Many Persons Claim To Have Seen Him Since Sunday DETROIT, Sept. 28. - (') - Eight little girls who were to have attended. Lillian Gallaher's birthday party Wednesday bore her to her grave today, whilebarhunt that knew no state boundaries was pressed for Mer- ton W. Goodrich, the former asylum inmate accused as her slayer. Believed to have been virtually pen- niless when they fled Detroit - if they have left -Goodrich and his red-f haired wife were sought chiefly ink Ohio where both have relatives. From both relatives, however, came statements that the fugitives need ex- pect no help from them, and police expressed confidence that Goodrich's arrest was only a matter of time, pos- sibly hours. Search In Akron There were scores of "clues," most of them conflicting, but those which the police accepted as most promising placed the Goodriches in or near Akron. Reports described as "positive" said the couple stayed at a hotel near Ra- venna, near Akron, from Sundayt night until Wednesday morning. A truck driver said they rode with him into Akron Wednesday night and 153 persons said they saw them in Akron in recent days. Two Detroit detectives were carrying on the search in Ohio. Identify Goodriches Conflicting wth the Ohio advices, ar Detroit beauty shop proprietor said a woman resembling Mrs. Goodrich, even to a limp, visited her shop yes- terday, exhibited nervousness when the Gallaher case was discussed, andt gave an address which was fictitious. All 600 pupils of the school forI which Lillian was trying to raise money when she was assaulted, stran-I gled, and beaten to death a week ago, attended her funeral today, while thousands stood outsde the church and other thousands gathered at the cemetery.1 Sh arp Weapon Discovered In Suspeci's Cell c poon W i t h Knife-Like Edge Is Taken F r o m Hauptmannt NEW YORK, Sept. 28. - ()- Sharpened to a knife-like edge, a metal spoon was found today in the cell of Bruno Richard Hauptmann,1 shortly after his, counsel had an- nounced that a psychiatrist wouldI examine the alleged Lindbergh ran- som extortionist, presumably to de- termine the possibility of an insanityE defense.r To prevent any attempt at suicide,9 or escape, Sheriff John Hanley, of the Bronx, doubled the guard outside Hauptmann's cell after the spoon had been found. Accompanying this spectacular de- velopment, a close friend of Haupt- mann, Hans Kloppenburg, was picked up and questioned by District Attor- ney Samuel Foley. Kloppenberg's pic- ture was in the Hauptmann album and he has been sought for several days. Meanwhile agents of the Depart- ment of Justice in Denver announced that they were questioning Tony Ver- nier, arrested in a raid on his home. In his effects, they said, they had found the following postscript to a lettei sent to Vernier less than a month after the Lindbergh kidnaping from Minneapolis: "Ella says 'Hello' and wants to know, if you know who had the Lindbergh baby. Boy, was I surprised when I found out."1 Vernier said the postcript was a joke. He was wanted for investigation in connection with the selling of cards purporting to confer on buyers vir-r John Doe, Richard Roe 7ry Jointly To Open New Jail John Doe and Richard Roe are at ( then diving into bed. The police, wise- it again. Those two perennial police court habitues ran afoul of Ann Ar- bor's guardians of the law yesterday afternoon and are now incarcerated in the local bastile, awaiting trial on many and varied charges. Richard, it seems, became weary with the ways of this world, although police reported him as merely suffer- ing a terrific hangover, and decided to end it all by plunging into the Huron River, near Saunder's boat- house. Two of the city's gendarmes, hap- pening by, attempted to forestall Richard, but he was too quick for them. As he poised for the plunge the officers darted forward to grab him, but, with a dazzling exhibition of footwork, Richard turned, and pulled them both in with him. After that the party became rougher, as policemen have a somewhat under- standable aversion to being man- handled by a drunk. When Richard was finally brought to police headquarters, he evidently mistook the office for another part of the Huron, for he continued his diving-act, first plunging. to the floor with hands lifted as if in prayer, and ly knowing when enough is enough, left him there for the time being. John Doe, to return to the second protagonist, presented an entirely dif- ferent case. Posing as a blind man, he had been begging alms on a down- town street corner. According to the patrolman on duty there, John had evidently been imbibing too deeply and was cavorting around merrily. So the arm of the law dragged him to the station. But when he got there, John gave the office attaches quite a surprise. Looking around him, he asked, in ac- cents untutored and profane, why, for goodness' sake, they had him in a police statiorl. When the officers had recovered from the shock of finding John quite able to see, in addition to being possessed of a forceful and eloquent vocabulary, they placed him in a cell also. As a fitting conclusion to their day's exploits John and Richard have be- come the first prisoners to be taken to the new city jail. The Does and Roes of this world may well remin- isce in days to come: "Now, when grandfather opened the Ann Arbor jail ... 