XLIV No. 151 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1934 One Killed In French Riots; Fear Trouble M a n y Officers, Civilians Wounded In Fighting On Eve Of 'Red May Day, 40,000 Troops And Police Guard Paris Government Prepares To Meet Communist Strike With Stern Measures PARIS, April 30. - )- A police- man was killed and many officers and civilians were wounded tonight in po- litical rioting in France on the eve of "Red May day." Grave fears were held of possible outbreaks in Paris where 10,000 troops and 30,000 police guarded the capital as the government prepared to deal sternly with a communist general strike tomorrow. Fierce fighting broke out at An- gers when a Leftist mob gathered out- side a hall to protest a meeting of a Republican group sympathetic to the Doumergue government. Numbers were injured in hand-to- hand fighting and a policeman died of his injuries soon afterwards in a hospital. A report thata revolutionary plot aimed at six European capitals was uncovered in raids Sunday in Brus- sels and Malines put police here on the alert. Leftists numbering 400, incensed tonight at Mantes, not far from Paris, over a close election Sunday, rioted and wounded a priest before being. dispersed by gendarmes. Similar dis- orders occurred there last night be- cause of the defeat of the "anti- Fascist" candidate in a bye-election. Three youths who said they were venting their hate for "the middle class" by stoning automobiles were arrested in Compiegne. This capital, not yet recovered from the sanguinary February street riots and seething with political dis- content, resembled a war camp ready to make good Premier Doumergue's determination to "crush any revolu- tionary movement at the outset" which might, he said, "lead to armed invasion." Heavy detachments of soldiers con- trolled their "red wing" of factory suburbs, notorious hotbeds of con- spiracy; bristling stacks of bayoneted rifles filled the broad Champs de Mars. Farm Hand Is Victim Of Fatal Knifing Sunday Workman, 43, Is Stabbed ByAssociate, 65, After Drinking Party "He milk my cow, he boss me, he bother me, and I kill him" was the simple explanation given to police yesterday by Bill Jasinska, 65-year- old Lithuanian farm hand, for his fatal stabbing of another workman after a drinking party Sunday night at a dairy farm just outside of Man- chester. Jasinska, held in the county jail on a first degree murder charge, probably will be arraigned in justice and circuit courts today. He had nursed a grudge against his victim, Vincent Demeskes, 43 years old, ever since Demeskes had been made his "straw boss" by Vincent Lepshitz, owner of the farm. Jasinska had been working at the farm three years before Demeskes came. Shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday, Ja- sinska, who had been drinking, walked out of the house and, before several friends and visitors, walked up to Demeskes and stabbed him through the heart with a pocket- knife. Death came about six min- utes later. After the stabbing Peter J. Schavo, a visitor from Detroit, knocked the killer down and took his knife away. Jasinska then got up and attempted to flee, but was quickly brought back by others, who told him Demeskes wasn't badly hurt. rr atfl.,. ,n4.i is, niryaA -i nl y A., Pollock Believes Hitler To Have Support Of All German Nation "It is difficult for anyone to claim that Hitler does not have the over- whelming support of the German people," Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department says in his new pamphlet, German Election Administration, just published by' the Columbia University Press. Professor Pollock bases his state- ment on the result of the election of Nov. 12, 1933, when the people voted on a new Reichstag and on a refer- endumconcerningthepolicy of the Hitler government. In the voting 39,655,212 people out of 43,053,212 voting supported the National So- cialists, while on the referendum 40,- 632,628 supported the government and 2,101,191 opposed. Commenting on the election, Pro- fessor Pollock states, "Even though there was no doubt concerning the outcome of the election, the small percentage of abstentation and dis- sent were a great tribute to the idealology and political strategy of the National Socialist government. Such success has never met the ef- forts of any other government in Germany.