XLIV No. 138 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1934 PRICE FIVE CEN Homecoming Will Present Many Events Fourth Annual' Program Will Be Presented May 11, 12, And 13 Letters To Parents Of Students Mailed Exhibitions, Dances, Open Houses, Athletic Events, Banquet Are Featured The complete program of events for Michigan's Fourth Annual Spring Homecoming, to be held May 11, 12, and 13, was announced yesterday by Edward W. McCormick, '34, general chairman. Exhibitions, tours of the' campus, open house, dances, several athletic events, and the family ban- quet will be among features of the three-day event. Letters are being sent out at pres- et to parents 'of all University stu- dents urging them to come to Ann Arbor for homecoming ceremonies. In addition, a special invitation from President Alexander G. Ruthven is included. Ruthven Cites Service In his message, President Ruthven points out that parents and the Uni- versity are working toward the same objective - the education of their children and students - and conse- quently the University is eager to have mothers and fathers see Michigan in operation. Homecoming differs from all other campus events for visitors in that it gives them an opportunity to see the University as it actually is while work is going on, and they may at-' tend classes if they desire, McCormick said. Julie Kane, '35, assistant chairman, announced that active support from all sorority and independent women will be solicited this year to insure the success of the plans. How this will be worked in has not been definitely set- tied yet, she said, but will be an- nounced after vacation. New Ceremony Expected It is expected that the ceremony which the Undergraduate Council plans for seniors to replace Swingout will also be held this weekend. The' dates of Homecoming also coincide with those of the annual May Fes-i tival, which is a carrying out of the general policy of the homecoming committee this year - to make the event serve as a general culmina-1 tion of all University activities. Cane Day, annual date on which graduating students carry canes as signs of their position, will probably be May 13. 1 Registration of weekend visitors will take place in the Union, League, and University Museum. Nearly every unit of the University will be open to inspection by guests on Friday and Saturday, beginning, on Friday with the Museum, College of Architecture, University High School and Elementary School, Fine Arts Library, Legal Research Library, Union, League, College of Engineer- ing, the Main Library, the Intramural Building, and the Students Publica- tions Building. Dances Are Planned Friday afternoon a Physics Build-1 ing exhibit, Clements Library, the May Festival, a tennis match and baseball game, and a demonstration ceremony by the Reserve Officers Training Corps are on the program. That evening Angell Hall Observatory will be open, there will be further; programs of the May Festival, and dances at the Union and Granger's Similar schedules have been mapped for Saturday and Sunday, with a special Mother's Day services on the latter, as well as a reception by President and Mrs. Ruthven. Other members of the general com- mittee in charge of the plans for, this years' homecoming are as fol- lows: President Ruthven, honorary chairman; Lawrence Clayton, '35, secretary of the committee; Dean Alice Lloyd and Dean Joseph A. Burs- ley, representing the administration; Dr. Charles A. Sink, the School of Music; Miss Ethel McCormick, wom- en's social director; Grace Mayer, '34, for the League; Robert A.

