Shoaws Drop In And Expenses, Grid Graph To Show Gam Will Ask Identification Of All Voters; Bursley To Explain Voting Dates With two class elections, the sen- iors and juniors, already completed, members of the two lower classes are nominating candidates, caucusing, and swinging into their campaigns for the coming elections. Sophomores will vote Wednesday, Nov. 1, and freshmen Wednesday, Nov. 8. In the literary college both soph- omore parties have chosen their can- didates and yesterday began distribu- ting "pluggers" in the hope of gain- ing the advantage over their rivals. The State Street g r o u p named George Northridge, Delta Tau Delta, for president, and Woodward Grove, Zeta Psi', for treasurer.- Remias Picked The Washtenaw-Coalition party in the literary college has chosen Steve Remias, Alpha Tau Omega, for pres- ident, Winifred Bell, Chi Omega, for secretary, and JamesEyre, indepen- dent, for -treasurer., .Yesterday sophomores in the Col- lege of Engineering, composing the Independent-Fraternity - Cooperative party, named their candidates for the election to be held the same day. Harold Hertz, Alpha Sigma Phi, was chosen to run for president, Anthony Dauksza, independent, for vice-pres- ident, Dale McCormick, independent, for secretary, and Edwin King, Sigma Chi, for treasurer. Jack Stevens will run for the Engineering Council on their slate, and Stuart Reed for the Honor Council. Sophomores in the Medical -School will also vote, and others must petition for an election date. Must Present Petition In setting dates for class elections, Gilbert E. Bursley, '34, president of the Undergraduate Council, explain- ed that all classes which had pages in last years Michiganensian are hav- ing elections arranged for them auto- matically, while any others may have a date set for them if they petition the Council before the end of next week. Any junior class which did not vote Wednesday may have a special election arranged for them if they petition the Council some time today. In commenting on the past elec- tions, Bursley stated that all have been run off without the least diffi- culty, under the direction of a mem- ber of the Council assisted by a Union committeeman at each polling place. In some schools eligibility lists have been furnished by the recorder's office to check voters, but in the lit- erary college names have been check- ed off in the student directory. Some positive means of identification must be furnished in order to obtain a ballot. Administration Plans Control Olf Distilleries WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. -(M)- Plans were moving forward today within the Roosevelt administration for federal control of the liquor in- dustry between the time of prohibi- tion's expected repeal and new legis- lation on the subject through a market agreement with distillers. This agreement already has taken tentative form at conferences be- tween representatives of the distillers and officials of the farm adjustment administration. Officials said today the distillers themselves were anxious for some form of governmental supervision in the interim between repeal and addi- tional laws by congress. It was pointed out that, aside from state regulations -4 considered in,- adequate in some cases - there was nothing to prevent a rush to go into the distillery business. Unless there is a measure of central control, many liquor manufacturers fear there may be the return of abuses. Pharmacy School Holds The curtain will fall tonight on Harriet Beecher Stowe's immortal epic of slavery, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Play Production's opening vehicle of the fall dramatic season under the direction of Valentine B. Windt, which is being staged in Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. A special children's matinee will be presented at 2:30 p. mn. today in the theatre, with prices set to suit the limitations of "flattened purses" of both members of the student body and the younger set, according to Mr. Windt. Seats in the balcony and the main floor will be sold at 25 cents for children and 50 cents for adults. For the benefit of members of the audience who are interested in the outcome of the Michigan-Chi- cago game in Chicago, the score will be announced between scenes. A number of good seats are still available for the matinee, John Hirt, '34, business manager, said. Tickets may be reserved by calling the box office at the theatre. The final show- ing of the play will be presented at 8:30 p. m. today. Litvinov Leaves Soviet For U. S. AmidSecrecy Russian Envoy, With Few Delegates, Keeps Silent Concerning Mission MOSCOW, Oct. 27- (') - Maxim Litvinov, to whom all Russia looks for the attainment of American rec- ognition, was on his way to the United States today in an atmos- phere of utmost secrecy. A peep beneath a scarcely-raised blind from a window of his train was the only parting view of his as- sociates the foreign commissar was seen to permit himself. And the crowds which gladly would have cheered him off on the all-im- portant journey to Washington were barred from the railroad station. -Hours after he .had slipped away behind closely drawn shades on the Berlin train, it was impossible even to learn whether his English-born wife had accompanied him. To the time of his unheralded de- parture he refused to break the si- lence in which he has locked his ideas about the forthcoming negotiations. Similarly tight-lipped were his as- sociates in high government circles. They would discuss neither his plans for the talks with President Roose- velt nor his itinerary.. Accompanying him were C. Ou- manski, chief of the foreign office press section, and Ivan A. Divilkov- ski, secretary of the foreign office collegium. The small party, accompanied by a handful of minor foreign office at- taches, entered the station shortly before midnight and boarded the train 15 minutes before its scheduled departure. Call 2-1214 For Final Scores Of Major Games DETROIT, Oct. 27.