Hurried preparations were made for the event after the executive's arrival from Georgia to survey the machinery created to regulate the li- quor industry until Congress has time to enact legislation looking to perma- nent control. Three states --Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Utah -hold ratifying conven- tions tomorrow, making the full three-fourths that are necessary for a constitutional change. Governors of those states are to notify the state department immediately after action is taken. Repeal Plans Aproved Mr. Roosevelt conferred today with Secretary Henry A. Wallace and Jo- seph H. Choate, ;Jr., director of the Federal alcohol control administra- tion, in charge of regulating liquor industries, and approved plans for post-repeal. Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of industrial alcohol, resigned, ef- fective tomorrow, to become director of the domestic Distillers Code au- thority. Acting Secretary Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., of the Treasury, announced Doran's action simultaneously with an announcement that the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol would be re- turned to the Bureau of Internal Revenue tomorrow, where. it was in the pre-prohibition days. A last-minute effort of prohibition- ists to block repeal was made in the District of Columbia Supreme Court today and a decision is to be handed down tomorrow. Attack State Conventions Counsel for Canon William Sheafe Chase, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and George S. Duncan, of Washington, argued that the conventions in the states did not have the authority to ratify pro- hibition repeal. They sought a pe- tition restraining the acting secre- tary of state from issuing a repeal proclamation. Chase said that an attempt would be made tomorrow to have the Penn- sylvania supreme court restrain the convention called in that state from ratifying repeal. L iquor Control Vote Postponed To0Later Date System Of State Liquor Shops Restored To Bill By Senator Karwick LANSING, Dec. 4- (A) - The pos- sibility of an early vote in the Sen- ate tomorrow on the State liquor control law was eliminated tonight when the Senate prohibition commit- tee adjourned until 9 a. mn. Tues- day with its study of the measure as yet unfinished. Members of the committee said an' effort would be made to report the' bill out Tuesday afternoon for a vote' on the floor of the Senate. One change was made on the mea- sure during tonight's deliberations. Sen. Leo G. Karwick, (Dem., De- troit) introduced an amendment re- storing to the bill the system of State' operated liquor stores which was in the measure as originally drafted by# the legislative council. The amend-1 ment was adopted by the committee" by a vote of 4 to 1. NEW YORK, Dec. 4-() - The liner Gripsholm steamed up to the bay here Monday with the bar wide open, the first inbound vessel to do so since prohibition went into effect. Passengers, languidly sipping cock- tails, watched the docking operations. The bar was not closed until the vessel had been eased into its berth. PHILADELPHIA - An appeal will be taken to Harrisburg Tuesday from the action of the Dauphin County court which refused to enjoin the holding of Pennsylvania's repeal con- vention. Lawyers said Monday night that the appeal, sought by the in- ternational reform federation, would not halt the convention. COLUMBUS -Delegates to Ohio's repeal convention arrived in this city Monday night in preparation for Tuesday's convention which will mark the state's formal ratification of the 21st amendment. The general assembly also will meet Tuesday for the purpose of drafting liquor con- trol measures with spirited argument anticipated over a proposal to au- thorize sales by the glass. OLYMPIA-The Washington state legislature convened here Monday in special session to consider liquor con- trol laws. Some cities are making efforts to control the sale of liquor until state regulation has been ef- fected, but the state generally will be "wide open" Tuesday. NEW YORK - Applicants for bev- erage licenses Monday night awaited word from the liquor control board while Broadway hung up decorations and made elaborate plans for the welcoming of "Old John Barleycorn" whom they last knew legally 14 years ago. SALT LAKE CITY-Utah is pre- pared to drive the thirty-sixth nail in prohibition's coffin Tuesday, as- sembling its convention at noon (Mountain Standard time) which will be after Pennsylvania and Ohio have acted. Due to an elaborate cere- mony it is not expected that the actual votes of ratification will be cast until late in the afternoon. To Begin Galens Annual Charity DriveToday Tag Sale Designed To Aid Children Confined To UniversityHospital Galens' annual tag sale in support of its workshop and other philan- thropic projects to benefit children confined in University Hospital will be held today and tomorrow in an effort to raise funds needed to con- tinue the work this year. The shop, which is located on the ninth floor of University Hospital, is one part of the three-fold program for which this money is used. The other, and less expensive proj- ects, are a Christmas party for chil- dren in the various dormitories, and a "Sunshine Fund," which provides amusements and distractions for' children confined to their beds. The shop represents a normal en- vironment for boys and girls similar to