'a Varsity, Detroit Debate Nev. 9 IOpens Season Discussion Will Deal With Governmental Aid For Education Michigan's varsity debating team, tied for second place last year in the Western Conference Debating League, will begin its forensic season Nov. 9 in contest with the University of De- troit. The question will be concerned with Federal Aid for education. Tryouts for the' team will be held Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. in room 4003 Angell Hall, according to James H. McBur- ney, instructor of speech in charge of debating. He' said that he expected Edward Lichfield, '36, Samuel Travis, '37L, Jack Weisman, '37L, and Abe Zwerdling, '35, who were all members of last year's team, to come out again this.year. Other men on the campus who have debated with the Varsity squad are Stewart Cram, '35, Edward Downes, '35, and Clnton D. Sandusky, '37L. To Have Five Contests The schedule for this semester in- cludes debates with five institutions, with .a return meet arranged with each school. Michigan will meet De- troit in Ann Arbor Nov. 13. Two de- bates will be held with Wayne Uni- versity, the first on Nov. 21, when Michigan's negatve team will debate in Detroit, and the second on Nov. 27 in Ann Arbor. December 4 is the date set for two debates with Albion College. Both negative and affirmative teams will debate there. To Meet Northwestern The Michigan negative team will debate Northwestern in Evanston, Dec. 13, and the day after, the af- firmative will meet Indiana here. Last year Michigan's Varsity men's team lostato Northwestern and tied Wisconsin in the conference debating league. The Varsity was successful over Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Purdue, and Indiana in the Western Confer- ence Debatng League. It lost to Illi- nois, Ohio State, and Northwestern. The League is composed of the same schools that make up the Big Ten in athletics. Council Will Set Dates For Student Elections Dates for class elections in all schools and colleges of the Univer- sity will be set at a meeting of the Undergraduate Council to be held Wednesday night. The elections this year will be conducted by the Union and the council, with the Union having charge of the ballot boxes and the counting of the votes. Each class in the University elects its own president, vice-presi- dent, secretary, and treasurer. In addition, the junior class in each school and college elects represen- tatives on the J-Hop committee. American Women Golfers Defeat British For Cup CHEVY CHASE, Md., Sept. 28. - R) -Winning five of the six singles matches today, the American Curtis Sophs Cringe At coming Onslaught With SavageFrosh Class spirit, the joy of freshmen and the bane ofsophomore existence, is going to flourish with revived en- ergy this year in the opinions of campus leaders of student activities. In fact the large enrollment this fall gives promise of greater than usual activity. In recent years the freshman con- tingents have managed to maintain a margin of victories in the organ- ized fall and spring games while the smaller but desperate sophomore bands have scored numerous success- es in undercover forays. The height of this activity occur- red two years ago when the present junior class was in its budding in- fancy. One frozen, moonlight night a picked band of the class of '35 si- lently assembled and, with grim and purposeful steps, went a-hunting. The quest was not fruitless, for soon two quivering greenhorns were in their grasp and on their way north-the destination being the Hu- ron river. The silence of the crystal- clear night was interrupted by two splashes followed by some eloquent burbling -and two bedraggled fresh- men swished their weary way home. Public School Finances Good, Official States Will Lower Bonded Debt By $15,000 Payment On Principal In marked contrast to the situation of many school systems in this and neighboring states, the present finan- cial condition of the Ann Arbor pub- lic schools is highly satisfactory, it was stated yesterday by Lee M. Thurs- ton, assistant superintendent of schools and treasurer of the Board of Education. In spite of rather serious tax del- inquency in the past, he said, the schools are now running on a fairly normal program, and further express- ed the belief that the schools would probably be able to keep open for the full nine and one-half month term. Last year the Ann Arbor schools received $25,000 from the state under the provisions of the newly enacted Sias-Thatcher law, and the board is hoping to receive a somewhat larger amount for the support of the school during the present term, Mr. Thurs- ton stated. The bonded debt will be reduced by a payment of $15,000 of principal on Oct. 1, he said. The Ann Arbor school district is one of the few in this state able to borrow money on credit, should the need arise. The number of teachers is approxi- mately the same as last year, it was reported at the office of Otto W. Hais- ley, Superintendent of Schools. The enrollment of pupils has likewise un- dergone little change, although some classes were overcrowded at the out- set of the term. Glass Complains Of NRA And Sciatica On Return Compromise By Deinocrats AvoidsSpit G. M. Wilson, Lacy Choice, Selected By Party For Secretary Of State Fry, O'Brien Gain Places On Ticket Lacy Supporters Alarmed At Opposition Shown By Administration GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. 