Auto Ban Change
Action Refused By
Board Of Regents,
Unqualified 'No' Is Answer
To Council's Requested
Modifications Of Ruling
Hope For Change
This Year Ended
Regents Extend Hayden's
Leave And Grant Others;
Hobbs Donates Library
An unqualified "no" was the an-
swer of the Board of Regents to a
petition of the Undergraduate Coun-
cil asking that the automobile ban
be modified to allow students who
have completed five years of college
work to drive automobiles. The de-
cision was reached at the March
meeting of the Board held yesterday
afternoon.
In the petition it was suggested
that the Board of Regents modify
the ban in the light of the prepon-
derant majority registering in favor
of such a move at the campus poll;
the maturity of students who have
reached this stage of their college
work; and the approval of Dean Jo-
seph A. Bursley which the suggestion
received.
No Statement Made
After the meeting the only state-
ment made was that the proposal had
been denied.
The petitions for a modification of
the ruling were first drawn up at the
beginning of December, but were not
presented to the Board until recently
for fear that the Board, seeing that
the petitions had come immediately
after the campus vote, would believe
that the student body was trying to
"stampede" it into action.
It was felt by members of the Un-
dergraduate Council that if the pe-
titions were delayed, and if no pub-
licity was granted them, there would
be a better chance of getting the
Board's acceptance.
The denial leaves the auto ban
situation precisely as it was when
the year began, and members of the
Undergraduate Council, speaking
"unofficially," last night said they
doubted if any other action would
or could be taken this year. They
said that the change they had asked
for was a very minor one, and its re-
fusal indicated that the Board fa-
vored the present ban.
Prof. Tealdi Resigns ,
Little other business was taken up
by the Board at this meeting. The
resignation of Prof. Aubrey Tealdi,
director of the department of land-
scape design, was accepted. It was
stated that he plans to take up resi-
dence in Tuscany, after having been
on the faculty here since 1909.
Prof. William I. Hobbs' gift of his
library of scientific books, number-
ing more than 2,000 volumes, was ac-
cepted by the Board for the geology
department. The books are mainly
in the fields of dynamical and struc-
tural geology., Professor Hobbs, who
is head of the geology department at
present, will retire at the end of the
1934 Summer Session.
New Committee Created
A new committee, to be called the
'Committee on Engineering Research,
was created at the meeting, with the
following members: Regent Junius E.
Beal, President Alexander G. Ruth-
ven, Vice-President Shirley W. Smith,
Dean Herbert C. Sadler, and George
J. Burke, University attorney. Their
duties will be concerned with any re-
search being carried on in the College
of Engineering.
Announcement of a grant of $500
to Dr. Lee R. Rice, of the zoology
department, by the Carnegie Insti-
tute of Washington, D. C., was made
at this time. The sum will be used
for field work on peromyscus this
summer.
Gift Accepted
The Ann Arbor University alum-
nae's gift of $100 to the emergency
fund of the University for needy
women students was accepted.
Sabbatical leaves were granted the
following members of the faculty:
Prof. Leroy Waterman, for the first
semester of 1934-35, for excavation
work in Mesopotamia; Prof. H. M.
Randall, for the same period, to visit
the Centers of research in physics;
Prof. Barbara H. Bartlett, for the
entire year; Prof. Jean Paul Slusser,
of the College of Architecture, for

SAMUEL INSULL
Honor Groups
Called Rackets
By Ohio Dean
Claims That Intercollegiate
Societies Are Robbing
Many Students
EVANSTON, Ill., March 30. - (I')
- Many intercollegiate honorary
groups were classified as "rackets"
today by J. A. Parks of Ohio State
University.
Admitting that there were a num-
ber of good honorary societies, Dean
Parks claimed that many others
existed mainly to mulct money from
students. His talk was before the con-
ference of the national association
of deans and advisers of men.
He estimated each of these so-
cieties took an average of $500 an-
nually from every college campus
where they were organized. The total
contributed for the annual upkeep
of honorary societies Dean Parks
placed at $279,000.
"The men in various parts of the
country have founded intercollegiate
societies nominally to advance some
worthy cause," hesaid, "but inci-
dentally to line their, own pockets
and to provide expense-free trips
about the country for installation
and inspection."
Farley Calls
For Bids On
Mail Routes
Annulled Contracts May
Not Be Rebid; Ann Arbor
On Temporary Route
WASHINGTON, March 30. - (A)-
Moving back toward private trans-
portation of the airmail, the post-
office department today invited bids
for temporary air mail contracts over
21 routes covering 1,800 miles.
