Johnson Predicts That The Factions Will Reach A Settlement Today President Confers With Both Groups Tension S e e m s Relaxed After Roosevelt Talks To Leaders WASHINGTON, March 23.- () - A prediction that an agreement would be reached tomorrow that would settle the threatened strike in the automobile industry was made to- night by Hugh S. Johnson after Pres- ident Roosevelt had talked over the matter with manufacturers and labor representatives. The President spent almost two hours in separate conference with the two groups. Johnson, asked if there would be an agreement tomorrow, said as he left the final meeting: "Yes, I think so." "Only That Far Apart" He was smiling and, holding his fingers separated only slightly, re- marked "We are only that far apart." The tension on all sides seemed ob- viously relaxed after the White House session. The President talked for an hour and ten minutes with the 'aut executives and for lessthan 20 min- utes with the labor group. Both the executives and the labor representatives said they would re- main over tonight to await a call to- morrow from the President. Want Strike Delayed Labor officials said they would tele- graph the workers to hold off the strike another day. The automobile manufacturers were cheerful but uncommunicative as they left to give way for labor representatives who had waited in the adjoining cabinet room. As the motor men plowed through the group of waiting newspaper re- porters in the outer lobby, they de- clined to say whether an agreement had been reached. "I can't say a thing," said C. W. Nash, one of the members of the manufacturers delegation. "I am just a choreboy. I am just doing what I am ordered to do." Waite Advances Crime Reforms In New Book Law Professor Observes A Need For Difference In Social Philosophy Criminals should be eliminated from society for society's good, not punished for having done wrong, states Prof. John B. Waite of the Law School in his book, "Criminal Law in Action," which was published yesterday by the Sears Publishing Co. Professor Waite advocates a sweep- ing change in the philosophy which underlies the present administration of the criminal law, substituting the principles of what is best for society for the revenge objective. He denies the whole theory of punishment as the end of criminal law. When the motive of punishment is discarded, every prosecution will be recognized as an effort on the part of society to rid itself of a particular social danger, the book states, in- stead of a struggle between "an ab- stract government and an individu- al ." Professor Waite said last night that his book was the result of 15 years of teaching criminal law, although the actual composition of the work took much less time. "The sole question of prosecution will become," he states; in discussing the new philosophy of the law, "'Has this defendant shown himself to be a public menace?' If he proves to be a thief, a rapist, a killer, his men- tal condition will have no bearing March 12, 1934 Dear Mr. Connellan: Replying to your letter of March seventh, six per cent beer is freely sold at any restaurant in Hanover and also in the Coffee Room run by the College. We feel that no disadvantage has resulted in allowing beer to be sold without restrictions to students. I am quite sure that there has been no more disorderly conduct resulting from this policy than was previously the case, and we have avoided to a large extent the combination of drinking and driving which would inevita- bly follow any attempt on our part to limit the sale of intoxicants in the vicinity of the college property. Immediately following the repeal of prohi- bition which made six per cent beer only avail- able in New Hampshire, we had several noisy Saturday nights but within a few months the novelty of beer parties had disappeared and we have had no further trouble. I might add, how- ever, that in our treatment of liquor regulations we have been very strict in disciplining dis- orderly conduct and very lenient in our rules against the use of intoxicating liquors. Sincerely yours, (Signed) L. K. NEIDLINGERS Assistant Dean , The above is a copy of a. letter to the editor of The Michigan Daily from L. K. Neidlingers, assistant dean of students of Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H. beach Conger Finds Andorra Is Quite A Democratic Cowitryfl Indiana Men Are Leaders In Tourney Hoosiers Place Six In The Semi-Finals Of National Intercollegiate Meet Mosier And Harrod Win First Rounds Oklahoma A.'& M.

