Sir Launcelot, In
1932 Dress, Rides
Nag For Publicity
There's one born every minute, and
two to tape him.
Just whether Lawrence Levy, '34,
who rode a horse for Play Production
yesterday as a publicity stunt, was
the sucker or the come-on man is
hard to tell.
Levy, wearing an orange wig, black
fedora, House of David beard, and
tattered trousers, sat on his nag in
the exact middle of the campus from
11 a. m. to 1 p. m., exhorting students
to witness the real "Beggar on Horse-
back," which is Play Production's
next offering.
The rider got away with his act
well enough, but seemed to turn'
rather green about the gills when-
ever the horse reared in pain. (From
hunger).

For Aetion On
Beer Question
Democratic Proposals To
Face First Battle In
House Committee
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-)P -- The
Democratic prohibition repeal pro-
posal faces its first test tomorrow!
in the House judiciary committee
with a battle threatened over sub-
mitting the new amendment to rati-
fication by conventions or by state
legislatures.
As wet and dry leaders lined up
their forces for a vote on the propo-
sition in the House Monday, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic'
floor leader, promised quick action on
both repeal and beer measures if and
when they reach the Senate after
House action.
4puseMay Vote Twic~e
Party leaders conceded that if the
form of the repeal resolution spon-
sored by Speaker Garner stipulat-
ing convention ratification is revised
by the judiciary committee a situa-
tion might arise whereby the House
would have an opportunity to vote
on the original measure as well as
on the amended legislation.
With reports of additional support
from both Republicans and Demo-
crats, however, the Vice-President-
elect appeared more determined to
force the Democratic proposal to a!
vote. "Our prospectsare good," he
said.
Back from a conference with Pres-
ident-elect R oosevelt at Warm
Springs, Ga., Senator Robinson said
he thought some question would be
raised as to the form of the Garner
resolution because of the provision
in the Democratic platform for pro-
tection to dry states.
Foresees Limitations.
"I think," the Arkansan said, "some
question is going to be raised in the
Senate for some limitations on the
Garner resolution."
Shortly afterward, Senator Robin-
son (Rep., Ind~) took an unaltered
stand against changing the Federal
liquor laws but predicted that beer
would be legalized at the short ses-
sion. He said he was anxious to de-
lay action on repeal and beer legis-
lation until the Democrats come into
control of Congress.
A call to the House Republican
wet bloc to meet Monday morning
to consider the Garner resolution was
issued by its chairman, Rep. Beck
(Rep., Pa.,) who said he was "con-
fident" the group will support it "un-
less some better resolution is pro-
posed."
Date Of Trial
For Negro Will
Be Set Ahead,
Attorney Asks For Delay
As Legal Privilege To
Prepare His Defense
Circuit Judge George W. Sample
yesterday granted Carry Hunt Baylis,
Ypsilanti negro charged with com-
plicity in the murder Nov. 26 of Cap
Deatherage, continuance of the case
that was slated for trial at 9 a. m.
yesterday. The motion was granted
on plea of Louis Burke, attorney for
Baylis.
With Thomas Britton, also a negro,
Wednesday sentenced to life impris-
onment for his confessed murder of
the Ypsilanti war veteran who was
found, brutally slashed and beaten,
dying in a vacant lot in that city
by a passerby, Attorney Burke based.
his motion on the fact that jurymen
selected to try Baylis had sat through
the examination of Britton, and on
Baylis' legal right to a 10-day period
between arraignment and trial to
prepare his defense.
Judge Sample set Saturday morn-
ing for the time at which the date
for the trial will be set.
County officers were baffled in at-
tempting to find an adequate motive
for the slaying of Deatherage. Ac-
cording to Britton, he and Baylis,
in company with several others, had
participated in a drinking party at
their rooming house on the night of
Nov. 25.
Britton testified that Baylis had
ordered him to follow Deatherage
when he left thendance hall where
the two roomed and murder him for
the $30 he was known to be carrying.
Britton said Deatherage had spoken
abusively to him on a previous oc-
casion.
The confessed murderer, small,
wizened, and poorly dressed, seemed
oblivious to the gravity of the charge
placed against him, and at no time
exhibited any emotion.

