Despite hard at- tacking, only nine penalties were called. Sherf scored Michigan's lone goal after 16 minutes of play in the third period. That tied the score, Munns having made good a pass from Gray after 14 minutes of play in the sec- ond period. Jewell, Michigan goalie, put in a slightly harder night thah Clausen, the Minnesota goal marker. Jewell made 36 stops to Clausen's 30. Zieske's winning goal came after 6%r minutes of play in the second overtime period, just when it seem- ed the game would end in a 1-1 tie. The teams play .again tomorrow.

Plan To Start Collection Of Soph Dues Next Week Collection of sophomore dues in the literary college will begin next week, John C. Healey, '35, class treasurer, announcedi yesterday. A -new plan is being tried this year in reducing the dues to 50 cents for a. limited time, after which they will again be $1,. he said. After examinations desks will be placed in the main lobby of Angell Hall at specified times where dues may be paid, and a finance commit- tee will be appointed to collect them. Joseph P. Lackey, '35, president of the class, said that all committees will be appointed within the next few days before examinations. County Expenses Rise To $11,000 In December Records compiled in the office of County Clerk Harry H. Atwell show that operating expenses of Wash- tenaw county for the month of De- cember totaled $11,210.35. This compares with $9,987.51 spent during November, but it is explained that the final month of the year always sees the submittal of nu- merous bills incurred only as the year closes. Insurance premiums must be met in December, it was said. LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL WINS BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Jan. 20.- (Special)-The Ann Arbor High School basketball team stretched its winning streak to six basketball games here tonight by overcoming a six point advantage at the half, to win, 23 to 22. Fund Passes $2,000 With Fraternity Gifts The Good Will fund passed the $2,000 mark last night as in- complete reports of contributions from fraternities were announced by James Inglis, '33, director of solicitation among the organiza- tions. No definite figures will be avail- able until this afternoon, but In- glis declared last night that money already collected or pled- ed by the fraternities would place the fund total above $2,000. Final reports for all divisions of the drive are expected to be filed with directors of the Good Will fund at a meeting of team captains this afternoon. China Warned Against Results Of Jehol Raid Uchida Pleads 'Fairness And Justice' Of Stand On Manchuokuo Issue WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-P)--The Japanese minister of foreign affairs, Count Uchida, tonight issued a warn- ing to "the government and people of China against unfortunate eventuali- ties that nmay arise" from what he described as an invasion of Jehol province by Chinese troops and "a positive anti-Japanese movement." The minister spoke in the Japanese diet, and the text of his remarks was made public by the embassy here. "I am convinced that in view of the auspicious growth of Manchou kuo and the universal advantage thereby accruing to all peoples of the world," he said, "the League of Na- tions and governments of the powers will eventually recognize the fairness and justice of the position we have taken with regard to Manchuokuo. "Nor have I any doubt that in the end the Chinese themselves will be brought to regard the mutual aid and co-operation between Japan, China, and Manchuokuo, each as an independent state, to be the best means of insuring peace in the Orient. "I may add at this point a few words with reference to Jehol. Par- ticularly in the light of the circum- stances leading to the establishment of Manchuokuo, it is evident that the province of Jehol constitutes an in- tegral part of the new state. "However, maneuvers for creating disturbances in that province have of late been notoriously rife and some contingents of regular troops under Chang Hsueh-Liang have crossed the border into the province. "While the so-called Jehol ques- tion is a purely domestic affair for Manchuokuo, Japan is of course bound by recent protocols to join forces with that country in the task of maintaining peace and order throughout its territory. The ques- tion, therefore, in view of this treaty obligation, is a matter of serious con- cern to the government of Japan. "As for China, political' confusion in that country continues as ever, while the anti-Japanese movement shows no signs of abatement. Will Make Last Drive To Gain City Fund Goal Malcolm Hopes To Raise At Least $5,000 To Add To Present $50,000 A final drive to bring the Com- munity fund up to the $62,938 goal set for this year will be made Tues- day, Wednesday, andiThursday of next week. The fund is now slightly above $50,000 and at least $5,000, it is hoped by fund directors, will be raised during the three day period. J. K. Malcolm will head the forces engaged in the drive and five solici- tors from each of the boards of the constituent agencies are expected to help, A list of persons who have not been approached or who stated that they would be able to give some- thing later is being compiled for the convenience of the group. All transients seen seeking help on Ann Arbor streets will be referred to fund headquarters, where t h e proper channel of relief may be pointed out Plant Cost To. Be $350,000 SaysCaswell Water Department Head Endeavors To Clarify Confusion Over Plan Huron Filtration Is Preferable, He Says Insufficient Supply For Future, It Is Agreed; Loan Is Advised Harrison Caswell, manager of the Ann Arbor water department, en- deavored to clarify an existing con- fusion concerning the cost and meth- od of raising the necessary money for a filtration plant at the Huron River yesterday afternoon. Referring to the report of the water board, which made an exhaus- t ive study of the present water sit- uation, he asserted that the plant's cost, everything included, would be only $335,000 and not $750,000, as was charged by the plan's opponents at a meeting of the Taxpayers' League last night. The board's report listed the fol- lowing items of expense: Filtration plant........