A Hideout In

AKRON, 0., Sept. 27-(P) -
Detectives tonight said 'they had
definite proof that Merton W.
Goodrich, trap drummer who is
wanted for questioning in con-
nection with the slaying in De-
troit of 11-year-old Lillian Galla-
her, was in this city last nigh't.
DETROIT, Sept. 27-(P) -Grimly,
but without a definite clue they cared
to divulge, police tonight pressed a
widening search for Merton W. Good-
rich, former Ohio asylum inmate, on
a warrant charging him with the
brutal slaying of Lillian Gallaher.
Warrant Out Today
The warrant was issued today. It
accused the 26-year-old trap drum-
mer of strangling and beating to
death the unsuccessful little sales girl
whose futile efforts to sell chances on
a punch board brought her to the
door of the Goodrich apartment last
Thursday aftdrnoon with only one
sale' to show fbr five hours of pitiful
endeavor.
Yesterday, the day Lillian was to
have celebrated her eleventh birthday
with a party at her home, her body
was found in a trunk in the Goodrich
apartment. She had been criminally
assaulted before.she died.
Many Clues Pursued
Since then, Goodrich and his 25-
year-old, red-haired wife who walked
"with a limp, have' been sought and
reported seen in scores of places-
throughout the middle west.
Michigan officers pursued clues in
Ohio and Illinois, but the prinicpal
search centered in Detroit, where ac-
quaintances told police, they, were
seen as recently as Tuesday. A num-
ber of apartment building managers
told of calls by a couple resembling
the Goodrich's Monday night and
police believe the fugitive and his wife
were seeking a hideout.

Police Quiz
Girl Friend
Of Hauptmann
Hauptmann And Colonel
Meet As Hunt For Aide
Is Continued
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-(PR) -
From- Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's
memory of the ransom rendezvous
and the recollections of a feminine
swimming companion of Bruno Rich-
ard Hauptmann, the authorities
strove tonight to trace accomplices
of Hauptmann in the kidnaping and
slaying of the Lindbergh baby.
r'Infreasing signs 'of a police'con-
viction that several persons partici-
pated in the kidnaping were mani-
fest as Col. Lindbergh, his identity
disguised, p e r s o n a 11 y confronted
Hauptmann in the office of Samuel J.
Foley, the Bronx district attorney.
Hoover Indicates Progress
J. Edgar Hoover, of the depart-'
ment of justice, has indicated prog-
ress toward further arrests. Other au-
thorities declined to discuss this phase
of the inquiry.
Earlier, Hauptmann had been held
in $100,000 bail after his attorney had
entered a plea, of not guilty to the
extortion charge.
For a short time late in the after-
noon a new clew appeared in a re-
port by Mrs. Katherin~e Maurer of
the Bronx, that her husband, John
Maurer, had disappeared and that he
had been acquainted with Haupt-
mann. This was discounted somewhat
when Mrs. Maurer returned to her
home saying it was "purely a domestic
matter' and that neither she nor her
husband knew Hauptmann.
Col. Norman Schwarzkopf, superin-
tendent of New Jersey State Police,
remarked that Harry Uhlig and Isa-
dore Fisch had been customers at a
store where the Maurers worked.
"John" Unidentified
The name "John" has bobbed up
again and again in the two-year-old
quest for the baby's kidnapers, for
that was the name by which Dr. John
F: Condon, the intermediary, knew
the man to whom he paid a $50,000
ransom.
Schwarzkopf said authorities had
"followed out everything" that Dr.
Condon had told them.

The Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
opened its season last night with "No

auspices of the Art Cinema League.
Widely heralded as a controversial
film, it played to a fairly large house,.
and met with practically uniform ap-
proval from members of the audience.
One of the campus anti-war organi-
zations is reported to have proposed
picketing the theatr'e, passing out
handbills condemning the militaristic
viewpoint of the film, but the pickets
failed to materialize, and the effects
produced by the show appeared to
justify this action, according to Jacob
C. Seidel, '35, of the Cinema League.

Carving Found
Of Prehistoric
Utah Mammoth
D o u 1 e Claims Accepted
Theories Are Blasted By
His Discovery
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 27.'
- P) - A crude picture of a main-
moth on a canyon wall near Moab,
Utah, was hailed today by Dr. Law-
rence Doule, professor of theology
at the University of Michigan, as
overturning accepted theories of the
age of prehistoric inhabitants of this
region.
He expressed belief the petrozlyth
indicates the possible existence of a
race here much older than the cliff
dwellers, more than 20,000 years ago.
The picture was rediscovered by Dr.
Doule and two residents of Moab after
a two-days search. Although it had
been previously discovered and photo-
graphed its location could not be
found in recent years.
The mammoth's four stump-like
legs and their toes, small tail and long
trunk, stand about two feet long and
16 inches high, and have been carved
on the face of the rocky cliff. It is
surrounded by other figures more
commonly found in western picture
writing.
Olympic Invitation

NEW YORK, Sept. 27--(P)--
United States participation in the

Berlin is assured.
The American Olympic committee

last night after listening to a two-
hour report presented by Avery Brun-t
dage, president of the American Ama-
teur Athletic Union and the Olympic
committee, who returned 48 hours ago
from a two months' investigation tour
of Germany.

