Copies of this plan in full may be ob-

dir'ctor of the University Broadcasting
Station.
Federal guaranty of. bank deposits
was advanced as "the only remedy"
for the present situation, and "piece-
meal" emergency financial measures
were flayed, in a recommendation
drawn up by five University econom-
ists, forwarded tohWashington,and
delivered last night by Prof. I. L.
Sharfman from the University broad-
casting station.
The committee which framed the
proposal consisted of Professors
Sharfm~an and Leonard L. Watkins
of the economics department, and
Dean C. E. Griffin and Professors R.
G. Rodkey and W. A.-Paton of the
School of Business Administration.
Steps recently discussed at Lans-
ing, designed to permit reopening of
Michigan banks and guard against
too rapid withdrawal of funds, by
segregating the assets of all banks
into "liquid" and "non-liquid" groups
and issuing transferable certificates
for the frozen assets, were regarded
in the proposal of the committee as

A meeting last night between rep-
resentativs of the Manufacturers'
association and local bankers failed
to produce any solution to the prob-
lem of obtaining cash to meet pay-
rolls.:
T h e Manufacturers' association
claimed that the governor's procla-
mation exempted payrolls from the
holiday restrictions but C. J. Walz,
president of the Ann Arbor Clearing
house association said that the doc-
ument specifically banned any pre-
ference being made in the release
of cash. A new proclamation by Ru-
dolph E. Reichert, state banking com-
missioner, releasing the payroll sums
is expected soon, it was said.
Breech Widened
The rift between local merchants
and bankers arising out of the bank
moratoriumf appeared measurably
widened yesterday as local business
men presented a protest to Governor
Comstock' at Lansing on the man-
ner in whilch banks of the Ann Arbor
area are landlng the situation. At
the same time rumors of an impend-
ing food shortage circulated in the
city and wvee denid by leading mer-
chants.
A. J. Wiltse and Hora'ce Prettyman,
Ann Arb1or buliness men, presented
the protest to Governor Comstock in
the name. .of 7 merchants of this
area. They asked that the governor
use his dictatorial powers to force
the local banks to release more cash
to b mes oncerns ior payments to
; declared that if
the present restrictions were con-
tinued they would be forced to close,
precipitating a food shortage. "We
do not want to loot the banks,"
Prettyman said, 'but we must meet
our payrolls,.
"Responsibility is Yours"
"We know," they told the gover-
nor, "that you can open up the banks
for more legitimate business. You
cannot throw off the responsibility
now. If the people don't stand by
you, they are traitors to their state.
We must do something to let business
go on."
Reports circulated among business
men to the effect that a shortage
bf food in the city threatened
brought a denial from Frank Liver-
nois, president of the Retail Gocers
and Meat Dealers' association. Ie
explained that the merchants' de-
mands for cash were due to difficul-
ties faced by a few in the payment
of their bills and not "to any general
immediate emergency. He said that
an abundance of fresh vegetables
was available,
Welfare Crisis Averted
The threatened crisis in the wel-
fare fund distribution was averted
when the bas agreed to release suf-
ficent cash to meet all indigent re-
quirements, The governor's second
proclamation exempted these funds
from the limitation regulations. The
sum released amounts to approxi-
mately $12,000 and will provide $20
in each for the 000 families on the
welfare.
DETROIT, Feb. 26.-W- Michi-
gan's bankers, eager for legislation
which would lift, at least in part,
continued limitations on banking
business, tonight saw in passage of
the Couzens bill in Washington the
first definite step toward loosening
'the state's financial jam.
The bill; signed by the President
late today, would give the uomptrol-
er of the currency the same emer-
gency power over national banks as
may be enacted by state legislature.
In Michigan, legislation, is now pend-
ing to enable the segregation of
frozen assets in banks, and to make
available to depositors funds up to
the percentage of liquid assets. The
passage of national legislation, bank-
ers believe, has assured similar ac-
tion by the state legislature next
week. This, they say, would bring
about an immediate reopening for
larger withdrawals of most of the
state's institutions

Doctors StillHope
For Mayor Cermak
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 26.-(Al)- Dr.
J. W. Snyder said at 8 p. m. last
night.
"All present indications are that
Mayor Cermak will live through the
night.
"There probably will not be an-
other glucose injection.
"We probably will allow the patient
to rest."
Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago
rallied today after a blood transfu-
sion and at 5:15 p. in, his physicians
said he had maintained the gain
made as a result of the treatment.
He was sleeping at that hour and
his daughters, who have kept ananx-
ious vigil at his hospital room door,
went to their Miami Beach home,
cheered by news that their father's
condition had improved.
Cermak was in an oxygen tent,
a treatmentdecided on this morning.
He took nourishment-the first by
mouth in 24 hours-late today and
his physicians issued this bulletin:
"His temperature is 9.9:4; pulse
128; respiration 26." '
Dr. Frederick Tice, of Chicago, one
of the attending physicians, said af-
ter the transfusion: "I have never
been completely downcast, but I am
more encouraged now."
However, another transfusion is
contemplated, probably tomorrow.
Dr. Tice and Dr. Karl Meyer said
soon after the transfusion that their
patient's condition is "more promis-
ing now."