that offered in public schools with the exception that much more op- portunity for individual initiative and intellectual freedom is given. It is designed to meet the needs of sick children while in the hospital, ac- cording to Galens Woodwork Shop's annual report. Every activity and the use of each tool is carefully planned to give in- struction in many kinds of work. Boys and girls have freedom of choice in selecting the article to be made and often a child likes to just look around for a day or more. Though many are diffident at first, they all come to participate in and enjoy the work. Magazines, craftsman materialsk and literature, geographical indus- trial maps, display boards, and sam- ples of wood worked on the ma- chines of the shop are on display to make this period of observationt profitable and educational.C Toy making is a major activity andk provides an interesting and pains- taking occupation, teaching the fun-c damental processes in wood workingt with little material. The boys and girls want to make many kinds oft toys because they like to create, pos- sess, and take them home as evi-r dence of their efforts. Materials andt (Continued on Page 6) Prohibition 's End In Nation To Bring No ChangeLocally When John Barleycorn's 14-year banishment comes to an end today there will be no bands to play, no flags to wave, no people to shout, as legal liquor is welcomed back. With unexpected tardiness, State beer experts, senators, and represen- tatives are tackling the problem of liquor control and sale, debating, dis- cussing, probing, and rejecting bills and clauses. Nor is the legal outlook any more optimistic. Any act which was ille- gal and a violation of the liquor laws yesterday, or last month, will be in effect today and tomorrow, city and county officials state. Attaches of the police department and the sheriff's office will not "wink" at the open sale of liquor stronger than 3.2 with- out orders from Lansing, it was re- vealed. Citizens can expect little or no leniency. According to Prosecutor Albert J. Rapp, unlicensed sale of liquor, whenever apprehended, will be pun- ished according to law, in an ef- fort to wipe out the bootlegger. Buying System Is Formulated Fraternities Choral Union Gives Fourth Concert Today Cincinnati Symphony Wil Appear Under Baton O Eugene Goossens Originated In 1895 l Under Taft Family Frank Van Der Stuckei Was First Conductor O Six Group Has Had The Cincinnati Symphony Orches- tra, which will present the fourth of the current series of Choral Union Concerts when it appears at 8:15 p m. today in Hill Auditorium, under the baton of Eugene Goossens, might be properly termed the "vision of the Tafts." The civic association which in 1895 instituted an annual series of symphony concerts in the City of Cincinnati had as its first president Mrs. William Howard Taft, who re- tired when her husband, the late President, afterwards Chief Justice of the United States was appointe Governor of the Philippines, in 1900. Holmes Is Successor Mrs. Taft was succeeded as head of the organization which was re- sponsible for Cincinnati's musical de- velopment by Mrs. Christian R. Holmes, who held the office for 13 years. Upon her resignation, Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft was elected pres- ident, and held this office until the orchestra was re-incorporated and placed under the Cincinnati Institute of Fine Arts in 1929. There have been six conductors of the musical group, recognized as one of the leading organizations of its kind in the mid-west. Frank van der Stucken, the first leader of the institution, served from 1895 to 1906. The orchestra was disbanded for the seasons 1907-08 and 1908-09 because of labor disturbances, and during the first of these two. ears,. the Asso- ciation in charge brought to Cincin- nati important visiting orchestras. The second year no concerts were given, but a guaranty fund of $50,000 yearly, for a period of five years, was secured by the directors of the con- pany to found a permanent orches- tra. Leopold Stokowski, now affiliated with the Philadelphia group, was en- gaged as conductor, and ten pairs of symphony concerts were given during the season 1909-10. In 1910- 11 six popular concerts were added to this schedule. The following season there were 12 pairs of symphony concerts and six popular concerts. Have Noted Guest Conductors In the spring of 1912 Mr. Stokow- ski resigned and Dr. Ernst Kunwald was secured. When he resigned in Dec., 1917, Walter Henry Rothwell, Victor Herbert, Henry Hadley, Ossip Gabrilowitsch and Eugene Ysaye were engaged as guest conductors to complete the season. After winning a great triumph as conductor of the final concerts, and as general musical director of Cincinnati's May Festival of 1918, Eugene Ysaye was made the permanent conductor, holding the post until the close of the 1921-22 season. Fritz Reiner, young Hun- garian conductor, was engaged for the following season and held the post for nine years. The present conductor of the or- chestra, Eugene Goossens, English- man a n d musician-extraordinary (composer, conductor, pianist, vio- linist) was made musical director of the Cincinnati Musical Festival As- sociation at the time he took over the leadership of the group. As with similar musical organiza- tions, the Cincinnati Symphony Or- chestra has been confronted with the problem of adequate financial support.