No Action Yet Taken In Mail Poster Fraud Developments Reveal That Federal Officials Have Not Started Inquiry Further developments regarding the alleged fraudulent offer of cash to needy college students, by an un- known person who claimed to rep- resent the National Student League, yesterday indicated that no Federal action has been taken, as had for- merly been claimed. League Exposed "Hoax" l Posters offering the cash were placed throughout the United States on the bulletin boards of prominent college, and the money, in amounts ranging from $1550 to $300, was of- fered without any restrictions other than character and need. The posters were placed locally about 10 days ago. Inquiry at that time by the local branch of the league elicited a denial from national headquarters of any connection with the offer, and a statement that it was a hoax. This was followed by a bulletin from the United States Department of Interior to the effect that inves- tigation had revealed the league maintained no office at the address given on the posters. Federal Action Not Yet Taken The letter from league headquar- ters also stated that the person re- sponsible for the alleged hoax had been apprehended and all money and letters sent to him in application' would be returned. This contention is not supported by the latest Federal letter on the subject, which came from the division of investigation of the United States Department of Justice and said that if the facts in the case were true it would be under the jurisdiction of the Postoffice De- partment for violation of its laws. This statement indicated that the Department of Justice had made no move in the case and that, as far as was known, the Postoffice Department was also unaware of the facts. The letter stated that the facts as known were being turned over to the postal department and all investiga- tion would be made through its chief inspector, K. P. Aldrich. IMan In Moon Moves Amateur Astronomers "It looks like a sponge." "Sorta like plaster of Paris." "I think it's cheese." Such were the opinions of the 40 or 50 who crowded into the two ob- servatories on the top of Angell Hall yesterday between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. to view the moon through a 15-inch reflector telescope and a 10-inch re- flector. The night was very unsatisfactory for vision, according to C. H. Clemin- shaw and Helen Porter, who ex- plained the demonstration and an- swered questions. These observations are open to the public once a month. According to Cleminshaw, the next date will be April 27. Labor Secretary Declares Faith In Capitalist System Miss Perkins Addresses A Large Audience In Hill Auditorium Points To Reform Program Of Future Urges Need For Greater Purchasing Po w er In Hands Of People Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins last night declared her essential faith in the enormous advantages and possibilities in the capitalistic system of production and outlined for a large audience in Hill Audi- torium a program of reforms that would in the future help to secure not only the mere necessities of life but a bountiful leisure for all. A program of unemployment re- serves or insurance, budgeted pro- duction, extension of the educational period and provision for old age, gen- eral shortening of hours, and an ever-ready public works program to meet the first indications of depres- sion were suggested 'as steps for re- moving elements of maladjustment, depression, and unemployment in the present system. Emphasizes Purchasing Power Miss Perkins, appearing under the auspices of the Oratorical Associa- tion, reaffirmed in her address the expressed belief of the administra- tion that putting purchasing power into the pockets of the people is the most certain way ofhcreating a de- mand for consumption of goods that will match our present mass produc- tion system. Referring to present labor troubles in the automobile industry as "only a tiny episode" in the necessary proc- ess of readjustment between employ- er and employee, she did say, how- ever, that a systematic, well-man- aged organization of labor would play a tremendous part in correct- ing many of the evils of the sys- tem, Calls Organization Natural In the past organized labor has had an importance out of all pro- portion to the number of workers it has embraced, she stated, citing its movements to secure free textbooks and abolish child labor. Organiza- tion being such a characteristic fea- ture of American life, she said, she could see nothing out of the ordinary in a desire for it on the part of labor. Declaring that America is resolved to retain the advantages of individu- al initiative, modifying the system only to introduce necessary elements of co-operation between capital and labor, between government and in- dustry, and between industries, she listed three challenges that must be met. LES ESCALDES, Andorra, Feb. 27 - S. Beach Conger, Jr., '32, a for- mer Editorial Director of The Michi- gan Daily, was recently received in audience by the President of Andor- ra, tiny republic tucked away in the northeast corner of Spain. Their conversation concerned American and