Reiterating that companies whose
contracts were annulled could not
bid and that such companies as were
represented at the 1930 conference
must expel those who represented
them at that gathering, Postmaster
General Farley's advertisement re-
established the 45-cent maximum.
rate of pay per airplane mile which
operated prior to the cancellation.
The maximum range is from 41 to 45
cents.
Aviation men withheld comment on
the specifications but postoffice of-
ficials said the demand for air mail
business appears "enormous." Wash-
ington aviation company agents
paced the department building im-
patiently this morning waiting for
the specifications which were issued
at noon.

Government Announces It

Action Puts End To Long
Battle Against His Being
Extradited To U. S.
ISTANBUL, Turkey, March 30. -
(EP) - The announcement that the
Turkish government believes it can
legally turn Samuel Insull over to
American authorities brought to a
climax tonight the 74-year-old fugi-
tive's long battle against extradition.
Insull himself, weary and sick from
court fights in Greece and a subse-
quent dash toward the Black Sea,
was reported to have attempted sui-
cide by trying to pump into the Bos-
phorus. He was restrained, however,
and placed under a heavy police
guard.
The government, acting on an
American request for the arrest of
the former Chicago utilities operator,
decided his case comes under a pro-
vision of the penal code making pos-
sible his arrest for American au-
thorities.
The final scene in the Insull drania
was scheduled for tomorrow.
First, his removal from the dirty
Greek tramp steamer Maiotis, which
brought him here two days ago after
his flight from Greece, to a hotel
under a heavy guard of officers.
Second, verification by the Istanbul
penal court that accusations against
him are neither political nor military
and that the Turkish government
therefore has a legal right to turn
him over to American authorities.
Third, the Turkish government's
exercise of that right.
Industry Is Not
In Any Danger,
Slosson Sates
That further regimentation of in-
dustry will not lead the world into
another period of the Dark Ages, as
predicted by Dr. William A. Wirt, In-
diana educator, was the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday by Dr. Preston W.
Slosson, of the history department.
"The intricate pattern of our so-
ciety requires a certain amount of
regimentation," Prof. Slosson said.
"And we shall probably see a good
deal of experimentation, much of it
costly financially."
Professor Slosson added, however,
that he believes satisfactory adjust-
ments will eventually be worked out.
Another general war, in Professor
Slosson's opinion, is more likely than
a gradual sinking into conditions
paralleling those of the Dark Ages,
but such a war he believes, is not
inevitable. Referring to Dr. Wirt's
charges that certain members of
President Roosevelt's "Brain Trust"
are revolutionaries, Dr. Slosson said
that the records of the "Brain Trust-
ers" are well known. "Some may be
tepid socialists, but they certainly
are not communists.'
Changes Are Made
In Specifications
Of 1934 Foot ball
NEW YORK, March 30. -(1')--A
change in the specifications of the
football for 1934 decreasing the cir-
cumference and making it easier to
handle and forward pass were an-
nounced today by the national rules
committee through Secretary Wil-
liam S. Langford.
The short axis circumference has
been reduced from the old measure-
ment range of 22-22 1-2 inches to
21 1-4-21 1-2. No change was made
in the other specifications as to
weight, air pressure, general shape,
or the long axis circumference.
Coach Harry Kipke believes the
change in the specifications of the
football may help some forward
passers, but that the change was
made chiefly to obtain uniformity.
He said the action taken by the na-
tional rules committee followed a
similar move by the Western Con-
ference.
Approve Sale
Of Beer East
Of Division
Clergymen And Aldermen
Favor Repeal Of Ban In
Statements to Daily
See No Reason For
Discrimination Here
Ordinance Group Decides
To Advise Retention Of
500-Foot Restriction
Unqualified approval of the serving
of beer on the east side was re-
ceived in statements to The Daily
yesterday by two Ann Arbor clergy-
men and three city aldermen.
The Rev. Henry Lewis, pastor of the
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, de-
clared he would "rather see beer sold
on State Street and in the Union than
have students go out of town to get
it.,
"I do not see any reason why beer
should not be sold anywhere in town,"
he said.
"Would Not Discriminate"
The Rev. Lee Klaer, associate pas-
tor of the First Presbyterian Church,
said, "I would not in any case dis-
criminate against a district because
it was a student district. I would
object to paternalism of that sort."
He further attacked the present
arbitrary division line, and said he
favored zoning for residential dis-
tricts, but not the existing discrimi-
natory system.
Of the City Council members, Al.
William Faust stated that he should
like to see beer served in the Union,
and that he has "no objections what-
soever to State Street beer."
"Makes No Difference"
"I don't see that the lifting of the
present geographical boundary will
make any difference in drinking
among students," Ald. Nelson Hoppe
declared, "nor that any undesirable
effect will result. I am in favor of
beer on State Street."