Dinner Contrary to previous plans, the an- nual A.S.M.E. Student-Faculty Din- ner will be held at 6:15 p. m. Thurs- day, Dec. 7, at the Union. Included on the program are several short dis- cussions of engineering developments and economic conditions in different sections of the world. Dean Henry C. Sadler, of the Col- lege of Engineering, will deliver the introductory address as well as a resume of the engineering field. He will be followed by Prof. Alexander P. Gwiazdowski of the mechanical en- gineering department, who will speak on "Polish Developments and Condi- tions." Prof. Dudley M. Phelps of the School of Business Administration b b t s v is t b p 7 v r e s s u 11 b a Ip 9 b to p d I t1 A tentative plan for a co-operative buying system which, if successfully formed,may include every fraternity and sorority on the campus and "sup- ply its member chapters with superior commodities and services at substan- tial savings in time and money by centralized wholesale buying," will be under discussion Wednesday when backers of the plan will meet to se- cure the acceptance of members of the board on the plan. Maxwell T. Gail, '34, secretary-j treasurer of the Interfraternity Coun- cil, has announced that the tentativeI members of the board of governors of1 the association are being contacted at present, and that organization will be effected as soon as a suitable num- ber can be found to agree on the de- tails of the plan. The prospectus, which has been sent out to those who have been in- vited to attend Wednesday's meet- ing, provides for a board of governors to administer the system, which shall be a "self-perpetuating body com- posed of from five to seven members." The governors are to elect officers, who will serve without pay, and em- ploy one buyer, who will receive a compensation. As explained in the prospectus, a subscribing house will notify the as- sociation of the amount of any prod- uct offered by the association which it wishes to purchase and shall then buy from the source suggested by the association, securing the advantage of large-scale buying. Payments for goods and services are to be made by the tenth of the following month to the association. "The stewards, cooks, or other proper persons will not ordinarily deal directly with the association," the plan states, "but will buy as they foreign organizations on campus, and organized under the sponsorship of the Undergraduate Council, will be definitely formed at a meeting to be held at 5 p. m. next Monday in the Union, it is planned. Kendall B. Wood, '34, representing the Liberal Students Union, was chosen temporary chairman yester- day. Other members of the consti- tutional committee are Edward T. Cheyfitz, '34, of the National Student League; Adrian H. Jaffe, '36, Van- guard Club; Barbara B. Hall, '34, Stalker Hall; Kartar S. Gill, Grad., Hindustan Club; and Dexten B. Rey- nolds, '34, Newman Club. The com- mittee will meet at 4 p. m. today in the Union. No name for the new council could be decided on at the meeting yester- day, but it is planned that it will continue as a permanent body after the fund drive has been completed and the money distributed. Indefinite plans for launching the drive immediately after the holidays were generally favored by those pres- ent yesterday. The Undergrladuate Council would supply the organiza- tion and personnel for carrying out the actual drive, according to Gilbert E. Bursley, '34, president, but the new body would have charge of the distribution of the fund, acting in conjunction with some faculty mem- ber or members. Food-Drug Act To Be Topic Of Simmon' s Talk Federal Act Sponsored By Rexford Tugwell To Be Discussed . The proposed new Federal Food and Drug Act, sponsored by Rexford G. Tugwell, assistant secretary of agriculture, and gen. Royal S. Cope- land of New York, will be the topic of an address to be delivered by W. B. Simmons, of the Department of Agriculture, at 4:15 p. m. today in the amphitheatre of the Chemistry Building. Mr. Simmons will enumerate vari- ous products of an injurious nature which would be eliminated from the market by the provisions of this new bill according to Prof. Clifford C. Glover, director of instruction in food inspection and analysis here. Profes- sor Glover declared that one such so- called remedy now being advertised extensively as a reducer and revital- izer is in reality a harsh laxative. The bill, designed primarily to fur- ther protect the consumer, proposes for the first time legislation on the subject of cosmetics. Heretofore, they have not been considered as a drug, but, should the proposed measure be enacted, manufacturers of these goods will be forced to conform to definite specifications, Professor Glover said. Advantages of the act, it is said, are that it will do away with false label- ing, unfair competitive practices, and various other practices harmful to the public. Although the bill is opposed by a trnn lhhv of jscm tin , . m ,,a v r- . E t 1 r >I l Due to the success of the experi- ment last year, the Union will spon- sor its second ride bureau for stu- dents desirous of obtaining or offer- ing to others transportation to their homes for Christmas vacation, ac- cording to an announcement by O'Neill Dillon, '35, and Theodore Borst, '35, members of the executive council, who are in charge of the plan. Dillon stated that more than 250 students took advantage of this serv- ice last year, and that it was hoped that a great many more would avail themselves of the opportunity. to travel