- "The voters, of course, were not able to pass on the qualifications of each candidate for Parliament, but they were not able to do this even before the Hitler revolution. In this election, however, their rights of pro- portionality were sacrificed to the unification and regeneration of the' Reich. The voting process itself wass 'rigged' to the extent that the voters could say only 'yes' or 'no,' but the casting and counting of the votes took place quite as usualrwithout vio- lence or fraud. The great pressure which was put upon the voters to go to the polls did not extend to the voting process itself. "Even a dictator has felt the need of popular favor. As Hitler said be- fore his accession to power: 'I can govern without the support of the Reichstag but not without the sup- port of the people.' "Now that the democratic govern- ment has disappeared in Germany, elections are not so important. But it is interesting to find that they have been utilized by a dictatorship and that their administration has at least continued to be smooth, economical, and efficient. Good election admin- istration has served both a demo- cratic and an autocratic master." Plan To Give 1 'Hero's Life' HereMay 12 Chicago Symphony Will' Include Composition By Strauss In Program Ann Arbor concert-goers will have the opportunity to hear for the first time at the May Festival "Ein Hel- denlebeh" (Hero's Life) by Strauss when it is presented by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, under the di- rection of Dr. Frederick Stock, at the Saturday afternoon concert, May 12. This work has attracted great at- tention wherever it has been played and its inclusion in this season's Fes- tival program will give the patrons an interesting and unique opportunity of hearing a much talked about compo- sition. Romain Rolland, the great French literary figure, writing from Paris in 1908 said of "Ein Heldenleben": "At its performance in Germany, I saw people tremble as they listened to it, and some rose up suddenly and made violent gestures quite uncon- sciously. I myself had a strange feeling of giddiness, as if an ocean had been upheaved, and I thought that for the first time in 30 years, Germany had found a sort of vic- tory." The work is characterized, by its power of securing a wealth of im- pression by the amazing and revolu- tionary yet graphic means of expres- sion employed bythe composer. Like all the works of art which have pro- ceeded beyond the limitations which their period imposed upon them, "Ein Heldenleben" shocked the ears of the public that heard it in its first pre- sentation. Strauss, like Wagner and Oscar Wilde, became the "Enfant Terrible" of his age by virtue of this piece. Critics today maintain, in agree- ment with Rolland, that "Ein Held- enleben" with its musical picture of heroic nature, the bickering of its enemies, the battle with life, and the triumph of the hero, ranks as the greatest of modern symphonic tone poems. One critic has said that "Its ex- citing episodes, the richness of its instrumentation, its high peaks of emotional intensity, and its infinite contrasts satisfy completely the mod- ern demands for color, movement, and vitality in music." Also to be heard in the Saturday afternoon concert are the Beethoven Overture to "Coriolanus," played by the orchestra; and the famous Bee- thoven "Ninth Symphony," with Jeanette Vreeland, Coe Glade, Arthur Hacket, and Theodore Webb as solo- ists. Final Campus Sale Of 'Ensian Today The last campus sale of the 1934 Michiganensian will be held today and Wednesday at important points on the campus. The price of the 'En- sian at this sale will be $5. The 'Ensian will be ready for dis- tribution next week, according to an announcement made yesterday and all students who have not yet made Says Economic Patriotism Kills Social Advance, Reactionary Nationalism In Middle-Europe Object Of Dr. Palyi's Attack Declaring that the inevitable re- sults of economic nationalism of the type now extant in middle-Europe is the strangulation of social progress, Dr. Melchior Palyi, formerly high in official and academic circles in Ger- many, and now visiting professor of economics at the University of Chi- cago, presented a critique of European nationalism in a University lecture yesterday afternoon, claiming that the protection of vested interests favored by a systeme of nationalism shifts the economic burdens on the should- ers of the laborer and taxpayer. The economist made a sharp dis- tinction between the nationalism of England and the United States, which he termed "mercantilism," and the nationalism of the countries in mid- dle-Europe - Poland, Germany, Aus- tria, Italy,, and Hungary -- where, he declared the most "mortal" type of non-parliamentary policy exists. A dramatic change in the history of the world is resulting from the reactionary nationalism of Middle- European countries, Dr. Palyi assert- ed. The most civilized nations, which have formerly been regarded as the advance outposts of civilization are now giving up the ideals of social progress, to embrace a policy of con- scious inhibition of industry and a (Continued on Page 6) Groesbeck Is Undecided 'On Gubernatorial Race DETROIT, April 30.