-(P)-Henry Ford's long-standing "silent contro- versy" with the NRA was at an abrupt end tonight with the Ford Company's statement-the first since the motor magnate failed to sign the auto code-that recovery administra- tor Hugh S. Johnson is "assuming the airs of a dictator" and "attempt- ing a grave injustice upon a law- abiding American industry." "Johnson's daily expression of opinion is not law," said a statement from the company offices today. "Signing a code is not in the law; flying the blue eagle is not in the law. The Ford Motor Company ob- serves the law and exceeds it in all its real recovery features." The statement, incidentally, made the charge that favoritism in the. awarding of governmental bids is "possible under the NRA." Breaks Silence The sudden breaking of silence by the Ford Motor Co., which since the outset of the National Recovery Act had remained uncommunicative as to its policy, followed Johnson's declar- ation in Washington today that he would "turn the case over to the at- torney general" if he found concrete evidence of direct violation of the code by the Ford company. Ford officials indicated clearly that they believed Johnson had singled them out unnecessarily in his state- ment, which concerned wage, hour and schedules of employment to be furnished by the national automobile chamber of commerce required by the NRA code. Ford is not a mem- ber of the N. A. C. C., but he has con- sistently maintained that working conditions in the giant Ford plants are better than those demanded by the code. The company indicated that the figures would be furnished if they were requested. Ford Bid Less "If bids have been made by Ford dealers it is because the government departments insist on it being done," the statement said. The situation at Washington, which has so greatly ex- cited Mr. Johnson, is a simple one. A Ford dealer who is a citizen of Wash- ington, entered his bid at the request of government men. His bid was something like $200,000 less than the others. "There is no money in government bids unless some form of favoritism is practiced, such as is now possible under the NRA. "Johnson now proposes to charge the American taxpayer a higher price' in order to give government business to a concern that pays lower wages than the Ford Motor Co. does. More money out of the taxpayer's pocket, less money in the working man's pocket-that is the way it will work." Circuit Court Jury Convicts Armed Robber George Fahndrich, 29, was found guilty in Circuit Court this afternoon of robbery armed by a jury which had debated his case for 27 hours, beginning Thursday afternoon. No sentence was pronounced and Fahn- drich remains lodged in County Jail. The jury found Fahndrich guilty of robbing the Forest Chase home in Milan of $500, after binding Mrs. Forest Chase and Edna Vernett. Sentence will p r o b a b l y be pro- nounced Monday by Judge George Sample. The case of Brent Dunn, 29, charg- ed with murder in connection with the death of John Reinhart, aged re- cluse whose body was found in his home on South Fifth Ave. three weeks ago, will probably come before Judge Sample late Monday after- noon, Prosecuting Attorney Albert J. Rapp said today. mRIarnra'.a nv'H ,naoA cumilfu Increase In Assets Give Explanation Of Trust Investments Figures Of Total Assets Show Increase Of Over One Half Million By JOHN HEALEY Showing an increase in total as- sets along with a large decrease in the cash operating income in spite of a drop in currert operating ex- penses, the financial report of the University for the year ended June 30, 1933, was released recently after having been officially adopted by the Board of Regents as their report to the governor of the state. Total assets of the University at this time were placed in the report at $52,168,159.65, an increase over the same period in 1932 of $769,710.17. This increase was largely in the edu- cational plant account, the rise in this part alone being $600,185.96. -Under this head lands increased $1,- 796.87, buildings $373,517.98, land im- provements $5,987.92, and equipment $218,883.19. Receipts Total 7 Million Net cash general fund receipts for the year, including the University Hospital, although it is regarded as a self-sustaining unit of the Univer- sity, totaled $7,846,795.92. The in- dividual parts of this total, with their percentage of the total, are as fol- lows: student f e e s, $1,204,515.67, 15.35 per cent; State appropriations, $4,597,108.41, 58.59 per cent; Sales and services, $194,268.51, 2.48 per cent; hospital receipts, $1,815,594.00, 23.14 per cent; miscellaneous, $35,- 309.33, .44 per cent. The University's cash operating in- come during the year, including the hospital income, was less than that of the previous year by $469,435.36. Current operating expenses of the University totaled $7,818,969.76, less $1,976,014.71 if the University hospi- tal were to be excluded as a separate unit. These current operating ex- penses are lower by $989,683.18 than the previous y e a r, including the hospital. Fund Goes For Research The current part of the current general fund disbursements went for instruction and research,/ 54.88 per cent being used for this purpose; 25.27 per cent of the total was used by the hospital; 8.05 per cent for op- eration and maintenance; 4.77 per cent for general administration; 4.63 per cent for general expenses; .88 per cent for service department; .83 per cent for extension; and .69 per cent for physical plant additions.