I Find American Aviator Alive In Jungle Month After Crash CALI, Columbia, April 5. - (/') - Primitive Indians searching for treas- ure found Newton C. Marshall, of Mil- waukee, alive today, the sole survivor of an airplane accident March 10 in the Bolivia-Valle Department which took a toll of five lives, an official an- nouncement said. Weak and ill, Marshall, who had been the plane's pilot, had wandered for weeks through the dense jungles of that mountainous region. Escaping with his life from the wrecked plane, Marshall was saved just in time from a horrible death in the "jungle hell" from which few white menhave ever emerged alive. Marshall was almost completely ex- hausted and found it almost impos- sible to talk when he was located by a tribe of Indians called the Guaqueros, famed for the use of poison arrows in years gone by. The Scadta Airline, which owned the plane, rushed a physician and nurse from Cali aboard a special plane and two employees of the company were sent from Bogota to the region where Marshall was reported located. Identification was officially made, the announcement stated, through papers and a passport which Mar- shall was carrying. The Choco-Pacific Co., one of the largest platinum producers in the world, of which Marshall was man- ager, was notified immediately and a group of officials left at once for the Bolivar Department to meet him. Considerable confusion was caused tonight by the official statement that five bodies had been found in the wreck. At the time of the accident, the Scadta Co. had said that the plane had carried but four people, Marshall, Capt. Walter Geck, Julio Zuniga, a government employe, and an uniden- tified German. Reports from the region stated that the planehwas not completely destroyed and that it contained the gold cargo which had been shipped in it, destined for the government mint in Medellin. When it crashed, the plane was en route from Quibdo to Cartago over the great Choco mining area where gold and platinum are often trans- ported by air. , May Frstival Brin s Man Artists He R o s a Pon elle, Lucr Bori, An Paul Altho y re ezia Duse Auto Workers Walk Out In Detroit Plant American Record In Medley Swin Drysdale Breaks Motor Products Co Refuses Wage Inc mpany crease; Will Perf >rm In Series Hawks Easily Defeat Wings Second Time 4-1 Victory Brings Chicago Close To World Title And StanleyCup DETROIT, April 5.-Chicago's bird of prey, the Blackhawks, were in full flight toward a world's hockey title tonight as they routed Detroit's fal- tering Red Wings 4 to 1 in their Stan- ley Cup series. Chicago scored in the opening period and then added three goals in the final frame as the Wings desperately attempted to draw up on even terms with their opponents. After the second Chicago score the Wings sent five men down the ice, but Gottselig took the puck and passed to Couture who put it through Cude cleanly at 5:34 in the third pe- riodforte .invaders t y.tall. The Wings again; sent five men down, and again Gottselig stole the puck, skated down on Cude and scored without difficulty at 18:02, the Wing goalie never having a chance to save. All through the game Chuck Gar- diner of Chicago showed why he is regarded as the premier goalie of the league. He was making impossible stops time after time, especially dur- ing the second period when the Wings had him doing everything but hand- springs in the goal mouth. Detroit has apparently not regained the form which they showed against Toronto last Friday, their lack of timing on passes showing up badly when they got inside the Chicago blue line. The two teams will journey to Chi- cago where they will play the third game of the series Sunday night, with the Hawks an odds on favorite to win. Patrolman Weil Takes Own Life As Health Fails Patrolman Oscar Weil, 35 years old, last night committed suicide at his home, 531 Second Avenue. Reported to have been suffering for several years from ill health, and failing to recover from an operation of last year, Weil, who has been with the Ann Arbor police department seven years, shothimself at 10 p.m. just before he was to have gone on duty. About a month ago, he was trans- ferred from scout car service by Chief Lewis Fohey, to allow him to recup- erate from his illness. He was termed by Chief Fohey "the best man on the staff." Weil leaves a wife and two children, 8 and 12 years old. No note was found. Victim Is Paid For Trouble By Bandit DETROIT, April 5 -(M)- Cullen Landis, a movie actor of the silent days, pulled his car up to a stoplight Wednesday. He had $200 in his pocket and was anticipating a trip to Florida. Suddenly a hard-faced youth jumped on the running board, thrust a pistol in his side, and ordered him fn Ariw nif, ,n.. n an .rr A mnn A 'f Stylish Seniors To Tote Straight Sticks For Cane Ceremony Fashion is to be the keynote for the class of '34! The cane committee has decided to