Ald. Max Ktutsch said, "I have
been in favor of serving beer on the
East side all the time, as my actions
on the council have indicated. State
Street merchants are taxpayers and
supporters of the city, and should not
be discriminated against as at pres-
ent."
Following an open hearing last
night, the ordinance committee of
the City Council voted to recommend
to a meeting of the council next
Thursday the retertion of the pres-
ent restriction preventing the sale of
alcoholic liquors within 500 feet of a
school or church, but with the ex-
ception of an unrestricted area to be
set aside downtown, according to Ald.
Leigh J. Young, chairman of the
committee.
The downtown area, which would
be bounded by Ann Street on the
north, Fourth Avenue on the east,
William Street on the south, and
Ashley Street on the west, was adapt-
ed from a proposal made from the
floor at the open meeting.
An earlier amendment to the liquor
control ordinance which would have
reduced the church and school re-
striction from 500 feet to 300 feet
lthroughout the city had already
passed two readings, but was rejected
following the hearing at which those
present were obviously hostile toward
it.
The recent ruling on the part of
the State Liquor Control Commission
that no municipality can alter the 2
a.m. closing provision was discussed
at the committee meeting, but no
action was taken.
Collegiate
Program For
Benefit Play
Is Announced
All Nations Review Will
Have Co-Operation Of
Campus Organizations
The program for the "All Nations
Review," which is to be presented by
the foreign students of the University
Tuesday night, for the joint benefit
of the Foreign Students Scholarship
Fund and the Kiwanis fund for child
welfare work, was announced yes-
terday by Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson,
counsellor to foreign students, who
is directing the pageant.
Due to the interest taken in the
funds that will benefit from the
program and in the foreign students
themselves, several campus organiza-
tions are co-operating with the di-
rector. Play Production is contribut-
ing Paul Auble's marionette play,
"Death Among the Daisies." The
Physical Education department will
present a pantomimic dance entitled
"CWA Workers." The Girls Glee
Club, the Hoyer Studio, and the Rus-
sian Cathedral1Choir are among other
co-operating organizations.
Since the production is under the
direction of a representative of the
University, Professor March, curator
of oriental art, has been able to allow
the Chinese properties from the mu-
seum to be displayed as a part of
the decorations for the Chinese set.
Thus, by a curious circumstance, the
Chinese young people will be using]
furniture and art treasures given to
the University by the old Emperor of
China over 50 years ago.
Professor Nelson says that, as in
the Magic Carpet several years ago,
there will be a number of exotic pic-
tures of foreign life.
The set which was executed by
James Doll will provide a rich back-
ground for the colorful costuming in
the foreign scenes. Professor Nelson
speaks enthusiastically for it and the
scrolls for the Chinese and Japanese
scenes which were designed and
painted by Mrs. Everett Brown, a
local artist of recognized distinction.
Will Issue Checks
To FERA Workers
Students employed by the FERA on
University projects are to receive
their March pay checks next week
according to Harold Anderson of the
buildings and grounds department,
who has charge of FERA finances on
the University.
Checks will first be issued on
Thursday, April 5 from 8 a.m. to 9
p.m., on Friday, April 6, from 8 a.m.
to 9.m. and on Saturday, April 7
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It was stated
that the office expects to pay off
checks on an average of two minutes
per person. However, if they run
ahead of schedule the office hours
will be shortened somewhat on Fri-
day.
The total number of students now
being aided by the FERA is approxi-
mately 742. The pay checks will
amount to about $10,145 for the
month of March, an average of about
$350 a day.
Michigan Qualifies Eight
Men For Finals In National
Wherein A Note Is
Sent From One Big
Prexy To Another
As one president to another, or, in
other words, Robert Saltzstein, union
head, is at it again. The second presi-
dent is none other than Franklin D.
Roosevelt who, incidentally, is an en-
tirely innocent party to the following
tale.
Saltzstein's latest idea, naturally in
connection with the forthcoming
Union Opera, is that the venture is
an example of the renewed economic
health of the country and, as such,
is indirectly a part of President
Roosevelt's recovery program. This
idea is supported by the fact that the
opera died in 1929, the year the de-
pression began, and is being revived
in 1934, the year it is supposed to
have ended.
Accordingly, Saltzstein drafted a
letter to Stephen T. Early, secretary
to the President, requesting a brief
statement from Mr. Roosevelt con-
veying his good wishes to the opera
of 1934. No reply has been received
to date, but hopes still run high in
the center of men's activities.