more cheaply this vacation. Many applications have already been received,he added. The only rule laid down by the committee is rthat private parties only may use the service. It will not be used to promote commercial schemes. Registration has already opened. All students interested should give their names to the committee any week-day afternoon in the student offices between 3 and 5 p. m. or com- municate with Borst or Dillon. Russia Subject Of Col. Robin's Lecture Dec.12 Will Enumerate Various Changes In Soviet Union During 15 Years Scholastic Records Are To Determine Privileges To Go To Seniors The Board of Directors, a women's self-government body of 'higher rank than the Board of Representatives, gave its approval to the proposal to lengthen women's hours at a meet- ing held last night in the League. This afternoon the recommendations of the two assemblies will be given over to a staff meeting of Dean Alice C. Lloyd's office, which will take final action on hours. Unanimous approval of the motion for 11:30 p. m. late permission Sun- day nights was given by the Board of Directors. The Board of Represen- tatives at its recent meeting passed the motion with only one dissenting vote. Permission Not Cumulative The Board of Directors' approval was also given to a motion to allow senior women having honor. points equal to the number of credit hours one hour late permission a week, this, permission to be secured from house; chaperons for functions within or outside of Ann Arbor. These permis- sions, it was stressed, are not to be cumulative. In other words, a co-ed who hadinot taken advantage of the new privilege for three weeks could not, on the fourth week, secure late permission for three hours on one night qf that week, nor one hour late permission for three days of that week. Most of the dormitories, it'was said, do not have a large senior group, and it is expected that the dormi- tories would be able to work out the chaperon problem in their own ways if Dean Lloyd gives her approval to the one hour late permissions each week. In one dormitory it has been suggested that the girls appropriate money from the house fund to pay the added expense of a chaperon governing late permissions. This method, it was said, would not in- crease the dormitory's board bill. "No Strict Restrictions" Scholastic restrictions in connec- tion with the new late permission lib- erty for C-average seniors should not be made too strict because of the dif- ference in studying demands of the various courses offered,, it was em- phasized. Members ofthe Board of Directors pointed out that there should be some sort of jifferentiation between privileges of underclassmen and seniors. Dean Lloyd was not present at the Board of Directors' meeting, feeling that her absence would promote a more free discussion of the hours in question.' The proposal to lengthen women's hours Saturday nights was turned down by the directors. W estern state Defeats Maize And Blue 2441 "Of all foreigners, Robins was the only man whom Lenin was always willing to see and who ever suc- ceeded in imposing his own person- ality on the unemotional Bolshevik leader," says Bruce Lockhart in his famous book "British Agent" of Col. Raymond Robins, who will deliver a lecture on "Russia - After Fifteen Years," Tuesday, Dec. 12, on the third of the Oratorical Association Lec- tures. According to officials of the Ora- torical Association, when old Russia fell, and Lenin and Trotzky swept into power in 1917, Colonel Robins was in Petrograd as commissioner commanding the American Red Cross in Russia. As the old order broke down he became unofficial represen- tative of the United States for deal- ing with the Soviet rgovernment. ColoneldRobins revisited Russia during the spring and summer of 1933. He saw the results of 15 years of Soviet rule. Stalin, who for a year and a half has refused foreigners an interview, spent an hour in confer- ence with him. In a radio broadcast shortly after his second return to the States he summarized thechange wrought in Russia by the Soviet program as fol- lows: "There has been terrible cost in freedom and life to the Russian people during these 15 years. There have been hunger, bitter suffering, starvation and death to pay for the New Order Of Things that is rising out of the old Russia. Everywhere there is the presence of armed force, and propoganda is around the citizen from the cradle to the grave. "Are the gains worth these colos- sal costs? That is a matter of per- sonal opinion. Certain I am that no western nation could have paid the price the Russians have had to pay. Certain I am that we would not tolerate the Soviet system 24 hours in our America." Oratorical Contestants To Hold Meeting Tomorrow A meeting of all students planning to enter the annual University Ora- torical contest will be held at 4 p. m. tomorrow in the Alpha Nu Room, fourth floor of Angell Hall, accord- ing to Carl G.

(Buck) Read's Western State Teachers College bas- ketball team hung up its third straight triumph over the University of Michigan five here tonight, trounc- ing the Maize and Blue 24 to 11. Defensive play and poor shooting marked the first half, which ended 6 to 4 in favor of the Kalamazoo Hill- toppers. Michigan's cagers couldn't stand the pace in the second half and Western steadily pulled away. Perigo and Lephan led the Western attack With nine and seven points respectively. Coach Cappon used 12 Wolverines, but the visitors were able to garner but three field goals. Varsity Debating Team
