffs have been asked to communicate with the council office also, submitting the names of those members of their fraternity which desire jobs at other houses. This should be done next week or early in the fall, Gail said. Bethel B. Kelley, '34, president of the council, has issued an appeal to all houses to co-operate with the activities of the council in putting out the council handbook. "It is ab- solutely necessary that we have com- plete information from each house if we are going to have the hand- book ready for next year," Kelley said. - Senior Architects Receive Awards The faculty of the College of Ar- chitecture yesterday announced the annual awards to Senior students in the College. The Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, for best scholarship throughout the four-year course, the highest award to be made, was given to William Elbert Brown of Dallas, Texas. Harry R. Allen, Jr., of Salt Lake City received the medal of Alpha Rho Chi, national architectural fra- ternity. For high scholarship the book awards of the American Institute of Architects were presented to Paul V. Thebaud of Grand Rapids and Max Leider, of New York City.

Dobbs Elected Successor To Dr.Hibben Noted Political Scientist Becomes President Of Princeton University PRINCETON, N. J., June 2.-(2 )- Prof. Harold Willis Dodds, political expert and counsellor to nations, to- day was chosen by the Princeton University Board of Trustees as pres- ident to succeed John Grier Hibben, who died in retirement. Only 44 years old, Professor Dodds appears some years younger despite a life of crowded activity since he graduated from Grove City College in Pennsylvania in 1909. Professor Dodds will take over the administrative chair from Edward D. Duffield, who has been acting president since Dr. Hiben retired a year ago. At the same time announcement was made of the selection of Luther P. Eisenhart as dean of the Grad- uate School and Robert Kilburn Root as dean of the faculty. The selection of Professor Dodds is a departure from the practice of choosing theologians or philosophers since the foundation of the univer- sity. Committee To Push Search Into Lobbying State Police Will Aid In Investigating Charges ; Smith And Jarvis Called LANSING, June 2.-(P)-State po- lice and the attorney-general's de- partment were enlisted by the House committee investigating lobbying to- day as members promised to resume the inquiry vigorously next week. Rep. Lawrence O'Neill (Dem., Pa- ris), chairman of the committee, said co-operation had been promised by both the enforcing and legal branches of government. He said State police would serve a subpoena on John W. Smith, Detroit councilman, to bring him here next Tuesday to explain why he called this a "cash and carry" legislature. He intimated they. alsp might be used to assist in checking details of alleged parties in Chicago and Lansing. From the Senate came a demand that Rep. H. H. Jarvis (Dem., Ben- ton Harbor), who promised to name members of the Legislature who ac- cepted money, be forced to amplify his charges at once. English Actor Added To Cast Of Dumas Play Robert Loraine Will Take Part Of Armand In 'Lady Of The Camelias' Addition to cast of Dumas' "The Lady of the Camelias" of Robert Loraine, distinguished English star, in the role of M. Duval, father to Armand, was announced yesterday by Robert Henderson, director of the Dramatip Season. In addition to Miss Jane Cowl in the title role of Marguerite Gautier, this will make the cast of "The Lady of the Came- has" include Rollo Peters, Mr. Lo- raine, Tom Powers and Lewis Martin in starring roles. Robert Loraine took prt-in - thei second production of the Dramatic Season, "Springtime for Henry," in which he played the comedy role of Mr. Jelliwell. In "The Lady of the Camelias," he will have a highly dramatic part as M. Duval, culmin- ating in the "letter" scene in the third act in which Duval forces Mar- guerite to give up his son, Armand. Rollo Peters is cast as Armand, lover of Marguerite, in "The Lady of the Camelias," while Tom Powers plays the villainous Baron de Var- veille; Lewis Martin is cast as Gas- ton; and Katherine Wick Kelly makes her second appearance of the season as Olympe. Other members of the cast include Robert Henderson as Gustave, opposite Peggy Hoven- den as Nichette. Gwen Delaney, who had the role of Grace Hallam in "Another Language," will play Marguerite's maid, Nanette; and Francis Compton will appear as the senile St. Claire. The production of "The Lady of the Camelias" will be the most elab- orate Robert Hendierson has ever presented in Ann Arbor, he said. Twenty seven different spot-lights are being installed to light the pro- duction, including a special Rein- hardt system of lighting which Miss Cowl's special technical director, Mr. Arthur Edette, has brought with him to Ann Arbor. Noel Coward's "Design for Living," starring Violet Heming, Geoffrey Kerr and Tom Powers, is now being given. The production will play a matinee and evening performance today, as well as Monday and Tues- day night. The management an- nounces, however, 'that seats are still available in all sections of the house for the production. Seek To Definitely Mark Out Spheres Results Of Body's Action May Be Put Into Next Year's 'Frosh Bible' Plans for a codification of all rules which students are subject to, in- cluding both the University regula- tions and those to be laid down by the newly elected Undergraduate Council on Student Affairs, are being made by members of the Council, ac- cording to- Gilbert E. Bursley, '34, president. ,University authorities are