abolish the old-fashioned curved handle cane and adopt the stylish straight stick, of black ebony with an ivory handle. Below the handle is a sterling silver ring with the class numerals and a block M. No one seems to know when the tradition began that seniors should carry canes as a mark of distinction. It probably dates back to the days' when class rivalry was the vogue. After swingout the juniors and sen- iors often were engaged in terrific battles. These canes might have been used for protection against the jun- iors. Also it was not uncommon to" see a senior with his best girl on one arm and the cane on the other go parading down State Street the Sunday after Swingout. With the abolition of swingout the date for the event has not been de- cided. It will probably be the week- end of May 12, as swingout was to have been scheduled for May 11. Orders for the canes are being taken at Burr, Patterson and Auld, and will not be accepted later than April 20. Senate Refuses Plan To Raise Income Taxes Lafollette Brought Issue, With Proposed Increase' Of Two Per Cen WASHINGTON, April 5-() - The Senate decided today against lifting the income tax rate a little higher all along the line. The issue, fought over every time a tax bill comes before Congress, was brought by Senator LaFollette (Rep., Wis.) He sought to raise the normal income tax rate from 4 per cent, as provided in the House bill that was before the Senate, to 6 per cent and hoist the surtax rates. Majority Leader Opposed The majority leader and Demo- cratic members of the Senate finance committee opposed the proposal. Sen- ators Norris (Rep., Neb.) and Long (Dem., La.) joined Lafollette in ad- vocating it. They argued the high emergency expenditures and the growing deficit created a need for more taxes. Opponents said that higher taxes might hinder recovery. Between directing the tax bill through the Senate, the finance com- mittee listened to the arguments of Senator Long against the confirma- tion of D. D. Moore as internal reve- nue collector at New Orleans. There was more testimony about race tracks and gambling in New Or- leans during the course of which Long invited a witness to meet him out- side. There was no meeting, how- ever, although the witness indicated he was not averse. Bank Bill Passed The Senate banking committee worked on the new stock regulation bill after listening to complaints Samuel Untermeyer, an advocate of stock exchange regulation. had Chicago Symphony Orchestra To Play Festival To Be Divided In Six Concerts; Four In Evening, Two Matinees The sixconcerts of the May Fes- tival, to be given May 9, 10, 11, and 12, will consist of four evening pro- grams and two matinees, in which will be utilized the artistic resources of many distinguished soloists and great musical organizatiions. The six programs will all differ in character materially, each being a unit in itself, and at the same time the six togetheij will constitute a larger general unit, thus making it possible for music, lovers to hear all or some of the concerts, without du- plication or excessiv" similarity. Three From Metropolitan Representing the Metropolitan Opera Associationof New York will be Rosa Ponselle and Lucrezia Bori, sopranos, and Paul Althouse, tenor. Miss Ponselle will sing several fa- vorite arias at te openingconcert Wednesday night, while Miss Bori will appear in a similar capacity Fri- day night. Mr. Althouse will be heard twice, on Thursday evening, when he will sing the tenor role of Haydn's "Seasons," and on Saturday night when he will appear in the American premiere of Robert Heger's "Song of Peace." Coe Glade, contralto, and Chase Baromeo, bass, represent the Chicago Civil Opera Association. Miss Glade will be heard in the choral finale of Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" Saturday afternoon, and again that same evening in the "Song of Peace." Mr. Baromeo will also be heard twice, singing in the "Seasons" and "Song of Peace." .,. A. Arthur Hackett in "Ninth" Jeanette Vreeland, American con- cert and oratorio singer of distinc- tion, will be heard in the "Seasons," in the Beethoven "Ninth," and in the "Song of Peace," while Arthur Hack- ett, famed American tenor, will sing that role in the "Ninth." Theodore Webb, distinguished baritone, will Inake his Ann Arbor debut also in the "Ninth." Guila Bustabo, young American violinist, will appear in solo numbers Friday afternoon, while Mischa Levit- zki will play a piano concerto with the Chicago Symphdny Orchestra on Thursday night. Mabel Ross Rhead is the competent performer who will ac- company the chorus at the piano, while Palmer Christian will play the organ parts in several of the pro- grams. The University Choral Union of 300 voices, under Earl V. Moore, will ap- pear in three concerts, and the Young People's Festival Chorus of 400 chil- dren will be heard in the Friday after- noon program.