28- () - To avert a fight that threatened to tear their party wide open, Democrat- ic leaders compromised in their State Convention here today. A slate of candidates for State offices contain- ing two friendly to Gov. William A. Comstock and the same number ac- ceptable to Arthur J. Lacy, the new 'party standard bearer, was nomi- nated. The selections were: Guy M. Wilson, of Flint, for secretary of state and John J. Stack, renominated for audi- tor general, Lacy choices; and Pat-i rick H. O'Brien nominated for attor- ney-general and Theodore I. Fry, re- nominated for State treasurer, the candidates of the Comstock group. To! avoid a rift that might have thrown the convention into a deadlock the administration faction had to aban- don the hope to beat Stack with Mar- vin L. Coon of Escanaba. The' Lacy forces, on the other hand, had to withdraw its insistent demands that Attorney-General O'Brien be left off the ticket. On the only test vote, Lacy seems to have a majority in the convention. The convention supported him in seating a Kemp County delegation' viewed as friendly to Lacy. Despite this show of power, Lacy leaders were sufficiently alarmed at the fight shown by the administration and by ] Frank A. Piccard, senatorial candi- date, and the antics orthe delegates to consent to a compromise. r a STryouts For Opera To Be Held Nov. 1 With Monday, Oct. 15, set as the final date for submitting manuscripts for the 26th annual Michigan Union opera, a tentative date has been se- lected for the preliminary tryouts, it was announced yesterday. Allen D. McCombs, '35, president, stated that all students interested in either parts in the opera cast or pro- duction work will be asked to report Nov. 1. Several books are-already in prepa- ration, McCombs indicated. He re- quested that any students interested in writing either manuscripts or music contact Union officials at the student offices. The committee of judges will se- lkct the-best book at the conclusion of the contest and will probably an- nounce the winner before Nov. 1. FERA Applicants Must File Employment Cards Those applying for employment under the FERA must file employ- ment record cards at the office in University Hall before assignments - will be made, and those failing to do so within a reasonable time will be dropped from the eligible list to provide for others. FERA Committee. Conservatisimn NRA Keynote, Asserts Leader Clay Williams Chosen As Chairman Of Industrial Recovery Board Roosevelt To Pass On Policies Of NRA Sujden Changes Of Policy To Be Suppressed, Says Richberg WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. -(P) - Administration a s s u r a n c e s that "sweeping changes by sudden fiat will be discouraged" went out to business today from the now multiple-headed Blue Eagle Administration. This word came directly from Don- ald R. Richberg, lawyer who helped mold NRA policies in their infancy, and now directs an administration committee specially created to advise Mr. Roosevelt on NRA and other re- covery policies. Simultaneously, Clay Williams. wealthy fifty-year-old industrialist, was chosen to head the National In- dustrial Recovery Board now vested with all the business-bossing powers once wielded by Hugh S. Johnon. Roosevelt to Supervise Groups Over both groups - policy making and executive -- Mr. Roosevelt tight- ened reins of personal supervision in guiding NRA toward next winter's legislative gauntlet. Richberg's assurance to industry that no sudden upheavals need be expected, was given at a crowded press conference called, he said, to avoid "misunderstanding and mis-interpre- tation" of the relationships between his emergency industrial committee and the new NRA board. "The most important service at the present time in NRA," he said, "is to provide continuing assurance against sudden or sweeping changes o policy,. assurance of deliberatiVe 'tieor t d full discussion and an opportunityt for those involved to be heard. The' absence of sweeping changes applies1 to personnel as well as anything else." Then Richberg, speaking empha- tically as the reporters pressed closeY to his desk, added: "The President will decide the pol- icies. Our committee couldn't veto a decision by the Industrial Recovery Board, but I would say the President,k through our committee, could." Not to Intrude on Board With a smile, Richberg said that his industrial committee will make the recommendations as to the course ofI NRA directly to the President, butE "will intrude very little advice to the new board itself." The suddenness of the creation of the new NRA administrative board evidenced Mr. Roosevelt's desire forf pressing his reorganization plans. Sid-E ney Hillman and Leon Marshall, the two Labor members were the only3 ones in the city today except for the7 ex-officio pair - Blackwell Smith, NRA legal advisor, and Leon Hender- son, economic advisor.c Hillman and Marshall, in a long distance telephone hookup with Wil- liams and A. D. Whiteside, the two industrialists, elected Williams chair- man and Marshall executive secre- tary. The fifth member --Prof. Wal- ton Hamilton, of Yale - could not be reached because he was on a train hurrying to Washington. Wlliams' selection as chairman, after being the number one member named by Mr. Roosevelt, was re- garded as an obvious Presidential choice. 