kanga Aga
By JOHN J. FLAHERTY
Tall, thin, Gen. Tsai Ting-Kai, "The
Poet Warrior." yesterday visited Ann
Arbor as a guest of the Chinese Stu-
dent Club.
It was General Tsai who so hero-
ically defended Shanghai, as com-
mander of the 19th Route Army
against an overwhelming Japanese
force in 1932.
The General, on a trip around the
world, speaks no English, but granted
an interview thiough his secretary,
C. S. Mark.
When asked the purpose of his trip,
General Tsai said it was largely edu-
cational. He wishes to see what the
western world is doing along indus-
trial, engineering, and military meth-
ods.
In Temporary Retirement
"The Hero of Shanghai" is now in
temporary retirement from the mili-
tary, but on his return to China will
try to apply the knowledge gained
on this trip in helping rehabilitate
his country and resist further Jap-
anese encroachments.

Apnarently unnerved by the reali
zation that he is charged with strik
ing the blow which, caused the deat:
of his wife, Ida, Raymond C. Gimme
waived examination yesterday whe:
1 arraigned before Justice Jay H. Payn
on a manslaughter charge.
He was bound over to Circuit Cour
on $10,090 bond which was not fur
nished.
In a low voice which trembled wit
emotion, Gimmey said he would plea
"not guilty" to the charge which Pros
ecutor Albert J. Rapp has 'place
against him. His hands shook, and h
appeared to be unable to keep himsel
under control.
Manslaughter Charge Preferred
Prosecutor Rapp explained to the
court that he recommended the man
slaughter warrant because he believe
that Gimmey was not guilty of an
criminal intent when he assaulted hi
wife. Murder charges would not b
preferred, he said.
If found guilty of manslaughter
which in Michigan is the equivalen
of third degree murder, Gimmey wil
face a sentence of from six months t(
fifteen years imprisonment.
He was arrested Thursday morning
by Detective Eugene Gehringer, aftei
physicians at St. Joseph's Mercy Hos-
pital had reported Mrs. Gimmey in a
serious condition. She had been ad-
mitted to the hospital at 3 a.m. Thurs-
day, a short time after receiving the
fatal blow which Gimmey has con-
fessed giving her.
When Mrs. Gimmey died, at 12:40
p.m. Thursday, her husband was ques-
tioned by Prosecutor Rapp, to whom
he told the story of the family argu-
ment which culminated in his strik-
ing his wife in the throat, causing a
fatal hemmorhage.
Broken In Spirit
Seemingly broken in spirit, Gimmey
has not asked for counsel to repre-
sent him nor has anyone volunteered
to act for him. County jail attaches
report that he is gradually returning
to normal, and that a number of
friends have visited him since his ar-
rest.
Gimmey's plea of "not guilty" auto-
matically shifts his trial to Circuit
Court, where he will be tried before
a jury. As the next jury will not be
called until Nov. 7, Gimmey has until
that time to plan a defence and seek
counsel.
New Homes For
Unemployed To
Be Constructed
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 - () -
Three million dollars, or thereabouts,
in Federal relief funds was set aside
today for immediate construction of
12 rural-industrial communities in
which homes and farms will be leased
to destitute families.
Mr. Harry L. Hopkins, the relief ad-
ministrator, told newspapermen his
plans, displaying photographs of
homes already built by relief funds
in three such villages.
Cheaper Housing Coming
So far as he was concerned, Hop-
kins said, the day of cheaper housing
in this country was coming "damned
soon."
He said the communities would
range in size from 15 to 700 homes.
These are to be occupied by stranded
industrial families; families trans-
planted from sub-marginal farm land
purchased by the Government and
families on city relief rolls who have
"agricultural background."
The relief administrator disclosed
that 40, states now have Federal-
financed rural rehabilitation corpo-
rations equipped to carry on such de-
velopment.
Plans For 50 Communities
Hopkins said plans had been drawn

Will Willis Ward play against Geor-
gia Tech today?
Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia
Tech speaking from Ypsilanti, when
asked if he or any memnber of his
team had any objection to Ward's
playing, answered, "I don't care to
discuss that, thank you. I am sorry but
I don't think I had better say any-
thing."
Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost,
when asked if Ward would play, said,
"I haven't anything to do with it."
Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman
of the Board in Control of Athletics,
when asked the same question said,,

"In the 22 years I have been a mem-
ber of the athletic board I have nev-
er had anything to say about who
played; I am not going to begin now."
Willis Ward was reached early this
morning at his rooming house, and
when asked if he were going to play,
answered, "I haven't anything to say
about it, you had better call the
coach. He usually decides the line-
up, and he could tell you better than
I."
Coach Harry Kipke could not be
reached, either at his home or the
Barton Hills' Country Club where the
team spent the night.

