New French Premier

The German press has become a
news organ of the Nazis, and is now
one of the principal factors in re-
ducing the people of that country to
complete acceptance of the orders
and political philosophy of Der Fueh-
rer, and absolute ignorance of inter-
national and national matters affect-
ing them, declared Prof. James K.
Pollock of the political science depart-
ment yesterday to the afternoon ses-
sion of the University Press Club of
Michigan,
"The newspapers have become the
publicity agent of the Nazi party," he
explained. "That is how the German
people have been so easily convnced
that the Nazi movement is so won-
derful.'
One Side Of Scene
"One impression which one cannot
fail to carry away, when looking at
one side of the German scene, is the
complete psychological regeneration
of the German people," said Profes-
sor Pollock. The people are cheer-
' ful, confident, hopeful; they have
regained their self-respect. He told
the gathering that this summer he
noticed less unemployment, and the
"almost complete absence of any dis-
tress," and said that the undoubted
respect for authority and the love
of country which has been re-aroused
is what is carrying the country
through its extreme crisis."
Other Side
On the other side of the picture,
Professor Pollock pointed out, the
economic policy of Germany isicarry-
ing the people to ruin. Dr. Schacht,
their financial dictator, is forced to
play a waiting game, with the hope
that he can restore a favorable com-
mercial standing with the world at
large, at present withheld from Ger-
many.
In this respect Professor Pollock
condemned the policies of discrimina-
tion and terrorism which have isolated
Germany from the rest of the world,
and have undone all that had been
accomplished by Bruening and
Stresemann to restore post-war Ger-
many to a position of respect in the
eyes of the world.
He especially deplored the ruin of
the German universities wrought by
t h e government's discrimination
against intellectual leaders who were
not 100 per cent Nazis, and the des-
truction of Germany's leadership of
intellectual and scientific leadership
by this move.
Complete Censorship
Returning to the power of the press,
he spoke of the complete censorship
of all information in Germany, and
especially of the creation of a unique
governmental structure, "The Min-
istry of Propoganda and Pulic En-
lightenment," which has been estab-
lished in Germany under the leader-
ship of "the genius of mob psycholo-
gy, Dr. Goebbels." Other changes in
governmental structure and method
which he mentioned as commendable
were the change to executive-minded
rather than legislature-minded gov-
ernment, the abolition of the useless
states, and the complete monopoly
of one party, united with the state,1
in time of crisis.
"Nothing New"
Discussing the political philosophy
of the Nazi party, Professor Pollock
remarked that no point of it was in
any way new to the history of political
thought. First in the platform came
a campaign against the Jews, painted
by the Nazis as a corruptors of Ger-
man blood and character. The Jews,
he stated, were used by the Nazis as
scape goats to be blamed for the ruin
of post-war Germany.
Next on the party, credo stands au-
thoritarianism, or the "Fuehrer Prin-
zip," in which the line of authority
comes not from the people to the
government, but from the govern-
ment to the people, while the respon-
sibility is one from the bottom to the
top, and not the opposite, he said.
But although Hitler's movement is
based on the autocratic principle,

R.O.T.C. Has Gone
Practical-Old Lids
And Spurs Are Out
No longer will the egg-shaped hats
of former years decorate our future
generals' craniums, it was revealed
yesterday as the new R.O.T.C. uni-
forms arrived.
A new, cadet-style cap has been
ordered, corresponding in color with
the much deeper hue of this year's
uniforms. The jingling of martial
spurs will also be absent this year,
as boots are out, and slacks are in.
Oxfords have replaced the long, and
generally uncomfortable, leather cases
of former years.
Another missing feature will be the
solicitude with which the cadet offi-
cers have heretofore guarded their
own bright, new sabres. The mili-
tary science department has an-
nounced its intent to provide sabres
for the officers, thus eliminating the
need for disturbingly hauling them in
and out of philosophy courses and
lab sections.
*Truly an era of clanking has come
to an end, but the new officers may
still decorate their brawny and pad-
ded chests with many shining medals,
the rattling of which may be some
consolation. Rumor has it that thesej
new coats are fully equipped with
medal supports across each chest.
Dr. Bruce Is
Appointed To
Federal Po s t
Dr. James D. Bruce, vice president
in charge of University relations and
director of the department of post
graduate medicine, has been ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt to
membership on the medical advisory
committee. This group is to serve in
connection with the federal conimit-
tee on economic security of the indi-
vidual.
Dr. Bruce is one of 11 men who
has been selected to assist the com-
mittee formed by Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins; he will act in the
capacity of medical advisor. Among
the other members are included rank-
ing officers of such organizations as
the American Medical Association, the
American College of Physicians and
the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Bruce will leave here Tuesday
to attend a combined meeting of Miss
Perkins' committee and all the ad-
visory groups. At that time, President
Roosevelt will outline his plans and
will describe the goals that he desiresE
to attain. The advisory groups will
then meet on Thursday and Friday'