Army Aviator Meets Death In Airplane Crash Veteran Pilot Cracks Into Hill Near Altoona In A Pursuit Plane ALTOONA, Pa., April 5. --(W)- Second Lieut. John Leland McAlister of Langley Field, Va., crashed into the side of a hill in his army pur- suit plane late today and was killed. A log found in the clothing of his badly mangled body showed the army officer left Langley Field early this morning, apparently enroute for Cleveland, landed at Bowling Field, left there at 2:15 p.m. and made a stop at Middletown, Pa., at 3 p.m. A newspaper clipping in his pocket showed that about two weeks ago McAlister had made a forced landing at Marion, Ohio, in an army bomb- ing plane. There also was a letter from Mrs. Charles H. Isally of Ma- 1,000 Men Strike Strike Threatened By Tool Employes Ford Says His Company Is Operating Profitably Under New Wage Rates DETROIT, April 5 - OP) - A walk- out in one automotive parts plant, threat of another walkout by tool and die makers in job plants, con- tinued efforts by the national auto- mobile labor board to end a strike in one automobile company's plant, and a reiteration by Henry Ford of his belief that rising prices will han- dicap recovery were developments to- day in the automobile labor situa- tion. The strike was in the Mack Ave. plant of the Motor Products Co., where labor leaders said 1,000 men had walked out because wage increas- es had been refused. At almost the same time Matthew Smith, general secretary of the Me- chanics Educational Society, said tool and die makers employed in job shopsdwould take a strike vote on Saturday unless wage increases are agreed to. Meanwhile at Racine, Wis., the automobile labor board was in its third day of hearings on the strike of 4,600 workers of the Nash Motors Co. affiliates. -Ford's statement of yesterday that his company was operating profitably under present materials prices and increased wage rates and had no in- tention of increasing car prices brought no reply from his chief com- petitors in the low-priced field who have raised retail prices. Neither was any comment forth- coming on the suggestion in trade cir- cles that the Ford statement indi- cated a more determined competition for leadership in the low priced car field. '34 Hopwoods Entry Date Set ForApril 18 Poetry, E s s a y, Fiction, And Dramatic Prizes Are Among Awards The final date for submitting man- uscripts in the 1933-34 Avery and Jule Hopwood Awards contest has been set at April 18, at which time they will be turned over to the judges. Prizes are divided into two fields, known as the major and minor awards and embracing the divisions of drama, essay, fiction, and poetry in each group. Eligibility for the ma- jor awards is confined to senior and graduate students, but all students meeting the general qualifications of the contest are eligible for minor awards. All undergraduates regularly en- rolled in the University carrying at least 12 hours of "C" grade work may be competitors for the minor awards provided they are taking at least one course in composition in the journalism or English depart- ments. Earlier in the semester a special contest was held for fresh- men, although members of this class are eligible for the minor competi- tion. The contest was made possible by the bequest in 1928 of one-fifth of the estate of the late Avery Hopwood, '05, prominent American dramatist, to the University. The first Hop- wood contest was held in 1930-31. In the three years since the com- mencement of the awards, $35,600 has been distributed in prize money. In the major group not more than four awards of $2,000 each are offered. They are distributed among the vari- ous divisions of the group as the judgment of the committee in charge shall see fit. In the minor awards, two prizes of $250 each are offered to two students in each of the divisions of drama, essay, fiction, and poetry. Members of the Committee on the Hopwood Awards this year are Pro- fessors Roy W. Cowden, Howard Mumford Jones, Louis A. Strauss, and Erich A. Walter of the English de- partment and Prof. DeWitt H. Parker of the philosophy department. heps in nast vears have included -- r Keeps City; Sale 500-Foot Rule For Allows Unrestricted Downtown Auto Ban Raised For Spring Vacation Today The Regents' regulation against driving automobiles will be raised for Spring Vacation at noon today and will go into effect again at 8 a.m., Monday, April 16, Walter B. Rea, assistant to the dean of students, has announced. Council Passes Distance Clause Of Liquor Bill The city Common Council last night passed an amendment to the distance clause of the city liquor or- dinance. Upon motion of Alderman Leigh Young, of the ordinancercommittee, the council'ruled that no liquor dis- pensary, selling for consumption on the premises, may be within 500 feet of church or school property, used as such, except for the area included between Ann, Ashley, Fourth, and Williams 'streets, where no restric- tions whatsoever will be operative. Their opposition was based on the opinion that the area should be ex- tended to Catherine from Ann to' allow places in the Wurster Build- ing, which is near the Jones School, to