-- VP)- Alex J. Groesbeck announced today he is "considering running for governor." He will make an announcement either entering the race or definitely stating he will not be a candidate within a short time. "The whole question is whether I can help solve the problems confronting the state, and, of course, whether I wish to or can afford to re-enter policy," Groesbeck said. ToAct Today OnSubstitute For Swingout March Ending At Library Is Proposed To Senate Committed By Council No Date Suggested For New Function Singing, Talks On Part Of Senior Class Members May Feature Event A march in caps and gowns, end- ing before the Main Library, will be proposed as a substitute for Swing- out to the Senate Committee on Stu- dent Affairs when it meets today. This action was decided yesterday at a meeting of the Undergraduate Coun- cil, which had been given until today by the Senate Committee to submit a substitute plan. No date has beeh set for the func- tion as yet, as the Council decided to wait and see whether its plan received the approval of te Senate body be- fore working outthe details. If the march is held, however, it will be in the afternoon. Band May Aid After assembling before the library, there will1be a session devoted to sing- ing, at which it is proposed to ask for the services of the Varsity Band. At the present time it is thought pos- sible that some members of the sen- ior class will be called upon for speeches. It is also possible that the awarding of "M" blankets will occur at this time. These awards now take place at Lantern Night. The action of the Council was in direct opposition to the recommenda- tion of the committee which the Council had appointed to study the problem. The committee reported that the entire affair be discontinued, for this year at least. Members of the committee, in mak- ing their report to the Council, said they felt there was little point in marching without doing anything. No man on-the- acultr the- committee felt, would be likely to give an ad- dress, and without this the march, according to committee members, was rather futile. 'Desire To Continue' Council members, however, claimed that there was a genuine desire upon the part of the graduating class to continue the function, whether it was called Swingout or not, and regard- less of whether or not anyone spoke. These members stated that the pur- pose of the affair was to allow the seniors to parade together in their caps and gowns, and they believed that this part of the function should continue. Swingout was abolished April 3 by the Senate Committee, which claimed that the affair had lost its traditional significapcc and there was therefore no reasoh for holding it. The commit- tee gave the Council until today to propose an alternate function, reserv- ing the right to approve or disapprove the proposal.

"From time to time it is well to change any system of government," she said, "and the new system is de- signed to interest all." Miss Lloyd referred to the crowd of almost 700 women when she said, "the interest shown here tonight is evi- dence of the stimulus of change." She congratulated the leaders under the old system and commended their foresight in planning this new gov- ernment. "One of our hopes is that the in- terest shown tonight will be continued with everyone having an active part to play," she said.

The winning score was 177; Pi Beta Phi and Gamma Phi Beta were runners-up with scores of 150 and 100, respectively. Hopes For Interest Grace Mayer, '34Ed., in turning over her office of president to Miss May- nard, the new president, expressed the wish for a continued interest in student government with the aim of developing "cultured women who would think and act for themselves." Miss Maynard introduced the new appointive officers and the three new vice-presidents, Charlotte Whitman, '35SM, Mary Ferris, '35Ed., and Billie Griffiths, '35, and the recording sec- retary, Barbara Sutherland, '35. Miss Maynard began her accept- ance speech with the words, "Where there's a way, there's a will," re- ferring to the new League system. In developing her theme, she emphasized the fact that individualization must (Continued on Page 5) Di linger Allies Beat Off Police In Gun- Battle CHICAGO, April 3.-AP) - Dil- linger desperadoes evaded capture t- day in a running battle, but Federal agents said that one source of ma- j chine-gun supply had been closed to the gangsters with the arrest of a Texas gun shop operator, who con- fessed to dealings with Dillinger henchmen.
