At the end of a day that had seen the administration monetary bill in- vestigated by a Democratic senatorial expert on finances, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau gleefully closed the books on the first installment of the ten billion dollar financing pro- gram. It was heavily oversubscribel. In the Senate, Carter Glass of Vir- ginia, foremost Democratic exponent of financial legislation, spoke his mind about the monetary bill to al- low dollar devaluation. , He did not like it. Two infiationists - Borah, (Rep., Ida.) and Wheeler (Dem., Mont.) did like the bill but thought it did not go far enough toward sup- plying more money and set about seeing if they could change it. Dem- ocratic leaders promised to meet their threat to prevent mandatory in- flation. Borah found about the same fault with a solution that two fellow Re- publican independents, Nye of North Dakota and Norris of Nebraska, had' worked out for the plight of small business men under NRA. Hugh S. Johnson said they had agreed to set up a board tohandlecomplaints. Borah said it did not go far enough. On the monetary bill, President Roosevelt expressed to Senate leaders willingness to accept a three-year limitation imposed, by the Senate banking committee upon his dollar devaluation and stabilization oper- ations. He evinced displeasure, how- ever, at the idea of having a board handle the dollar levelling operations in foreign exchange and despite some talking by conservatives this pro- vision will be taken out of the bill. The House, while the Senate was engrossed in the monetary measure, passed one of the supply bills of the session - that for the navy - and took up another. The measure it took up was for the treasury and postoffice departments and was four hundred million dollars lighter than the one for those departments thisy fiscal year.

"Fireweed" was accepted im- mediately by the publishers and will appear on Feb. 15. The story is centered in the lake country of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a section where Miss Wal- ker lived from 1927 to 1930. The life of one of the small towns in that re- gion, such as Big Bay where she re- sided, is recreated in the book. Prof. Bennett Weaver, secretary of the committee on the Hopwood As soon as this book is received from the publisher's, two reviews, one by Professor Weaver and one by a student, will appear in The Daily. Awards last year, characterized Miss Walker's writing as "fine, clear, and easy.'

"Fireweed" was completed last year while Miss Walker was studying for a degree of Master of Arts at the University.

Military Affairs Chairman Speaks To Combined Reserve Officers Corps Four Graduates Are Given Commissions Says Army Men Are Most Likely To Work Toward Continuance Of Peace Speaking at the combined cere- mony of the entire Reserve Officers Training Corps regiment held yester- day afternoon, Prof. William H. Hobbs, chairman of the University Committee on M i lIi t a r y Affairs, stressed his feeling that the R.O.T.C. as an organization is an integral part of the defensive strength of the United States. He brought out the fact that it is never men in the nation's armed forces who bring about international conflicts, but rather that they are the ones most likely to work for the continuance of peace. "Preparedness, contrary to' the general impression, is one of the most important factors in the preservation of peace," he said, "for the likelihood of a nation's attacking another that has been thoroughly prepared is negligible. In that way it is one of the best guarantees of peace." Professor Hobbs pointed out that we should not be too ready to con- demn a nation for attempting to se- cure the necessities of life when its population grows too large for the productivity of its original territory. "We would probably do the same, but this need not be anticipated in the United States, for we are self-sup- porting as far as food is concerned and nearly so in regards to raw ma- terials." It was also brought out that stu- dents who are enrolled in R.O.T.C. units at the present time are receiv- ing training that will enable them to be of great service to their country in the event of peace-time emergen- cies such as the one through which we are now passing. Professor Hobbs said in this emergency that countless members of the Officers Reserve Corps have been called upon to take part in the Federal Government's gigantic recovery program. In closing, he complimented the members of the regiment on the con- tinued rating of "Excellent" which has been received by the local unit from Army inspectors, paid high tribute to the regular Army officers who are in charge here, and said that the healthy condition of the Mich- igan corps is evidenced in its con- tinued g r o w t h throughout past years." Four members of the regiment who have completed their four-year course were awarded commissions in the Of- ficers Reserve Corps. They are: Her-' bert L. Nigg, '36, James R. McNitt, '34E, Gordon K. Gravelle, '34E, and] Howard E. Helliesen, '34. Semester awards were presented to] the best drilled freshmen and theI best-drilled squad and company. Art Cmnema's German Film Hop Sell-Out Is Announced By Comnmittee Independent Booth Group Members Caught Short By Sudden Scarcity 15 Of 26 Booths Already Assigned Hazelton Says Fraternity Applications Are To Be Presented Today A complete sell-out of the 850 tickets issued for the 1935 J-Hop was announced yesterday by John G. Garrels, Jr., '35E, chairman of the ticket committee. The sell-out has caused consider- able dismay, Garrels said, because at a meeting of independents to form booth groups held Tuesday more than one-fourth of the men present did not have tickets and were unable to get them. A second meeting for independents will be held at 7:15 p. m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Union, according to Samuel Hazelton, '35E, chairman of the booths committee, and at that time all those present must have tickets. More than 60 attended the- last meeting. Fraternities must have applications for booths into the committee by to- morrow, Hazelton emphasized last night. Of the total of 26 booths which are to be constructed in the in the Intramural Sports Building 15 Intramural Sports Building 15 have already been assigned, he stated. Each booth must contain 20 cou- ples and a list of the names, ad- dresses, and ticket numbers of each member together with the names of the chaperones must accompany the application. In addition, each booth must provide its own furniture to be in place by noon Friday, Feb. 9, and removed by noon, Saturday, Feb. 10. All applications for booths should be sent to the J-Hop Booth Com- mittee, 548 5.. State St., or given to him, Hazelton said. A list of the necessary furniture will be furnished on request, he stated. Good-Will Fund Clothes Drive Is Under Way Local Cleaners And Dyers Will Renovate Garments Donated To Campaign The Good-Will fund clothes drive is now well under way and many clothes have already been collected from students by the Union, accord- ing to an announcement made last night by Robert A. Saltzstein, '34, president. "The cooperation of the campus has been appreciated very much, but there is still a definite necessity for more garments," Saltzstein said. The local cleaners and dyers asso- ciation has agreed to clean and press the clothes, it was learned last night. Harold Goldman, of Goldman Bros., cleaners, was largely instrumental in making this possible. Stein Cleaners, Swiss Cleaners, Greens Cleaners, W a h 1 Cleaners, White Swan Laundry, and Goldman Bros. Cleaners have all agreed to co- operate on this project. Allen D. McCombs, '35, student executive committeeman in charge of the drive, stated that sophomore committeemen will be in the student offices every afternoon to collect clothing from students and towns- people who leave their names and ad- dresses. '37 Movings Procedure Suggested By Alumni Interfraternity Conference Followed Fraternities desiring to have fresh- men move into the chapter houses during the second semester must communicate with the office of the dean of students immediately, Dean Joseph A. Bursley announced yester- day. In line with the procedure sug- gested by a recent resolution of the Alumni Interfraternity Council, the dean is to grant permission to have first-year men move in, in the case of each individual house, it appeared from a statement which was issued last night. Such permission will be granted only if the attitude of the house on "hell week" activities, the number of active members living out of the house, and other "pertinent considerations" are thought to be satisfactory. The regulations governing t h e freshman's part of the move stipulate that he must be scholastically eligible for initiation, that is, have attained at least 11 hours and 14 honor points, and that he must have the permis- sion of his parents. As with all student living in ap- proved rooming houses, the freshman must notify his landlady two weeks before the end of the semester, on Friday, Jan. 26, of his intention to move.