Capitol Hill Continues As
Adamant As Originally;
Paris Forms Note
(By Associated Press)
The British government yesterday
again entreated the United States
for a moratorium on war debts due
Dec. 15, asserting in a note handed
to Secretary Stimson by Ambassador
Lindsay that payment would deepen
the depression.
Calls At Stimsons Home
Sir Roland Lindsay went to the
suburban home of Secretary Stimson
with the note which fortified with
elaborate facts Great Britain's con-
tention that it was unable to pay
without serious harm to its financial
structure.
The note added that if payments
are resumed and no provision made
for a general re-examination of the
whole debt subject, the British gov-
ernment would be forced to restrict
importation of American goods.
Secretary Stimson immediately
took the 6,000-word documentto the
White House, where he and Secre-
tary Mills conferred at length with
President Hoover. No announcement
was made there, however,
Opposition Firm
Sharp comment from Capitol Hill
gave no indication that the stern op-
position among the nation's legisla-
tors to either another moratorium or
reconstruction of the whole suestion
had been weakened by the British
note.
Senator Watson, the Republican
leader, and Senator Robinson tae
De Morat le rerted their
belief that Congress would, not
change its position.
In Paris, meanwhile, another note
was prepared and will probably be
handed to Secretary Stimson today
by Ambassador Claudel.
Expect French Request
For Moratorium Today1
PARIS, Dec. 1.-(P)-Premier Her--
riot sent the new French request for
postponement of the $20,000,000 in-
terest payment due the United States
Dec. 15 to Ambassador Paul Claudel
in Washington tonight.
The document probably will be de-
livered to Secretary Stimson tomor-
row morning. It is a short summary
of the French position containing
about a half-dozen pages.
The fresh note was approved and
officially polished at a cabinet meet-
ing today over which President Al-
bert LeBrun presided.
Hospital Aides
Add $2,167 Gift
To Fund Total
The Community Fund rose slowly
to a total of $43,318 yesterday after-
noon, latest reports show.
The contributions chiefly respon-
sible for today's figures came from
employes at the University Hospital
who pledged $2,167. It is expected
that the workers there will bring that
amount up to $2,500 before the cam-
paign is concluded.
Donations of $100 or more came in
slowly, but Edith Owen, executive,
director of the Community Fund,
said that she expected $4,000 or $5,-
000 more in the big gift division
would be turned in.
Although the fund staff was hope-
ful of reaching the goal of $62,938
before Saturday, there is little indi-
cation that the total would be re-
ceived by that time. However, Miss
Owen stated that the campaign
would continue until the set amount.

Gargoyle Sales Fool.
Its Own Management
The Gargoyle boys are at it
again.
Last week, Editor Edward S. Mc-
Kay and his staff got together
and put out the December issue of
the campus funny magazine.
They met with remarkable success,
and Gargoyle went on sale yester-
day morning.
The sale, to the astonishment of
everybody concerned, went over in
a big way. The total receipts last
night were the highest Gargoyle
has recorded in one day for the
last year and a half.
Now Editor McKay is sitting
around with a worried look in his
eye, trying to find out what makes
the present issue so popular. The
staff polled a few purchasers, who
declared the magazine was dirtier
and funnier than before, but Mc-
Kay isn't convinced.
Maybe the depression is over.
Sphinx, honorary junior literary
society, yesterday initiated nine new
men into the organization. The in-
itiation was followed by a banquet at
7 p. m. at the Union, addressed by
Professors Waldo Abbott and Lewis

The initiates are: Avon Artz,

boasted several All-American stars,

Although no official comment was
made, Southern California athletic
authorities had let it be known after
the selection of their team to defend
the Far West's laurels was certain
that Michigan, undefeated champion
of the Big Ten, would be invited if
the Western Conference rule against
post-season contests could be lifted.
Decision Not A Surprise
Here, Athletic Heads Say
Southern California's action did
not come as a complete surprise to
Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of
the Board in Control of Athletics,
as he had expected a definite deci-
sion from the West Coast since last
Tuesday he said last night.
The officials' request for a poll of
the faculty members of the Big Ten
was based upon the necessity of mak-
ing a definite choice Nov. 29. It came
as a surprise to him when that an-
nouncement was delayed one day,
he stated.
The formal invitation to Pittsburgh
was based upon an unfavorable poll
although Professor Aigler said that
he did not know the exact details of
the vote.
Fielding H. Yost, director of, In-
tercollegiate Athletics, is quoted as
saying that, in his telephone conver-
sation to the West Coast yesterday
afternoon, he refused to guarantee
that the Big Ten would change the
rule.
If Coach Yost had promised that
Michigan could play, Southern Cali-
fornia might have seen its way to
postpone the definite decision to Sat-
urday, but as the question remained
in doubt U. S. C. did not feel it could
delay the decision longer, it is be-
lieved.

American gold is as good as gold in
Canada but American paper cash is
much better.
A citizen of the United States, vis-
iting a bank here, learned to his sor-
row he would have been wiser to fill
his pockets with bills before leaving
home instead of loading them down
with gold pieces. It would have saved
him a lot of money.
He walked into the bank and laid
on the counter some American bank-
notes, some silver dollars and some
more to us than Canadian gold pieces
of the same face value. We will give
$5 in Canadian bills for a $5 Cana-
dian gold piece, and we can give no
more for an American gold piece
of the same amount."
"But I thought you were paying
a premium on gold?"
"On raw gold from the mines," re-
plied the banker.
"And by the way," added the
banker, "you will have to leave the
gold here now, because it is illegal to
take gold out of Canada without a