codify-l ing University rules at the present time, and the Council will probably meet to draw up its own rules some time during the examination period, Bursley said. The haste is necessary because it would be desirable to in- clude both sets of rules in the "Frosh Bible" for next year, he explained. "It is the purpose of the Council," he said, "to mark out definitely the sphere of activity of the Council in relation to the University adminis- tration, and it is to this end that the new codification will be made." The powers of the new body have been separated into the constructive and disciplinary fields by Bursley, who stated that the disciplinary functions would be performed, in ac- cordance with the constitution, by a committee composed of the president and four male members to be elected by the Council. The judiciary com- mittee, as it will be called, has not yet been chosen. Arrangements have been made to print the minutes of all Council meetings in The Daily, it was an- nounced last night. More tha- 100 otlthe new constitution will be mimeographed for distribution to students who are particularly interested, Bursley said, while there will be an attempt made to make a copy available to every student next fall.- Garner Checks Revolt Against Economy Bill 40th Summer Session Plans Draw Interest All Departments Except Law School Will Open Monday, June 29 'Splendid Interest' ReportedBy Kraus Excursions, Lectures, Con- certs, And Plays To Be Special Features With advance inquiries indicating a "splendid interest," final arrange- ments were being made this week for the 40th annual Summer Session, which will offer as well-balanced a program of activities as has ever been planned, according to Dean Edward H. Kraus. After a slump in response during and immediately following the bank- ing holiday, Dean Kraus said, in- quiries picked up, and during the month of May they have been about as numerous as they were during the same period last year. The 1933 Summer Session will open Monday, June 29, in all branches of the University except the Law School, where the first term is to begin Tuesday, June 20, and the Field Station for Geology and Geography, which will also begin work on June 20. Registration Begins June 22. In general, registration will take place June 22, 23, 24, and 26, al- though in some schools it will not begin until June 23 and in the Graduate School it begins June 21. Law School registration will be held June 16, 17, and 19. Hours and rooms for registration are to be found in detail in the Daily Official Bulletin. The session in the majority of the, schools and colleges will cover a pe- riod of eight weeks, closing Friday, Aug. 18. In the Law School the second ter will begin July 26 and. An instructional staff of more than 400 members, including 40 prominent educators from other in- stitutions in this country and abroad, will conduct the 700 courses to be offered this year. All Facilities Available All facilities of the University are available, and all work is not only an integral part of the University, according to Dean Kraus, but is equivalent in method, character, and1 credit value to similar work offered during the regular term. Eleven excursions, 26 lectures, seven concerts, and nine plays will be offered as part of a broad pro- gram of special features accompany- ing the academic program for the session, the complete program for which is listed in the announcement. Trips to Detroit, the Ford plant, Niagara Falls and vicinity, the Gen- eral Motors Proving Ground at Mil- ford, Ford's Greenfield Village and' Airport, the Cranbrook Schools at Bloomfield Hills, Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie, and the new Michigan State Prison at Jackson will be included on the schedule of summer excur- sions this year. Gould On Summer Faculty Prof. Laurence M. Gould, well- known geologist and explorer who will return to the faculty here for the summer, will conduct the excur- sions to Niagara Falls and Put-in- Bay. The others will be in charge of Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the jour- nalism department. Thomas W. Stevens, founder of the Carnegie Drama School and now director of the Artist Guild Theatre in St. Louis, will be visiting director of the Michigan Repertory Players, a dramatic group which carries on the Play Production work during the Summer Session. The Summer Dramatic Season will open Friday, June 23, and a play will be given every night through July 1 with the exception of Sunday. After the first week, plays will be given each Wednesday through Sat- urday during the eight weeks of the session. Timely Lectures Scheduled Authorities in many fields of en- deavor, drawn from both the resi- dent and visiting faculties, will ap- pear in a series of lectures after- noons at 5 p. m. on timely political, scientific, and educational topics. In addition to the instruction given in Ann Arbor, specialized (Continued on Page 6) Vice-President's Vote Cided Fate Of Act ting Veterans' Pay De- Cut- sons were injured when a transport plane crashed at Municipal airport this afternoon. Reed suffered scalp injuries and possibly a back injury. He was rushed to a hospital. Physicians said that he apparently was not hurt danger- ously. W. E. Gregory, of Tulsa, received scalp cuts, and R. F. Lee, pilot of the plane, cuts about the face and hands. The accident occurred as the ship was taking off for Dallas. At an alti- tude of about 15 feet, airport at- tendants said, the motor quit with the plane headed toward a hangar. Lee succeeded in clearing the hangar, but the plane's undercarriage was