Picard Begs
For Harmony
Within Party
Believes Democratic Loss
Caused By Dissension In
a Own Ranks
States Lacy, Abbott
Must Stop Talking
Quarrels Among Leaders
Prevented Showing Of
United Front
(By Associated Press)
Frank A. Picard, defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for the United States
Senate, today addressed a plea for
peace to his party in general, and in
particular to Judge Arthur J. Lacy,
defeated nominee for governor, and
Horatio J. Abbott, Michigan's Demo-
cratic national committeeman.
"My advice to Lacy and Abbott is
that they should stop talking," Pic-
ard said at his home i Saginaw. "We I
were defeated because of quarrels inx
our own ranks during the past six I
months. If we had shown a united
front, we would have carried Mich-
igan."
Picard's statement came after Ab-
bott had charged the Democratic de-
feat to the "brazen effrontery of a
group of self-seekers headed by Mr.
Lacy," and after Lacy, in a long state-
ment, replied that the party could be
rehabilitated by shelving Abbott and
his friends.
Blames Dissension
Picard attributed his own defeat
largely to dissension within the party,
although he added that "to win by a
majority of about 44,000 is not a vic-
tory for a Republican senator in Mich-
igan, a man who has been at Wash-
ington for six years, who is a presi-
dential possibility, and who straddled
on the New Deal." He said he had
worked for two months before the
election to restore harmony to Mich-
igan Democracy, and would continue
his efforts.
Abbot's attack to which Picard re-
ferred was to the effect that Lacy
"succeeded in disrupting the Demo-'
cratic party in the state and alienat-
ed the support of thousands of loyal
Democrats and many thousands of
independent voters who otherwise
would have voted the Democratic
ticket - especially if it were headed a
by Gov. William A. Comstock, whoI
was entitled to the nomination."

PIERRE ETIENNE FLANDIN
Pierre Flandin,
Nlew Premier,
StatesPolicy
Programi Includes Fight
Against Depression And
Unenmployment
PARIS, Nov. 9 -(A")- Pierre Etien-
ne Flandin, newest "truce" premier,
promised the Nation tonight to fight
the depression, while aged Gaston
Doumergue went back into the re-
tirement from which he was called
to rescue France from Civil War.
Flandin's program, with which he
hoped to win the backing of France's
watching millions, included these im-
portant points:
1. Continuation of the policy of
political truce inaugurated when Feb-
ruary's bloody Stavisky riots scared
politicians into agreement.
2. A fight against poverty and
unemployment.
3, Economy in government.
4. Rapid adoption of the 1935,
budget.
5. Strengthening of the authority1
of the State.
Compromises on Constitution
His program, in general, resem-
bled Doumergue's. There was, how-
ever, one important difference.
Doumergue gave constitutional re-
vision prominent place. He insisted
that his plan, which would have
stripped the Senate of power to dis-
solve the Chamber and given it to the
President and Premier, should be
voted before the budget. On this rock
his ship of state was wrecked, for the
powerful Radical Socialists, headed
by Vice Premier Edouard Herriot, re-
fused to support him.
Flandin's program relegates con-
stitutional revision to secondary place,
with the result that his government
is assured of an adequate majority
when it faces the Chamber of Depu-
ties Tuesday.
Flocking to his support today were
the Radical Socialists, who got eight
portfolios in the government as
against the six they held under Dou-
mergue; the Republican Federation;
the Popular Democrats; the Social
Republicans; the Republicans of the
Left and the Radical Left.
In the Senate, as well, the majority
of political factions have adopted
resolutions favorable to the new gov-
ernment.
The cabinet took the oath from
President Albert Lebrun at midnight.
Political counsellors had advised
haste lest an interim without gov-
ernment provoke disorders. The min-
istry was the ninety-seventh since
the foundation of the Republic and
the eighteenth of the present legis-
lature.