remain open. A special adjournment meeting was called for Monday night, April 9, in order to consider applications for beer licenses which have been received by the council. The council meeting Monday will be preceded by a meet- ing of the Bond and License Com- mittee, at 7:30 p.m., to consider the recommendations to be offered to the council.' No action was taken, or is expected, on the State Liquor Control Com- mission's ruling that the city has no right to alter the state 2 a.m. clos- ing. The council expressed no intention of rescinding its midnight closing, and plans to ignore the commission's ruling altogether. Note was taken, however, of a letter from Frank A. Picard, chairman of the commis- sion, in which he urged the council to exercise discrimination in the granting of licenses, and called upon the council to help "eradicate beer- gardens masquerading as restau- rants." Permission was granted to the po- lice department to purchase two new Ford V-8's, to replace two cars now in service as scout cars. Henry S. Platt will make the sale with a bid of $599 apiece. This will be the last meeting for four retiring members, Aldermen Hol- lands, Kurtz, Thomas, and Faust. Arms Question Lies With U. S., Britain States Wolverines, N.Y.A.C. Battle For A.A.U. T4 Title At Columbus T Spence Establishes New Sprint Record Michigan Ace Is Second In Backstroke Finals; World Mark Shattered OHIO STATE NATATORIUM, CO- LUMBUS, April 5-(IP)-A new Amer- ican record in the 300-yard medley swim and a new meet record in the 100-yard free style were set today in the first qualifying round of the na- tional A.A.U. swimming champion- ship. Taylor Drysdale of the University of Michigan clipped a full second off Buster Crabbe's old mark for the 300- yard medley swim when he won the final heat of the afternoon in the remarkable time of 3 minutes, 35.4 seconds. Crabbe's mark was made in the Olympic tryouts at New Ha- ven, Conn., in 1932. The meet record was cracked in the 100-yard free style by Walter Spence of Rutgers, wearing the col- ors of the New York Athletic Club. Spence turned in a time of 51.1 sec- onds, one-tenth of a second slower than Johnny Weismuller's world rec- ord. The old meet mark of 51.8 sec- onds was made several years ago by Walter Lauffer. From the results of the first four qualifying events, the New York A. C. and the University of Michigan, win- ner and runner-up respectively in last year's championship, gave evi- dence they again would fight it out for the title. The Wolverines placed Drysdale in the 150-yard backstroke in which the New Yorkers had no representa- tive. However, in the 100-yard free style, New York has Walter Spence, Pick and Leonard Spence, while Michigan must rely solely on Dalrymple. Degener, Johnston, and Fehsenfeld will carry the Michigan colors in the lowboard diving, another event in which the N.Y.A.C. is not represented. In the 300-yard medley swim, Drys- dale, fresh with his new American record, will be forced to beat Wal- lace and Leonard Spence if he splash- es in first for the Wolverines BULLETIN Russians, Japanese, And French Raise Objections To Intervention Plan LONDON, April 5- (P)-The stand that the United States would take if an attempt were- made to punish a European violator of a disarmament treaty was the concern today of Brit- ish and League of Nations diplomats who conferred with American Am- bassador Norman H. Davis. Before Great Britain is willing to commit herself on proposals for pun- itive military and economic action she is interested in knowing that the United States would at least not in- terfere. Any hope that a French demand for such guarantees will be univer- sally acceptable was regarded as fu- tile, but on the other hand it was not clear how sanctions could otherwise be applied. If an attempt were made to apply them only in Western Europe, it was evneted thatiRussia's neighhnr OHIO STATE NATATORIUM, CO- LUMBUS, 0., April 5-- Al Vande Weghe, of the Newark Athletic Club, set a new world mark in the finals of the 150-yard backstroke in defeating Taylor Drysdale of Michigan, who finished second. The winning time of 1:36.9 clipped .5 second from the former mark set by George Kojac in 1932. Danny Zehr, Ft. Wayne, Ind., the defending cham- pion, finished fourth. Ogden Dalrymple, Michigan's only representative in the 100-yard free- style finals, failed to place as Walter Spence of the New York A. C. won and his team mate, Peter Pick finished third to keep the club in the running for the team title. Shields Backed For Nomination To Senatorship WASHINGTON, April 5-(Special) -Edmund C. Shields, regent of the University of Michigan, was men- tioned as a candidate for the United States Senate at a dinner given here today by Michigan's 10 democratic congressmen for Horatio J. Abbott, national committeeman from Mich- igan, and Mr. Shields. Regent Shields refused to make any comment on the matter, but Mr. Ab- bott, after the dinner, said that he believed Regent Shields would un- doubtedly be a candidate. Mr. Abbott favors giving the nom- ination to Regent Shields, as do other out-state congressmen, but many of the Detroit congressmen appear to