Andorran relations, such as they are. The President was engaged in stamp- ing passports when Conger entered, but was dressed in laboring clothes and wooden shoes, ready to go to work. "This is real democracy here," Conger commented in a letter to a Daily Editor, "although according to. our Political Science staff, Andorra is a condominium and not a repub- Engineering Professor Awarded Polish Medal Prof. A. P. Gwiazdowski of the En- gineering College received notice from Cap. Sakowski that the President of the Republic of Poland recently hon- ored him with the Medal of Indepen- dence. Prof. Gwiazdowski received this medal for his activities against the Czar's regime in 1899 to 1903. At that time he received 15 years of hard labor in Siberia, but escaped to Ger- many and then came to the United States. lie. Very nice little country, but the tourist trade has just started, so that it will probably be spoiled in a couple of years." Conger, recently assistant and sec- retary to Harry Frank, '04, on the World Letters expedition which is circling the globe and writing let- ters to subscribers at home, has been the head of the expedition since Frank resigned. He was in Berlin during the Reichstag fire trial, vis- ited Austria shortly before the in- surrection broke out there, and is now in Tunisia, heading for Palestine and India on the home stretch of his tour. LaGuardia Clashes With Owners In Taxicab War NEW YORK, March 23-UP) - With Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia asserting that "we will not tolerate Chicago practices" and fleet owners threatening to ask the intervention of Governor Herbert H. Lehman, the taxicab war became a subject of grand jury investigation today. As street fighting which caused the injury of 60 persons subsided, Mayor LaGuardia lashed at the taxi own- ers, indicating his belief strike break- ers were being imported from Chica- go and asserting that such a move would be stamped out by police. One More Season Will Finish Excavation Project In Egypt Campus Leaders Declare Hell Week Is Derogatory To Women Outlines Three Challenges In the first place a mass consump- tion must be created to match the tremendous contributions of our mass production era; secondly, a de- sign to prevent depression and un- employment through a pattern of co-operation must be set up; thirdly, and above all, security and balance in the system must be provided, she stated. As instances of the importance of purchasing power, Miss Perkins told of the rising demand for automo- biles and the large increase in mail order business in the cotton states where farmers have benefitted from acreage reduction programs. She stressed the possibility of in- dustrial management in overcoming many of the elements of depression and unemployment, and declared that provision in good years to carry the load of unemployment in poor times must be recognized as one of the necessary costs and risks in busi- ness. "We can afford to treat ourselves to a real civilization," the secretary said, and further stated that she has no fear that the people will not know how to use their new leisure."Wheth- er they go to the movies or ride around in automobiles, they will be extending the boundaries of human consciousness." Believe Insull Aide In Egypt Hunting Sanctuary PORT SAID, Egypt, March 23.-- By WILLIAM H. FLEMING One more season will bring to a close one of the greatest excavating tasks that the University has ever undertaken, Dr. Frank E. Robbins, as- sistant to the President, stated re- cently. The site of the work is at Karanis, a buried city in Egypt that flourished between 200 B.C. and 600 A.D. Work on the site was begun by Prof. Francis W. Kelsey, head of the Latin department, who died in 1927. the University's present extensive col- lection. Among the collections were two groups of great importance. A gift in the name of the law class of 1890 by J. W. Anderson, of De- troit, enabled Professor Kelsey to purchase a group of parchments deal- ing with Roman legal history. The other group was from the library of Sultan Abdul Hommad, and was com- posed of Turkish works written on illuminated paper and comparatively well bound. Believing that more could be ac- Agreeing in the main with the statements made by Dean Alice Lloyd concerning "Hell-Week," w o m e n prominent in campus activities when questioned yesterday, also stressed over-fatigue and wasted study-time as the two main objections to the probation period. Although many of them believe that Hell Week serves its only pur- pose in getting the pledges acquainted with one another, the consensus of opinion is that the good does not out- weigh the evil.

It accomplishes nothing constructive, she said. Beatrice DeVine, junior representative on the Board of Di- rectors of the League, in agreement with Miss Robinson, siad that she advocated some pledge duties, not of the nature of hell-week activities. Chi Omega, of which Miss DeVine is a member, has no hell-week, but they do have a system of pledge duties which is very adequate, she said. "One night or two is all right, but beyond that hell-week loses its point," was the opinion of Barbara Suther-