Farley Requiem
Is Admonishedl
B Vandenberg
Michigan Senator And
Borah Remind Chairman,
Of LargeG.O.P. Vote
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 -(A')- The
Farley requiem for the Republican
party impelled Senator Vandenberg
(Rep., Mich.) to admonish him to-'
day: "pride goeth before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall."
Senator Borah (Rep.,Ida.) seconded;
his Michigan colleague, reminding the
Democratic. national chairman that
the G.O.P. popular vote reached
12,000,000 Tuesday, despite the Newa
Deal wave.
Also contributing to the post-elec-
tion flurry of political diagnosis, Ray-
mond Moley - a presidential adviser
-wrote in "Today": "The Democrat
who talks glibly of the end of the
Republican party is simply ignoring
the facts."r
His views, penned apparently before
the election, discounted the likelihood
of strong left or right parties rising
in this country.gThe Democratic
party, as he analyzed it, will retain
p.ower for some time to come while
the Republican remains a formidable
opposition.
An element of danger for the Demo-
crats was seen by Senator Lewis of
Illinois, meanwhile, in the size of its
majority in the new Congress. He;
cautioned care against bloc conflicts
to "avoid the bitter experience of
past administrations."
His statement sounded like some
of those coming now from Republican
liberals, in that it demanded a G.O.P.
reorganization "upon new principles,
guided by the leaders."
As it stands he said. "a new volit-

Head Of Relief
IFund Promises '

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. - (P)-
Harry L. Hopkins, relief administra-
tor, tonight promised Senator Borah
Idaho's Republican ind'ependent,
"quick action" if the latter would fur-
nish "particulars" to substantiate
his charges of "shameful waste" in
the handling of relief funds.
Just back from the West, Borah
stirred the capital with an election
aftermath demand for an inquiry into
the handling of the hundreds of mil-
lions in funds for the needy.
"Everyone wants to see those who
need relief get relief," said Borah,
"but millions never reach those who
need it. The amount expended before
it gets to those in need is appalling."
Borah today coupled his assertions
I of "waste" with an inference that

Coach Spears Brings A
Squad Of Thirty-Three;
Mostly Sophomores
Two Teams Crippled
By Previous Games
Oliver, Triplehorn, Ellis,
Beard, Definitely Unable
ITo Play Today
By ARTHUR W. CARSTENS
Beaten in its first three Big Ten
games, Michigan today will attempt
to climb out of the Conference cellar
with a victory over Wisconsin. The
'Badgers, too, will be seeking their
first win against a Conference oppo-
nent.
Coach "Doc" Spears brought a
squad of 33 players, mostly soph-
omores, from Madison yesterday in
!ime to hold a light drill in the Sta-
dium. Spears indicated that his team
would depend on a tricky attack to
score against the heavier Wolverines
and excluded reporters from the Sta-
dium drill while his deceptive forma-
tions were given a final polishing.
Coach Harry Kipke's squad spent
the afternoon on Ferry Field running
signals and working on defense in
dummy scrimmage.
Ticket Manager Harry Tillotson
estimated that a crowd of 30,000 would
be on hand for the game if the wea-
ther is propitious. This number may
be cut to 20,000 if it rains before
game time.
Both Teams Handicapped
Both teams go into the game
handicapped by injuries. The Wol-
verines haven't recovered from the
'hysical punishment they took at
Minneapolis while several Wisconsin
players were injured as the Cardinal
tnd White took a 7 to 0 beating from
LTorthwestern.
The squad of 33 players that Spears
)rought to Ann Arbor is composed
argely of sophomores and five of
these will be in the starting lineup
his afternoon. One of these sopho-
mores, Lynn Jordan, is the outstand-
ng offensive threat in the Badger
'ackfield.
Jordan passes, punts and runs from
his position at left half. Other soph-
>mores on the starting list are Null,
left end; Christianson, left tackle,
Kummer, left guard; and Jankowski,
Fullback. An ankle injury to Paul Jen-
3en, regular right tackle, has neces-
sitated the use of Captain Jack Ben-
ier at that position. Kummer, early
n the season, had taken the starting
issignment at left guard away from
!is captain.
Pacetti Outstanding Guard
Mario Pacetti, right guard, is the
man whom Spearsrhopes will be play-
ng in Michigan's backfield most of
he afternoon. Pacetti is a veteran
who has been outstanding all year.
Wisconsin hasn't scred on a Big-
Ten opponent in two games but has
won two non-Conference encounters.
They defeated South Dakota State, 28
'o 7, and eked out a 3 to 0 victory
over Marquette with a field goal in
the last few minutes of play. In the
last three games they have been shut-
out, 14 to 0 by Purdue, 19 to 0 by Notre
Dame, and 7 to 0 by Northwestern.
While Michigan has been beaten
by larger scores and has won only
one game the Wolverines rule as slight
favorites today.
No Experienced Reserves
Kipke finds himself with virtually
no experienced reserves available since
Russ Oliver, Howard Triplehorn, Joe
Ellis and Chet Beard are definitely
out of the game. The same team that
started against Minnesota will take
the field for the opening kickoff to-
day, but many of these, too, =will be
nursing injuries inflicted by the
Gophers.
The coach announced yesterday
that Chris Everhardus, sophomore
brother of last year's star, will get the

first call at halfback if Regeczi or
Aug have to leave the game. George
Bolas will replace Jennings at quarter,
if necessary.