Reply To League's Cable
Expresses Hope That
End Of Conflict Is Near
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-(P)-The
Hoover and Roosevelt administrations
united tonight to tell the world that
America is in "general accord" with
the action of the League of Nations
in passing judgment against Japan's
military policy in Manchuria and
recommending peaceful means of set-
tlement.
Out of a conference between Henry
L. Stimson and Cordell Hull, outgo-
ing and incoming secretaries of state,
there emerged a carefully worded
note of endorsement dispatched
forthwith to Geneva where the
League's momentous action yester-
day led Japan to withdraw from its
assembly.
The American cablegram was in
reply to a communication for the
secretary-general of the League of
Nations, Sir Eric Drummond, of
Great Britain, addressed to non-
members of the League who are sig-
natories of the Paris Peace Pact or
the Nine-Power Treaty relating to
the Orient.
The League cablegram to which
the American and Russian replies
were eagerly awaited expressed the
hope "that they will associate them-
selves with the views expressed inthe
report and that they will if nee-
sary concert their action and their
attitude with the members of the
League."
In expressing the general accord of
this nation, the .Anicrigal replycX
presed. the hope that world opinion
as expressed through the League
would bring to an end the long and
bloody conflict that has raged inter-
mittently in the Far East since mid-
night of Sept. 18, 1981, when Jap-
anese troops captured the city of
Mukden in Manchuria.
"The American government earn-
estly hopes," says the note, "that the
two nations now engaged in contro-
versy, both of which have long been
in friendly relationship with our and
other peoples, may find it possible, in
the light of now clear expression of
world opinion, to conform their poli-
cies to the need and the desire of
the family of nations that disputes
between nations shall be settled by
none but pacific means."
For two and a half hours, before
the reply was sent, the tall, quiet
Tennessee Senator who will handle
America's foreign affairs under
Franklin D. Roosevelt, talked it over
with Secretary Henry L. Stimson at
the state department.

"Henry Ford and James Couzens
--Two Detroit Gentlemen" will be
the topic of the sermon to be given
by the Rev. H. P. Marley at 10:45
a. m. today at the Unitarian Church.
The object of the sermon, accord-
ing to Mr. Marley, is to use the two
men as symbols of practical idealists
in industry and practical idealists in
government. "The present trend,"
says Mr. Marley, "is toward closer
co-operation in government andI
business." He will also present anal-
alysis of Henry Ford and his acvf.i-
ties both in the factory and in the
field of social reform.
Prof. Margaret Elliott to Speak
At the regular meeting of the Lib-
eral Students Union at the church in

A series of eight weekly lectures
on marital relations and home-mak-
ing, subjects which have been class-
room taboos from time immemorial,
will be offered by the Student Chris-
tian Association, it was announced
yesterday by Sherwood Messner, '34,
a committee chairman of that or-
ganization. The course will be de-
signed especially for serious-minded
students, either married or unmar-
ried, who have an interest in the sub-
jects to be considered,
Dr. Frank D. Slutz, of Dayton, 0.,
will open the somewhat iconoclastic
series at 8 p. m. March 1 in the Up-
per Room of Lane Hall, with 'The
Problems of Modern Marriage." Dr.
Slutz's lecture will serve as an intro-
duction to the physiological and cul-
of being together," Messner added.
"It is an attempt to help young peo-
ple in their psychological and physi-
ological difficulties. We intend to
make a distinct effort to discuss at
necessary length subjects now con-
sidered unfit for the classroom."
Messner voiced the hope that suc-
cess of the project would force in-
elusion of a sex education course in
the sociology department.
"For some time," Messner declared,
"students of the University have felt
the need for sex instruction. A com-
mittee appointed by the Student
Christian Association has put forth
evcry effort to secure speakers who
are authorities in this field, and we
feel sure that the course will be of
I utmost value to married as well as
unmarried students. Realizing that

' Hedda Gabler' To H1ave
Last Showing Tomorrow
"We are delighted with the recep-
tion which has been given our pro-
duction of 'Hedda Gabler,'" Valen-
tine B. Windt, director of Play Pro-
duction, said yesterday. "We are es-
pccially pleased because we did not
expect this play to be popular, both
because of its serious nature and of
the bank holiday."
The last presentation of the play
will be tomorrow night in the Labo-
ratory Theatre. There will be none
today.
Very good sales for all of the per-
formances for last week were record-
ed, Mr. Windt said.
,'Because there is not a strong emo-
tional appeal in this play, becausc
Hedda is not a very attractive char-
acter and because the plot is some-
what sinister," Mr. Windt continued,
"We had a feeling that the show
might not be well received. But many
expressions of personal appreciation
have come in to us which have been
extremely gratifying, as this is un-
doubtedly the hardest play that we
have ever attempted to put on here."