Nomination Of Toy
Virtually Certain
Secretary Of State's
Nomination W o n B y
0. A. Atwood
(By Associated Press)
FLINT, Sept. 27-The Republican
state convention broke loose in an
uproarious demonstration today when
contesting Wayne county delegations
carried their fight to the floor.
The credentials committee, after
two sessions, recommended that only
a delegation headed by Harry S. Toy
be recognized.
U. S. A. Heggblom, of Detroit, de-
manded that the convention accept a
recommendation by the state central
committee that both delegations be
seated.
The divided crowd booed and cheer-
ed as Heggblom concluded his plea.
Judge Herman Dehnke, of Hermans-
ville, argued that the Toy delegation
should be recognized in 'the "interest
of Republican morality and decency.
"If you seat the other delegation
you will give Edward N. Barnard the
deciding vote in the selection of the
Republican ticket," Dehnke said.
"This party does not want its arm
draped around the Dillingers of Mich-
igan politics."
Barnard Admits Defeat
The delegates. voted to seat the
391 delegates from Wayne county
headed by Toy. The action of the
convention was a victory for Frank
D. Fitzgerald, candidate for governor.
Fitzgerald was backing Toy for the
attorney generalship. The rival fac-
tion controlled by Edward N. Barnard
was opposed to Toy.
When the roll call was less than
iaf completed Barnard conceded de-
feat. Taking the platform he said,
"We admit defeat but we are still
Republicans."
The convention voted to allow the
Barnard delegates to remain as "visit-
ors."
The convention action virtually as-
sured Toy's nomination.
Congressman Roy O. Woodruff
placed the name of George A. Pres-
cott, of Tawas City, in nomination
for secretary of state.
James G. Frey was placed in nom-
ination by' W. S. Carpenter, former
state welfare director.f
Orville A. Atwood was nominated
by Louis Webber, of Fremont. At-
Iwood was recognized as Fitzgerald's
candidate.
Isbister Nominated
Frey withdrew from the race.
Prescott withdrew after the roll
call showed an overwhelming swing
to Atwood.
Gilbert Isbister, of Port Huron, was
nominated as the party's candidate
for state treasurer, defeating Howard
C. Lawrence, supported .by Former
Gov. Green. The nomination of Is-
bister was regarded as another Fitz-
gerald victory in the convention.
Supreme Court Justice William W.
Potter, keynote speaker, read a tele-
gram from Chase S. Osborn criticiz-
ing Arthur J. Lacy, Democratic candi-
date for governor. Osborn wired that.
Lacy should be defeated, if for no
other reason than that he was "dis-
loyal to Gov. Comstock, the man who
made him."

Granted

As Usual

Sign-Out Sheets Must Be
Turned In Before Noon
Mondays
There is to be a definite change
this semester in the handling of late
permissions for women,Kathleen Car-
I penter, '35, chairman of the Judiciary
I Council, announced yesterday.
Late permissions areto be granted
as usual by Miss Jeannette Perry, as-
sistant to the Dean of Women. When
the chaperone or house-mother of the
League house, dormitory or sorority
has signed the slip, she will keep it
and give it to the woman in the
house handing in the sign-out slips on
Monday morning. Thus late permis-
sions will return directly to the Coun-
cil, attached to the sign-out sheets.
Miss Carpenter also emphasized
that all sign-out sheets from League
houses and sororities must be handed
in by 12 noon on Mondays. They are
to be placed in the box on the desk
of the Secretary of the League, which
is the middle desk in the Undergrad-
uate office. A typewritten list of all
latenesses, including the names of
the women, minutes late, and date,
is to be delivered with the sign-out
sheet.
Dormitories will continue to hand
in typed lists of latenesses at the main
desk on the first Monday of every
month, as formerly.
Any major infraction of rules should
be communicated directly to Miss
Carpenter at the Delta Gamma house.

D r. Franz Blumenthal
Here From Berlin On
Two-Year Visit
Dr. Franz Blumenthal, noted Ger-
man physician who arrived in Ann
Arbor recently, has taken up his
duties as research professor under
Dr. Udo Wile, head of the derma-
tology department at the University
Hospital.
Dr. Blumenthal is a prominent der-
matologist with a world-wide reputa-
tion, and has taught for 25 years as
professor at the University of Berlin.
He was brought here by an endow-
ment fund whichhprovides for two-
year professorships. Accordingly he
has brought along his family and has
taken a house on HIill Ave.
An outstanding physician, accord-
ing to members of his profession, Dr.
Blumenthal comes from a family of
famous physicians. His brother Dr.
Ferdinand Blumenthal, is one of the
foremost authorities on cancer re-
search in the world today, while his
father held the title of privy council-
lor, the highest honor that may be
attained by a physician in Germany.
Dr. Blumenthal's plans after he has'
completed his two years under the en-
dowment fund are as yet unan-
nounced. His position at the Univer-
sity of Berlin is still open, but it is
considered possible that he will re-
main here in a teaching capacity.