wrecked, NewtComined -tom *a*1-p B y University Degrees In Letters, Law, And Business Will Be Given In 7-Year Plan Due to the increase in the magni- tude and complexity of business op- erations and their close relationship with the law profession, the Univer- sity is now offering a combined pro- gram in Letters, Business, and Law. The course leads to degrees from each of the three schools and short- ens the time required to earn the degrees separately from nine years to seven years and two summer ses- sions, which can be completed in seven calendar years. "The advantage of the plan is that it provides a balanced and co-ordi- nated program in the two closely- related fields and further that it en- ables the student to complete such a course with a substantial saving of time over that required for the three degrees earned separately," Dean C. E. Griffin of the School of Business Administration said. The requirements for admission to the School of Business Administra- tion on the above plan are the same as those for the ordinary Letters and Business combination, that is, the student must have at least 90 hours with one and one-half honor points per hour to his credit. The 90 hours must include at least 12 hours of economics, of which courses 51 and 52 and 171 and 172 are re- quired. After the completion of three years' work in the literary college, the work of the School of Business Administration is started in the fol- lowing Summer Session and com- pleted in the fourth and sixth years of the course. The student is enrolled in the Law School at the beginning of the fifth year of the course. Another Summer Session follows between this year and the sixth. During this Summer Session, the student completes one- third of a year of law, and in the sixth year he is enrolled in both the School of Business Administration and the Law School. With the com- pletion of this year, the degree of M. B. A. will be conferred and the student will also have third-year standing in the Law School, At the LONG BEACH, Calif., June 2.--P) -At least 11 persons were killed and 18 injured near here today, officers said, in a terrific oil refinery explo- sion which was felt for 30 miles and started fires later brought under con- trol. The blast broke windows two miles away in the downtown section of Long Beach, and created intense ex- citement throughout the city, which was struck by an earthquake last March. Flames in great sheets shot high into the air, and before fire appa- ratus could reach the scene a crowd of some 15,000 persons blocked the streets. The apparatus was delayed by the crush. The refinery is located at Twenty- seventh and Lime Streets. The first identified dead was Thomas Collins, an employee of the refinery. Woman and Child Perish It was reported Ithat among those who perished were a woman and a baby. It was the greatest diater that ever swept therfamous Signal Hill District, one of the big oil pro- ducing fields of Southern Calfornia, located on the northeast border of Long Beach. Vast clouds of black smoke belched from the laming structures, the havoc appearing to have spread over several acres of the plant. Half an hour after the blast the flames were raging beyond all control. Signal Hill fairly bristles with oil derricks, which are in such' close proximity that at a distance the field has the appearance of a forest of dead trees. The eminence overlooks Long Beach and the nearby coastal territory. Terrified residents rushed from homes in all iarts of the city when the blast shattered windows. The compression plant, with 10 compressors and eight 1,000-barrel tanks were burning fiercely at 2:30 p. m. Million Dollar Loss The damage to the plant was esti- mated by workmen at over a million dollars. Derrick houses on practically all wooden rigs in the Signal Hill sec- tion were demolished and many wells damaged. All available fire apparatus was rushed to the scene, but the flames were so hot that firemen could not get near the center of the' blast. Witnesses said that houses were crumpled worse than in the recent earthquakes. Sides of buildings caved in and furniture was blown into the streets. Germany May Repudiate Al Foreign Debts BERLIN, June 2.-(P)-President Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, addressing the final session of a five- day conference of Germany's foreign creditor bankers, made a statement today interpreted by everyone pres- ent as meaning that Germany next week will declare a moratorium on all her external debts. After reading a communique issued by all the delegates, he said: "This puts the decision for further action straight up to the Reichsbank. Our decision, which is irrevocableis that we will not permit further shrinkage of our gold and devisen (bills of foreign exchange)." Vyn Names Five To 'Ensian Staff WASHINGTON, June 2.-(P)-By the margin of a vice-presidential vote, administration leaders checked. a revolt in the Senate today against the economy act, but not until an amendment had been inserted in the independent offices appropriation bill adding $170,000,000 to ease the con- templated reductions in veterans' allowances. By the single vote cast by Vice- President Garner to break a tie, a compromise amendment by Senator Connally (Dem., Tex.) was adopted to limit to 25 per cent reductions in World War service connected dis- ability compensations and pensions of veterans of the Spanish-American War. The vote was 43 to 42. Senator Byrnes (Dem., S. C.) then inserted a $170,000,000 appropriation to take care of the heavier expendi- tures and the independent offices bill was passed without a record vote.