$260,000 Cast-iron main from plant to reservoir ......40,000 Cast-iron main from. reservoir into west side of city...............35,000 Total.. ...........$335,000 "At the present time," Mr. Caswell said, "we are getting our water from the Barton Dam well, the Montgom- ery well, and the Steere Farm. If Ann Arbor residents want soft water it will be necessary to build a water softener plant and then bring the water from these wells 'together at the plant. This would cost more than erecting a filtering plant at the river. Thus from a purely economic standpoint the river plant is prefer- able. Suggests R. F. C. Loan The money necessary for the pro- ject, Caswell explained, could be bor- rowed from the R. F. C. or a bond issue could be floated. "It would be possible to pay off on the bonds out of the present revenue derived by the department, and there would be neither an increase in water rates nor in taxes," he said. The present water supply of Ann Arbor, it is generally agreed, is not sufficient for the future. In order to get a greater supply it is neces- sary either to go to the Huron River, which is expected to prove perma- nently adequate, or to seek more wells in outlying parts of the country. Cas- well listed the following expenditures which would be necessary in the latter case: Survey Needed "First," he said, "we would have to make a survey to find the water. Secondly, we would have to get con- trol of this water by buying the land, -agreements with the owners, and whatever other methods are possible. Third, we would have to lay new pipe lines to the new wells. Finally, we might get into difficult damage suits because of draining away farmers' water. And then we would have simply the same kind of water we are getting now. "To get soft water, it would then be necessary to bring these incoming streams together at some spot and there erect, at additional expense, a softening plant." Mr. Caswell said that he did not particularly care which the people wanted to do, for it was his func- tion to carry out the water board's work, whatever it was.' Britain, U. S. To Hold Debt ParleySoon Hoover, Roosevelt Meet Together For An Hour, Decide On Negotiations Other Debtors May Desire To Confer Stimson Asked To Get In Touch With Ambassador To Arrange Details WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-(P)-A new deal, readjusting the tangled and long-troublesome array of World War debts, seemed a distinct probability tonight after President Hoover and President-Elect Roosevelt agreed to open early debt negotiations with Great Britain. Sitting down together within the White House for an hour and a half, they decided that Secretary Henry Stimson should arrange at once for the reception of British representa- tives immediately after March 4, to discuss not only war debts, but also "ways and means for improving the world situation." Secretary Stimson later called Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassa- dor, to the State Department and presumably communicated to him the result of the White House conversa- ti on. Issue Joint Statement In a formal joint statement the President and his successor spoke only of a "discussion of the debts." But there was a general assumption in the capital tonight that this meant not only a re-alignment of Great Britain's obligations, but also that other debtors immediately would pe- tition for similar treatment. The Hoover-Roosevelt agreement was reached at the very moment when the Senate chamber echoed with a scathing speech by Sen. Ar- .thur R. Robinson, Irndependent Re- publican, terming France a "thorough ingrate" for its debt default. World-wide reaction to the White House meeting was immediate. In responsible British political quarters the move was termed "the best news in weeks." An official spokesman in France declared before the Hoover-Roosevelt move was announced that France was ready to negotiate at the earliest possible moment concerning its debt, now in default. Later it was said no dissatisfaction was expressed in offi- cial comment over the fact that the Paris government was not mentioned in the announcement made here. In Belgium, Hungary, Poland and other defaulting nations as well as Italy, Czechoslovakia and other payee countries, the new American move was taken under immediate consid- eration. In Germany, an official spokesman declared that that nation "welcomes everything that will hast- en a solution of the debts question." The President and President-Elect, in their second post-election meeting today, spoke not entirely of debt and world economics. In touching upon the tense Sino-Japanese situation, informed quarters reported Mr. Roosevelt as expressing a belief that the accord between the two adminis- trations on foreign treaties would have a healthy effect. JUNIOR DENTAL ELECTIONS Stuart P. Carr was- elected presi- dent of the junior class in the dent- al school, it was announced by the Student Council yesterday. Other of- ficers are Faustin N.