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 27.-(P) -
A blazing meteor burst apparently
within a few hundred yards of an air
liner carrying eight passengers, Pilot
Archie Anderson of the early morn-
ing transcontinental plane reported
on his arrival here today,.
Anderson was at the controls over
Farfield,when he saw the meteor. In-
stinctively, he swerved the plane;
then realized he couldn't expect to
dodge anything coming so fast. At
that moment the meteor exploded.
"I looked around suddenly when
Anderson swerved the ship," said Pilot
Jack O'Brien, "just in time to see the
final flash of the meteor. Boy! It was
close! That fire ball seemed right in
front 'of the propellers."

Will Aid Government To
Carry Out Peace Plan
Which Ended Strike
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-VP)-
The cotton textile industry tonight
pledged its cooperation to the govern-
ment in the various steps required to
carry out the terms of the peace plan
which ended the recent strike..
Speaking through its code author-
ity, it made it clear that the manu-
facturers expect to be consulted be-
fore changes in the code are made.
It was added, however, that the in-
dustry considers unnecessary appoint-
ment of a board to adjudicate labor'
disputes within its field.
With charges of discriminations
against strikers already before the
new board, the mill voters said they
were in accord with President Roose-
velt's request that all be reemployed,
except those engaged "in lawless vio-
lence" during the walkout.
Meanwhile, the new board ,already'
appointed, went quickly to work and
promised immediate action on the
discrimination allegations. These
were placed before it late in the day
by Francis J. Gorman, first vice-
president of the United Textile work-
ers.

Active Management Will
De Done By Board Of 5
Under Col._Lynch
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--(P) -
President Roosevelt today reorganized
NRA, appointing a committee of six
headed by Donald R. Richberg to take
charge of broad policies and future
legislation.
He named another board of five
I members to take over the actual ad-
ministration of NRA in place of the
one-man job held by Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson. It was indicated at the
White House that Col. George A.
Lynch, of the NRA, would head this
special board.
In his sweeping reorganization, the
President also stipulated that all fu-
ture decisions of policy and legisla-
tion would be reserved to himself.
A third committee or board will
be named, in all probability, later
to take charge of the judicial phases
of NRA, including enforcement.
Appointments Made
The President appointed the fol-
lowing men to the National Indus-
trial Recovery Board: Clay Williams,
A. D. Whiteside, Sidney Hilman, Leon
C, Marshall and Walton Hamilton.
All are now actively identified with
the National Recovery, Administra-
tion.
The members of the Industrial
Emergency Committee, ofdwhch
Richberg is to be director, include:
Secretary Harold L. Ickes;- Secretar
Frances Perkins; the chairman ot
the newly appointed Industrial Re-
coveryBoard; Chester Davis, farmad-
ministrator, and Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal relief administrator.
The President authorized the In-
dustrial Recovery Board to select its
own chairman. He named Clay Wil-
liams as the first member of the board
but left it up to the board to name
the chairman and executive secretary.
At the White House it was stated
that if the board saw fit to 'give office
to Col. Lynch it would certainly
be satisfactory there.
The President named Blackwell
Smith, NRA legal adviser, and Leon
Henderson, economic adviser, to the
board as ex-officio members without
votes.
NRA In Doldrums
While awaiting the naming of the
board, NRA continued to appear in
the doldrums. Johnson again was
absent from his desk, despite predic-
tions from his office yesterday that
he would surely be on hand by
today. As -t.o his whereabouts, it was
generally believed that he was se-
cluding himself in a New York office
to complete the writing of his auto-
biography.
Only the most routine functions
were carried on at the' recovery
agency. There was a general air of
abstraction among the upward of 1,-
000 aides, assistants and clerks, with
many wondering about their own fu-
ture as well as that of NRA. The
tempo of the Blue Eagle administra-
tion throughout appeared to have
slowed from its customary run to a
slow walk.
Strike Scene
Is Described
By D.R.Hobbs
A description of conditions during
the recent strike at the Charles F.
Seabrook farm in southern New Jer-
sey was given at the first meeting of
the Michigan Vanguard Club by Dav-
id R. Hobbs, '35L, who spent the sum-
mer in the strike vicinity.
Hobbs declared that the 400 work-
ers on the farm, inspired by a "low

wage scale, miserable living condi-
tions, and falseness of their employer
in breaking a previous settlement,"
were practically forced to go on strike.