Detroit Beats

Goodfellow's Lone Goal1
Gives Red Wings Right
To Enter Playoffs
DETROIT, March 30-- (Special)1
- Detroit's Red Wings earned the
right to meet the winner of the Chi-
cago-Montreal Maroon game, Sunday
in the Stanley Cup playoffs, when
Ebbie Goodfellow scored the only
goal of a hard fought struggle to de-!
feat the Toronto Maple Leafs, sto-i
night 1-0 at Olympia.
Goodfellow scored at 15:03 of the
first period after Sorrell and Lewis'
had carried the puck to the Toronto
net, while Joe Primeau of the Leafs
was in the penalty box.
Throughout the remainder of the
game, the Leafs put on the pressure
but Detroit wAs playing inspired
hockey after its sorry showing in the
last two games.
Toronto's first string line of Prim-,
eau, Jackson, and Conacher had
Cude, Detroit goalie, working des-,
perately to avert tallies during the
second period.
In the last five minutes the Leafs
sent five men down the ice andi
stormed the Red Wings net in a
vain attempt to score, as the Wings,
with victory and the playoffs in sight,
jammed the goal.
Detroit's third string front line, re-
cruited from the Olympics, played!
brilliant hockey in their first title
game.

J. Medica Of Washington
Sets A New Record For
1,500-Meter Swim
Drysdale, Degener
Leaders In Events
Jim Cristy Takes Second
Place To Medica In The
1,500-Meter Race
Eight Varsity swimmers qual-
ified last night for the finals of
the N ati onal Intercollegiate
Swimming Meet to be held to-
night in Columbus, 0.
The Michigan qualifiers were
as follows: Jim Cristy, Tex Rob-
ertson, Bob Lawrence, Taylor
Drysdale, Ogden Dalrymple, Bob
Renner, and Dick Degener, and
Derland Johnston, divers.
COLUMBTQS, O., March 30 -()-
A bespectacled youngster from the
University of Washington, Jack Me-
dica, shattered a pair of National In-
tercollegiate Athletic Association
swimming records here today in the
preliminary events in the eleventh
annual N.C.A.A. championships.
Despite the sensational work of the
Seattle sophomore, his individual ef-
forts were overshadowed by the well-
balanced teamwork of the University
of Michigan and the University of
Southern California, who each placed
eight men in the field events tomor-
row night.
Two other N.C.A.A. marks went by
the board and one National Intercol-
legiate mark was tied. An N.C.A.A.
mark can be broken or made in the
championship meet, while an Inter-
collegiate may be set in any meet
participated in by N.C.A.A. schools.
Walter Spence, of Rutgers, and the
300-yard medley team from Yale also
entered the record book.
Only one event, the 1,500-meter
swim, was finished today, with Medica
gathering in first place for Wash-
ington. Michigan took four points by
virtue of second and fourth place by
Cristy and Lawrence, and the Navy
took down two markers with third
position.
Michigan is the slight favorite to
win the crown now held by North-
western University, which succeeded
in qualifying only four men along
with the Navy.
The Wolverines are almost certain
of first place in the high diving
through the efforts of Dick Degener,
defending champion, who outclassed
a field of 21 to easily win first place
among the six qualifiers. Johnson,
another Michigan man, is included
in the rema'ning five qualifiers. The
Ann Arbor team also placed two men
in the 440-yard free style, Robertson
and Cristy.

Piano-And-Band Number Will
Feature Monday Band Concert,
Although the director of the Var-
sity Band is in New York City and
thus will not be able to hear the
first public performance of his new
arrangement of Liszt's famous "Hun-
garian Fantasy," the band will pre-
sent it at 8:15 p.m. Monday in Hill
Auditorium, under the baton of the
conductor's brother.
Prof. Nicholas D. Falcone will be
supplanted on the conductor's plat-
form by his younger brother Leon-
ard, director of the Michigan State
College Military Band and a grad-
uage of the University of Michigan
School of Music. The friendly rivalry
of the two brothers, both noted mu-
sicians of Italian origin, has been
carried out for years on both the
football field and the concert stage,
Professor Falcone's brother had
previously transcribed Borghi's inter-
esting "Piano Concerto in D Major"
for piano and military band, and the
M.S.C. and Michigan bands are the
only bands ever to have played it.
It was the striking success of this
number as presented by the Varsity
Band last year that led the director
to include the Liszt transcription in
Monday night's program.
The soloist on the band's program,
playing the "Fantasy," will be Prof.
Joseph Brinkman, celebrated member
of the School of Music faculty and
of the School of Music Trio. He was
also the soloist on the occasion of the
Borghi concerto's premiere last year.
The remainder of the band's Mon-
day program, which is part of the