'Glover To Leave University For Federal Position Subject of Attack WILLIAM R. GREEN * * * Building T r ad e Group Def ies Labor President Refuse To Readmit Three Big International Unions To Membership SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28-(P) -- Directly defying William Green; presi- dent, and the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, thet Building Trades Department of the A. F. of L. refused today to reconsider its refusal to readmit three big inter- national unions to membership in the division. Green, referring to the position of the building trades body as illegal, indicated that the fight to force re-j admission of the three unions to the1 building trades department would be carried to the floor of the Federation convention which opens here Monday. This, the first major break in the ranks of labor, assembled for what] leaders said would be a crucial gath- ering, occurred just after Green had] arrived and proclaimed the intentionF of the Federation to point the way1 out of the unemployment situation. The three unions withdrew fromi the Building Trades Department sev- eral years ago. The Department's reaffiliation committee held that their readmission would disrupt depart- ment harmony and the convention upheld that position. Green, in predicting that the A. F. of L. will point the way out of the, country's unemployment situation, said 25,000,000 American workers werej depending upon his organization to offer a remedy for unemployment, "and to insist upon its being accept- ed and applied." Discriminated Strikers Will Return Monday WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 -() -- Textile strikes who have been refused re-employment were ordered today by union chiefs in a strategy move to apply for work next Monday. ' Acting upon the direct recommen- dation of the new Textile Labor Board erstwhile strike leaders adopted this procedure as a means of gaining gen- eral redetermination of the basis of discrimination complaints already filed with the board. By this method will be ascertained the exact number of cases to be adjudicated by that tribunal. "I conferred with Textile Board to- day," said Francis J. Gorman, na- tional strike committee chairman, "and I was authorized by the board to notify all local unions that have discrimination cases to send the work- ers to the mill on Monday morning Regents Make Known His Resignation; Will Not Take Immediate Effect Is Named Edward Olney Professor Mathematics Chairman To Join New Committee On Economic Security The resignation of Prof. James W. Glover, chairman of the mathematics department, in order to accept a posi- tion on President Roosevelt's newly created Federal committee on eco- nomic security was announced fol- lowing the first monthly meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday. Professor Glover will head a com- mittee of recognized life insurance authorities who will direct the prelim- inary work of the group in attempt- ing' to formulate a program dealing with economic security for the in- dividual. This program, according to an- nounced plans, would deal with health insurance, old age pensions, and par- ticularly unemployment insurance. The committee, under the chairman- ship of Professor Glover, will direct the preliminary work on the octuarial and statistical calculations necessary for the establishment of these forms of insurance. Hirsch New Band Head Professor Glover's resignation will not take effect until his successor is appointed. The Regents named Ed- ward Olney Professor of Mathematics. The appointment of Bernard B. Hirsch as acting conductor of the Varsity Band for.the present semester in the absence of Prof. Nicholas D. Falcone, who was granted a leave- of-absence on account of illness, was also announced. Mr. Hirsch, who has done both undergraduate and graduate study in the School of Music, was for several years first clarinentist of the band and acted on various occasions as student conductor. He will also hold the position of technical assistant in the music school, in charge of reed instruments. Bartlett Granted Leave Prof. Harley H. Bartlett of the Botany department was given a leave- of-absence for one year effective December 1 to accept an appointment as exchange professor of botany in the Philippines. Jose K. Santos was named exchange professor of botany to serve here. Two appointments to the executive board of the graduate school were made. Prof. Clifford Woody of the School of Education will succeed Dean James B. Edmondson also of the School of Education and Prof. Neil H.

The promotion of Dr. John W. Kemper from assistant to associate professor of oral surgery was confirm- ed by the Board. Was Insurance Expert Professor Glover has rendered pub- lic service as a member of the advis- ory board of the bureau of war risk insurance. He was instrumental in the organization of that bureau. He also prepared the United States life tables, recognized as probably the most complete and extensive ever published. For many years he serv- ed as consulting actuary of the Michi- gan Teachers Retirement Fund Board. Professor Glover assisted in the organization of the Teachers Insur- ance and Annuity Association, served as a trustee for many years and as president, while on leave-of-absence from Sept. 1930 to Sept. 1932, after which he returned to his duties as chairman and professor in the mathe- matics department.