Students Favor Waterways Plan, In Forum Vote Stump Society Discussion Creates Great Interest In St. Lawrence Project After listening to a three-sided de- bate on the question of the St. Law- rence Waterways, 250 students and faculty members who attended a meeting last night sponsored and di- rected by the Stump Speakers' So- ciety of Sigma Rho Tau, voted in fa- vor of the plan as it is now being projected in the Senate. The arguments were presented by Prof. Ferdinand N. Menefee, of the engineering college, Prof. Shorey Pe- terson, of the economics department, and Prof. John S. Worley, of the en- gineering college. In presenting the affirmative issues in the discussion Professor Menefee emphasized the fact that the project is eminently justified on the basis that it is an empire-building plan, that it will help to populate and develop both Can- ada and the United States and that it would assure the future of the middle west from an economic standpoint. Professor Peterson, who upheld the negative issues in the de- bate, questioned the fact that the project, the cost of which will devolve upon the people would redound to them as beneficially as the plan's advocates say that it will.

Roosevelt Here Ann Arbor will witness what is ex- pected to be one of the greatest and most colorful functions in recent years when the city, along with 5,000 other cities, celebrates the birthday of President Franklin D. Roosevelt next Tuesday. It was learned that Gov..William A. Comstock would definitely attend the Ball, however, it was not known at what time he would appear, as he could not be reached by members of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. It was learned that he has an appointment to attend the committee were attempting to secure late permission for women students who wish to attend the dance. A great feature of the ball will be a giant 300-pound birthday cake, probably one of the largest ever to be baked. Committee members say that it will even rival the cake made for Ann Arbor's anniversary several years ago. Special pans have been constructed, and the cake, which will be placed on display in a day or two, will be made by the Chamber of Commerce baker division according to William F. Angell. There will be enough cake to supply every child in Opens Tonight Run Of 'Der Hauptmann Von Koepenick' Starts In Lydia Mendelssohn Carl Zuckmeyer's brilliant cine- matic satire of pre-war Germany, "Der Hauptmann von Koepenick," will open a three-day run at8:15 p. m. today in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre under the sponsorship of the Art Cinema League. "Der Hauptmann von Koepenick" (The Bogus Captain of Koepenick) won high praise from the New York World-Telegram, which ranked it second only to "Cavalcade" as the best picture of 1933. Max Adalbert, who is cast in the lead role, is re- puted to duplicate the excellent per- formance registered by Werner Kraus in the legitimate stage version. The Art Cinema League has im- proved the technical capacities of the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre for sound films, and it is expected that diffi- culty encountered in the past with Abbott Denies He Will Resign; Lacy Slated F orChairmanship DETROIT, Jan. 24.-(P)- Horatio ethics set by President Roosevelt, J.