Leaders said that candi- dates for the election to be held Nov. 8 will be selected at this time. i4 First Appearance Of Big Playing Board Scheduled At Union This Afternoon Will Present Fans With Graphic View Wire Service Direct From Game Allows Students To 'Witness' Contest The Grid Graph, a mechanical de- vice which will enable football fans in Ann Arbor to witness pictorially the plays of the Michigan-Chicago game at Stagg field in Chicago today, will have its initial appearance in the Union ballroom this afternoon. By means of a direct wire from a representative at the game, the play- by-play will be flashed across the large board here. Each player on the field is identified by a light bulb which flashes when he becomes a participant in the immediate play. Figures on a miniature gridiron, which the board contains, indicate the progress and direction of the play. The type of play in use is also shown as soon as the action begins. This device is an innovation in Ann' Arbor but has been used with great success in several other cities+ throughout the country. It is being sponsored by the Union, the Alumni1 Association, and the Michigan Daily. A complete diagram of the Grid Graph which will help fans to under-; stand the mechanism when it is wit- nessed this afternoon will be found on page three. The ballroom will be. opened at 2:30 p. m. and a small admission will be charged to cover the cost of operation. Accommodations have been made; for 700 spectators. Attendance will not be restricted to students, but willi be open to townspeople as well, ac- cording to a statement made by Rob-, ert A. Saltzstein, '34, president of the Union. Saltzstein also said that the Union will furnish a radio to pick-up cere- monies and band music between the halves. More ambitious musical pro- grams which include attendance of the Varsity Band have been arranged for later in the season, but the pres- ence of the band in Chicago today precludes any such feature on this occasion. French Cabinet To Consider Finances PARIS, Oct. 27.-(P)--Only a few hours old, Premier Albert Sarraut's ministry "convalescence" plunged without delay into the task of bal- ancing the French budget. Finance Minister Georges Bonnet, "the guardian of the franc" and Gardey, the new budget minister, studied prospects of bringing finances into equilibrium from the viewpoint of both senate and chamber of dep- uties. M. Gardey, an influential member of the senate, has been speaking and writing on financial restoration for months, and is expected to develop plans which will satisfy the senate, while M. Bonnet will reflect the chamber's attitude. Probable Lineups Chicago Pos Michigan Wells ........LE ..... Petoskey Deem........LT......Wistert Perretz .......Lax.......Savage Patterson ...... C......

Varsity Band Entrains For Game And Fair Special Train Carries 110 Musicians; World's Fair Concert To Be Given Leaving for a World's Fair concert and its first major football trip in two years, the Varsity Band was to entrain at 7 a. m. today at the Michigan Central Station en route to Chicago. The unit, including more than 110 members and officers, was to as- semble on the platform shortly be- fore train-time and be checked into its cars on the Varsity Band Special for breakfast. Railroad officials last night said that more than 10 coaches in addition to diners for the band and students, would make up the train. Approximately 500. reserva- tions, in addition to those for the band, had been made for students by last night, it was said at the ticket office. The train will arrive at the 53rd Street station of the Illinois Central Railroad at noon, Ann Arbor time, and the "Fighting Hundred" will march to its headquarters in the Hotel Windermere for lunch before the game at Stagg Field. A brief concert of Michigan songs will be given tonight in front of the Michigan Building on the grounds of A Century of Progress Exposition, and after the concert ,the bandsmen will be dismissed to see the Fair or to visit friends in Chicago. They will re-assemble shortly after noon tomorrow and at 2:30 will pre- sent a six-number concert in the court of the Hall of Science. In the evening after this concert, for which Prof. Nicholas D. Falcone has chosen classic and semi-classic numbers which have proved popular in Var- sity Band concerts on the campus, the band will entrain for Ann Ar- bor, arriving here at midnight. Committeemen In Educational School Picked Appointments to senior committee positions in the School of Education were announced yesterday by Flor- ence M. Shaw, class president, with those named distributed among five groups. Merable Smith was named chair- man of the executive committee, and Barbara Andrews, Cant Bowsher, and Mary Kessberger as other members. On the finance committee, Miss Shaw appointed Corrine Fries, chair- man, Marion Foley, Beatrice Mass- man, and Clifford Friend. Lucile Root was appointed chairman of the cap and gown committee and Eliza- beth Cooper, Clayton Fowler, and Gladys Dingle committee members. The invitation committee consists of Gunnard Antell, chairman, Alice Goodenow, and Rose Shon, while Lois Parker was appointed chairman of the canes committee, assisted by Henry Krul and Robert Amsten.