Plans For New
Magazine 'Are
Now Under Way
Plans for continuing a literary and
critical magazine, on the order of
that started last year by the Inland
Review, have been formulated by sev-
eral students and faculty members in-,
terested in this type of project.
No definite steps have yet been
taken towards the publication of the
new magazine, and will not be done
until after a meeting to be held Wed-
nesday for all those interested in
such a journal.
The meeting will be held Wednes-
day, at 4:30 p.m. in Room 2231 An-
gell Hall. All who are interested in
working on this type of publication
are invited to attend.
Among those who have lent their
support to the magazine are Leo
Kirschbaum, of the College of ,Engi-
neering, Otto Bird, '35, and Arthur
Carr, '35, formerly members of the
editorial board of the Inland Review,
and Robert Warshow, '37, and Morris
Greenhut, Grad., both Hopwood
Awards winners.
"The meeting Wednesday," Carr'
stated, "is being called in order to
see~whether there are enough persons
interested in a magazine of this type
to warrant its publication at the Uni-
versity.
"We urge anyone who wishes to do
so to come out and give his or her
support, whether he is interested
as a writer or a reader."

Six sectional conferences were

Prof. Camillo P. Merlino, of the ro-

TAPPING, WISTERT TO TALK
T. Hawley Tapping, general secre-
tary of the Alumni Association, and
Coach "Whitey" Wistert Tuesday will
go to Toledo to attend the weekly
meeting of the Toledo University Club.

"Ward Would Be Injured"
He declared that the sponsors of the
Ward movement say "it would be un-
Christian to discriminate against
Ward," but don't realize that it would
be just that to permit him to play
because in all likelihood he would be
injured in the game.
He further argued that the coaches
who had improved Ward's playing
ability should have the right to say
whether or not he should risk that
ability.
The next speaker, Sher Quraishi,
Indian, was the first to obtain a
semblance of attention from the en-
tire audience. He branded the aud-
ience a "bunch of fools," unable to
learn from the mistakes of others.
"You with the advantage of a uni-
versity education can't even allow a
meeting to be held until you are
bawled out."
Harvey Smith Speaks
Harvey Smith, captain of the track
team, stated that those who were de-
manding that Ward play did not
know Ward. On the other hand,
Smith said, those who opposed his
playing knew him best and were
interested in his welfare. Smith said
that he and Ward had roomed to-
gether when the track team had gone
on trips last spring.
From this point on, the meeting,
which had until then been dominated
by the "right," was more evenly bal-
anced by both sides, while invective
was hurled back and forth across the,
auditorium with undiminished bitter-
ness.
When the meeting was more than
half over, a large number of the
"right" faction departed, and the
discussion was continued with com-
parative orderliness from then on.
Just before the meeting was ad-
journed a resolution was passed by a
large majority authorizing a protest
to the Board in Control of Athletics
for having scheduled the game with
Georgia Tech last November.

Varsity Band Will
Act In Dual Role

At Today's

G aie

The Varsity Band will have its
hands full today presenting a full
program in honor of Michigan and
Georgia Tech, for, because of the'
great expense of bringing their 90-
piece band to Ann Arbor, Tech musi-
cians decided not to make the trip.
A feature of the intricate maneu-
vers worked out for the periods be-
tween the halves will be the playing
of the "Georgia Tech Yellowjacket,.
march, which includes the trumpet
passage familiar to radio and dance
band devotees, "A Rambling Wreck
from Georgia Tech and a Heluva En-
gineer." This melody has become so
popular by repetition by dance or-
chestras that many do not realize it is
the official march of the southern
school.
The Fighting Hundred will play
host to 150 pieces of the huge Uni-
versity of Illinois Bands next Satur-
day, and Nov. 2 will entrain for Min-
neapolis for the first time in its his-
tory.