"We consider this sale a very fa- vorable sign," Saltzstein said, "in-J asmuch as this number is practicallyt a third of the total number of tickets which will be sold for the dance. The tickets have been on sale for only. four days and if they keep selling at the same rate they will be gone by the end of next week." The sale will be limited to 700, he pointed out. The tickets are now be- ing sold at the Parrot, Slater's, Wahr's, the Union, the Hut, the Den, and by committeemen. The automobile ban will be lifted for students who apply for permitsJ for the J-Hop week-end it was an- nounced yesterday by Walter B. Rea, assistant tothe dean of students. The period will extend from noon Friday, Feb. 10, to 8 p. m. Monday, Feb. 13. The suspension of the ban is sub- ject to the following restrictions, ac-1 cording to Mr. Rea. Cards must be secured at Room 2, University Hall, and sent home for parents' signa- tures and correct license numbers of cars to be used. If the cards are re- turned to Mr. Rea's office prior to Feb. 10 driving permits will be is- sued. Cars must not be brought into town before Friday noon and must be driven out before 8 a. m. Monday. No extensions of this arrangement will be granted, Mr. Rea said. Local Faculty Members Take Part In Shoot Hold High Score To Date In Quadrangular 'Wire' Rifle Match Approximately 22 members of the faculty took part in what is tech- nically called a wire rifle shoot with the Universities of Illinois, Minne- sota, and Purdue at the Reserve Of- ficers' Training Corps headquarters Thursday evening. Illinois' total score for the meet was 1638, while that of the local competitiors was 1654, giving the first match to Michigan's representatives. Reports from the two other schools taking part have not been received yet, according to Capt. C. A. Powell. The meets are conducted in this manner by the competing groups computing their own scores and ex- changing them afterward by mail. Officials say that it is often used in matches of this type. Prof. Philip E. Bursley, of the French department, was individual high scorer for the evening; Prof. A. D. Moore, of the electrical en- gineering department, was second; Grant Earlier Reinstatement For Freshmen Scarcity Of Jobs Causes Administrative Board To Take Favorable Action Scarcity of jobs has led the liter- ary college to continue a plan, start- ed last year, which will enable cer- tain freshmen with very low grades to be reinstated at once, instead of having to withdraw, it was stated yesterday by Assistant Dean Wilfred R. Humphreys. The action was taken at a meet- ing of the college administrative board on Thursday afternoon, it was learned. A statement by Dean Humphreys relative to the action read, in part: "(The plan was) adopted last year to permit a selected number of fresh- men who make very low records in the first semester, and who would ordinarily be required to withdraw for at least one semester, to be rein- stated .at once, and so to continue upon this second and final trial in the second semester." "With conditions as they are," commented the Dean, "you can't tell a student to leave school and get a job, and to apply for reinstatement later. Such action would be unfair, in consideration of the scarcity of positions." Democrats Pick Candidates At.

French's claims that Mimes owes it $750, according to George Burke, University attorney, in whose hands the case has been placed by the Union. The amolt for which the. Union is willing to settle, Mr. Burke said yesterday, is $450. Mr. Burke also pointed out that a suit can not be started in a Federal court for less than $3,000. Comedy Club, student dramatic or. ganization, has been refused the right to produce Samuel French plays since this controversy started, according to letters on file in the office of Wal- ter B. Rea, assistant to the dean of students. Late in October Comedy Club wrote the publishing house requesting in- formation on available plays. One of the letters on file in Mr. Rea's office is the answer to this request, dated Nov. 2, 'stating that until the royalty on "Meet the Prince"-produced 1y Comedy Club last year-is paid, no more plays will be available. "Not Interested" The reply continued, "To be frank with you, we are not interested in doing business with any group in the University of Michigan while the Mimes matter is pending, and only answer inquiries as a matter of courtesy." Mr. Rea, in his capacity as audi- tor of student organizations, sent a check paying for the royalty and in the acknowledgment of the check- also on file in Mr. Rea's office-the company said, "The University of Michigan Mimes is indebted to us in a considerable sum because of illegal use of plays in our lists. Suit will be .:led in a Federal court againbt the UfniOn any day now and pending the ut~oie of this suit we d- tot care vi ham: ay dea~ing with any or- g~atu ma; aU with the Uri- vesiLy of Mivhigan in matt rs re- lating to acting rights exclusively in our control." History Of Controversy The history of the Mimes contro- versy as outlined by Paul Buckley, manager of the Union, began several years ago when requests were sent to the publishing house for royalty prices on various plays in the French lists. The company gave the quota- tions and during the course of several years a number of these plays were produced by the local organization. Finally Samuel French, Inc., sent a bill for an unstated amount to Mr. Buckley as the sponsor of Mimes. Mr. Buckley countered with a re- quest for an itemized statement. At this point the company sent a com- plaint to President Alexander G. Ruthven, put the matter in the hands of an Ypsilanti attorney, and for- warded a statement of the amount ea it in whioh th eiuotana ini Believe It Or Not, Armadillo Is Likew A Whale In One Respect This Daily want ad got more business than this home laundry could take care of By GEORGE M. HOLMES To say that an armadillo resembles a whale, like seeing pink elephants, implies a strain of idiocy, or some- thing similar. However, in one par- ticular, this resemblance is true. The arrangement of protective bony ar- mor so apparent in the armadillo is found in only one other living crea- ture, the whale, where it is not as noticeable. Indeed, the armadillo is a queer fellow in many respects. His teeth, if most impossible to extract him. In- deed, he is so capable of clinging to the sides of his burrow with his short feet that pulling will often fail to dislodge him, as he prefers to lose his tail. Many natives consider the arma- dillo as a delicacy, yet the ordinary American would probably take a dis- like to a stewed one, as his flesh is somewhat tasty because of his diet. He feeds on roots, insects, worms, reptiles, and carrion. mt,,.. - - ...~ - -a _ s _ .. - ...