NEWMAN (Special To The Daily) CHICAGO, Oct. 27-Thirty-three Wolverines arrived here today set for their invasion of the Windy City, as they battle the Maroons of the Uni- versity of Chicago tomorrow after- noon on Stagg Field. The contest is set for 2 p. m. C. S. T. (3 o'clock Ann Arbor time). The formidable Wolverines de- trained at 53rd St. station early this afternoon, and after installing them- selves at the Hotel Windermere, took over Stagg Field for a light work- out under the direction of Coach Harry Kipke later in the day. Tomorrow's battle finds Michigan top-heavy favorite to hand the team from the Midway their second set- back in as many starts, while the Maroons will be gunning for the Maize and Blue to give them their first beating in 18 starts. Has Experience Advantage Michigan's advantage lies largely in experience; the Maroons will not be outweighed by a great deal, and may give the Wolverines more op- position than is expected. Last week, Thicago held a strong Purdue aggre- ,ation to a 14-0 tally, and the week before scored a 40-0 victory over Washington University of St. Louis. ,The regular ineup will start the ;ame, according to, Coach ipke,al- ;hough it is not definitely known this evening whether Jack Heston and red Petoskey will be in uniform, and it is fairly certain that neither of these stars will play for the dura- ion of the contest, no matter what the outcome. For the first time in the forty-two year period of intermittent rivalry between Michigan and Chicago, "Staggmen" is not an acicepable synonym for the team from the Mid- way. Coach Shaughnessy, formerly of St. Mary's, is now in charge. Depends On Sophomores He has a lineup composed largely of sophomores. Sahlin at quarter and Zimmer at left half are the two veteran members of the backfield, but Berwanger, a newcomer at right half has starred so far this season and the sophomore line is heavy and aggressive despite its lack of expe- rience. Michigan is expected to take to the air for a good deal of the offensive play tomorrow, as Coach Harry Kipke is trying to spare his runners and his running attack from the eyes of Bob Zuppke, coach of the Illini, who will view the contest. The first-stringers are expected to go in and score as early as possible in order to give the Varsity stone wall and the four iron men of the backfield a rest while a team of sub- stitutes takes the field, although it is expected that Chicago's offensive will give them too much of a battle. If so, the Varsity will have to go in again. The two thousand Michigan fans expected here before game time to- morrow have already begun to arrive, while alumni headquarters have been set up at the Hotel Windermere. Slosson To Speak On Religion Before Freshman Round Table ",-. Opening the second month of the Freshman Round Table discussions, Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the lit- erary department will speak on "Re- ligion In This Changing World" at 9 a. m. tomorrow in the Grill Room of the League. This subject will be the general theme for the weekly discus- sion sessions of the Round table dur- ing November. Professor Slosson who last year taught history as a Carnegie profes- sor at the Universities of Glasgow, Manchester, and Bristol, will not ap- proach his subject from a theolog- ian's viewpoint but rather from a his- torical angle. Part of his address will be devoted to the answering of ques- +ir.rc r.of lii n it mon th'sdiscus- l t r E' Government To Cease Buying Ford Products WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-()- President Roosevelt and his aides committed the government today to an effort to obtain affirmative com- pliance with the automobile code from Henry Ford, or go after the manufacturer with formal prosecu- tion and exclude him and his dealers from government business. ,,:: .: . .