Hildebrand And Savage
Today
By ARTHUR W. CARSTENS
Michigan meets Georgia Tech here
this afternoon in the Wolverines'
annual intersectional game. The ac-
tual game has been almost submerged
in a storm of racial discriminations
during the past week and probably
half the 25,000 people in the stands
will be there to see who plays at right
end for Michigan.
A Tech squad of 33 players and
Coach Bill Alexander arrived at Ypsi-
lanti yesterday morning, came to Ann
Arbor for a short workout in the Stad-
ium early in the afternoon, then re-
turned to their hotel in Ypsilanti to
remain until shortly before game time
today.
Past Scores Favor Tech
If either team is to be favored on
past scores it must be Tech, which
has, at least, succeeded in defeating
Clemson, 12 to 7, in a warm-up game
and scoring two touchdowns on Van-
derbilt. The Yellowjackets lost to
Vanderbilt, 27 to 12, while Michigan
State was blanking Michigan, 16 to 0.
Last Saturday Wallace Wade's Duke
team defeated Tech, 20 to 0, while
Chicago was trimming Michigan, 27
to 0.
Coach Harry Kpke took his squad
to Barton Hills for the night and
they, too, will not return to Ann Ar-
bor until shortly after noon today,
Passing Threat
The Yellowjackets showed a lot of
enthusiasm in their light Stadium
drill. A set of fast, clever backs ap-
pears to operate very deceptively be-
hind a rather light but fast-charging
line. Alexander hopes to score by
passes against what has been a very
weak Wolverine aerial defense.
However, if the Golden Tornado's
passing attack fails, Alexander feels
that he has an offensive threat in tiny
Clarence Roberts, 138-pound quar-
terback who has gained considerable
ground off tackle.
The Tech team boasts of two men
who won positions on last year's all-
southern selections: Clyde Williams,
left tackle, and Jack Phillips, full-
back. Alexander has a brother com-
bination at the guards, Jack and
Dave Wilcox. Jack plays right guard
on offense but replaces Charles Pres-
ton as a roving center on defense.
With Shorty Roberts suffering from
a leg injury Alexander said'that Mor-
ris Dean, right tackle, would come
out of the line to do Tech's punting
as long as he is in the game.
Wolverines Have Light Drill
Coach Kipke devoted Friday after-
noon's short drill on Ferry Field to a
last-minute attempt to polish a pass-
ing .attack and to giving his starting
team a chance to watch Tech plays
as demonstrated by a white-jersied
reserve squad.
The Wolverines started practice af-
ter the disastrous Chicago game with
a lot of enthusiasm but their spirit
slumped in mid-week. Yesterday they
again appeared to feel they were go-
ing places and ran through a brisk
passing drill with considerable snap.
Whity Aug, although obviously handi-
capped by a sore arm, was passing
better than he has at any time this
week.
Aug, hard driving halfback who
played freshman football for Notre
Dame, has shown well in practice

all week and will get his chance to
make good in the starting line-up
today.
Problems Facing Kipke

Rosa Ponselle Declares That
Prima Donna 's Life Is Not Easy

Reverend Walsh Warns Rich
To Share Their Gains Equally

The person who believes that the
life of a prima donna is a veritablej
"bed of roses" stands at odds with
Rosa Ponselle, at least. And by being
at odds with Miss Ponselle, that per-
son is perhaps disputing one of the
greatest operatic and concert so-
pranos of the day. .
For there are thorns on even a
prima donna's "bed of roses," as Miss
Ponselle will tell you. This business

it appears to be on the surface, she
says. Miss Ponselle's sudden rise to

upon which a good deal of her artis-

ard, she must have plenty of rest and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. -(A) -
The Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J.,
warned the rich today to share profits
"more equitably" or their wealth will
be seized.
Dr. Walsh, vice-president of
Georgetown University, told a student
assembly at American University:
"The new conception of social jus-

men will increasingly demand a more

that must be faced squarely and

sponsibility attaching to property,
one of two things will happen. Either
the government will be obliged to
conscript their wealth under the gen-
eral welfare clause, or mobs will rude-

The memory of two shutouts in the
two preceding weeks was not the only
thing troubling Coach Kipke last
night. He is worried about Regeczi's
kicking and about the physical condi-
tion of Mike Savage and Willard
Hildebrand.
